People had been sleeping on Arbitrum $ARB @arbitrum again

But don't make that mistake anon

$ARB's $2.5B TVL means it's still the premier DeFi eco

Hence I give you today TOP 8 UNIQUE Arbitrum DeFi projects and their bullish catalysts 🐂🌕 🧵

1/ $GMX @GMX_IO

$GMX is the blue-chip Arbitrum deriv platform w/ $500M TVL and vol

The pioneer in #RealYield w/ $GLP rev sharing

Upcoming catalyst: GMX v2 testnet in 2 weeks + synthetics trading could open up fresh trading pairs - more volume + renewed narrative

2/ $RDNT @RDNTCapital

RDNT is a cross-chain lending market supported by LayerZero

Bullish catalysts: LRZ narrative, more assets + chains esp. ETH support could skyrocket w/ $LDO $CRV

Read my thread to learn more about how RDNT could be the next AAVE

3/ $PENDLE @pendle_fi

Pendle’s Yield Token (YT) and Principal Token (PT) opened up a new DeFi interest rate deriv market space w/ new yield strat

Interest rate derivatives has a 400B TradFi market

$PENDLE's $35M MC means it's still underrated 💰

Bullish catalyst: Pendle Wars / LSDFi

$PENDLE had been accumulated by @magpiexyz_io
& @Equilibriafi to control gov rights w/ boosted rewards

Feelin similar to the Curve Wars

$PENDLE war where protocols compete for $PENDLE's yield is bullish 🐂

4/ $PLS @PlutusDAO_io

PLS is the only gov aggregator on $ARB

It had captured $15M timelocked Arbitrum assets e.g. $DPX $JONES

Upcoming catalysts: v2 tokenomics, plsGRAIL, large Arb airdrop

Read my thread to know how $PLS can be the next $CVX 🌕

5/ $SILO @SiloFinance

Silo Finance is unique in having long-tail assets as collateral

Isolated pools = less risk of long-tail asset causing a meltdown

More market interest in borrowing and lending long-tail assets = $SILO gud

Arbitrum DEX Wars

Various teams are trying to build an Arbitrum-native DEX to dethrone Uniswap

Uniswap is still 10x the volume and TVL of most other Arbitrum DEXes

Thus whoever is best positioned to capture / accrue value from Uniswap's vol and TVL will be blue-chip

6/ $GRAIL @CamelotDEX

CamelotDEX had taken an unique approach in by partnering with lots of protocols fr liquidity

It has 100M TVL and had a v2 upgrade on a more efficient AMM

With nitro & incentivised pool coming to v3 soon $GRAIL could pull in more TVL and volume 👀

7/ $CHR @ChronosFi_

Chronos is a Solidly fork and it's unique in implementing a 0-rebase mech & maturity-adjusted LP returns

It's at 200M TVL and has gud partnerships

$CHR's vol had not caught up to TVL but if it does = future $ARB blue-chip?

8/ $GND @GNDProtocol

$GND takes an unique approach in being in of the only protocols in capitalising Uni v3's high vol.

It helps LPs profit by using dual range to help LPs profit w/ high APR #realyield
