A week has passed since my last update on @anchor_protocol and the yield reserve on @YouTube πŸŽ₯

Since then, a lot has happened around @terra_money and $UST.

So, how has the situation evolved around Anchor? A lot of good news & also some WIP to move ahead.

πŸ‘‡πŸ§΅ \n
1\ First, let us tackle the elephant in the room: Degenbox and $UST peg.

The $UST peg has shown tremendous strength while over a 1.2b $UST left Anchor EARN.

This amount seems to be partly covered by the Degenbox looping strategy with $MIM on Ethereum.

etherscan.io/address/0xd96f…
2\ Currently, the Degenbox is holding 100M $UST. As per Medium article by @mim_spell, the Degenbox shall keep around 10% of $UST on the Ethereum chain.

That number decreased by 43M in last week, which indicates that around 0.5B $UST has been withdrawn from EARN (more possible)
3\ Ultimately, the news of the unwinding is exceptionally favorable for the @terra_money ecosystem.

The pressure on the EARN side decreased by around 30%, but the $UST MC did not drop, which shows the strength and demand for $UST in general.
4\ Nevertheless, the reserve dropped to $30M. While the absolute number is down, the reserve's runway stayed almost unchanged in days.

This is due to the extreme decrease on EARN & the positive effect of $LUNA staking yield, which increases due to the ecosystem's true revenue.
5\ Based on today's figures, the yield reserve would hold for another 20 days.

After that, @anchorprotocol would run roughly at a 9% yield to the income of $432M to almost $5B on EARN.
6\ So, what to do next?

The @anchorprotocol team is working with high speed integrating the new borrow model V2, which would include cross-chain yield-bearing auto compounding assets like LUNAx & mSOL into the borrowing side.

7\ Additionally, it seems that the liquidation threshold for bAssets will be increased via governance poll to 80%.

Most likely, this will go hand in hand with a rise in the max borrow threshold to around 65%. The max borrow rate cannot be adjusted via a vote.
8\ So, how would the situation with the added changes plus a potential top-up of the reserve as teased by Do Kwon? This is the current result with the current assumption:

Adding $500M in new bAssets (AVAX), increasing the true borrowing ratio to 55% & a $LUNA recovery to $67
9/ The numbers indicate, that both new bAssets and an increase in TVL might be the needed turnaround for
@anchor_protocol

The runway adding between 100-300M $UST would support Anchor for multiple months.
10\ Wanna do some math by yourself? Be my guest. You can find the current version of the Excel-Tool online.

I will improve the tool in the next weeks and add some automated data sources with the support of the data master @alphaDefi_

The ultimate goal of every crypto ecosystem is to create a self-sustaining environment where economic activity stimulates more action: a flywheel

The addition of BOW on @teamkujira added another puzzle piece in completing the Kujira ecosystem.

How do the pieces fit? 🧡/n πŸ‘‡
1/ A lot of promising projects as @CALC_Finance or @TeamLocalMoney are building on top of @TeamKujira

Nevertheless, the core team is creating a unique set of in-house protocols to ensure a strong foundation for a web3 economy.

The main economic drivers are FIN & ORCA 🐳
2/ While ORCA is designated to capture considerable market shares due to its unique design and proven use case of liquidations, the focus has been set on FIN, as it offers an immediate use and market fit as an on-chain orderbook 🎯

The bear market challenges everybody. But could the low prices be a security risk for Cosmos chains?

Validators run the chain infrastructure in exchange for a commission from delegators.

The question is: Do validators earn enough to validate blocks? 🧡/n πŸ‘‡ Image
1/ To answer the question, we need to check the revenue and expenses of validators. So, first, let us check on the revenue stream.

Four parts define the revenue of a validator:

- Delegation Amount
- Token Price
- Commission
- Staking APR
2/ All four parts can be found as information on-chain to calculate the revenue of validators per month:

(Delegation Amount * Price * Commission * Staking APR)/12

We reached another incredible milestone at @danku_zone w/ @daic_capital

I am proud to announce that we entered the active validator set on @InjectiveLabs πŸ₯· You can stake your precious $INJ with us, nINJas!

And what a pleasing place next to our friends @stakecito 🀝

/n Image
1/ As you know, we are trying to expand our Cosmos network to keep contributing as a community validator, which lives the spirit of web3.

A special thank you goes to @InjectiveLabs, giving us the chance to prove our technical knowledge & engagement with an initial delegation.
2/ With my partner and friends @daic_capital, we will contribute to the growing ecosystem of @InjectiveLabs and support the process of decentralization of the current set.

Look forward to more pieces on an ecosystem that I had very long on my personal list!

August will be a crucial month for the old @terra_money classic chain.

@TerraRebels are preparing a governance proposal, which will have a significant impact: Literally, a true make-or-break after the crash in May.

My TL;DR-take: LetΒ΄s try it 🧡/n πŸ‘‡

1/ I think I do not need to review what happened to the chain in May. Three significant events are relevant:

1. Staking was disabled on Classic to prevent an attack as so much $LUNA was minted.
2. The mint/burn between UST and LUNA was disabled.
3. A new chain was bootstrapped.
2/ Since then, the Classic chain was basically left behind by TFL, which facilitated all the implementations pre-crash.

Is this cool? For sure not. Might there be legal implications for this? I don't know. But for sure, the chain seems to have no future under these conditions.

I am proud to see that our validator nodes @danku_zone w/@daic_capital keep growing.

Our next goal: Mastering the Seinami.

We are on the @SeiNetwork testnet and I am excited about the design future of this new network.

Let's deep dive πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/ What the Sei is this?

@SeiNetwork is a layer-1 blockchain with a built-in on-chain orderbook.

Alternatively, you can also say this: Sei is an on-chain CLOB, a central limit orderbook. Let's be honest: It just sounds better to say CLOB.
2/ While DeFi is mainly dominated by automated market makers leveraging liquidity pools, CLOBs remain the most popular trading tool off-chain.

On a CLOB, buys and sellers are matched. The highest bid & the lowest offer constitute the best market.

The new @terra_money governance proposal 870, "Validator minimum commission update," is discussed controversially.

As a validator, my partner @daic and I decided to vote "No".

n/πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/ The commission is the primary revenue stream for validators that have the task of running and securing the network.

This economic incentive is needed to offset the infrastructure cost of the network nodes. And as you know, I see it as a way to even cross-fund my content.
2/ Thus, economically, there is a need for a commission. Without commissions, the validator would subsidize the network and run at a loss.

As for ourselves, some entities validate multiple chains & use earnings from other networks to be more aggressive in attracting funds.
