How is @TheCitadel_DAO going to bring #DeFi to #Bitcoin?
Glad you asked fren

Here's everything you need to know about $CTDL yield strategies, in a language you can understand, so you can be ready for the greatest opportunity for $BTC in DeFi, are you ready ser?
🧵 Image
1/
The Citadel is a Treasury #DAO, built on top of the yield engines;
@BadgerDAO & @ConvexFinance -
$CTDL is a SubDAO to $BADGER

Specifically, it aims to build the treasury with $BTC, $BADGER, $CVX, $bveCVX
2/
I'm going to assume you know about the #CurveWars, as everyone & their grandmother knows about it now

& for those who do not;
check out @cryptoPothu great thread on the $CRV wars 👇

3/
In short, $CRV is the backbone of #DeFi
$CVX is the token that has the most power over the curve ecosystem & in turn, the entire DEFI ecosystem

So you’ve heard of the curve wars, but have you heard about a key players @BadgerDAO? Image
4/
$BADGER main intention is to bring #DeFi onto #Bitcoin & boost bitcoin core development

BADGER has accumulated a $CVX influence of over 1.7M

being 3rd most influential in the $CRV wars, behind $FRAX & $LUNA, but $CTDL is strategically aligned to aid the 4pool with $BTC 🧐 Image
5/
@BadgerDAO vaults have held an average TVL of 600M over the past 16 months, despite turbulent market conditions

All while generating consistent yields for $BTC & $CVX depositors

Here are the 3 Badger vaults that will be integrated into $CTDL 👇 (next tweet) Image
6/
Not impressed by the APRs?
You NGMI with that mindset cos there’s something huge you’re missing…

$ibBTC/crvsBTC is a double sided $BTC pool
meaning, Impermanent Loss (IL) is minimal & is boostable with $BADGER tokens up to 26%

& primarily emits BADGER which is 🗝️to boost Image
7/
Think of $BADGER as a $CRV/ $CVX -like token for the BADGER ecosystem

more BADGER == more yield influence

& if Badger succeeds in bringing #DeFi to $BTC... one can only imagine 🥺

2nd pool- The $bveCVX pool, this is a wrapped version of $CVX with more attractive yield...
8/
thank locking $CVX in convex requires you to lock for 16 weeks, vote every other week, then spend gas on claiming & compounding your CVX

Good-bye profits doing it this way

Whereas, $bveCVX you lock for the same duration & the vault does all the hard work for you while...
9/
maximizing your yields with auto compounding of $CVX & emitting $BADGER

Henlo more attractive yield, right?

Finally, the $BADGER/ $wBTC pool will be integrated in the $CTDL, this pool is a key ingredient as it will generate CVX...
10/
While yes, its a 2 paired LP pool, there will be some IL, though it may be a blessing in disguise... me thinks.

If $CTDL & $BADGER achieve bringing #DeFi to #BTC, we may see them correlate in price?

Even though Badger sits at an 88M market cap to Bitcoins 740B...
11/
This means that when & if #BADGER rallies more than #Bitcoin, BADGER will be sold for $BTC inside the LP… the primary substance of Citadel

These 3 pools are key for the $CTDL in the beginning, the treasury will be built primarily in #BTC -> $BADGER & $CVX
12/
These vaults in $BADGER are built on top of @CurveFinance / @ConvexFinance
i'm sure you're linking the dots, right ser?

All pools profits aid in growing other pools for continuous growth of #Bitcoin, $CVX & $BADGER for the $CTDL treasury

Much wow for the flywheel, eh? ImageImage
13/
The Treasury Strategy & Funding fees will be split as follow;

Though the exact number here will be determined by the elastic emissions... don't know what that is? here's a thread about it 👇

Image
14/
$CTDL will be the largest holder of $BADGER, rest assured we will see close to max boost on the boostable pools

Allowing #CitadelDAO to harness more influence in the BADGER eco

While being a ‘blackhole’ for the BADGER token, taking them off the market forever 👀 Image
15/
So we can look at it this way

$BADGER could be thought of as a base-layer like $CRV, while $CTDL aims to be a $CVX-like token for $BADGER & $bveCVX

$CTDL also going to be a base-layer for other #DAOs with vlCTDL for strategies inside the $CTDL (more on that another day) 🫡
16/
$CTDL will have access to BADGERS $CVX

$BADGER doesn’t 'own its own' $bveCVX.
its $CVX is 'rented' thru incentives (it owns about 10% of its bveCVX)

The challenge here is that if incentives taper, mercenaries may withdraw in search of other opportunities...
17/
which destroys TVL & yield influence.

though incentives can only really dry up if $CVX flops, which doesn't look likely at this point in time, as CVX can only flop if $CRV flops & you think that will happen anon?

still, best to be safe right?
smort 🦡 Image
18/
$CTDL will own all of its own $bveCVX/ $CVX, making the 2 DAOs very influential together in the curve wars.

$CTDL will solve this problem by building its own treasury with $BADGER & $CVX to harness & build consistent growth & yield inside badger & $CRV /CVX
19/
$BADGER aids $CTDL with its rented yield influence
$CTDL aids $BADGER by owning its own yield influence & growing TVL 🤝

Both stronk on their own... Powerful together

you watch ser, DAO2DAO gonna be in force in 2022, already see it with the #4pool (despite price action) Image
20/
Which leads me to express a thought by @0Xsami $BTRFLY founder

#DAO2DAO partnerships are under explored & powering together can solve problems more efficiently

Another reason why i think $CTDL is so special, not only is it D2D, it is D9D 😉... Image
21/
The 9 Knights of $CTDL (strategic partners)
$TRIBE = $RARI & $FEI - @RariCapital & @feiprotocol
$REN @renprotocol
$TOKE @TokenReactor
$ALCX @AlchemixFi
$BADGER @BadgerDAO
$BTRFLY @redactedcartel
$CVX @ConvexFinance
$FRAX @fraxfinance
$JONES @DAOJonesOptions
D9D😉 Image
22/
All 🗝️ players in #DeFi with their own unique value propositions & making moves in the $CRV wars, right anon?

Have a look at the knights cumulative $CVX power.
Out of the 9 knights, 6 are accumulating & have a cumulative power of over 6 million. Much wow
23/
While $CTDL brings #bitcoin to the 4pool
Truly becoming a Citadel for not just retail but DAOs as well

Lets quote Sun Tzu here;
“The greatest victory is one that requires no battle”...

hmmm, why did i choose this one, you ask?
Hint; curve WARS… 😉
24/
Okay, I must tell you, if you are reading this… you are early anon. Very early

CItadel is yet to launch & it's aiming for May with the Knighting Round

I’ll be posting a thread on that very thoon, so make sure you follow @Etherpyr to stay tuned 👇👇👇 Image
25/
Like the thread?
Has @TheCitadel_DAO intrigued your vision of #DeFi, are you bullish on any of the knights?

If so, please help a fren out
RT & ♥️ the first post of this thread to share & aid in building the peoples #bitcoin whale.. $CTDL 👇

26/ FF ♥️

Want to be in the loop about new protocols in the $CRV $CVX ecosystem?

What is @PlutusDAO_io te God of Prosperity, you hear of?

In short, a fusion between
@dopex_io / @DAOJonesOptions - $DPX $JONES
& @CurveFinance / @ConvexFinance - $CRV $CVX

if that doesn't print a picture in your mind, then here's a small 🧵 explaining what $PLS seeks to be
//
2/ $CRV pioneered the 've' mechanic of locking tokens in order to boost liquidity gauges

more veTokens = more boost on your farm

creating incentive to lock tokens from 1-4 years
an infinite blackhole of acquisition of $CRV was created with this, #DEFI dapps began to follow
3/ $DPX pioneered options markets for crypto
$JONES is a DOPEX pro managed fund-like dapp

$CVX acquired majority share of $CRV, enabling users to lock their veCRV without need to lock the tokens up for 1-4 years.

enabling liquidity at a much earlier time, with MOAR rewards

why so bullish on
@redactedcartel

$BTRFLY
(🦋,🦋)

a RE-bread 0//12 (cos 1st one was cryptic unorganized)
1/
to understand why, we need to know a little about $CRV & $CVX.

curve is the most efficient liquid stable coin swap in #DeFi currently with fees roughly 0.02% (much lower then uniswap & sushiswap), also a stablecoin LP farm.
2/
curve offers stablecoin farms to earn yield in $crv tokens, which can then be staked to earn $veCrv which are the tokens used to vote. (stable coin farms have 0 impermanent loss)
