1/ @ArweaveTeam has grown tremendously in the past few months.
On 10/16, the Blockweave – a blockchain-like structure designed to enable scalable, efficient on-chain storage – reached 20TB of data stored on the permaweb.
The first 10TB took 1,139 days, the second took only 87.
2/ The catalysts of @ArweaveTeam's exponential growth can be narrowed down to three categories:
+ inexpensive NFT on-chain storage
+ Web3 dApps: social media, music and movie streaming, etc.
+ blockchain storage for layer-1 smart contract platforms
3/ @ArweaveTeam's app ecosystem revenue has grown exponentially in the past few months.
According to the @web3index, Arweave has generated the highest network-usage Q3 revenue than any other protocol within the Web3 Index - 5x that of @Filecoin in September and 8x in October.
Each product provides unique value to the yield aggregator, however the new V2 Vaults have provided the most value in recent months - $3.6B (68%) of the total $5.4B TVL accumulated.
2/ Looking at the first phase of V2 growth from March to June, both deposits of stablecoins and volatile assets increased significantly.
However, the second period of growth is noticeably different. Stablecoin counts in vaults actually declined from mid-September to mid-October.
3/ $1.5B (57%) of TVL in the top seven V2 Vaults come from 18 partner protocol integrations.
@AlchemixFi is the largest depositor contributing nearly $600M across yvDAI & yvWETH vaults.
@SushiSwap's BentoBox is the second-largest protocol contributor with over $583M deposited.
1/ Today’s DeFi ecosystem faces an infrastructure risk with the base problem of liquidity - an issue that takes time away from protocol development.
@TokenReactor's model looks to solve this by establishing critical liquidity infrastructure in the form of Liquidity-as-a-Service.
2/ @TokenReactor is designed as a disaggregated market maker.
In Tokemak’s model, the protocol acts as the technology component with capital and market expertise being sourced from third-parties referred to as Liquidity Providers (LPs), Liquidity Directors (LDs), and Pricers.
3/ @TokenReactor's roadmap began in the summer of 2021 with the initiation of Cycle Zero.
Considered the pre-launch cycle, Cycle Zero consisted of three stages:
+ The DeGenesis Event
+ Genesis Pools
+ The C.o.R.E.
@RyanWatkins_@rleshner@twobitidiot 2/ "When I look at governance changes that the community implemented, so much happened this quarter - reducing the gas costs of claiming $COMP, adding new supported assets, proposal 62, and much more."
1/ @Barn_Bridge is a cross-chain risk management protocol founded in 2019.
It provides composable solutions for investors to hedge against interest rate fluctuations and price volatility.
Their latest product, launched September 2021, is called SMART Alpha.
2/ SMART Alpha allows investors to calibrate exposure by choosing a Jr/Sr position in an aggregated pool.
The senior side is better protected when the underlying asset dips but in turn loses out on gains; the opposite applies for jr. users who take leverage on price volatility.
3/ Every asset pool runs on an epoch-based timeline. The default period advances weekly on Mondays at 14:00 UTC.
Protocol revenue is earned through a fee taken at the end of each epoch, which currently stands at .5% of a given week’s profits and applies to the winning side only.
