1/ If you're new to the #DeFi space or just a hardcore #LUNAtic you might be wondering: What's @CurveFinance?
Let's keep it short: Curve was one of the first DeFi protocols on #ethereum and is currently host to the deepest liquidity pools within the $ETH ecosystem.
2/ These LPs are what really enable high-frequency and high volume trading with guaranteed low slippage.๐
This is the bread and butter for every #stablecoin looking to play a major role in the #DeFi space and as such THE place to be (on $ETH) for $UST!
3/ The currently biggest pool on Curve is the "3pool" consisting of $DAI, $USDT and $USDC.
The new 4pool will consist of $UST, $FRAX, $USDT & $USDC and is meant to represent a paradigm shift from the existing 3pool.
Effectively, $UST and $FRAX are teaming up to dethrone $DAI.๐ก๏ธ
4/ As you can imagine, the success of the 4pool is not guaranteed - it is instead largely contingent on liquidity incentives in the form of $CRV emissions.
The higher the emissions are, the more liquidity will be provided to the pool.
By teaming up @terra_money, @fraxfinance & @redactedcartel now hold the majority of governance tokens to redirect liquidity incentives to their 4pool, effectively guaranteeing it the prime spot on @CurveFinance.
6/ The result? $UST is now another step closer to becoming the de-facto standard for decentralized stablecoins on $ETH and in the broader crypto space.
By extension $LUNA holders are one step closer to making the $1000 LUNA dream a reality much sooner than expected.๐
You've heard about @LFG_org buying more and more $BTC to secure $UST, but you're still not sure what these plans mean for $LUNA?๐
Here's all you need to know in six tweets.๐งต
1/ $LUNA is currently and will remain @terra_money's primary reserve currency for all stablecoins, including $UST.
$BTC is being implemented as a secondary reserve currency, to secure $UST in spite of the rising demand volatility created by newer protocols on @terra_money.
2/ $UST will therefore be able to be minted by either
a) Burning $LUNA (current mechanism) or
b) Trading in $BTC (new mechanism).
In both a) and b), a $1 of burnt/traded in $LUNA resp. $BTC grants you one $UST.
