You might be wondering:

“How the hell did that LP <buy> LUNA at $60 when the price dropped from $72 to $69 over 1 day?”

Stop wondering and read on!

/1
For the sake of simplicity, I will analyse just 1 LP position (feel free to do the math for the other one as a homework).

9 Jan 2022:
164,459.5563 $UST
2,259.406722 $LUNA
LUNA @ $72.78

10 Jan 2022:
161,449.31 $UST
2,309.66009 $LUNA
LUNA @ $69.90

/2
Differences:
50.253372 $LUNA more
3,010.2465 $UST less
= $LUNA “purchased” at an average price of $59.90

Your math checks out, @Shigeo808. ;-)

But how is that possible when the price never went below $65 in the last 24 hours?

/3
(Very rough calculation follows - I know and I apologise)

Average of $72.78 and $69.90 = $71.35

50.25 $LUNA @ $71.35 = $3585

That’s around $575 more than 3010 $UST “spent”.

Seems significant, but…

/4
That’s a gain of $575 over 1 day at an LP position worth $328,919.

That’s 0.1748% gained in a day.

0.1748% x 365 = 63.81% APR

That is close enough to LUNA-UST LP APR for me to believe, that the discount came from accumulation of trading fees.

After my guest appearance at @Shigeo808's Twitter space, one of you has asked me:

"How do I use LP IL to my advantage on downswing?"

Well, here is how.

/1
You have 100 $LUNA and will follow @Shigeo808’s strategy. You:

1) Provide 100 $bLUNA as collateral to Anchor (1 LUNA=$70 currently), =$7000 of collateral

2) You take a loan at 25% LTV and get $7000 x 25% = 1750 UST. You swap them to 25 LUNA immediately

/2
3) You increase your LTV to 45% and get another 20% x $7000 = 1400 $UST.
4) You pair 20 $LUNA and 1400 $UST (each is worth $1400) into $LUNA - $UST LP and keep 5 $LUNA in your wallet.

Your total borrowed amount is $1750 + $1400 = $3150 right now.

A graphical way to look at the Impermanent Loss (IL) when you provide liquidity.

📈🔍🧐

/1
This will be done for an imaginary token $FOO.

Assumptions:
(1) $FOO price = $1
(2) Liquidity is provided to $FOO - $UST pair

/2
Let's imagine you have 1000 $UST to invest and you *can* invest it in $FOO.

One way to go about it is... not to invest and keep $UST.

The value of your position would not change at all, ignoring price action (PA) of $FOO would look like this:

Am I hyped about Astroport?
Yes.

Was the message below shared in a timely fashion?
I wouldn’t say so.

Read on if you’d like to know why.
/1
Liquidity has already been migrated from TerraSwap, but… @astroport_fi has not launched their UI yet.

So either you:
➡️ Use TerraSwap - with lower TVL / higher slippage now
OR
➡️ Trade on @coinhall_org - that requires explicitly selecting the pair with Astroport logo

/2
I guess you can interact with the smart contract directly too, but how many of us, #LUNAtics, can actually do that?

That migration and UI launch should have happened one right after another. Like:
- migrate
- smoke test
- launch UI
Within minutes, not hours

I have written a thread on pricing $yLUNA - it might be a bit difficult to follow, unless you love math.

Below a simple formula anyone can calculate.

/1
The only assumption:

Anchor rate is considered risk-free and equal to roughly 20% APY.

/2
With that assumption:

$yLUNA = 5 x LUNA_staking_APY
$pLUNA = 1 - $yLUNA

both expressed in $LUNA terms.

Example below.

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

Here are a few thoughts.

🧵⬇️
/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. 👏

/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.

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:
