A huge CONGRATS to the @yieldyak_ & @gondola_finance teams for cracking top 5 TVL on @avalancheavax:
- $YAK team has been a #defi leader & “foundational” $AVAX project from the start now ~$35m
- $GDL is the NKOB after just launching last week & already at ~$25m TVL
1/6
$GDL $25m TVL is all the more impressive given some early hiccups at launch. The team is delivering an airdrop to compensate those users negatively impacted by the staking bug (in conjunction with swapping incentives & early staker airdrops)


2/6
The $25m TVL in just a week just shows the enormous market need that the @gondola_finance team has identified for stableswaps & fragmented liquidity


3/6
Right now, there is significant slippage (5%) in the DAI-zDAI pool which would normally be arbed but isn’t due to the $ZERO bridge being down. Stakers are willing to stomach this slippage due to the +250% APYs. I would expect this discrepancy to close once the bridge returns
4/6
Another issue concerning some users is a potential rugpull due to the existence of a migrator with no timelock. The team is working hard to put in a timelock over the next couple of days – so hopefully this mitigates any nagging concerns from the community
5/6
I have been working hands-on with the entire $GDL team in delivering the best project possible & I have high confidence in team’s good intention & mission to deliver value-add to the $AVAX #defi ecosystem. They are working hard to build & fortify trust & I stand besides them!
6/6

So what could @yieldyak_ $YAK token be worth? Some napkin maths:
- $20m TVL x 0.5%/day (avg APR) x 5% fee = $5k/day this money printer makes x365 days = $1.8m revs
- this is *current* run-rate TVL. $AVAX TVL is currently ~$375m so $20m is ~5% of total

- $AVAX defi ecosystem is nascent & has huge potential. Let's assume it grows to $1b TVL (not inconceivable, more likely than not), & let's say @yieldyak_ continues to outpace overall AVAX defi as I expect it to, ie auto-compounding trend is strong & their roadmap to be the

2/4
@iearnfinance of $AVAX becomes realised on the way to world domination. I think 10% share of overall TVL is pretty conservative given this. So revised maths:
- $1b total AVAX TVL x 10% share = $100m TVL x 0.5%/day (avg APR) x 5% fee = $25k/day x365 days = $9.1m revs!

Weekly AVAX Defi Ecosystem Commentary & Yield Farming Roundup (Mon May 3) on @avalancheavax Farming Yields for $PNG, $PEFI, $ZERO, $LYD, $OLIVE, $ELK, $YTS, $BAMBOO, $COM, & new $BAG + auto-compounders $YAK & $SNOB

1) Macro Commentary
I’ve been obsessed with the state of AVAX defi ecosystem since I widened my focus & started comparing vs other chains, & seeing that we’re losing in the race to build TVL


2/19
Here’s an updated table, adding also $MATIC & $LUNA as requested

& a cheat sheet of protocols:


This has caused me to start experimenting with other chains, notably #BSC & $SOL

How can @avalancheavax improve its #DeFi ecosystem? This is the question which has been keeping me up at night... Here are my high-level suggestions:



1/4
1) Aggressively support NATIVE projects with grants & internal @avalabsofficial resources
2) Have a united front with your #defi "foundation" partners
@AvalaunchApp launchpad to bring in new projects
@yieldyak_ defi expertise & integration
@pangolindex DEX/liquidity

2/4
3) Focus on building TVL as your primary KPI, invest your war chest NOW. Be competitive & try to win vs other inferior chains. Yes, $AVAX is the best tech & CX (once on-ramped), but users will go elsewhere if that's where the growth, APY, growth & quality projects are

Finally @Pandaswapex is LIVE! Been waiting for this one all week. Farming/rewards of $BAMBOO will start at block 800,000 (~1-2 days). Come back for full review of APYs when launched!
@Pandaswapex yield farming is LIVE (as of ~9:45 UTC)!!!
Will try to post live updates on my strategy - GET IT HERE 1ST
But trying to press buttons as fast as possible to make free monies
#AVAXyieldfarming, *EXTREME* #ALPHAleak

Here's my @Pandaswapex playbook (which can be repeated for future new farms):

1) They told us farming rewards started block 800,000 -> go to avascan.info/blockchain/c/t… to see what block we are at

Daily Update (Thu Mar 24) on @avalancheavax Farming Yields for @pangolindex, @OfficialZeroDEX, @complusnetwork, @YetiSwap, @elk_finance + @yieldyak_ auto-compounder

Hi All - since the last update a couple of days, I feel like I've aged 5 yrs...

1/12 ImageImage
1) Price Action: yesterday, we had some uplift with @Tesla's news that they would accept #bitcoin, but that was short-lived with crypto taking a dive & BTC struggling to stay above $50k & #Ethereum hovering ~$1.6k. $AVAX is -17% to $25.50. UGH!!!

2/12 Image
2) Yield Farming. In times of macro weakness, the investor tendency is towards risk aversion, and yield farming is viewed as risk-on. So I've been monitoring the farms closely, and it's good to see that, in spite of price weakness, there has been stability at the lows

I've been trying to understand for some time the impact of $GBTC (Grayscale Bitcoin Trust) on the price of $BTC. Here's a good article to start, and here's a thread on my current thoughts... 1/9

hackernoon.com/grayscales-gbt…
There's no doubt that $GBTC has been a driving force in allowing investors to gain exposure to $BTC. For many investors, it provides the easiest way to get crypto exposure. As a result, $GBTC often trades at a large premium (20%-30%) over spot $BTC 2/9
Recently in January, $BTC prices have declined from a high of >$40k to <$30k (now back near $35k). $GBTC's premium to NAV has also dropped to <5% 3/9
