3/ πŸ”€ Mint & Redeem

➑️ Anyone can use $USDC to **mint** any pair of LONG and SHORT Strike Tokens.
➑️ Anyone can use any pair of LONG and SHORT Strike Tokens to **redeem** the underlying $USDC back.

✨ #AlphaX is **fully collateralized**.
4/ πŸ“ Price pegging

➑️ LONG Strike Tokens $ETH-X should be pegged to ETH price minus the strike price X.
➑️ SHORT Strike Tokens $Y-ETH should be pegged to strike price Y minus ETH price.

1/ We @AlphaFinanceLab has just launched our new product #AlphaX on @avalancheavax network πŸ’ͺ.

x.alphafinance.io

With the new concept, here's a 🧡 on how #AlphaX actually works πŸ‘‡
2/ Key components:

1️⃣ LONG & SHORT Strike Tokens
2️⃣ Mint & Redeem
3️⃣ Liquidation
4️⃣ Oracle price
5️⃣ Price peg
6️⃣ Arbitraging
3/ 1️⃣ LONG & SHORT Strike Tokens

LONG Strike Token is like **AVAX-55**

The #StrikeToken price should be pegged to ( $AVAX price - $55).

βœ… As simple as that.

πŸ“’ Introducing #AlphaBuyWall (ABW), a smart contract that allows anyone to bid for NFT, and provides a ⌊price floorβŒ‹ for NFT.

2/ Why sell on ABW?

As NFT holder, selling your favorite avatar is a PAIN with existing tools. You will have to set sell price and wait for buyers.

Worst case = you wait for weeks and keep being frontrunned by other sellers. 😒

On ABW you sell via smart contract at any time.
3/ Why buy on ABW?

Currently to get a hold of trending NFTs, you'll need to keep refreshing the browser until someone decides to sell their bag. If the price is cheap enough then you scoop it up.

NGMI πŸ˜”

ABW is a faster and cheaper way to bid for your favorite NFT collections

🚨 Smart Contract Bug found in Pancake V2 🚨

πŸ›: Pancake new router is incompatible with Pancake LP implementation.

Users may get __revert__ txs upon __swaps__ due to the bug.

Vulnerability was reported to @PancakeSwap team asap.

Thread below πŸ‘‡
2/ After @PancakeSwap V2 announcement, we have been working on supporting the new V2 pools.

βœ… As with our security standard, we always perform smart contract review and testing, to ensure our users’ safety.

❗️ We have found and informed the @PancakeSwap team on the issue.
3/ πŸ› So, what is the actual bug?

The question comes down to: what changes from Pancake V1 to V2?

1️⃣ Swap fees: 0.2% ➑️ 0.25%
2️⃣ Fee distribution to LPs, to dev address

Below are the router __getAmountOut__ implementations (V1 & V2). The difference lies in the numbers. ImageImage

1/ πŸ“– Just read @Uniswap v3 whitepaper πŸ¦„ and wanted to share some thoughts.

πŸ‘€ There are some pretty neat tricks in the paper that we @AlphaFinanceLab also use. πŸ‘€

Thread below πŸ‘‡
2/ Overall, πŸ¦„ V3 is a huge upgrade from and much more complex than V2. V3 introduces:

πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» User Flexibility: Users can supply within a specified price range.
πŸ’» Protocol Flexibility: Configurable swap fee & governance fee
πŸ’‘ Features: Built-in TWAP & liquidity oracle
3/ The most interesting feature is that users can supply liquidity to any desired price range, which then enables the __Concentrated Liquidity__ feature, as advertised.

πŸ€” This is a challenge in terms of technical implementation, since gas limits may explode if done naively.

🚨 1/ The recent @warpfinance hack is the result of using vulnerable @UniswapProtocol πŸ¦„ LP token prices.

The attacker was able to drain ~$7.8M worth of $DAI for smaller collateral.

#AlphaHomoraV2 uses a different LP pricing method that is safe against such attack vector. πŸ‘‡
2/ The LP token pricing used is prone to the typical flash loan sandwich attack vector:

➑️ Flash loan and skew reserves
➑️ Fake LP price
➑️ Repay flash loan
➑️ Profit

So, how do we price an LP token in an unmanipulatable way?

Answer: **FAIR LP PRICING**
3/ What makes the **FAIR LP PRICE** safe from attacks?

There are two major components to the fair LP price that make the price safe:

β‘  Fair Asset Prices
β‘‘ Fair Asset Reserves

1/ Last week, there has been a number of flash loan-related scenarios (and potential scenarios): @harvest_finance, @MakerDAO, @iearnfinance.

So, here’s a short thread on flash loans. πŸ‘‡
2/ Flash loan lets anyone borrow a very large amount of assets (as long as the amount + fee are paid back in the same transaction), which can be used to temporarily skew asset prices or balances.
3/ A typical flash loan attack pattern is a form of sandwich attack:
(1) Skew price/balance
(2) Main protocol uses the skewed price/balance (e.g. to open a position, deposit into AMM all at bad prices)
(3) Un-skew price/balance
