I just published Ethereum: The Digital Finance Stack link.medium.com/T7XLmhb5BY

This has been my most ambitious article to-date! Dive into an illustration of Ethereum as a digital finance stack, with metrics and market behaviors found at each level.

I'll summarize below!
1/
Ethereum is a platform, built to support a financial super-structure. User behavior in this super-structure creates market forces that push/pull on the assets that run inside it

Metrics found at each layer of the financial stack will illustrate the economic state of Ethereum
Layer 0 — Ethereum: The Global Bond Market
Metric: The ETH Stake Rate

The ETH Stake is the gravitational pull of value into ETH and into the bottom of the stack.
Layer 1 — MakerDAO: The Bedrock
Metrics: The Stability Fee; The Dai Savings Rate

The Dai Savings Rate and the SF are the gravitational pulls of Dai down to the MakerDAO layer
Layer 2—Lending and Borrowing
Metrics: Dai Weighted Average Borrow & Supply Rates

The Dai WABR and WASR take the averaged rate that Dai is supplied to, or borrowed from all Dai lending/borrowing platforms.

This layer illustrates the market rates of borrowing or supplying
Layer 3—The Application Layer
Metric: ETH Locked in DeFi

The application layer is the "equal and opposite" layer to Layer 0. It is the "push" to the ETH Stake Rate's "pull".

The app layer is a growing set of applications that entice ETH to stop staking, and move up the stack
Layer 4—The User Aggregation Layer
This is the interface layer. This is the @InstaDApp @zerion_io& @SettleFinance layer, where teams produce applications that bridge protocols, aggregate liquidity, and supply transaction volume

This is where the efficient market hypothesis lives
Please read the article! The final 1/3 of the article talks about the sythensization of all stacks into a single global financial marketplace.

It also talks about the absolute bull case for Ethereum.

If you enjoy it, please give me claps! Its like money to me.
