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That number decreased by 43M in last week, which indicates that around 0.5B $UST has been withdrawn from EARN (more possible)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_
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 π³
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 π―
I am proud to announce that we entered the active validator set on @InjectiveLabs π₯· You can stake your precious $INJ with us, nINJas!
And what a pleasing place next to our friends @stakecito π€
/n
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!
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.
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/π§΅π
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.
