Kujira is formed by a team of finance, blockchain and software development experts, targeting areas of DeFi which are usually only available for those only with access to bots or large amounts of capital. @cryptoslang1@c0ffeeholicz@deadrightdove@codehans1
2/11 The project has multiple dAPPS like
- BLUE (staking and governance), and
- Beluga (allows sending of tokens to multiple addresses in a single transaction)
However, it is most often associated with Orca, which allows users to participate in liquidations.
3/11 How Orca works
As the crypto space grows, many are using leverage and loaning against their assets to compound their growth.
When these loans exceed a certain percentage and are liquidated, those who participate in these liquidations are rewarded with liquidation fees.
4/11 On the @anchor_protocol, this value is set at 60%, and during wicks down on price, under-collateralized borrowers can get liquidated, and the associated liquidation fee means that their assets are sold at a discount to market rates.
5/11 This process often operates on a “first-come-first-serve” basis, usually by bots with deep liquidity.
Orca allows everyday users to participate in liquidations by selling these liquidated assets from the lowest to highest discount, evenly between everyone.
6/11 Basically, what this means is that:
- Bots cannot jump in front of everyday users in liquidations
- You can participate in liquidations, even without a large amount of capital
- Those liquidated can potentially pay a lower “liquidation fee”
7/11 Overall, this results in a win-win-slightly win situation for all, even those getting liquidated.
For those looking to get their $LUNA or $ETH at a discount to market rates, Orca may just be the protocol for you.
8/11 $KUJI Token
Recently, Kujira released their native token $KUJI in a much-anticipated ICO (Initial Coin Offering).
While the price of $KUJI has tanked since the ICO, its potential remains to be seen, as its use cases are still currently being outweighed by selling pressure.
9/11 Currently, utility of $KUJI involves
- Staking to receive about 260% APR and access to market tracking tools
- Discounts on fees when transacting in the $KUJI token
- Airdropped to users who get liquidated
- Governance
10/11 Though the token has been underperforming relative to the success of KUJIRA, the team plans to make $KUJI pivotal to the eventual ecosystem of dAPPS that they hope to develop, and expand its use cases further.
11/11 Kujira’s Future
Going forward, they plan to bring their dAPPs cross-chain and increase the collateral markets to include cryptocurrencies such as @solana , increasing utility and awareness for both the $KUJI token and the @terra_money ecosystem.
Looking For The Next 10x? Why You Should Consider Investing In An Initial Dex Offering (IDO)
1/10 An #IDO occurs when a project decides to launch their token on a Decentralised Exchange (#DEX), which assists in the fundraising process. IDOs provide three benefits to the projects compared to an Initial Coin Offering (ICOs) and Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs):
2/10
1) Better and immediate liquidity: Allows tokens to openly trade immediately with lower price fluctuations
2)Fairer launch: IDOs allow almost anyone to invest
3)Lower fees and simple solutions: Some DEXs offer services to launch IDOs more efficiently compared to IEOs
The Future Of NFTs: How @RmrkApp Is Taking Non-Fungible Tokens To The Next Level
1/15 RMRK (pronounced Remark), is looking to bridge the NFT usability gap by developing new standards for NFTs that can grant them long-lasting utility. The project was founded by Bruno Skvorc (@bitfalls), a blockchain developer and technical educator at the @Web3foundation.
2/15 Built on the existing @kusamanetwork, RMRK launched a successful funding round via their “Initial Collectible Offering”, raising $2million from limited edition NFTs and a further $4 Million directly from investors.
