1/ This is one of the wildest things right now in #AVAX#DeFi. @steakhut_fi just launched a vampire attack against @vector_fi. But it is such a scorched earth approach, who knows what will happen. 🧵 #joewars $joe $ptp $vtx $steak
2/ Vector is absolutely dominating these #JoeWars, the kingpin narrative has worked well for them & they have a great team and community.
3/ Steakhut which ranks second in locked $joe after vector has launched a $zjoe blitz. Users can zap their $zjoe, a staked Joe derivative on vector, for any LP and get bonus $Steak. medium.com/@SteakHut/stea…
4/ Steakhut is obviously selling that zjoe for the LP & diluting their own token as the reward. While it hurts steak to dilute, it also hurts Vector since dumping into the zJoe/Joe LP could lead to it losing peg. $zjoe peg has been holding up quite well.
5/ Although exciting, it will be tough to take down a juggernaut like Vector. Still crazy seeing vampire attacks from these yield aggregators.

1/ Many have written about the Curve wars & VE-tokenomics. Here, I make the argument the largest growth in value will be in yield boosting dApps, what I call The "VE" Middle Fat Thesis. #avax $eth $crv $cvx $link #defi $PTP $VTX $ECD #PTPpartycanoecapital.substack.com/p/the-ve-fat-m…
2/ VE-tokenomics arose from years of failed attempts to reward liquidity providers (LPs) with native DeFi tokens. While, vote escrow (VE) doesn't solve that, it combines governance, yield boosting and token lock-ups in a single token (delaying the problem).
3/ This model also allows yield boosting protocols like @convexfinance, @vector_fi & @echidna_finance to be built on top. The assumption is usually these L2 dApps will capture less value. In the VE-model I predict they have the highest potential for growth because:
