2/ $WAULT is going to offer a full suite of DeFi products on BSC: yield aggregator, AMM DEX, lending platform, staking/liquidity mining, Wault LaunchPad, Wault Locker, an elastic supply stable coin, and “Dextools” for BSC....
3/ Essentially developing the tools that are needed for the BSC DeFi ecosystem to mature and become safer for investors; and these are not far-away goals.
These tools are in active development and $WAULT is dropping new announcements almost daily!
4/ The latest announcements were on the release of Wault LaunchPad (helping projects hold their pre/private sales through Wault), and Wault Locker (a Unicrypt-like tool to ensure raised funds and tokens are locked as intended). In short, Wault will help rug-proof BSC.
5/ Liquidity mining pools and $WAULT staking are already live, and next in line will be their flagship product: yield optimization Vaults, which will invest the users funds across different DeFi platforms shifting funds automatically to seek the best returns.
6/ In Q2 Wault will release an elastic supply stable token, $WOLD, that will be used as collateral for their yield optimisation and lending platforms.
In Q3, they will release their own AMM Dex to compete with @PancakeSwap, and in Q4 their own lending platform.
7/ Another point that makes $Wault stand out from other BSC projects is its focus on security. Not only have their smart contracts been audited by @certikorg, but they are working on solutions to make other project launches safer.
8/ $WAULT is the platform’s governance token (governance will be fully transferred to the community by the end of Q1), which also allows holders to earn staking rewards incl. part of the liq mining supply, platform revenues and token inactivity fees (more on that later).
9/ The max supply of $WAULT is 1M, with 50% reserved for liquidity mining and staking rewards, 24% sold in private + public sales, 17% for initial exchange liquidity and market makers, 4% for marketing and treasury, 3% for the team (locked for 3m), and 2% for bug bounties.
10/ Staking & liquidity mining incentives will be distributed over the first 80 days, starting Feb 23rd, with 50% in the first 10 days, 25% over the following 10, and so on w/ distribution halving every 10 days.
11/ As mentioned above, $WAULT also has an “inactivity fee” where for every transaction on the token, 0.8% of the tx amount is deducted from the combined group of inactive wallets (wallets that aren’t staking or providing liquidity) and redistributed as LP & staking rewards.
12/ This inactivity fee was initially an unintended consequence of porting the project code from Ethereum to BSC, but the team decided to maintain it as a useful feature to incentivise token holders to participate in the network.
13/ The project launch on Feb 23rd was a success, with over $16.7M in TVL right after launch, and token price rising from the listing price of $1.30 to a high of $44 in the first 24h.
Current price is $31 with a $10M MCap, and FDV of $31M.
14/ An idea of $WAULT's potential upside can be formed when considering it's closest competitor is $AUTO with a $61M MCap and $366M FDV.
15/ Wault’s main dev (@CreppyDe on TG) is anon but doxed for the @certik_io team. He is very present on the project’s TG, whilst making new medium articles and announcements nonstop. He is also the main dev of Bas3r, which will potentially be integrated into the Wault ecosystem.
16/ Finally, following the successful project launch the team have announced that 8 new devs have joined the project, meaning even faster development and more product announcements coming soon...
1/ As the @optimismPBC team has dropped news that their mainnet launch has been brought forward, I thought it would be useful to go through what the Optimism ETH Layer 2 solution is, how it works, and what it means for #Ethereum...
2/ The reason for all the excitement is that L2 solutions such as Optimism will help increase Ethereum’s throughput (tx per second), decrease latency (how long a tx takes to be confirmed) and greatly reduce gas fees. All without losing the security of the Ethereum mainnet.
3/ This is the main difference between “side-chain only” solutions (such as @0xPolygon or @xdaichain) and actual Layer 2 solutions. Side-chain solutions have their own consensus mechanism and security, and do not benefit from ETH's Layer 1 security, while L2 solutions do.
1/ $QUICK @QuickswapDEX. ETH L2 projects are in vogue, so it’s a good time to speak about Quickswap, a Uniswap competitor built on Matic's L2 infrastructure. $QUICK, sitting at ~25M Mcap, is seeing impressive increases in trading volume and liquidity, and for good reason...
2/ To get straight to the point, on Quickswap you have the same AMM Dex experience as on Uniswap or Sushiswap, BUT with 1 second confirmation times, transaction fees that cost a fraction of a cent, and without sacrificing decentralization as you would when using a BSC Dex.
3/ While Quickswap is not the only Uniswap competitor, what is notable here is that Quickswap is starting to see real use, with volume and liquidity increasing fast.
1/ xDai STAKE, $STAKE, xdaichain.com. Given how crazy ETH fees have been recently it’s a good time to talk about what’s probably the most used L2 scaling solution for Ethereum right now with only a 150M Mcap, xDai $STAKE
2/ The xDai chain is an Ethereum sidechain where ETH smart contracts can be written and deployed in the same way as on the mainnet. So any asset on Ethereum can be bridged to the xDai chain and used there, with a fraction of the fees, and faster confirmation times (5s per block).
3/ xDai is not the only L2 side chain solution on Ethereum, but it is crazy how much adoption it has been getting lately and how undervalued their $STAKE token is compared to other L2 sidechain solutions
$MATIC $854M
$OMG $925M
$STAKE at only $150M
1/ $RGT, rari.capital (@RariCapital). This is one most of you already know, but there is so much happening and so much great innovation coming from these guys (Fuse + Tanks + RSS coming in a few weeks…) that I thought it deserved a proper review
2/ @RariCapital is a yield aggregator allowing users to earn the best yield on their crypto within different risk appetites. They currently offer 3 yield pools (2 stablecoin & 1 ETH pool), applying funds across DeFi protocols such as Compound, dYdX, Keeper, mStable, Aave, etc.
3/ But the point is that for Rari this is just the beginning. Their current product competes with existing yield aggregators (Yearn, Farm, Alpha...)l leveraging on the same available DeFi protocols (the Aave’s, Compounds, etc) to earn the best available yields.
