Why @SushiSwap is one of the most overlooked DeFi protocols. [Thread]

Many see $Sushi as simply another AMM competitor to Uniswap. However, Sushi’s plans are to be more than just a DEX. They want to be the home of DeFi through the creation of a synergistic ecosystem. 1/n Image
@SushiSwap has partnered with several of the most well known DeFi protocols as part of their aggressive expansion strategy. These partnerships will allow Sushi to tap into additional liquidity and further build their Moat.

@iearnfinance @AaveAave 2/n Image
Let’s take a look into the various aspects of Sushi.

SushiSwap is the most well known part of the SushiSwap ecosystem. Similar to $UNI it uses a constant product market maker. Sushi does about 20% of all DEX volume and is expanding to become multi chain 3/n Image
In V3 there will be several additions to SushiSwap which will further increase it’s liquidity and capital efficiency. 4/n Image
Another aspect of Sushi is Onsen. Onsen is a liquidity mining incentivization program. Onsen is critical for the formation of future partnerships as well as bootstrapping liquidity for new DeFi project. This will further increase Sushi’s liquidity. In Defi liquidity is 👑 5/n Image
BentoBox is another big addition to the Sushi ecosystem. Bento is a gas efficient ecosystem for dApps. It will allow for increased capital efficiency and development in the Sushi ecosystem. Again this will drive more liquidity to the Sushi ecosystem 6/n Image
Kashi lending is the first dApp built in BentoBox. Kashi is an isolated lending market and margin trading platform. Users are able to create their own lending pairs, creating an infinite amount about shorting possibilities that were previously not possible 7/n Image
If you need another reason to hold $Sushi. Holders are able to stake their sushi for xSushi. xSushi holders receive 0.05% of all trading fees on the platform. Furthermore, xSushi is available on @AaveAave to be used as collateral. 8/n Image

A closer look at @centrifuge and their goal to be the premier option in financing [THREAD]

An analysis by Dartmouth Blockchain @Voxchain
Centrifuge aims to bring real-world assets (RWA) to DeFi allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), consumers and every aspect of our economy access to an open, competitive, liquid and free market for financing.
/2
The Problem:

In current traditional financing practices, intermediaries have controlled the costs of debt/financing creating a barrier for SMEs.

Centrifuge's goal is to make interest on debt a free-market operation with fewer financial middlemen. /3 Image

A “macro” framework to projecting short-term price sentiment for the major coins ($BTC and $ETH): [Thread]
Firstly, major coins are defined as coins that facilitate the greatest volume currently in the market. These three are $BTC, $ETH and $USDT. References for these coins will be in terms of BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT.
A macro-outlook can also be used for alts but the relationships that will be mentioned are weaker for these pairs due to their nature (low liquidity, smaller caps, greater manipulation).

$LUNA Exploratory Primer (A 🧵)

Within the past few months, the Terra ecosystem has expanded significantly. This will only grow with the Columbus-5 update as there are countless protocols waiting to deploy on Terra. Image
$LUNA token offers several value propositions. Let's take a look.

1. Every time $UST is minted, an equivalent $ amount of $LUNA is burned

This means that as demand for $UST grows within the ecosystem and cryptoverse, more and more $LUNA will be burned. Image
2. Core Protocols built on top of Terra will further the demand for $UST (Thus burning more and more $LUNA) Image

DeFi 101: AMM's (by @0xJme)

As #DEX trading volumes consider to surge as users begin to embrace #DeFi, we have seen a variety of different automated market makers forms which have been a significant improvement to the original constant product model. Let's take a look at them. Image
Constant Product (x*y=k)

This is the original AMM model that allowed for a breakthrough in decentralized trading. It requires the LP to deposit an equal amount of both assets. It works by making k a constant and changing x (asset 1) and y (asset 2) which gives a price for both Image
Hybrid Pools

Using the constant product AMM to trade fully correlated assets (stablecoins, WETH/ETH) proved to not be the most capitally efficient. The hybrid AMM concentrates liquidity in order to reduce slippage and improve capital efficiency. This is the model used by $CRV Image

1/

With the upcoming release of the AMM Trident and NFT marketplace Shoyu, @SushiSwap is poised to capture increased DEX market share as well as build out its moat, all while becoming the most complete DeFi ecosystem.

$SUSHI #SUSHI
2/

Trident is a one-of-a-kind AMM model that increases LP flexibility as there are 3 new pools:

- Weighted Pools (Think Balancer)
- Hybrid Pools (Think Curve)
- Concentrated Liquidity Pools (Think Uniswap)

Increased optionality = decreased capital elasticity
3/

Sushiswap's native NFT marketplace is also releasing soon, and this should bring plenty of new and incumbent users. $SUSHI is also trying to make NFTs more interactive by building a metaverse display, and allowing for creators to experiment with 'social tokens'.
