Can @fraxfinance become the decentralized bank of DeFi?

Fraxlend, FraxSwap, and a new FRAX base pool will flip the switch and trigger FRAX demand

🧵 by @0xpibblez (1/8)
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez 2/ $FRAX supply currently sits at only 20% of DAI's supply. With new developments, FRAX demand could surge 400% before breaking even with DAI.

The value and revenue from this growth, of course, would flow to FXS holders
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez 3/ $FXS holders are currently voting on a $20M revenue-fueled buyback.

With a new TWAMM and FraxSwap, Frax stands to earn even more revenue via a 0.3% trading fee on all swaps.

FraxSwap is a permissionless treasury management tool for DeFi projects to conduct monetary policy
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez 4/ Frax introduced plans for real world asset lending AMOs through its new Fraxlend product, which is set to launch within 7 days.

This will serve as a new, composable primitive that permits both under-collateralized and over-collateralized loans for individuals and protocols
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez 5/ Frax's @curvefinance base pool is up for vote. With Frax providing 1/2 of the 3pool liquidity, a FRAXBP could shake up the state of stableswaps on Curve.

Protocols will gain capital efficiency, and Frax will become a supply sink for CRV
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez @CurveFinance 6/ @ConvexFinance's Frax integration is the best kept secret in DeFi, where users can find several ways to earn CRV, CVX, and FXS rewards.

Frax's CVX holdings have proven to be beneficial in the recent Frax/CRV voting rounds
@fraxfinance @0xpibblez @CurveFinance @ConvexFinance 7/ Despite the UST meltdown, FRAX's collateralization ratio still sits at ~90% and the peg proved resilient, even with recent liquidation events across DeFi.

All developments will translate to more revenues for Frax and more fuel to benefit FXS holders @fraxbull1
8/ For more details about Frax's recent developments and @samkazemian's master plan, read our most recent report:

Making the Avalanche C-Chain Cheap Again.

With stark competition for users and apps amongst L1s and L2s, the Avalanche community is proposing a significant reduction in the base fee.

This 96% fee cut could lead to a 39% - 80% increase in daily transactions.

What is ACP-125? 🧵 Image
@avax 1/ ACP-125 aims to reduce base transaction fees from 25 nAVAX to 1 nAVAX on the C-Chain—a 96% reduction.

The significance of this proposal is that over 80% of transactions cluster at the base fee level implying an overproduction of blocks at a price not matched by wallet demand. Image
2/ We explore several fee reduction events across L1s and L2s to compete for apps and wallets, and their impact on respective ecosystems.

We then perform a fee sensitivity analysis to project the overall and sectoral impact of ACP-125 on Avalanche.

We just made our @Solana dashboard available to everyone 🔥

Let this be your one-stop shop for all things Solana data. Track TEV stats, validator and staker cash flow, transaction activity/segmentation, and more!

Let's take a look at the highlights 👇 Image
This dashboard was made available in collaboration with the @SolanaFndn. You can check it out using the link below!

solana.blockworksresearch.com
TEV tracks the total amount of top-line fee generation for a blockchain, via both in-protocol transaction fees and out-of-protocol tips. Thus it tracks users' willingness to pay for state and blockspace.

Solana TEV erupted higher in 2024, currently sitting at $9m/week. Image

1/ @chainlink is positioning itself to be the dominant infrastructure platform for Real World Assets (RWAs). Surpassing $3B in value excluding stablecoins, the space has seen significant growth in 2024 and is estimated to be as large as $16T by 2030. Image
2/ Tokenized assets will benefit from increased liquidity, programmability, real-time settlement, and composability. For these gains to be realized, RWAs need a universal interoperability standard, as well as access to external data, IoT devices, and enterprise systems.
3/ Chainlink aims to address these challenges through the creation of the Chainlink Platform, providing a host of services necessary for RWA adoption, including cross-chain interoperability (CCIP), data, onchain identity (DECO), and more.

1/ Starting in November 2023, @arbitrum's Short-Term Incentive Program (STIP) distributed around 71M ARB to boost usage and generated 6149.3 ETH in return.

In this analysis, we aimed to assess the STIP’s overall effect on the network by examining its impact on sequencer revenue. Image
2/ The goal of the STIP was to attract users and grow activity to the recipient protocols and the broader ecosystem. An increase in sequencer revenue would indicate a successful program, where the costs of ARB incentives are at least partially offset by sequencer revenue in ETH.
3/ We employed the Synthetic Control method, a statistical technique that estimates causal effects by creating an artificial time series from a control group including other L2 networks to account for external market trends and assess the isolated impact of STIP on Arbitrum. Image

.@paradigm has developed a new node client called Reth that offers both a performance boost for the EVM and a base to develop AVS's for restaking protocols.

Reth stands to be a catalyst for @base, @Optimism and @symbioticfi. But how does it accelerate the growth for the trio? 🧵 Image
1/ Initially, blockchains were a simple network of nodes running software to process, validate, and store transactions. Now, there are modifications of nodes that run a variety of functions, such as for L1s, L2s, MEV, Provers, Eigen AVSs and more.
2/ Reth rebundles the various services and functions mentioned above into a single framework where they can all be modified, run, and maintained via one node. Secondly, it provides a performance module to increase the TPS for EVM L2s.

1/

@AerodromeFi is a "MetaDEX" that combines elements of various DEX primitives such as Uniswap V2 and V3, Curve, Convex, and Votium. Since its launch on Base, it has become the largest protocol by TVL with more than $495B in value locked, doubling Uniswap's Base deployment. Image
2/

Aerodrome's success can be attributed to its unique architecture which aligns incentives between each category of protocol participant, including traders, LPs, and protocols looking to seed liquidity for their token. It does so through its vote-lock governance model.
3/

Participants must lock AERO tokens in order to receive fees. Locked tokens, veAERO, give users the ability to direct protocol emissions to specific pools, where they receive 100% of fees and emissions.
