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.👀
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!
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?🌕
Here's all you need to know in six tweets.🧵
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.
