@korpi87 sums up well. Reality is $dai out of 3crv != death
It just means no more free lunch. $mkr has to participate in #curvewars just like everyone else to succeed. That's a good thing, but not a catchy 'dai must die' π€·ββοΈ
@samkazemian mentioned $cvx is the professional money management for $crv. It's actually more than that. It introduces several layers to $crv game play π§
Each layer mentioned is independent - money manager, renting, owning.
You can participate in none, 1, 2 or all 3. That is the beauty of $cvx. But if you do all three - roi π. It becomes a competitive advantage *by design*, show math pls?
What happens when 67% of bribes go to 1 pool?
rd 14 ex - $10.8 bribes => $16.8mπ emissions, liquidity black hole. POL of $frax $ust more lucrative $crv $cvx emissions.
$ust $frax scale $crv while maintaining peg together
/ 3crv effects - the math
If $dai removed, they'll just have to incentivize like everyone else - or risk losing ground to other stables protocols.
But in all this hoopla, @joey__santoro asked the right question. What about decentralization? Wasn't the point of $ust $frax to remove dependence on centralized stables like $usdc $usdt? Have we lost the plot?
πΉ Establish 4pool
πΉ 3crv pools => 4pool
πΉ $ust grows on on/off ramps, $frax $ust focus on defi utility
πΉ $ust $frax new defacto d2pool when less reliant on $usdc $usdt ramps
/ key takeaways
πΉ $crv wars not over, just evolved
πΉ $luna $frax don't need to own any $cvx, just the majority of the bribes
πΉ $cvx π ownership + POL makes π‘ stronger π₯
πΉ @terra_money@fraxfinance will grow $crv, and $cvx is the levered play π°
Getting a lot of qβs on what is the play? Quick π§΅
πΉ $LUNA bullish, $UST peg and demand π
πΉ $FXS bullish, $FRAX demand π
πΉ $BTRFLY bullish, $UST to farm $ASTRO
πΉ $CVX π maker - ULTRA bullish because top DAOs mentioned have 5%, and not all $CRV votes.
An on-going list of 𧡠Iβve written on projects & narratives.
I didnβt expect followers so π, figured Iβd organize.
In crypto since 2013, and VC tech industry since 2008 as a 3x founder and investor. I write from that POV.

/ $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 itβs core product, itβs the perfect blend of GTM strategy, product, design, team, community, investors.
@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, itβs critical function is as a βstability schelling pointβ 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 𧡠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.
