The market seems woefully confused about the best way to get $SOLID exposure right now. I'm here to help.
Imagine you've got $10,000 and you want $SOLID exposure, whats the best value play?
It's probably not what you think...
๐ ๐งต
Assumptions
I'm ignoring #FTM protocol specific plays right now because (IMO) there are too many variables there.
I want to focus on the options that are either direct exposure or are solely focused on controlling $SOLID.
That means looking at $SOLID, $SEX, $WeVE, $OXD.
I'm also ignoring the more speculative longer term value proposition around each, but will touch on those later.
I also got very little sleep last night, so it's possible I fucked something up. Please send notes if so!
So how much $SOLID can $10,000 get you with each?
$SEX: 2,126
$SOLID: 833
$WeVE: 692.69
$OXD: 304
What kind of yields can you get on each?
$SEX: 5000%
$SOLID: 3000%
$WeVE: 0%*
$OXD: 1400%
๐คฏ this is an insane discrepancy!
*No LP, but veDAO is farming + value will accrue back.
Thoughts on $SEX
It is possible the market is undervaluing @SolidexFantom until a bug fix is confirmed.
But, from what I've heard they've got one and @AndreCronjeTech has been involved.
There could also be ill-will from rekt LPs, but recompense could smooth that over quick.
Thoughts on $WeVE
If $SEX is woefully undervalued at the moment, that means $WeVE (@SolidexFantom's top partner) is too.
And if you've been watching closely, you'll see their plan to compound control has been going swimmingly.
In 2 days, they've increased their $SOLID by 50%.
Thoughts on $OXD
I like @0xDAO_fi, but am at a loss as to why people are buying / holding it at current prices.
$OXD represents a share of their initial $veSOLID allocation and access to their "partner benefits".
That means...
...to buy it at today's prices, you have to pay 7x the price per $SOLID that $SEX gets you.
If someone has run a model on how those benefits can close that gap in ROI I'd love to see it.
I fear folks are just confused about what they're buying OXD v1. It's not their $CVX, yet.
Thoughts on Yield
Beyond the stunning discrepancies in price / $SOLID, there is also the opportunity cost of missed yields.
Not only can $SEX get you 7x the value of $OXD, but you can farm/compound it for 5,000% APR.
That is 3.5x more than the 1,400% APR of the $OXD pool.
Conclusion
I took time away from furious compounding yields this morning to see if the numbers would shift my strategy.
๐ โโ๏ธ they have not
๐ $SEX is a 7x better value than $OXD
๐ $SEX can farm 3.5x the yield of $OXD
๐ $WeVE is increasing control of $SOLID + $SEX
So...
I'm going to...
๐ Continue to Stack + Farm $SEX
๐ Stack and Farm SOLIDsex / $SOLID
๐ Accumulate more $WeVE
๐ Eventually buy some $OXD v2 with my gains
Thanks for reading! Retweet the alpha and give me a follow for more.
After months of skirmishes, the #veSolidWars were officially kicking off and the excitement was palpable.
Then... ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE.
My attempt at a recap. ๐๐งต
Quick Background
When @AndreCronjeTech announced his new AMM Solidly, he distributed ownership to the top #Fantom protocols as ranked by TVL.
This ignited a battle for control that eventually coalesced into a struggle for control between two teams: @SolidexFantom + @0xDAO_fi
As the day began, we heard from the holdouts...
๐ @SpookySwap would remain neutral
๐ @SynapseProtocol would delay / go solo for now
๐ In the final minutes, @fraxfinance joined #0xDAO
๐ Second highest amount of bribes / ETH ever
๐ Decrease in total bribes / $ due to market volatility
๐ Bribes largely flat, but $TRIBE + $LUNA increased
๐ One returning briber in $DAI, one drop out in $MTA
Payouts were about $.38 / vlCVX (40% APR).
What does this tell us?
That none of the drama in #crypto is hurting the $CVX #Votium flywheel.
Average bribes (ETH) and briber qtys have continued to increase + that trend seems likely to continue.
And when the market recovers / catalysts arrives, people will take notice.
TL;DR: The next 48 hours will be huge and there are rumors of a second front soon opening. ๐
๐งต๐
Why the next 48 hours?
๐ @solidlyexchange emissions start tomorrow
๐ Same deadline for veNFT deposits on #Solidex
๐ @SolidexFantom is expected to launch
๐ Clarity on @0xDAO_fi's launch plans coming soon
Then the battle for control of #Solidly truly begins!
