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?
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?
/3
I imagine that “safe” portfolio would be made of:
- $aUST
- $LUNA, $SCRT, $ATOM (for the staking APR)
- various LP tokens
… and perhaps some other yield-bearing tokens. Anything that is has somewhat low volatility and provides a cashflow to live off.
/4
I could manage that portfolio myself, but… do I need to?
How about creating a cluster on @nebula_protocol that would contain the above tokens in certain proportions?
I could just sprinkle $UST into it, and just claim rewards every month - a self-paid salary, if you will.
/5
If the cashflow is all I need, the “non-yield-bearing” part of the token is unnecessary. I won’t say “useless”, but simply not needed in this scenario.
@prism_protocol will allow us to remove that part, keeping just the cashflow.
/6
All of that in the spirit of making the best use of your capital.
As I have explained in S01E03, the price of $yLUNA-perp, assuming 10% staking APR should float around 0.59 $LUNA.
Swapping $pLUNA into $yLUNA will give me another 10% * 0.41 / 0.59 = 6.94% APR.
That just turned my $LUNA staking rewards from 10% to almost 17% (+airdrops…).
That was at the cost of price action, but once I make it, I would not need to make it again, right?
/8
Replicate the same for $ATOM, $SCRT, $DOT …
Add some $aUST or $oaUST...
… and you end up with a well-diversified portfolio that is (a) cashflow-heavy, (b) provides a reasonably stable cashflow, (c) still has an upside potential, as staking rewards scale with asset price.
/9
With all of that embedded into @nebula, we get a formula I would be quite willing to use to fund my crypto-retirement.
Or, share that with frens and family outside CT as a way to gain/retain FI with the smart use of crypto.
/10
Please let me know if you enjoyed the episode - I appreciate the feedback and try to improve my game in sharing knowledge in approachable and easy-to-understand way.
/11
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
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
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
[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...
/3
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.
