A Nexus Protocol MEGA Thread

Terra’s first yield optimizer and liquidation protector vaults.

Changing DeFi as we know it.

Let's explore how... $PSI

/THREAD🧵
1. @NexusProtocol ? Tell me more.

A new protocol, launched with Col-5.

Focuses on:
-Yield optimisation
-Risk management
-Working in front of anchor

Optimisation such as front running $anc protocol operations and allowing the implementation of different strategies based on risk
2. Use Cases

Two vaults (bAsset and #UST )

You can deposit $eth, instead of $lido.

#ETH holders can access services of #anchor on #Terra by depositing it directly.

#NEXUS provides an insurance. How does insurance work today?

Mainly via personable identifiable information.
3. Insurance in TradFi

With TradFi insurance:

A premium can be established and built.

An appropriate premium can be paid, when the company invests your dollars today.

Finance tells us a dollar today is more important than a dollar tomorrow.

So who are the losers?

Us.
4. Losers in TradFi

Traditional Insurance- insurance isn't aligned with you.

They want to keep our money as long as possible.

They will avoid paying you out as quickly as possible too.

How does it need to work differently?

More on this...
5. Defining a Counterparty

Nexus- aligns you as an insurance mechanism in a clear and concise sense- you can even vote.

Think-- paying insurance but also on the board of the insurance company.

More utility for you.

Logic is built into the insurance product thus by design.
6. Parametric event triggers

Nexus optimises LTV (loan to value ratio).

When LTV starts dropping, Nexus steps in to avoid liquidation.

Eg 60% towards liquidation, Nexus will step in.

This presents new concepts which can be implemented in what you are using.
7. Ecosystems grow via investment

Capital Inflows.

Capital flows fluently only when it understands risk in the ecosystem.

These protocols allow you to quantify the risk your taking on in these ecosystems like Terra.

Often as investors we overlook the risk in projects.
8. First product

Anchor vault with BLuna. Sits in front of Anchor borrow

You can front run Anchor api intervals in 15 rather than 30 seconds.

Risks in Anchor: Anchor price oracle pauses liquidation in smart contracts.

In turn, can trigger liquidation when contract is paused.
9. Secure

Smart Contract based- emergency/safe/optimal mode.

Anchor - multi billion dollars under management

What will happen to Nexus as it takes in more inflows?
10. Nexus right now.

Lets you earn superior APY/APR with Ethereum token,

Can earn passive income in higher than 20% without bonding #Ethereum .

If price oracle fails, uses back of #anchor price oracle in emergency mode.

A massive addition into terra ecosystem evidently.
11. Tokenomics

As a holder of in assets. Nexus vault yield rewards

Farming $PSI tokens give you governance- can stake and earn rewards.

But what about token distribution?
12. Distribution

10 billion $PSI tokens distribution- at least 4 years.

Can be extended if 10 billion is not met.

Majority went to core team to start. Then investment providers which has already been fulfilled.

LP miners as well are profiting heavily,
13. Narratives

As more complex DeFi strategies develop.

Programmatic insurance is the next stage of DeFi.

It may be implemented on other platforms, not just #Terra .

I am looking forward to the introduction of the $UST vault linked below:

docs.nexusprotocol.app/launch/protoco…
14. My Thesis

Over the next few months/years.

Insurance protocols in DeFi will play a part, as more individuals learn how to effectively hedge assets to lower risk.

@NexusProtocol is the first on @terra_money. Wheere #Terra is the first in so many unique ways.

Offshift.

A guide to understanding simply the technology, tokenomics, team and vision behind this project.

$XFT #Offshift @OffshiftXFT

/MEGA THREAD 🧵 Image
1. Format of the thread

This thread will be broken down into:

-Value Proposition
-Tokenomics
-Vision
-Roadmap
-Price Metrics

Buckle up anon...
2. Background

DeFi has opened up a massive pathway in crypto, for individuals to earn a passive source of income based on their risk appetite.

Further to this, privacy has been long forgotten. Often at the expense of individuals.

$XFT aims to solve this tradeoff of privacy.

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.

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.

Let's talk about $Saito

A blockchain solving a multitude of economic problems that have caused incentive issues in the past.

We will be discussing the technology, fundamentals and tokenomics to help you understand better.

Let's dive in...

THREAD/🧵
As we discussed about Research Methodology in this Medium article (linked below),

We first must discuss the problems that $Saito aims to solve.

medium.com/@crypto8fi/how…

/1
The issues $Saito aims to solve revolves around thee traditional scalable commercial blockchain.

It is difficult to be:

-Open
-Secure
-Self Sufficient (decentralization)

Often there is the compromise of one of these.

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...
