I didnt add an example to show the power of @THORSwap and the $rune asset and how the yields are dynamic to how the protocol functions. so here is some napkin math.....
2/ example:
lets say rune is 1$ and the MC is 1,000,000$ just for this example)
Now the yield for the $BTC pool is paying 20%.
lets say a user deposits $1,000,000 of btc......that would go to 10% because the TVL doubled. wouldnt it?
3/ No, remember the formula every 1$ deposited=$3 on rune MC
so if this is the case then the rune price would go to $4 because the MC got juiced to 4,000,000$......
so since the Apy is based in rune the new apy instead of 20% would be 80% / 2 because higher TVL
so =40% APY
4/ Now it doesnt stop there remember with higher TVL this brings lower slippage
lower slippage=more traders
more traders=more swap fees for LP's
More swap fees= Higher APR
Higher APR= more TVL
more TVL= juice rune price and bring more traders
-rinse and repeat 😉
5/ So obviously this is a lower marketcap example so as the numbers get larger the yield rise will not be as significant but this illustrates the power of thorchain and the Flywheel it is creating
FTM......
What will be a catalyst that makes it go?
1. wen aave
2.wen felix exchange
3.wen coinbase
4.bribe wars heating up
5.🔥 community
6.ultimate DEFI chain
7.lowest mc to tvl ratio
8.wen gamefi
9.hands down fastest chain
10.options thoon? 11. whats next? 👇
2/ well lets talk about the upcoming catalyst with @DeusDao and @LiquidDriver. Will this be the battle of the gigga brains @Dr_Liquid_ and @lafachief or will they be complementary.....well IMO it will be complementary. Let me explain
3/ so what is liquid driver,
A TLDR is that it is a autocompounder that basically juices the yields compared to what they would normally be aka (curve/convex) see pic below (the 1st is lqdr, the 2nd is spooky)
Food for thought……would you walk around with your total net worth written on your forehead?
I can assume most will say no to this.
2/what if I told you that when you are transacting and using blockchain all of your information is public
everyone can know
-all the tokens you have
-all the money in your wallet
-where you spend your money
-the list could go on and on
3/Okay that’s great and all Drake but whats the solution?
is one protocol called secret network
2/ Well lets get into the data on how the yield is generated.
Just like all yield farms a certain number of tokens are allocated to a given pool regardless of price, so the more people that deposit they less tokens you get.... so the lower the apy? right?
3/ yes and no
*remember apys are based in rune price
so 10$ rune price paying 10% apy
will pay around 20% apy if rune price goes to 20$
......wait why does the rune price have to go up???
Why does @THORSwap have the ultimate defi yield for stables.......
it has to do with tranches
2/ Let me explain:
You have probably heard of this thing called $rune (if you haven't her chart is like shoes that fit on your feet)
translation: nuts and ham
2nd translation: GOOD like REALLY GOOD
3/so with tranches say you want to invest 10,000$
what you would do is split it up 50/50 or 60/40 with the equal or lesser going to the more risky strat (in this case the lesser is 40 😉 )
just for example purposes we will do 50/50
so 5k thorswap
and 5k anchor
Ever bought something because it did this, this and this, better?
or it was going to be the next________.
or even... it is going to disrupt _______ as we know it?
and after all those long nights of research, study and conviction
2/ it ends up turning into something entirely different.
ex:
BTC- Digital cash (well that didnt work out)
ETH-The world computer ( 14 Tps, and 80$ gas fees, mabe im missing something 🧐 )
FTM-no such thing as Defi on that chain about a year ago 😉
3/ Luna-an easier way for people IRL to buy goods and services (particularly in Korea and other nations)....UST is the largest cap stable coin not the KRW, GBP or any other currency
Doge- a completely useless coin (ended up being pretty usefully for spreading the word of crypto)
