1/4 To mark the first week of our launch, we are pleased to announce the $YFI (@iearnfinance) and $CREAM (@CreamdotFinance) Beta Verified Markets are now live. Users are now able to deposit/borrow/short these tokens to earn interest and retro rewards!
2/4 $YFI (@iearnfinance) allows DeFi users to generate yield on their assets effortlessly by handling yield strategies on behalf of the user - a seamless UX, just as we try to achieve with Beta. We are excited to support $YFI as a Beta Verified Market!
3/4 $CREAM (@CreamdotFinance) is a lending protocol that enables users to earn yield on a large number of assets. They've also expanded to NFT-backed loans, issuing the first DAO-to-DAO loan with @PleasrDAO. We are excited to support $CREAM as a Beta Verified Market!
4/4 That wraps up the Beta Verified Market rollout for Phase 1!

Also, we are actively hiring for engineers (full-stack/smart contract) and BD/Marketing. If you are interested please send your resume over to careers@betafinance.org with the role you are applying for.

1/6 Yesterday, we launched the $NFD Risky Market, the first of its kind in DeFi. Our goal is to enable traders to act as countering forces to volatile markets. To help educate traders, we walk through a trade with 23% return in 9 hours, while paying ~0.4% interest. Read on 👇📖 Image
2/6 $NFD is a volatile asset that had a crazy run up (2000%+ in 2 days) in a short period, and draws skepticism of its sustainability. For speculators, Beta facilitates market efficiency by giving high APY to $NFD hodlers, and charging a premium (~1%/day) to short sellers.
3/6 Let’s walk through the figure: Alice shorts $NFD at 6:40 AM @ $0.000924. She is able to short up to the available pool (~$3.2MM at the time) by posting sufficient collateral to maintain the LTV requirements. Let’s say she shorts $25K $NFD using $150K $USDC to be safe.

1/x We were aware that @Cryptopathic is the largest liquidity provider of NFD in both the Uni V3 and Sushi pools. The high concentration on Sushi is a big reason why we included Uni V3 support, which has better liquidity. We spoke with him, and this is our evaluation...
2/x In theory, if @Cryptopathic removes liquidity from Uni V3 completely, price is easier to manipulate as liquidity is less deep. But if trading activity stays active, as it is now, it would be hard to manipulate 30 min TWAP without anyone actively arbing the tokens back...
3/x In our opinion, this risk is more or less similar to @Cryptopathic dumping all $NFD that he owns, ~17% of supply. If he dumps all tokens, all people that long are screwed. By participating in the $NFD market, either longing or shorting, these are risks to be aware of...

(1/6) Token hodlers will be able to earn high yield by lending out their crypto assets on Beta Finance, enabling users to borrow and short these assets. But wait your tokens are getting shorted, so why should you lend them out?
(2/6) Token holders need not fear shorts. Shorts are meant to reduce token volatility making markets stable and efficient. And this efficiency facilitates healthier long-term value accrual of the token. No more catastrophic token dumps!
(3/6) Short sellers pay premium interest rates to lenders and buy back tokens to close positions. Lenders earn higher APYs than on existing money markets with the greater premium and borrow-to-short activity. Lenders earn more tokens without additional trouble, just deposit!

(1/6) Beta Finance enables anyone to create a money market for any token at any time and initiate short positions easily through our 1-click short!

Let’s dive into how users can create money markets and earn high yields on all their crypto assets.
(2/6) Say $ALPHA doesn’t exist, just enter the $ALPHA token address, and our dApp will give you the option to create the new money market. Click the button, and now you can start lending and earning high APY on your $ALPHA tokens!
(3/6) Yes, that’s it, a button click. Completely permissionless and automatic for users. There will only be one lending pool per token, so once it’s created users will be able to perpetually interact with the money market.
