1/ Inside The Episode: #FantomUnchained Ep. 45

- The bull case for @SpookySwap V2 Farms...🧵

I'll outline:

- Brief SpookySwap Background
- Why V2 Farms Matter
- The Impacts of the Upgrade
- Longer term POV on $BOO
2/ As a co-host of #FantomUnchained...

I'm always amazed by the deep knowledge of our crew. Further, the amount I learn on a WEEKLY basis!

In Episode 45, @0xBebis_ detailed his thoughts around why the @SpookySwap farm migration to MasterChef V2 is such a big deal long term...📈
3/ Currently, there are 76,000+ $BOO token holders on $FTM, of which, I'm one!

I read @SpookySwap medium article on Farm Migration...

But, I learned far more about its POTENTIAL benefits from @0xBebis_ explanation of its POTENTIAL impacts. Let's dig in!

spookyswap.medium.com/spookyswap-far…
4/ @SpookySwap is an (AMM) / (DEX) on the #Fantom Network

Overview:

- #1 protocol by TVL on $FTM ($120MM)
- #1 DEX by volume on $FTM
- #1 DEX by revenue per D/W/M on $FTM
- #1 desired farm listing destination on $FTM

Also were a TOP 5 DEX (all chains) during the last bull!
5/ FYI: @SpookySwap takes a swap fee of 0.2% on all swaps...

0.17% of every swap goes to liquidity providers. This is a sustainable long term yield for LP's

0.03% of fees goes to buyback $BOO & perpetuates the value increase of single sided staked $BOO: known as $xBOO
6/ So, why do V2 farms matter?

They:

1. Take pressure off $BOO token to maintain liquidity
2. Enable protocols to emit their token on $FTM largest DEX
3. Automate reward workflow: cost efficiency + time
4. Drive success independent of product
5. Make the $BOO token stronger
7/ Impact 1: Taking Pressure off $BOO to Maintain Liquidity

@SpookySwap has been subsidizing their liquidity via their $BOO token since day 1

With multi-rewarders, farms can now attract users without high $BOO (only) APRs - slowing native token inflation via farm emissions…
8/ @SpookySwap hosts farms with big name $FTM native & non-$FTM native protocols...

With the V2 upgrade; farms for large protocols such as $LINK, $WOO, $gALCX, $MULTI and/or newcomers can be incentivized natively...

This allows Spooky to drive user adoption via partnerships!
9/ Impact 2: Enable protocols to emit their token on $FTM's largest DEX

As mentioned, @SpookySwap is arguably the most desirable DEX to be listed on $FTM, the same goes for a Spooky hosted liquidity farms...

The upgrade should benefit protocols big & small...

But how?
10/ Protocols in DeFi need a few things to survive: deep liquidity, low trade slippage & increased token holders

As @0xBebis_ points out, protocols are likely going to be "emitting their tokens anyway"...

What better place to do it than $FTM #1 DEX?

Increasing user eyeballs!
11/ Partner protocols instantly benefit from the value of @SpookySwap's size, plus the demand of their ever-growing user base...

For large protocols, this likely means deeper liquidity for their LPs

For smaller protocols, it means they can draw immediate attention to their farm
12/ Impact 3: Automate reward workflow: cost efficiency + time

With the permissionless nature of the multi-rewarder, developers will have more tools to add their own LP rewards instantly

This is going to save time for both @SpookySwap & their partner protocols...

Time = Money
13/ Previously, adding incentives from another project required utilizing Partnered Staking through $BOO governance to receive a higher $BOO farm weight

SpookySwap Biz Dev likely had to submit gov. proposal

Now, governance approval is not needed. This is a productivity driver
14/ By eliminating busy work, @SpookySwap can focus on other, potentially more important tasks or potentially ROI driving initiatives!

This also means @SpookySwap is now easier for partners to work with...

Being easy to work with usually translates into greater partnerships!
15/ Impact 4: Drive success independent of products

Speak of Biz Dev & Marketing...Heavy development isn't required to actualize success with V2

It's Marketing & Business Development, which is relatively INEXPENSIVE work

Like most, I want to invest in profitable protocols...
16/ If @SpookySwap V2 farms can drive organic growth, without the dependence of executing on additional product roadmaps (driving higher costs), then you have a recipe for profitability success!

Spooky has one of the best Biz Dev teams on $FTM led by @OwenP30 - sky's the limit!
17/ Impact 5: Make the $BOO token stronger

With LP rewards now denominated in another token (not $BOO), $BOO can organically become less inflationary

Organically less "just another farming token"

Protocol managers try to make their token more successful, this can do that!
18/ Further, looking at the $BOO emissions schedule...

$BOO has a Total Maximum supply of 13,666,000

About 70% of $BOO tokens have been emitted (nearly 9.3MM tokens in circ.)

The remaining tokens will be emitted over 3 years. As shown, the weekly emissions curve has slowed...
19/ With partner incentivized LPs, @SpookySwap can be smarter with how they use their remaining $BOO emissions. Partner incentives can drive demand!

This upgrade also helps solve the "what happens when native emissions end?" dilemma

Partner tokens can drive APR longer term 🤝
20/ Quoting @0xBebis_ in Ep. 45:

"It's really all about making the small changes necessary to get demand growth higher than supply growth. This gives them the tool they need to do that…They're kind of sticking to the SushiSwap playbook, but executing a little bit better"
21/ Cont.

"I think this brings a new horizon over the next 2, 3, 4 month for @SpookySwap. The revenue they're generating isn't diminished by supply growth or inflation of the $BOO token. There will come a point where demand growth surpasses supply up to the $10, $20 mark" *NFA*
22/ Couple the aforementioned upgrades/benefits with the deflationary tokenomic model of $xBOO

- 0.03% of fees goes to buyback $BOO

You have a net positive price impact for $BOO tokens LT

FYI: $xBOO buyback has exceeded $BOO emissions multiple times when trade vol. is high 👇
23/ In reality, these V2 farm upgrades a VERY simple move by @SpookySwap...

But, the potential is astronomical & a lot of the potential is not tied to further development

Personally, I love the simplicity. I love cost and time savings. I love the benefits this brings for $BOO
24/ I'm increasingly bullish about the biggest DEX on $FTM in @SpookySwap...

The professional nature in which they operate gives me confidence this team is here to become a #DeFi staple for years to come...

What is clear: the $BOO lifecycle has only just begun. Welcome to V2!
25/ THANK YOU to the #FantomUnchained crew for continually explaining that which lies below the surface 🤝

Thanks to @0xBebis_ for the combination of technical & tokenomic knowledge he brings to the equation!

From all of us @FTMAlerts we thank YOU for riding with us always 🤜🤛

1/ If you watched #FantomUnchained, the $FTM man (@FTMAlerts), discussed an interesting indicator in Dollar Currency Index: DXY.

I'm no macro economist. But, I can read 🙃 so I did some digging 🧵

Here is a historical chart of US GPD vs. DXY ending in 2020 = moving correlation!
2/ In 2021, when this chart was released GPD fell YoY:

2020 = -3.4% GDP (red decline)

2020 was the worst year for economic growth since WWII, coronavirus ravaged factories, businesses & households.

The chart maker expected 2021 to continue GPD decline (I.E. DXY headwinds)...
3/ BUT, thats not how it went.

2021 saw real GDP grow 5.5 percent, the fastest pace for any year since 1984, fueled by increased inventory investment and increased service spending.

2021 GPD = +5.5% (factoring in inflation)

With GPD growth, DXY rocketed 🚀 (bottom yellow box)

1/ $FTM Daily stats for 4-25-2022 🧵

🚨 Total TX: 755,069
⏰ AVG Block Time (TTF): 1.22s
🧱 Total Blocks: 70,604
👻 New Wallets: 9,065

$FTM fam, I can't deny the current price action pain. I feel it, you feel it, we all do. How we band together now sets the tone for the future!
2/ In dark times it’s easy to lose sight of progress. The trollers & fudders emerge from their mums basement spreading fear to perpetuate the division of community…

It’s easy to lose confidence in these moments.

However, I'm reminded $FTM is still making great progress...
3/ @FantomFDN continually strives to make #Fantom network better. They've released the of the new fWallet with multiple upgrades:

- Modern UI
- Management of Fantom ecosystem tokens
- Simplified on-chain governance voting
- In-wallet swap & bridge
- Redesigned staking interface

1/ Are you seeing the vision of @beethoven_x develop before your eyes? 🧵

It's mind blowing what's going on! Taking a closer look...

They've released the new '4 Pool', the brain child of @stablekwon & the potential future of multi chain stable liquidity. No joke, all chains...
2/ This pool can easily end up becoming the king of Curve stable liquidity quickly

Now, it lives natively on $FTM!

Importantly, it could be a TVL vacuum for @beethoven_x for super deep stable liquidity...

But, it's the technical innovation that I'm seriously marveling over!
3/ The power of @BalancerLabs technology is now being showcased in its greatest form to date 🤯

A. Linear pools - wrapped tokens being sent to Yearn
B. Weighted pools - make this '4 pool' possible
C. Boosted pools - the sustainable layer APR innovation

Only from @beethoven_x 👆

1/ Quarterly Business Reviews, 'QBRs', we’re huge in my old life

Evaluating current vs. future state of biz health, growth opps. & strategy evals.

With the close of Q1 2022, I see a new paradigm developing on $FTM & w/ its bluechip DeFi protocols...

The $FTM 'V2' Future 🧵
2/ 2021 was a coming out party for $FTM

@FantomFDN showcased their leadership & gained our trust

@FTMAlerts hit 100K+ followers via ecosystem education & community (YOU!)

And our DeFi bluechips established their identities…$FTM TVL grew to 8.4BB, 5th largest chain overall
3/ With excitement, our QBR will focus on the $FTM 'V2' narrative…

Much like the maturation of DeFi Summer to DeFi 2.0...there are signs & signals all over, that we are headed towards the next wave of maturity on $FTM

The breadcrumbs are everywhere, truly too many to showcase!

1/ $FTM fam, it's threadooor time! If you're like me, you may have noticed a recent trend:

Ethereum giants are coming to $FTM 📈

Now, @AlchemixFi V2 is nearly here!

Let's breakdown 🧵:

- What they do
- Why they're choosing $FTM
- What they'll bring
- Launch & Big Picture
2/ For those unfamiliar with $ALCX:

@scupytrooples is the founder, a web3 legend & DeFi 2.0 pioneer of the space. Yet another great Dev comes to $FTM

Importantly: Alchemix offers Self-Repaying Loans that allow you to leverage a range of tokens without risk of liquidation...
3/ By borrowing a synthetic version of the asset you deposit you'll avoid the risk of liquidation. Using your collateral they earn yield on your behalf to pay off your loan.

This concept has made them a giant in DeFi...

They currently have $713MM in TVL on Ethereum!
