Want to maximize returns by speculating/hedging on future price of assets while limiting downside?

@sig_finance could be the answer for @terra_money!

Get set to use your $LunaX to earn premiums while retaining staking yield/airdrops.

Here's everything you need to know...👇 Image
Terra lacks one crucial financial product - Options.

While @mirror_protocol enabled retail crypto users to dive into the world of stocks…

Options are the financial toys of more advanced users.

They have a deep knowledge of leverage and hedging strategies.

The problem?
They are desperately looking for the thrill that options bring.

And to put their knowledge and expertise to good use.

@sig_finance answered their wishes.

Sigma is attempting to bring the exciting world of options to Terra.

The best part?
Users will be able to mint and trade options with great transparency and decentralization…

Two elements missing in the traditional financial realm.

Plus:

Users could borrow option contracts against Terra assets.

We aren't sure which assets you can collateralize.

Yet...
Sigma has enough in the bank to satisfy thrill-seeking users.

They are yet to announce the launch date and are running a series of audits at the moment.

But they should be up and running soon.

By the way:

Would you like to see $LunaX in their list of eligible collaterals?

The @terra_money's DeFi ecosystem is missing a crucial financial product:

'Options'

Here's why you should care:

- They have the potential to skyrocket your portfolio
- They protect your portfolio from price crashes

So, what are options and how do they work?

#ELI5 🧶 👇 Image
Let's take a publicly-traded stock.

An options contract gives you the right to buy or sell this stock at a specific price.

But you are not obligated to do so.

That means:

You don't have to buy or sell the stock if it's not in your financial interest or advantage.

How?
Here's how it works in practice.

Let's take two people - Alex and Kate.

Alex believes that the share price of company X will increase to $40 per share.

Currently, it's trading at $30 per share.

So this is what Alex does:

4 ways to use Terra's protocols to your advantage!

(Plus a sizzling bonus at the end)

Read on to find out:

🧶👇 Image
1. @anchor_protocol

Anchor is Terra's OG DeFi protocol with the highest TVL across the network - $10.41B.

It allows you to borrow $UST against liquid assets like $bLUNA.

And then deposit the borrowed $UST to earn a massive 20% APY.

No wonder it has such huge TVL.

Next:
2. @EdgeProtocol

Edge allows you to borrow and lend several Terra assets.

You can deposit an asset as collateral and borrow against it.

For example:

Remember the yield you get on your $UST deposits on Anchor?

Well, you earn yield in $aUST tokens.

Now for the fun part:

😵😵 DID YOU KNOW 😵😵

Staking rewards can tell a lot about the @terra_money's present and future performance?

That's because they are related.

Here's how...🧶👇 Image
Staking rewards come from 2 sources:

1. Gas fees from transactions on Terra
2. Swap fees from swapping stables to $LUNA and vice versa

At the end of every block:

Both these fees are distributed to validators and their delegators.

More details here:
docs.terra.money/docs/learn/pro…
So:

Higher transactions and swaps = Higher fees = Higher rewards

In other words:

High staking rewards indicate a thriving economy within Terra.

Where more users are making transactions using $UST and $LUNA.

And this can only be good for the future of Terra.

Because...

Money Markets hold untold treasures.

And the golden key to unlocking it?

$LunaX.

Here's how...🔽🔽
$LUNA works hard to earn you rewards and airdrops.

But transforming $LUNA into $LunaX allows it to do way more.

$LunaX allows you to:

- Borrow Terra assets against it
- Deposit them on different protocols that give out fat yields
- While earning rewards

For example: Image
You borrow $LUNA on Edge against $LunaX and stake them on Stader.

You instantly double your rewards.

OR

You borrow $aUST on Edge against $LunaX and mint mAssets on Mirror against these $aUST tokens.

And...

What's the maximum supply of $LUNA?

Is it still at 1 Billion?

How does its maximum supply make $LUNA deflationary?

We are putting an end to these questions right now.

🧵👇 Image
$LUNA's maximum supply was set at 1 billion at genesis.

That was a long time ago.

Currently, $LUNA has no max supply.

Here's why:

$LUNA is used to maintain $UST's peg.

So...

To mint $UST you need $LUNA.

The more $UST you want to mint...
The more $LUNA you must have in circulation.

That's why the supply of $LUNA can't be limited.

In the long term...

As demand for $UST rises...

So will $LUNA's price - as it'll become deflationary.
