Listening to the recording of @WhiteWhaleTerra community update from yesterday - thanks to awesome @terraspacesorg recordooors.

Here are a few thoughts.

πŸ§΅β¬‡οΈ
/1
Regular update calls (weekly/bi-weekly - TBD) are planned to stay in touch with the community.

Sebastian clearly mentioned they want start it right with us and I applaud him for both the stance and steps taken so far. πŸ‘

/2
@WhiteWhaleTerra got $26m out of the LBP, $20m out of which went into protocol-owned $WHALE - $UST LP.

No incentives will be provided to LP - none are needed!

Result: no sell pressure as we have seen on $VKR, $TWD or $PSI.

BTW You can still do LP to get the trading fees.

/3
Launch on @StarTerra_io and genesis airdrop are being reconsidered.

The team is under impression that initial appetite for $WHALE has been met and putting more of it could create a unnecessary supply.

I can’t blame them - IDO after price discovery feels weird.

/4
I love the analyzing stuff.

My first Medium article is about Terra token launches where I touch on β€œIDO vs price discovery” as well.

Give it a read if you’re interested!

/5
If I were a decision-maker, right now I would keep both the IDO and the airdrop - for different reasons.

There is a part of community staking $STT which might have not participated in the LBP exactly because of the already announced launch of $WHALE on @StarTerra_io.

/6
Cancelling the IDO would mean leaving them out cold - not a fun move.

Selling at a somewhat below-market price is something that likely everyone expected, including LBP participants, so there should be no problem here, right?

/7
Plus, @pylon_protocol is selling $WHALE at very low prices still.

Check out my thread on that!

/8
About the airdrop - it seems we will be able to stake $WHALE and get $xWHALE and then lock it to get $vxWHALE.

(Sounds similar to that $ASTRO thing)

@WhiteWhaleTerra would like to distribute $WHALE airdrop to long-term holders, if at all.

I have an idea on how to do it.

/9
Why not distribute make it into a lockdrop?

One would need to stake and lock $WHALE to get extra $WHALE airdrop - the more/longer you lock, the more you get.

Adding a cliff and vesting on top (e.g. 3m cliff + 9m vesting) should discourage the airdrop dumpers quite a bit.

/10
With audit on its way, there is hope that the arb vaults will be launched in mid- to late January.

That’s good - the community should not need to wait too long as weird thoughts might start appearing in our heads (like: sell and buy that new thing).

/11
Gov staking will be enable pretty soon after the audit, with rewards paid out in $WHALE (freshly minted).

To avoid diluting the supply, gov staking APR will be a little lower than the APR of the protocol treasury.

/12
Treasury will grow faster than the total supply = floor price go up.

So far, pretty well-designed.

/12
I quite like how things will be structured around the vaults.

Each vault will be dedicated to a token (e.g. $UST or $LUNA) and leverage multiple arb strategies. In absence of arb opportunities capital will be earning passive income, e.g. Anchor Earn for $UST.

/13
$UST from the @WhiteWhaleTerra treasury will be deployed to the $UST vault.

(Educated guess follows)

As time goes by, I expect more assets to be included in the treasury and deposited to the vaults, building price floor for the $WHALE intrinsically.

/14-end

Things no one told you about the @astroport_fi lockdrop yet.

There are already a few community-built tools that help you assess the potential of locking into a particular LP - a few links below:

New token launches on @terra_money - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

My write-up on what went well and what didn't with ideas to try and things to avoid.

medium.com/@agilepatryk/h…

TL;DR πŸ‘‡

/1
Any launch has 3 somewhat separate phases:
1) Early financing
2) Price discovery
3) Listing

/2
1) Early financing

Things to try:
* Public sale with a number of channels
* Including a public sale channel without KYC
* Building a warchest / treasury
* Long vesting period for the public sale, even longer for team/VCs

@WhiteWhaleTerra LBP analysis - continued.

If you want to know the outlook for the price of $WHALE between now and end of LBP - read on.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
/1
First, let's take a look at where we are right now, which is around $0.182:
tradingview.com/x/1qUwNWzT

Coincidentally, we've been at ~$0.18 24h ago and went into very slow and steady buying (no aping) in the following 13h.

/2
In best-case scenario, with similar steady buying, at the end of LBP window we might arrive at $0.14.

You won't see $WHALE any cheaper than that, not in this LBP.

This means, the bottom of $0.13 is already in - that was the best moment to buy *and* it won't happen again.

@WhiteWhaleTerra has launched LBP sale of their $WHALE token.

You are probably wondering, what is a good price to buy.

May I help with that?

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

/1
LBP is not exactly the only place to get your hands on the $WHALE token - there is another one!

That place is @pylon_protocol Gateway:
gateway.pylon.money/tokens/whale

There are 3 pools available - 6M, 12M and 18M.

Let's take a closer look at them.

/2
Total $WHALE available in the pools and total $UST deposits are:

18M - 32.5M $WHALE - 5.0M $UST
12M - 12.5M $WHALE - 5.5M $UST
6M - 5.0M $WHALE - 6.75M $UST

Based on that - and assuming Anchor Earn as the opportunity cost - we can calculate the price of $WHALE in Pylon.

@prism_protocol - strategies 101
S02E05 - LP refraction

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

/1
Let's make it simple - LP tokens are just like any other yield-bearing token and refracting those is on the roadmap for the Prism Protocol.

Why would I want to refract them at all? I am glad you asked!

/2
I can think of a few reasons we do LP:

(1) High yield / incentives
(2) We are bullish on a couple of tokens and want higher APR than single-asset staking
(3) Continuous cashflow
(4) Farming event ($APOLLO, $HALO, etc.)

There's possibly some more, but that's not the point

Hi @StarTerra_io!

I did some math around @play_nity allocations and arrived at a different result than yours. 🀨

Could you lend me a hand, please? In absence of clear guidance it is difficult to prepare a tool to estimate future allocation.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡

/1
I have joined the IDO as a member of #LUNAtics faction.

Lunatics ranked 2nd. In previous IDOs that meant 30% of gamified pool would go to Lunatics - I assume that's true for $PLY as well, though the article did not mention that explicitly.

/2
That would mean total allocation to Lunatics faction is:

15% (standard) + 15% * 30% (gamified) = 19.5%

With total raise of 420k UST, 19.5% translates to 81.9k UST total allocation.
