This is just to say that I am embarking on what seems to be a beaten path... only to venture forth a little bit further.
Still, the series would not be complete without a few words of introduction on what the @prism_protocol will allow us to do.
/2
@prism_protocol will let us deposit @terra_money yield-bearing assets and will give us $cAssets as a deposit confirmation.
Next, it will allow us to refract (split) a $cAsset into:
- yield-bearing part = yield token (YT)
- principal part = principal token (PT)
/3
Example:
1. Deposit $LUNA into @prism_protocol 2. Get $cLUNA as deposit confirmation 3. Refract $cLUNA into $yLUNA and $pLUNA
$yLUNA = entitlement to all staking rewards and airdrops
$pLUNA = exposure to price action (changes) of $LUNA
/4
@prism_protocol will allow us to do various things with $yLUNA and $pLUNA, including:
- Stake $yLUNA to get the staking rewards and airdrops
- Stake $pLUNA to exercise voting rights
- Provide $pLUNA or $yLUNA as collateral to borrow against
- Use $pLUNA or $yLUNA in LP mining
/5
Above are just some rudimentary use cases - further exploration commencing in S01E05 and S01E06.
Small reminder - with PRISM we will be able to split $LUNA into $pLUNA and $yLUNA. Those 2 tokens will last forever, i.e. $yLUNA will entitle you to $LUNA staking rewards until end of times.
Let's try to a price on $yLUNA!
/1
Present value (PV) of $yLUNA is equal to PV of all $LUNA staking rewards and airdrops to $LUNA stakers.
Quick check in Terra Station and we know that staking LUNA gives us 3.19% APR right now.
