An on-going list of ๐Ÿงต Iโ€™ve written on projects & narratives.

I didnโ€™t expect followers so ๐Ÿ™, figured Iโ€™d organize.

In crypto since 2013, and VC tech industry since 2008 as a 3x founder and investor. I write from that POV.

Give me a follow if you enjoy or want to connect ๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $LUNA

A #LUNAtic since early 2021. @terra_money is my highest conviction bet on my thesis around growth and utility of stable coins in crypto. With $UST as itโ€™s core product, itโ€™s the perfect blend of GTM strategy, product, design, team, community, investors.

Original ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $CVX $CRV ecosystem

I started in DeFi in 2020 as a @CurveFinance OG. As my stablecoin thesis solidified, so did my CRV as DeFi liquidity center conviction.

@ConvexFinance is a levered bet on CRV. Stellar community, and pays out handsomely in yield. ๐Ÿ’ฐ

Latest post ๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $BNT

@Bancor since Dec 2020, and is one of my thesis picks for DeFi for the masses.

Itโ€™s unique AMM design is a moat. Itโ€™s DeFi for dummies.

I share the v2.1 limitations. I expect v3 release next month will melt faces.

Pre v3๐Ÿงต here, follow me for post v3 post soon๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $ASTRO

My thesis was every major L1 nation-state needs a core exchange and money market.

@astroport_fi is @terra_money premium dex. In 3 months, itโ€™s become a top 3 dex in volume with support for $UNI + $CRV + $BAL type pool options.

Follow for on-going updates

OG post๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $BTC ๐Ÿค $UST

One of the boldest and strategic moves of @terra_money is the $10b target for #bitcoin reserves

Recaps and thoughts on @stablekwon first interview post-announcement was not surprisingly high engagement. ๐Ÿ‘‡
/ DeFi Governance

Governance participation is important. Itโ€™s an active duty & will be a key narrative as we mature together as a community.

Highlighting an example of how activism works with effort and a @stablekwon push.

#LUNAtics mold your world vision. Votes are power
/ โ€œNationsโ€ vs โ€œBusinessesโ€

Web3 challenges existing mental models. Depending on a protocols approach and design, different eval frameworks should be applied.

L1โ€™s are more like nation economies. Protocols like CVX might be better evaluating as a business.

I share ๐Ÿ’ญ here ๐Ÿ‘‡
/ $UST $FRAX

At this point you know my love of decentralized stables due to

๐Ÿ”น censorship resistance
๐Ÿ”น scalability
๐Ÿ”น efficiency

Love @terra_money and @fraxfinance.

Shared thoughts on a d2pool to challenge incumbent 3pool and rationale below ๐Ÿ‘‡

Getting a lot of qโ€™s on what is the play? Quick ๐Ÿงต

๐Ÿ”น $LUNA bullish, $UST peg and demand ๐Ÿ“ˆ
๐Ÿ”น $FXS bullish, $FRAX demand ๐Ÿ“ˆ
๐Ÿ”น $BTRFLY bullish, $UST to farm $ASTRO
๐Ÿ”น $CVX ๐Ÿ‘‘ maker - ULTRA bullish because top DAOs mentioned have 5%, and not all $CRV votes. Image
In a $CRV war, you need weapons.
$CVX has always been the play for liquidity battlefront ๐Ÿ‘‡
Market tends to agree.

$ASTRO $FXS $BTRFLY

$CVX will catch up soon ImageImageImageImage

$CVX Mega-๐Ÿงต and catalysts

๐Ÿ”น overview
๐Ÿ”น fundamentals
๐Ÿ”น catalysts
๐Ÿ”น community & tools
๐Ÿ”น summary

I approach things from a product manager mentality because that is what I do, building VC-backed companies for a living.

Letโ€™s dive in ๐Ÿ‘‡
/1

Overview

I did a 90 min chat with @TaikiMaeda2 in early December, sharing with his community an overview of @ConvexFinance and my thoughts.

It assumes knowledge of $CRV so itโ€™s more of a level 2 discussion.
/2

@ConvexFinance, abstractly, is a vertically integrated framework that makes veTKN models better

They do so with a 3 solutions or products

๐Ÿ”น Boost utility for LPs
๐Ÿ”น Liquid locking of veTKN
๐Ÿ”น Incentive market for votes

Interesting thought experiment. Would love to see a powerhouse partnership between @terra_money @fraxfinance

๐Ÿงต on below comment from @stablekwon ๐Ÿ‘‡

$LUNA $UST
2/

@CurveFinance is a stable swap AMM and one of its core products is 3pool which is a combo of USDT USDC DAI since the early days
3/

@CurveFinance is not just cheap swaps, itโ€™s critical function is as a โ€œstability schelling pointโ€ serving as a peg stability manager of sorts as @samkazemian points out

Terra $LUNA is top 10 mcap and top 3 TVL without a premium incentivized DEX. That's about to change with @astroport_fi and a new rush of capital into the ecosystem.

1/ A quick ๐Ÿงต on $ASTRO with resources that I found useful to shortcut your research.
2/ $LUNA thesis

In my thesis, I pointed out $ASTRO, along with $MARS would be two of the catalysts for LUNA's next leg of growth.

3/ Who built $ASTRO? and Why?

@Delphi_Digital incubated @astroport_fi

One of it's founders, @ZeMariaMacedo summarizes $ASTRO and it's importance.

What if an AMM ...

โžก๏ธ LP w/ TKN only, no IL risk, no opportunity cost
โžก๏ธ Tokenomics is a liquidity sinkhole
โžก๏ธ Protocol Owns Liquidity over time
โžก๏ธ Most capital efficient
โžก๏ธ Addressable Market is at least 100x soon
โžก๏ธ Coming soon 11/29

@Bancor v3 will be DeFi 3.0
$BNT ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡
/ Bancor v2.1

Before diving into v3, a primer on current v2.1.

No need to repeat - well summed by @0xWangarian

/ v2.1 - What Bancor Proved

โžก๏ธ Extreme demand as pools filled constantly
โžก๏ธ Bancor model easily wins volume share
โžก๏ธ Bancor Vortex natively drives protocol owned liquidity
โžก๏ธ IL protection & token economics work!
๐Ÿค Only $BNT allows you to HODL & LP at same time Image

What if there is an L1? ...
โžก๏ธ More deflationary than $ETH
โžก๏ธ Product is critical for DeFi to scale
โžก๏ธ Wins by collaborating with other L1s
โžก๏ธ Wins bigger with it's own L1
โžก๏ธ As demand grows, price scales exponentially ๐ŸŒ–

It is $LUNA and itโ€™s product is - $UST

๐Ÿงต/ let's dive in
/ Addressable Market

โžก๏ธ Stables are the most important product in crypto.
โžก๏ธ Over $100b mcap only - we are early
โžก๏ธ Centralized stables USDT ($73b) + USDC ($34b)
โžก๏ธ UST at $2.85b (~2.5%)

But if you believe TradFi moves to DeFi rails, there is no ceiling for stables demand
/ DeFi needs a decentralized currency

โ€œThere is demand for a decentralized, price-stable money protocol in both fiat and blockchain economies. If such a protocol succeeds, .. the best use case for cryptocurrencies.โ€
