DeFi protocols are generating $1M+ in fees every day in a bear market.

Here’s how you get your share of passive income as the #RealYield narrative takes hold.
Previous cycles were dependent upon inflationary emissions of various governance tokens.

The #RealYield era is focused on sharing of protocol fees.

There's a few choices, let's talk about how to find them. Image
First, you need to find the protocols that are generating the most fees.

This is where you get that info: cryptofees.info

Only certain protocols share fees with holders.
These are the top choices right now:

· $GMX
· $SNX
· $CRV Image
@GMX_IO

GMX is a decentralized perp exchange on @arbitrum and @avalancheavax. You can buy and stake either $GMX or $GLP.

· $GMX - governance token, pays out $ETH, $esGMX, and multiplier points
· $GLP - composed of an index of assets, pays out $ETH and $esGMX. Image
@synthetix_io

Synthetix, found on mainnet and @optimismFND, offers the trading of synthetic assets including RWAs (real world assets).

By staking $SNX, yield is paid out in both $sUSD (their native stable) and $SNX. Image
@ConvexFinance

Built on top of @CurveFinance, Convex offers boosted rewards.

By staking $CRV on Convex, it becomes $cvxCRV. Yield is paid out in $CRV, $CVX, and $3crv (LP token composed of $DAI, $USDC, and $USDT). Image
This new era of DeFi places a focus on sharing of protocol fees instead of just governance tokens.

Token inflation helps bootstrap networks but fee distribution is more sustainable in the long run.

This is the future of DeFi.

The easiest way to amplify gains is to tweak up the risk.

You can 10x your yield farming yields by using this protocol.

📖
Rodeo Finance is the protocol that we'll be talking about today and I'm also excited to announce that I'll be an ambassador for them.

The protocol has immediate utility and by building on products coming out of the Dopex ecosystem, they are GMI.
There are two players in Rodeo: lenders and leverage farmers.

1⃣ Lenders: Users that provide assets to farmers and earn a steady APY that is incentivized with $RDO.

2⃣ Leverage Farmers: Users that borrow funds from Lenders in order to achieve as much as 10x leverage.

On Unlocks

This is where tokens that were previously locked become liquid.

Vesting periods have an established schedule which allows you to prepare.
Unlocks are often selling events because investors want to lock in gains.

To speculate, you can short or buy puts, but that is at your discretion.

Let’s look at the 4 tokens that will be seeing unlocks over the next week. Image

Coinbase Ventures is a gem finder:

• Compound in 2018
• Opensea in 2018
• Synthetix in 2020
• Uniswap in 2020

Let's look at the 4 companies they added to their portfolio this month.

This accomplishes two goals:

✅ Diversity
✅ More lotto tickets

Let’s discuss the four investments that Coinbase Ventures made this past month.

The battle for Layer 2 supremacy between Arbitrum and Optimism rages on.

Let’s look at the key statistics to see who is winning the war.

🧵👇 Image
Arbitrum and Optimism are the two premier rollups on Ethereum.

Rollups inherit the security of Ethereum and offer faster and cheaper transactions than mainnet.

Arbitrum TVL is ~2.5x that of Optimism. Image
Layer 2 solutions (like rollups) offer significantly cheaper transaction costs compared to mainnet.

Sending ETH on Arbitrum is half of the cost of Optimism where a token swap is roughly the same cost. Image

The $PLS Thesis

As $ARB airdrop eve is upon us, speculators are wondering what other projects on Arbitrum are exciting and have room for growth.

Today, I present the $PLS thesis.

🧵👇 Image
@PlutusDAO_io Disclaimer:

I own $PLS, so it’s important that I make it clear that I am biased.

This is just my investment thesis made from the available information.

Conduct your own due diligence and arrive at your own conclusions before aping. Image
Governance Aggregators

The first governance aggregator was Convex who made the decision to stockpile $veCRV.

Needless to say, $CVX was wildly successful in that they created a liquid $veCRV to those that didn’t want to lock their $CRV for 4 years in the form of $cvxCRV.
