A MEGA Thread on #Syscoin

A solution to the "blockchain trilemma" using novel methods.

We will be exploring the underlying technology, tokenomics and roadmap to help you understand $SYS better,

/THREAD 🧵
1. What is #Syscoin?

Put simply, it is a decentralized blockchain network that solves the blockchain trilemma via a four-layer stack.

We will explore this later, but firstly lets look understand what problems $Sys aims to solve.
2. Syscoin' Network Enhanced Virtual Machine (NEVM)

NEVM allows developers to deploy complex products and utilise the ecosystem without any financial constraints.

All while being scalable, secure and interoperable.
3. Tech...but in brief

A tech stack is the collection of technologies an organization utilizes to build an application.

In Syscoin's 4 layers, it is the host layer.

Bitcoin is used as the consensus method providing a secure foundation.
4. More on Tech...

An EVM layer is being used as the operating layer as Ethereum is widely adopted and stands the test of time.

The third layer is a software development kit layer allowing Zero Knowledge Proofs.

The last layer consists of an application layer (ZKP in buisness)
5. #BTC as a consensus method

Via a merged mining mechanism. Miners can mine two cryptos in parallel without sacrificing performance.

Computational power mines blocks on multiple chains with the same algorithm.

Security by Proof of Work.

The hash rate is over 30 EH/s which...
6. #BTC as a consensus method (part 2)

Is approximately 20% of the total Bitcoin hash rate.

A higher hash rate, indicates how healthy the network is at any given time, and is driven primarily by difficulty mining and the number of miners.

A good thing, to say the least.
7. UTXO Model

For all my tech entrepeneurs out there,

The Syscoin asset model is built on top of the Bitcoin UTXO model.

If there are significant innovative breakthroughs of the UTXO model, "Syscoin will benefit and capitalize on these innovations".
8. Proof of Work

There are clear negatives to PoW: selfish mining, energy consumption to name a few..

Due to the complex nature of DeFi applications and the required level of certainty, selfish mining essentially makes it impossible for DeFi applications to trust the network.
9. PoW in Context

According to Eyal (2018), selfish mining has the
potential to outperform honest mining if the selfish miner has approximately 33% of the global hash
rate.

The largest BTC pool accounts for 17.1% of the total BTC hash rate.
10. #Syscoin Solution

Chain locks.

Yes, by allowing near instant consensus through LLMQs.

An LLMQ is a number of entities with voting power in a majority consensus governance. Useable for a fixed period.

A finality guarantee, through chainlock includes financial incentives.
11. Zero Knowledge Rollups- $ZKR (Part 1)

Finality also reduces the time of ZKR.

ZKR will be utilised in the system development kit layer of $SYS.

ZK Rollups is a layer 2 solution that bundles dozens of transactions off-chain and generates a ZK proof.
12. Zero Knowledge Rollups- $ZKR (Part 2)

The ZK proof is used to prove the validity of transactions.

The ZK-proofs can be handled off chain too.

A significant concern is that transactions could get stuck in the case of off-chain ZK-proofs.

Built in mechanisms prevent this.
13. Zero Knowledge Rollups- $ZKR (Part 3)

ZK-rollups will drastically increase the scalability
of the #Syscoin ecosystem and decrease transaction fees.

Due to the gas fee market being based on a
supply and demand mechanism, the overall cost model will be lowered.
14. What is NEVM? Its' importance? (Part 1)

It will be the spearhead for plans of the #Syscoin foundation.

Understanding how it works is important for potential- and established investors.

NEVM brings EVM and scalable smart contracts to the Syscoin ecosystem.
14. What is NEVM? Its' importance? (Part 2)

#Syscoin NEVM is designed to provide smart contracts and interoperability that can scale while remaining low-cost and performant.

Whilst providing robust decentralized settlements that are secured by Bitcoin’s PoW security.
15. Advantages of NEVM

Smart contracts can scale to a number of transactions using a blockchain that provides concise proofs of one-time executions which can be validated in parallel.

A decentralized cost model that leads to a significantly more efficient market for gas fees.
16. Advantages of NEVM (Part 2)

-A decentralized cost model that leads to a more efficient gas fee market
-An interactive data availability
-Trustless cross-chain interoperability is for easy integration with various blockchains
-Merged mining security with PoW network
17. Roadmap

Q1 2022- zK Rollups, 210K on-chain TPS

Q3 2022- Validium: 4 Million Off-Chain TPS

Here is a useful paper to understand the roadmap.

18. Tokenomics (Part 1)

The tokenomics of SYS are based on EIP-1559 for an economy that can operate indefinitely. In line with EIP-1559, SYS does not have a capped max supply.

The supply of SYS is managed programmatically through protocol emission and deflationary burning.
19. Tokenomics (Part 2)

Market Cap: $746,115,582
Fully Diluted Market Cap: $1,035,770,870
Market Rank: #112
Circulating Supply: 631,233,595.48 SYS
Max Supply: 888,000,000
20. My Thesis

If you follow me, you know I like to give you my perspective of where the market is heading.

The issue of privacy not offsetting the blockchain "trilemma" is becoming an increasingly pushed narrative.

All/most zK incorporated technologies will see a rise in...
21. My Thesis continued...

Adoption, as 2022 plays out.

Technology has and will continue to improve.

Hence why I believe $SYS will be a strong innovator, already possessing the ability to innovate (e.g UTXO model).

I look forward to see #Syscoin grow its ecosystem and dApps.

People are learning about maximising stablecoin returns through #Curve.

In this thread we will explore what the #CurveWars are, and how you can maximise your returns through $CVX and $CRV.

In particular, dropping some alpha on the $BTRFLY Cartel DAO.

/THREAD 🧵
1. Understanding Curve Is Central

This thread will not be about explaining $Curve.

This is a good thread by @JackNiewold to read if you don't already have an understanding of #Curve.

2. [Redacted] Cartel is an $OHM fork.

$BTRFLY is the rebase governance token. The treasury of Redacted DAO bonds $CRV and $CVX to mint $BTRFLY.

It is an Olympus Fork entering curve wars. Building on one of the most upcoming principles of DeFi.

A SHORT Thread on @ThetaNuts

Let's talk about Options Trading on #Terra #LUNA.

Learning this, when 99% of the space hasn't inherently puts you at an advantage.

/THREAD 🧵
If you are not clear on exactly what options are,

Don't worry anon, I shall simplify these concepts for you.

Then we will discuss options on Terra, and why this is so interesting.

/1
An options contract offers the buyer the opportunity to buy or sell depending on the type of contract they hold—the underlying asset.

Call options and put options form the basis for a wide range of option strategies.

My Macroeconomic Perspective:

In this market, I remain uncertain of the current movement of the #SP500 and #Bitcoin.

Macroeconomics should be used in tune with fundamental investments.

/THREAD 🧵
In a research paper conducted by the IMF,

Overly optimistic growth expectations for a country "induce economic contractions a few years later.

"This mechanism appears to run through excessive accumulation of both public and private debt"

Let's simplify this...

/1
If a country in general is too positive about economic growth.

The expectations of growth will far exceed the actual growth taking place.

Over a period of time, individuals will see growth metrics showing their optimism was unjustified.

Metrics such as inflation...
