~41% APY strategy for #stablecoins on $MATIC (Polygon) network by providing Liquidity between $MAI - $DAI pair.

Here are the steps, pros and risks πŸ‘‡ Image
1/

There are many options for high APY stable yields here (see screenshot)

Steps for $DAI - $MAI LP:

1. Swap 50% of capital for $DAI on @QuickswapDEX

2. Swap other 50% for $MAI

3. Provide liquidity for $DAI - $MAI pair

4. Deposit LP tokens to @beefyfinance (Polygon)

πŸ€‘
2/

Pros:

- Stablecoin yield means no impermanent loss

- 44% is a very good yield for stablecoins

- No leverage strategy: There are leveraged strategies with higher APY, but leverage = more risk
3/

πŸ’€ Risks:

- De-peg risk: $MAI in particular is a newer stablecoin, and more volatile than the more established ones. (Market Cap is only ~80M)

4/

- Smart contract risk: A bug in $DAI, $MAI, QuickSwap or Beefy contracts could lead to loss of funds. πŸ΄β€β˜ οΈ

5/

- Autocompounders add another layer of risk. ☠️

6/

Also, pool sizes are pretty small, so these APYs won't last forever.

Here's a leveraged LP strategy I wrote about last week with ~60% APR if you want even more returns (with more risk): πŸ’Έ

What if I told you that you - yes, you - could go and borrow $1M right now?

No KYC, no name, email or phone number.

And you don't even need collateral.

Yes, of course there’s a catch.

This #DeFi instrument is called a Flash Loan - so how does it work? ⚑️ 🧢 πŸ‘‡ Image
1/ A flash loan allows you to borrow money (up to very large amounts) without any collateral

The catch is that you have to return the money in the very same transaction.

Confused? πŸ€” Keep reading…
2/ Here’s how a standard database (web2) transaction works. Let’s say @jack is sending $100 to @elonmusk through a regular bank transfer.

2 things must happen when the money is sent. The bank must update:

1. +$100 for Elon πŸ€‘

2. -$100 for Jack 😒

#1 cannot happen without #2.

Bullish on $LUNA? Want more $LUNA?

Here is a mega-🧡 of all the ways I have found to get more LUNA πŸŒ–

The strategies here include:
β€’ staking (simple, enhanced)
β€’ buying LUNA for cheap
β€’ LP farming
β€’ arbitrage
β€’ leverage
β€’ covered calls

Let's get some more moon tokens! πŸ€‘
1/

The APR / APY in these strategies fluctuates all the time, so you'll have to monitor them to see what the current yields are.

Some are passive, some are active, some require locking tokens for a little bit, others are more liquid.

You asked for a thread on 62% on stablecoins using leveraged LP farming with @TarotFinance...

Well, it's at 75% at the time of writing, for the same amount of leverage! πŸ€‘

Here's how you can use a leveraged LP strategy πŸ‘‡ πŸ‘»
1/

First things first - make sure you understand how leverage works.

See this thread.

Btw, the graphic has a mistake in it on the risk side -- sorry about that! 😬

I uploaded the correct one in the comments!

TL;DR - Leverage is a financial tool to amplify your returns while taking on more risk..

It isn't clear to everyone why #DeFi is better than TradFi.

Sure, bringing financial services to #crypto is cool - but why is it better?

In this thread, I'm going to explore the benefits of trading stocks using @mirror_protocol to illustrate the power of #DeFi πŸͺž 🧢 πŸ‘‡
1/ Mirror Protocol (@mirror_protocol) allows you to trade stocks the same way you trade cryptocurrencies in #DeFi πŸͺž

You can

– Buy / sell synthetic stocks (called "mirrored" assets) on a DEX.

– Farm them for yield (long or short) just like with any other tokens. πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ
2/ Now why anyone would want to do that instead of just buying stonks on @RobinhoodApp?

It's easy to understand why 19% interest in @anchor_protocol is better than 0.5% in a TradFi savings account.

But why #DeFi stocks over TradFi stocks?

Here are some reasons πŸ‘‡

Leverage is a concept in finance that relies on using borrowed funds to increase returns (and risk).

It's an incredibly powerful, (yet dangerous) tool that I think newcomers to the space don't understand too well.

Here’s a thread (and graphic) that explains it πŸ‘‡ 🧢
1/ Consider the following example:

You start with $100 and buy $BTC.

BTC does a 2x, and you now have $200.

Profit = $100
ROI = 100% (Profit / initial investment)

No leverage being used here.
2/ Now suppose you borrow an extra $50 from the bank at 10% interest.

You now have $150 that you use to buy BTC.

BTC does a 2x, and you now have $300.

After returning the borrowed $55 ($50 principle + $5 interest) to the bank, you have $245.

Profit = $145
ROI = 145% πŸ€‘
