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:

1/ Solana just wrapped up its best year yet, and 2025 is set to be just as explosive:

- Firedancer is on the horizon
- Block size will increase (IBRL)
- Top ecosystem for new developers

Let's dive into the data 👇 Image
2/ In December 2024, Solana recorded $348 million in net inflows from other ecosystems.

This amount was exceeded only by Base and Hyperliquid, which saw $1 billion and $711 million in net inflows, respectively. Image
3/ SIMD 207 was approved by core developers, raising the block limit from 48M to 50M CUs.

While conservative, this change sets the stage for more aggressive block limit increases in the future, enhancing network bandwidth and scalability. Image

1/ @Base has emerged as a dominant L2, suggesting that Coinbase's distribution advantage is translating into sustainable ecosystem growth.

In just a year and a half since launch, a thriving ecosystem of applications is beginning to emerge...🧵 Image
2/ Base pulled in more inflows than Solana over the last 90 days.

It's flipped Arbitrum in TVL, leads L2s in daily transactions, and matches both in stablecoin market cap.

The growth curve is getting steeper. Image
3/ @AerodromeFi owns the DEX landscape, commanding 62% market share vs Uniswap's 29%.

The protocol's dominance looks sustainable heading into 2025. Image

1/ With elevated funding rates and demand for leverage, @Ethena_labs' sUSDe has been paying out returns in excess of 27% APY.

Given this attractive return, the circulating supply of sUSDe has grown over 100% since October.

Where is all this sUSDe being utilized? 🧵 Image
2/ @pendle_fi is perhaps the largest beneficiary of the growth in sUSDe supply, holding over 1.8B in sUSDe, or 48% of the circulating supply.

750M of this sUSDe is held in the December 25th, 2024 market, set to mature in 2 weeks. Image
3/ Second to Pendle, sUSDe deposits on @aave have reached 1B, with over 99% of that being added in the past month.

Aave has progressively lifted supply caps on sUSDe, with each increase being filled almost instantly.

These deposits account for 26% of sUSDe circulating supply. Image

1/ Privacy isn't just a feature in crypto.

It's the key to unlocking trillions of dollars in institutional capital, AI advancement, and ultimately mass adoption.

In a report sponsored by @nillionnetwork, we explain why privacy is crypto's sleeping giant...🧵 Image
2/ The Crypto Privacy Stack has 3 layers:

1⃣ Applications
2⃣ Infrastructure
3⃣ Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs)

Each layer builds on the next to enable private, secure computation and storage. Image
3/ The future of AI needs privacy.

Personalized AI agents will handle everything from emails to health data,
but who wants Big Tech having all this info?

Privacy-preserving tech is the solution to unlock AI's full potential.

1/ Over the last month, onchain stablecoin supply has increased by approximately $20B.

This increase has happened almost exclusively on Ethereum. Image
2/ These flows are coming from centralized exchanges.

Over the past month Ethereum has seen consistent inflows, some days topping $1B. Image
3/ Although these flows could be moving to Ethereum before bridging to L2s, it is more likely they are moving here to capture yield from elevated lending rates.

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.
