1./ Today I saw some people talking about @staderlabs and how their APR is calculated.
I think it's a great protocol and it might be good to talk about them once again. I will dive into their APR, mechanics and the benefits for everyone who is staking $LUNA!
A thread ๐งต
2./ @staderlabs basically is a $LUNA staking platform. Take your $LUNA, stake it at @staderlabs and you don't have to worry about anything. They make a validator selection and take care of the auto-compounding.
3./ @staderlabs currently has three validator options;
- Blue chip, which are the highest performing validators;
- Community, the validators that contributes most to the community;
- Airdrop plus, validators providing their protocol's tokens.
You can choose between those three
4./ And auto-compounding? Do I have to? No. You can choose to either auto-compound or to retain your rewards.
The reason those strategies are inactive is that the community farming event is going on which means that your rewards are being converted to cheap $SD tokens
Two reasons: 1. Auto-compounding 2. Reduced gas fees
Let's start with the first
6./ When staking $LUNA you receive a lot of different rewards. You receive #Airdrops and #Stablecoins. Did you know that the stable rewards count for almost 40% of your rewards?
7./ Once you select the auto-compounding option those stables and airdrops will be converted into $LUNA which will from that moment on also start earning rewards. So you have more $LUNA working for you.
8./ Next, the gas fees. As @staderlabs calculated and posted in today's article, you pay around 182 $UST on fees only if you'd auto-compound your rewards daily yourself. By making @staderlabs take care of this, you save those fees. This is achieved because of economies of scale.
9./ But I think one of the most important things to clarify about today's discussion:
The APR on @staderlabs is calculated based on real values based on staking rewards and #Airdrops
10./ Than there is one more thing left; $LUNAx
$LUNAx is the liquid derivative of staked $LUNA. You want t know more about it? Check my thread about it from yesterday:
1./ At the moment we have $LUNA, $bLUNA, $LUNAx and $nLUNA. $yLUNA and $pLUNA are coming. What are all those different types of $LUNA?
Let's dive into the greatest asset ever existed, $LUNA!
A thread ๐งต
2./ $LUNA is the token we all fell in love with. To mint $UST the equivalent dollar amount of $LUNA have to be burned. The more $UST is minted, the less $LUNA is circulating so the more value one $LUNA has.
3./ $LUNA is the basic version of the token, this is the token that's available on exchanges like @binance and @kucoincom. To get access to all those different types of $LUNA you need to send your $LUNA from the exchanges to a #Terrastation wallet.
1./ As you all know I love good tokenomics. Let's have a look at @Minerva_NFT. What is it? Why does their token hold value? Does it have potential?
Let's go! A thread ๐งต
2./ @Minerva_NFT is a DAO which will bring appreciating wine investments to users directly on the Terra blockchain.
This means you can invest in wine by using the blockchain. Those investments are minted as ADOs, an improved version of NFTs made by @AndromedaProt
3./ Although @Minerva_NFT is initially a platform for investing in wine, they are already looking to expand to more real-world-assets. Looking at this tweet things like watches, whiskey, trading cards and fashion are also things they're looking at.
1./ The reason I fell in love with $LUNA is because of its magnificent value capture. Although $LUNA will always be my number one, $RUNE is definitely a token with a great value capture too.
What is @THORChain, what is $RUNE and why does it have potential?
2./ @THORChain is a cross-chain liquidity protocol. The DEX built on #Thorchain is @THORSwap. #THORswap allows users to directly swap native assets on different blockchains with only one click. So no wrapped or pegged assets. Why is this important?
3./ Usually if you want to convert $BTC to $ETH you have to exchange your $BTC to $xBTC (the ERC-20 standard) and than to $ETH. Two transactions, so two times transaction fees.
1./ #Terra outperformed the whole market the past days, yet there is still a thing missing: #Games. But no worries, we don't have to wait long anymore.
2./ @TerraFloki is building a play-to-earn game, I'm bullish and I think it's time to tell something about it.
So, the FlokiVerse! What? FlokiVerse? Yes, the FlokiVerse. That's what the gaming environment of @TerraFloki is called.
3./ You can enter it by having a @TerraFloki NFT in your wallet. Every time you want to enter the Flokiverse you'll be asked to connect with your wallet and once you have a NFT in it, you can enter.
In the Flokiverse, your avatar looks exactly the same as your NFT!
Let me explain to you why they use it, how it works and how you can be prepared for their token launch. ๐งต
2./ We have seen quite a few token launches on the Terra network now and unfortunately, many of them were not perfect. Two major problems have been noticed by @WhiteWhaleTerra:
3./ The first one is too low liquidity which causes a huge price pump at the launch. Nice for the insiders but if you want to have a satisfied community this is not the way to go. The second problem is bots sniping all the liquidity which causes the same issue.
2./ $LUNAx is basically a liquid version of your staked $LUNA. Once you stake your $LUNA, $LUNAx can be minted. So your $LUNA is now staked and you have a new token in your wallet, $LUNAx. Sounds familiar? It's almost the same as the $UST - $aUST mechanism.
3./ Because your $LUNA is staked, you will still receive every #airdrop. $VKR, $MIR, $ANC, $MINE and so on. Not one of them you'll mis.
