1/4 🧵
Why are synthetic assets in #DeFi - brought to us by @synthetix_io @mirror_protocol @UMAprotocol etc. - important and why should we fight to keep them?

🪞 Synths are borderless and can be accessed everywhere despite underlying assets often being regulated regionally.
2/4
🪞 Synths in #DeFi can be owned and traded by everyone leading to better financial inclusion.

🪞 You can access various financial products in one place, leading to better ease of use.

🪞 Many blood-sucking 🧛‍♂️ 🩸 middle-men are cut out > more efficiency, less costs.
3/4
🪞 Synths become programmable and interoperable by being minted and traded on decentralized blockchains like #Ethereum or @terra_money, allowing e.g. to easily lend you synthetic stocks on a #DeFi money market for additional yield.
4/4
🪞 Synthetic assets on a blockchain can be traded 24/7/365 independent of any centralized organization.

🪞 No dependency on a central custodian, custodial risk mitigated.

Do you know more reasons?

@anchor_protocol now supports $bETH as collateral with the help of @LidoFinance, allowing you to borrow $UST to either deposit directly at Anchor for 20% APY or farm on other venues like @mirror_protocol. $LUNA $ETH $ANC

But how you ask? Find a short guide below 🧵👇
1. You need to convert your $ETH to $stETH (staked Ethereum 2.0) either via @LidoFinance at directly stake.lido.fi (staking rewards 5.6% APY will later go to aUST holders)
2. Or you just swap your $ETH for $stETH on @CurveFinance at curve.fi via the respective ETH/stETH pool - slippage currently is low but always check before swapping

In anticipation of Version 2, I wrote a review for @Qi_Capital on @mirror_protocol, diving deeper into its value proposition, solution mechanic, farming opportunities, the $MIR token, and much more. Check it out!

For everyone too lazy to read the article, here a short summary:
Mirror Protocol allows everyone to create and trade synthetic assets  (Mirror Assets or mAssets), which track the price of specific real-world assets like stocks or ETFs - across #Terra, #Ethereum, and #BSC.
3/17
The protocol  -  as well as its native gov token $MIR  -  has seen constant growth since its inception in December 2020, which is reflected in $2.3 billion TVL, a constantly high trading volume, and a market capitalization of $0.5 billion. Dashboard by @Mirror_Market_

🚜 For all new to @mirror_protocol: A thread 🧵 on how to provide liquidity to #mAsset / $UST pools, which currently offer up to 220% APR (which equals 800% APY if compounded daily) 👇

(This guide is for the @terra_money version!)

First things first: What is @mirror_protocol? It's a decentralized derivatives platform running on the @terra_money blockchain and #Ethereum, allowing the creation of fungible assets, “synthetics”, that track the price of real-world assets.
3/13
These assets can be used as building blocks in #DeFi or can be bought directly on @mirror_protocol or the native mobile app @Mirror_Wallet. In recent times this has seen great traction due to the restriction of centralized services such as @RobinhoodApp.

You want to borrow $UST on your $LUNA on @anchor_protocol to utilize it on @mirror_protocol or leverage and earn $ANC rewards on top?

Here is a step-to-step guide for you 👇
2/6
Let's first clarify what you are going to do: you will delegate your unstaked $LUNA (and lock it for at least 21 days as it will get staked) to receive $bLUNA. You then collateralized $bLUNA to borrow $UST for which you pay interest (borrow APY) but get incentivized in $ANC.
3/6
Step 1: You need to have unstaked $LUNA, if you have it staked, you have to unstake it and wait for 21 days. Obviously you can buy it on several CEXs or via terraswap.io e.g. with $UST. (BTW: In the future this will also work with $SOL & $ATOM).

First things first, what is @terra_money? It is a @cosmos-based #blockchain offering programmable money. It features native stablecoins like $UST or $KRT that are backed by $LUNA which has a dynamic supply.
