/1 It's time to do again a deep dive into the protocols from the #Synthetix ecosystem.

A 🧵 on 3 innovative projects that leverage Synthetix power👇
/2 In case you didn't see my first 🧵 on this subject, I recommend you to check it before reading this one:
/3 @PolynomialFi

Polynomial is defined as the DeFi Derivatives Powerhouse.

The team is developing 2 different products:

-Polynomial Earn Vaults (that are using automated option selling strategies)

-an options aggregator (buy the options you want at the best price)
/4 Polynomial vaults are using synths for their strategies.

Polynomial Earn will be the first ever option vaults to implement partial collateralization.

Thanks to this, vaults will be able to generate bigger profits for vault depositors without taking higher risks.
/5 There are 3 vaults on Polynomial at this moment:

- Ethereum vault - use an automated call selling strategy

- USD vault - use an automated put selling strategy

- Gamma Vault - tries to profit from short-term volatility(similar to Dopex's Atlantic Straddles👇 )
/6 @aelinprotocol

Aelin is a permissionless multi-chain protocol for capital raises and OTC deals.

Most teams of popular projects are selling the project tokens to VCs at very low prices in order to raise capital.

Aelin is coming up with a better solution.

How does it work?
/6 A sponsor creates a pool where anyone can deposit their funds.

After enough funds are raised, the sponsor negotiates a deal with a project using the pool funds.

If the investors are satisfied with the deal, they are paying a fee to both the sponsor and the protocol.
/7 After the vesting cliff ends(if there's one), the investors get the deal tokens.

This model is interesting because it insures that there will be sponsors interested in negotiating a deal thanks to the fee collected.

Recently, the team also launched "NFT Gated Pools".
/8 These pools allow only the owners of NFTs from a certain collection to deposit funds.

This feature opens up a lot of possibilities. It also brings a new utility to some NFTs.

Aelin isn't very popular right now, but I'm excited to see how it will progress.
/9 @OvertimeMarkets
& @ex0t1c_markets

These 2 products are built on top of Thales Market, a project that I covered in the first 🧵 on Synthetix Ecosystem.

Exotic Markets allows users to participate in positional markets created around an open-ended market question.
/10 e.g. Suppose that you are bullish on Optimism and think that its TVL will be more than $1b TVL in November.

There's a pool that allows you to deposit sUSD and bet on this!

If you're right, you'll earn the collateral of those who bet that Optimism TVL will not be >$1b.
/11 On the other hand, Overtime Markets is a positional market for popular sporting events.

e.g. Using this product you can bet on the outcome of a football match with no KYC and no user registration.

If you're right, you'll earn the collateral of those who bet against you.
/12 That's it!

Synthetix Ecosystem doesn't stop to amaze me.

Even if most of the protocols presented in this 🧵 aren't popular now, they might play an important role in the next bull market.

/1 Everyone loves airdrops.

But how can you prepare for the next big airdrop?

A 🧵 on my strategy and a few popular projects that are likely to airdrop a token soon👇
/2 Some people got life-changing money from airdrops.

For context, the Uniswap airdrop for those who interacted with Uniswap V1 or V2 was worth $16k when $UNI was at all-time high.

It may not look much if you are living in a developed country, but it's essentially free money.
/3 Airdrop strategy

My strategy is simple and efficient at the same time:

-head to defillama.com/airdrops and filter projects by TVL
-access the discord of a protocol from the list
-Search for the word "airdrop"
-scroll down and look for the team statements on this subject Image

/1 @redactedcartel is coming to Arbitrum...

Redacted is the project behind one of the most successful bribe marketplaces.

Here's how I capitalize on this event🧵👇 Image
/2 Redacted

Redacted is a project focused on creating products that empower on-chain liquidity, governance, and cash flow for DeFi protocols.

The products of Redacted are Hidden Hand(a bribe marketplace) and Pirex(a creator of liquid wrappers).

Here's an in-depth 🧵 about it:
/3 Plutus DAO

Plutus DAO is a governance aggregator for Dopex and Jones DAO(the Convex version of Dopex and Jones).

Dopex is the biggest options protocol on Arbitrum and has an incredibly engaged community.

Plutus currently controls 52% of Dopex governance voting power.🤯

/1 Frog Nation played a major role in the 2021 bull market.

A few months after its collapse, @danielesesta is trying to bring it back to life.

Here's what you need to know🧵 👇
/2 Short recap

At the end of 2021, a new narrative started popping out.

It was called "DeFi 2.0.", and most projects that joined this trend offered huge APY rewards for staking.

Among DeFi 2.0. protocols, two of them that stood out were Abracadabra Money and Wonderland.
/3 And guess what: Behind both of them there was @danielesesta, a developer who had the mission to "Occupy DeFi".

And he did it.

He created a collective of protocols called "Frog Nation" which included SushiSwap, Abracadabra Money, Wonderland and
Popsicle Finance.

/1 @traderjoe_xyz just launched the whitepaper of their brand new AMM!

The AMM is called "Liquity Book", and aims to solve the problems encountered by Uniswap V3.

Here's everything you need to know about it🧵👇
/2 Liquidity Book

The whitepaper is a little too technical, but I'll try to simplify it and present the essential parts of their new AMM.

Liquidity Book(LB) arranges the liquidity of an asset pair into price bins.
/3 When swaps are performed, the funds available in a liquidity bin are exchanged at a constant price.

If a swap requires more liquidity than is available in the current bin, it will move to the next bin.

LPs can concentrate liquidity around a price range delimited by 2 bins.

/1 Ribbon Finance is bringing options to the masses!

The protocol vaults earn yield by running weekly automated options strategies.

Here's what you need to know about @ribbonfinance🧵👇 Image
/2 Ribbon Finance is a protocol that helps users access crypto structured products.

Ribbon Vaults are yield-focused strategies accessible to everyone.

The vaults are running a weekly automated options selling strategy in order to earn yield using Opyn options protocol.
/3 Ribbon's vaults currently use 2 different strategies:

- Covered Call - The vault writes out of the money calls

- Put selling - The vault writes out of the money puts

I'll explain how each strategy works down below 👇

/1 non-liquidatable perps, borrowing liquidation protection...

@dopex_io will make all of these possible!

Imagine opening a leveraged position on your favorite DEX without worrying about liquidation price🤩

A 🧵 on Atlantic Options👇
/2 Firstly, you have to understand how Dopex options work.

Atlantic Options are European options(they are cash settled and can't be settled before expiration).

If you bought an $ETH call option and you're in profit, you still can't take profits before the expiration.
/3 If you don't know what is the difference between Call and Put options and how options work, check this 🧵 first:



Now let's get back to Dopex options.
