All eyes are on @MercurialFi. The vote to fund them with 167k$ in $LUNA to incentive the $UST pool will end tomorrow. The result is clear: 99,3% vote yes.
2/ Why @solana? As outlined in the initial agora post by @jkuanderulo, the concept of $UST is based on growth and utilization.
Solana promises a bright future in DeFi, with @MercurialFi as the core protocol for stablecoin adaption. So, a way to grow $UST usage & utility!
3/ @MercurialFi enables low slippage swaps for stablecoins on multi-token pools.
Instead of having a pair like USDC-UST, they create a vault out of USDT, USDC, and UST.
By introducing dynamic fees, they created a unique, secure, and highly liquid environment for stablecoins.
4/ More stuf like lending and a native DAO are in the making. They look promising!
What about yield? Let us have a look at the possibilities to farm with our $UST on their pools.
And no worries, one of the benefits of the pools is that you can provide 100% liquidity in UST.
5/ The UST-3Pool currently offers an APR of 22%. The numbers have come down over the weekend (35%)
Based on some team insights (discord), the pool is aimed at an APR of around 20%.
Additionally, $LUNA tokens will be distributed between all LP holders on a pro-rata basis.
6/ "But Anchor offers already 20%, ser!"
Fair feedback. There might not be an easy answer from a yield perspective if you should allocate funds right now.
Two things I think we should consider:
(1) $UST exposure & expansion (2) Early mover advantage on @solana with $MER
7/ (1) $UST exposure:
As $LUNA & $UST holder, I have an interest in maximum exposure of UST on other blockchains. You can see this investment as a long-term yield opportunity on the LUNA price.
Our work as a community now can establish UST as the leading stablecoin on @solana
8/ (2) Solana & $MER:
In case we see a DeFi summer on @solana as last year on $ETH, you might be in a great position farming a young and promising protocol as @MercurialFi.
Do you think DeFi will explode on Solana? This could be a chance for you. Take your decision wisely!
9/ "Any info on audits?"
Not yet, but working on it. They are still in beta with extensive text coverage (5/1 test to production code ratio; team member info)
1/ Short or Long Farm on @Mirror_protocol? Maybe both? And how to integrate the volatile Short APRs in all of this? What happens if the mAsset goes up in price?
Due to the fantastic @terra_money community, we now have more clarity to answer all those essential questions.

2/ @DrCle4n took my challenge and tried to find a better APY. He even squeezed out more yield on the given assumptions (stable mAsset, 60%/40% Short to Long FARM APR). π Fantastic work & kudos to Cle4n! I call his strategy the "SUPER SHORT". :)
He took my proposal to wait two weeks to increase the asset efficiency (DELAY). However, instead of preparing to go long, he focuses entirely on his Short Farm. Thus, he can increase the value of his Anchor deposit and Short Farm.
