Refracting is without doubt @prism_protocol's main functionality.
Within the "Refract" tab, you have the ability to:
a) Split
b) Merge
c) Bond
d) Redeem
Let's have a look!
3/ "Splitting" allows you to split your $LUNA into an equal amount of its two components:
- $yLUNA, representing the right to earn the underlying $LUNA's (staking & airdrop) yield and
- $pLUNA, representing the principal & #governance rights of the underlying $LUNA
4/ What's important to note here is that $pLUNA and $yLUNA tokens are separately tradeable - but we'll get there, don't worry!
5/ "Merging" is the counterpart to splitting. It allows you to combine an equal part of $yLUNA and $pLUNA back into it's original form: $LUNA.
Well, almost! See, for your $LUNA to be able to earn staking yield, they are automatically bonded by @prism_protocol behind the scenes.
6/ That means that when you merge your $yLUNA and $pLUNA you get $cLUNA. cLUNA represents a "C"omplete (easy way to remember) $LUNA and can be redeemed back for a $LUNA (see below).
Remember: $cLUNA is basically a $LUNA, just needs to be unbonded (like $bLUNA on other platforms)
7/ "Bonding"
Now that you know about $cLUNA, bonding is easily explained. It just turns your regular $LUNA into $cLUNA - and that's it.
Pro tip: $cLUNA usually trades at a little (2-3%) discount to $LUNA. If you want $cLUNA, don't bond, but trade! This way you'll get moreππΈ
8/ "Redeeming"
Looking to make your $cLUNA into $LUNA again? Just redeem it!
Instant Burn π₯π₯π₯= Sell on PRISM #DEX
Slow Burn π₯= Start 21-24 day unbonding period (like with $bLUNA)
And that's all you need to know about the "Refract" tab!π
And that's all you need to know about the "Swap" tab!π
15/ Poolsπ
The "Pools" tab is where you can participate in #liquiditymining and let your token earn #APRs ranging up to 30+%!
It is these liquidity pools that fuel the #DEX and thus trading under the "Swap" tab. The more trading happens, the higher your APR! π₯
16/ Take note that when "providing" to a liquidity pool, @prism_protocol will only let you deposit an equal amount ($ value) of token into the pool (no single-sided entry).
As such, the UI will not show your tokens, if you do not have a corresponding amount of its trading pair.
17/ Of course, all the "normal" risks and rewards of #liquiditypools apply, and that includes #impermanentloss. Usually, it is very much negligible.
And that's all you need to know about the "Pools" tab!π
18/ GovernποΈ
The "Govern" tab's most important functionality, is staking your $PRISM for $xPRISM.
$xPRISM is a liquid staking token: it accrues value in real-time, without the need for you to claim your rewards. This also means the ratio of $PRISM/ $xPRISM is constantly rising.
19/ Protip: Instead of staking your $PRISM, swap them for $xPRISM on the market.
Currently, it still trades at a small discount, even though one $xPRISM already grants you almost 3 % more $PRISM after unstaking π
Always check current market prices, though!
20/ You can correspondingly unstake your $xPRISM back to $PRISM in the "Govern" tab.
Take note: There is a 21 day unstaking period!
BTW, current $xPRISM APR = 62.88 %, all from organic protocol revenueππ
And that's all you need to - WAIT, there's more! Let's look at AMPSπ
21/ Remember AMPS from the PRISM Farm under the "Staking" tab?
This is where you'll be able to earn them by "pledging" your $xPRISM to the AMPS vault. This process is free and does not lock your $xPRISM.
But...
- What are AMPS?
- Can I lose them?
- Are they tradeable?
22/ What are AMPS?β‘
AMPS enable you to increase (amp it up!β‘) your yield from the PRISM farm, based on:
a) how many $xPRISM you pledge to the vault and
b) for how long they remain pledged.
Currently, AMPS can more than double your yield from PRISM farm π₯
23/ If you're not participating in PRISM farm, you currently don't need AMPS.
...currently...
It might still make sense to build up a nice AMPS stack, who knows what's to come β‘π₯β‘
24/ Can you lose AMPS?
Yes, if you unpledge, you lose all your AMPS.
Are AMPS tradeable?
No, they belong only to you!
And that's really all you need to know about the "Govern" tab and all of @prism_protocol !πππ

Here's why $LUNA is - still - undervalued and why YOU should be buying it right now, if you're looking for #financialfreedomπΈ
Aπ§΅that might just change your life.
1/ $LUNA's financial revolution is closely tied to it's stablecoins. To understand the importance of #stablecoins, you must know that they account for a vast majority of trading volume in #crypto and are of course at the center of putting the #currency back into #cryptocurrency.
2/ Now, on the #terraluna ecosystem there are stablecoins for a lot of different currencies (USD, EUR, CHF, GBP, KRW, etc.) but the currently most integrated and used one is the USD-stablecoin: USTπ²
Here's why everybody should be buying $pLUNA on @prism_protocol right nowπ
A short π§΅, you won't regretπΈ
1/ Let's start with the basics: @prism_protocol let's you split ("refract") your $LUNA into two components:
- $yLUNA: representing the underlying $LUNA's yield (current APR 42 % on @prism_protocol) and
- $pLUNA: representing the principal
$pLUNA + $yLUNA = $LUNA
2/ The current ratio of these two components is heavily weighted towards $yLUNA, it representing around 87 % of $LUNA's price ($81), while $pLUNA is only capturing the remaining 13 % ($12). π€
We missed some more information on the capabilities of $pLUNA, though! No problem - that's what we are here for π€
A quick 𧡠on what you can currently (& soon!) do with $pLUNA!
1/ $pLUNA represents the principal token of $LUNA.
In theory, you should be able to do everything with $pLUNA, that can be done with $LUNA, except of course, earn staking yield (as that's what $pLUNA's counterpart $yLUNA is for!)
2/ Since @prism_protocol just recently launched, in practice things are looking a bit different though.
Naturally, you can #hodl your $pLUNA. Besides that, you can...
Splitting ("refracting") your #LUNA into #yLUNA and #pLUNA can currently earn you the highest attainable #LUNA yield in the @terra_money ecosystem π
1/ First step: Refract your #LUNA (see above). You now own an identical amount of #yLUNA and #pLUNA.
These tokens can always be merged back together to form a full #LUNA (well, #cLUNA, which has to unbond back to #LUNA for 21-24 days, like #bLUNA - but you get the point!)
2/ #yLUNA is #LUNA's yield component. Therefore, it can be staked, just like regular #LUNA. You can attain the "normal" staking yield in @prism_protocol's "stake" tab.
#Airdrops are automatically claimed by the protocol, further simplyfing your UX.
1/ @prism_protocol's innovative approach of allowing users to split ("refract") their #LUNA tokens into #pLUNA and #yLUNA lies at the core of the protocol.
For this service, a portion of yield derived through the protocol goes towards #PRISM stakers, i.e. #xPRISM#hodlers.
2/ While all of the juicy details can be found @ prismprotocol.notion.site, the gist of it is as follows:
By holding #PRISM and staking it for the auto-compunding #xPRISM token, you effectively become a shareholder of @prism_protocol's income stream.
