I have seen a lot of large $LINK stakes come through recently on @Bancor this week. PSA, If you are an LP in another AMM, as the price of $LINK starts to run up against $ETH you will end up with less $LINK and more $ETH (the less valuable TKN)
A short ๐งต๐
2/ The Uni V2 $LINK - $ETH pool is the second largest by depth on Ethereum (~23m ATM). LPs in the past 30 days, are down by ~22%โafter you subtract the loss due to IL from the fees collected.
More recent LPs are down as much as ~50%โผ
3/ It's a similar picture for the $ETH - $LINK pool on sushiswap๐ฃ. LPs that entered a position in the past 30 days are in the red at the moment.
With all the positive chainlink news, I think that $LINK will outperform $ETH this year. This means many ๐for LPs.
4/ If you have an LP position in other AMMs, make sure to check yourself so that you don't get REKT:
There are still ongoing raffles for @IL_wtf_ and you might be selected as a winner for a bailout if you tweet your loss.
5/ If you are single-sided staking $LINK on #Bancor, you get 100% IL protection after 100 days. You don't have to worry about being worse off when $LINK goes up in price๐๐
You will get the full value of your initial deposit plus trading fees on top when withdrawing๐ฐ
6/ How? There are ~147 pools on the network, some incur IL and others don't. IL risk is diversified and profits & losses are shared across all pools.
If premiums > liabilities then IL disappears on average.
9/ More importantly, there have been some large whales ๐ that have recently withdrawn their $LINK LP positions from unprotected AMMs. These LP positions amount to over >$110m at current prices:
An update on #Bancor 3. Where we are now and what's next
๐งต๐
2/ There are plans on releasing the next 150+ pools in the upcoming weeks on #Bancor 3 ๐ข
Even though all pools can be released at once, there is still a bootstrapping process for each pool that requires some manual procedures๐ง
3/ This includes setting the funding rate, setting fees, monitoring for minimum amount of $TKN liquidity to enable trading, setting $BNT / $TKN rates, monitoring pool depth, making sure that trading liquidity is doubling as expected, etcโฆ ๐ค
