@prism_protocol - strategies 101
S02E01 - @pylon_protocol capital efficiency

Yay! We made it to the 2nd seasons!

Pretty much all of the episodes will be focused on various partnerships Prism Protocol can get into to bring value to #LUNAtics.

Buckle up!

/1
How the pools on @pylon_protocol work:
(1) You deposit $UST
(2) Pylon deposits $UST to @anchor_protocol
(3) Yield is redirected to: $MINE buybacks (10%), dev team (90%)

/2
(4) Dev team supplies their token into the pool
(5) Pool distributes tokens at a stead rate per minute
(6) You can collect your tokens as defined in the pool (that might vary)
(7) You get your $UST back once the pool reaches maturity (6/12/18 months / whatever)

/3
Ad. (1) Imagine all the things you could do with your $UST when it wasn't locked up in the pool.

19.5% with ⚓️
30-40% with delta-neutral farming
10-40x with a good IDO ( $PSI anyone?)
Farm $APOLLO at the last 2 weeks of CFE?
...

Is the price you pay = lost opportunity.

/4
Ad. (7) That's the moment when "missed opportunity" window closes. You get your $UST back, you do your thing with it.

But... does it have to be that way? I mean: it's only the yield on $UST / $aUST that the dev team and @pylon_protocol need after all...

/5
Enter: fixed-term refraction of $aUST.

Instead of putting $UST into the 12m-pool, just refract $aUST into $yaUST-12m and $paUST-12m.

$yaUST-12m reflects 12 months of⚓️ yield on your UST -> only that is used by the pools on @pylon_protocol.

You can keep your $paUST-12m!

/6
You can sell your $paUST-12m and get some $UST back.

You can wait 12 months - by that time all yield from $yaUST-12m was paid out and it's value is $0.00.

That means:

$paUST-12m becomes $aUST

(Well, you will still have to swap 1:1).
/7
Alternative: buy some $yaUST on the market. Pay a fixed price to get into the pool without having to remember to collect your unlocked $UST (after 12-18 months, one might need a really good memory)...

/8
But ser, does buying $yaUST really makes any sense?

If you've read my previous 🧵on fixed-term refractions of $aUST (link below), you might have noticed the pricing of $yaUST in various fixed-term variants.



/9
A reminder for the 3 most popular pool durations:

- $yaUST-18m = 0.302 $UST
- $yaUST-12m = 0.184 $UST
- $yaUST-6m = 0.096 $UST

Instead of locking 1 $UST for 6m/12m/18m, you can pay 0.096 / 0.184 / 0.302 $UST to buy $yaUST-6/12/18m and swap it for a stream of new tokens.

/10
Enter the pool at 9.6% / 18.4% / 30.2% of the original price.

Yes, you won't get that $yaUST back - that's for sure. You keep the vast majority of your money in your pocket though, decreasing the cost of lost opportunity.

I.e. you can do stuff with that $UST!

/11
I hope you enjoyed the read!

Quick thread on "Crypto never sleeps".

🧵👇

/1
We tend to fall into a certain thinking pattern(s):

(1) Crypto never sleeps
(2) I need to be connected 24/7
(3) Staying on top of all the developments is a must
(4) I want/have_to know about every project there is

/2
While (1) is certainly true, (2)-(4) not so much.

Just think about it - there are hundreds of project launching just on @terra_money, similar on other chains: @harmonyprotocol, @avalancheavax, @FantomFDN, @kadena_io,...

There is no way anyone can cover such breadth alone.

@prism_protocol - strategies 101
S02E02 - Yield cluster at @nebula_protocol

Today we will look at possible partnership between Nebula Protocol and Prism Protocol, that would provide a pretty decent option for a passive income.

/1
We all hope WAGMI. We write it on CT, we encourage one another as fellow #LUNAtics - and for good reasons. The spirit of community thrives.

But ser, what are we gonna do, once we finally make it?

@nebula_protocol and @prism_protocol might help with it.

/2
Not sure about you, but once I make it, I will move a significant portion of my portfolio to a ‘safe haven’ - @anchor_protocol-Earn-like where I can enjoy 20-30% APR, which would allow me and my family not to worry about 💰 anymore.

What would that look like?

S01 - Extra #1 - fixed-term refraction

$yLUNA and $pLUNA were the stars of season 1 so far. Let's change that, as we will need more... much more for season 2.

Starting with: (fixed)-term refraction.

/1
$yLUNA and $pLUNA are so-colled perpetuals: $yLUNA represents all the yield going until perpetuity (=end of all time).

This doesn't need to be the case. People don't live that long anyway, right?

@prism_protocol will allow for shorter terms as well, e.g. 3/6/9/12 months.

/2
Let's take a look at 3 months version of refracted $LUNA and call it $yLUNA-3m and $pLUNA-3m for the time being.

$yLUNA-3m = all staking rewards and airdrops (SRaA) in the next 3 months
$pLUNA-3m = $LUNA price action in the next 3 months

S01E06 - What can I do with $pLUNA?

Today I will explain some uses of $pLUNA - some of them combined with $yLUNA, still simple.
Crazy stuff in S02. 🤫

Similarly to $pLUNA, most of below is based on PRISM Protocol litepaper:
prismfinance.app/PRISM-litepape…

/1 ImageImage
[1] Stake $pLUNA in @prism_protocol and exercise your voting rights.

Even after splitting $LUNA, you will retain the ability to vote in Terra Station through PRISM as a proxy - have a vote in each of the polls.

Maybe not-so-exciting, but oh-so-important for the ecosystem.

/2
[2] Lend out your $pLUNA

So you're already staking your $yLUNA with Prism and getting staking rewards, airdrops and $PRISM incentives... and it's still not enough for you?

Well, just lend your $pLUNA out on a money-market protocol, e.g. with @mars_protocol.

Extra APR!

S01E05 - What can I do with yLUNA?

Today, we will look into some (rudimentary) use cases and strategies using $yLUNA.

$pLUNA might sneak here or there, but in general, I will leave its story until the next episode.

/1
Almost entirety of what you'll read in a moment is based on PRISM Protocol litepaper, available here:
prismfinance.app/PRISM-litepape…

In particular, on 2 pictures below.

/2 ImageImage
[1] Stake your $yLUNA with @prism_protocol - this way you will keep all staking rewards *and* airdrops to $LUNA stakers, with no slashing risk and no unstaking period.

Pretty darn cool, if you ask me. No more 21 days of wait to undelegate your $LUNA and use it elsewhere...

S01E04 - pLUNA-perp pricing

Now that we have tools to price $yLUNA, we can shift the focus to $pLUNA.

As I will try to explain pricing them both tandem will be a bit like chess - easy to learn, hard to master.

/1
The foundation for our pricing will be these 2 simple rules. You can always:
1) Split 1 $cLUNA (=1 $LUNA) into 1 $pLUNa and 1 $yLUNA
2) Provide 1 $pLUNa and 1 $yLUNA back to @prism_protocol and get 1 $cLUNA (= $LUNA) back.

In other words:

$LUNA <=> $pLUNA + $yLUNA

/2
With this, the formula for $pLUNA boils down to:

$pLUNA = $LUNA - $yLUNA

Simple, right? Well, only on the surface, unfortunately.
