2/ @BrokkrFinance originally started out on @terra_money but after the catastrophic events in May during which the #Brokkr team could salvage most of their treasury, they decided to set shop initially on #Avalanche before expanding to additional blockchains in the future.
3/ After the #Terra collapse, the @BrokkrFinance team told me that they wanted to avoid any similar scenario again. They defined security and decentralization as two of the most critical decision criteria regarding a new underlying blockchain which led them to @AvalaunchApp.
4/ @BrokkrFinance's goal is to offer an automated, secure, and simple portfolio-based investment protocol that caters to a “laid-back” investment approach many retail investors are looking for.
5/ To achieve this goal, @BrokkrFinance, a decentralized protocol, offers multiple investment portfolios that automate the use of battle-tested #DeFi protocols.
Each investment portfolio consist of multiple strategies that utilize existing #DeFi protocols for yield.
6/ Investing in a chosen portfolio diversifies the funds across multiple strategies to mitigate the risk of underperformance or even failure of individual strategies.
Eventually, @BrokkrFinance will offer a range of portfolios, catering to different risk appetites.
7/ Initially, @BrokkrFinance plans to start with two different investment portfolios, rewarding investors in $USDC. These portfolios focus on sustainable and diversified returns mitigating market volatility based on proven yield sources on the #Avalanche network.
8/ Portfolio #1: Calm
The first portfolio available after the launch of the Brokkr platform will be called “Calm.”
The Calm portfolio will only be comprised of stablecoins, diversified into multiple liquidity pools, and staking options targeting 5% APY on average.
9/ Portfolio #2: Ambitious
This second portfolio to launch, called “Ambitious,” will consist of multiple delta-neutral strategies that will be neutral to price changes of the underlying assets, currently aiming for 15% APY.
10/ After these two initial portfolios are live, the team plans to focus on adding cross-chain capabilities as well as come up with portfolios that allow dollar cost averaging (DCA) to cater to investors who want to invest smaller amounts of money regularly.
11/ I had the chance to go through a test implementation of the working product together with the team as one of the first users ever. Investing into and withdrawing from the calm portfolio was a breeze as you can see in below demonstration.
12/ What distinguishes @BrokkrFinance from other #DeFi investment platforms is its unique treasury model.
The #Brokkr protocol treasury has three revenue streams:
1⃣ Success fee on strategies
2⃣ Yield generated by the treasury’s investments
3⃣ Swap fees from LP tokens.
13/ Returns from these revenue streams are reinvested into Brokkr’s portfolios as “Protocol-Owned-Capital.
The native protocol token $BRO plays an essential part here, as $BRO stakers lock their tokens in protocol — granting them a share of the treasury — to earn rewards.
14/ After the Terra fallout, the Brokkr team also took the time to optimize some of the protocol-related processes. One example is how unstaking $BRO token works.
Instead of staking and locking as initially planned, Brokkr is introducing a custom unstaking period.
15/ When a user stakes his tokens, they set a custom unstaking period ranging from 14–365 days. The longer the unstaking period, the higher rewards the user receives.
This provides stakers with the highest flexibility depending on their investment timeframe and risk tolerance.
16/ Currently, based on what the team told me, @BrokkrFinance plans the following order of events with the final goal to have an even better #DeFi investment experience live on #Avalanche. 👇
17/ 1. Launch of the “Calm” Stablecoin Portfolio 2. Go live of the Brokkr DAO, including the $BRO liquidity pool and a $BRO Airdrop 3. Boosted Staking Rewards 4. Treasury Bootstrap Event 4. Delta-Neutral Portfolios
18/ 5. 2nd Airdrop to Bulls & ThorGuards NFT Holders 6. Relaunch of the Brokkr NFTs 7. Bonding
Based on the current timeline, the launch of the Brokkr app with the first portfolio live will happen beginning of September.

Let's have a closer look at an upcoming new #DeFi platform built on top of both @THORChain & @terra_money: @BrokkrFinance. Brokkr is a decentralized investment platform with the slogan "your brother in DeFi" and the goal to bring millions to DeFi.
$RUNE $LUNA $UST $BRO
1/ 🧵👇
2/n The @BrokkrFinance team are true THORChads and originally started as a THORChain-focused project, building out the concept of synthetic assets and the necessary front-end for these. Over time they pivoted more towards a product that can also attract the retail market.
3/n This has led them to embrace the possibilities of the @terra_money network, which is currently the second biggest blockchain in terms of #DeFi TVL. Dozens of DeFi primitives have been built on top of Terra, offering many opportunities to sophisticated investors.
3/n I already liked the 2021 edition but @TheSpartanGroup's @SpartanBlack_1 also delivered some interesting ideas for 2022, mainly high-level around Web3.0, #DeFi, OpenSea and Gaming.
2/10
.@VaderProtocol is nothing new - it's rather interesting how it combines existing #DeFi elements. Its story started in summer 2021 and there are plenty of Medium articles since then you can go through. @invaderbaku tells the story in this thread:
1/n Before everyone posts theirs, let me come up with a few high-level #crypto predictions for 2022. These are just some personal thoughts around topics that I care about and, indeed, no investment advice. Will detail some of them later on.
🧵👇 #GameFi#NFTs $LUNA $RUNE #DeFi
2/n Cross-chain interoperability will become a reality. The focus will change from underlying protocols and platforms towards dApps that will be built on cross-chain layers or deployed on multiple chains. Eventually, dApp users won't know and care what underlying chain is used.
3/n Increased focus on applications also leads to more awareness about user experience (UX). This does not only include better UI design but also providing easy-to-use applications that solve real-world problems end-to-end. Think for example of built-in FIAT on/off-ramps.
What is Seignorage? Before being in #crypto I haven't ever heard of this term. 🧵👇
1/8 I tried to explain it in short and will especially highlight at the end of the thread what it means in the context of @terra_money for the relationship between $UST & $LUNA
2/8 Seignorage is the difference between the value of money and the cost to produce and distribute it. For coins, it is the face value of the metal plus the minting cost, for paper money it is mostly the production cost. The creator/issuer has traditionally been the government.
3/8 If the seignorage is positive (e.g. it only costs a few cents to produce a $100 bill) the revenue accrues to the issuer.
For coins, it can more often be negative, for example, if the metal value of a silver coin is worth more than the face value.
THREAD @anchor_protocol now supports $bETH as collateral with the help of @LidoFinance, allowing you to borrow $UST to either deposit directly at Anchor for 20% APY or farm on other venues like @mirror_protocol. $LUNA $ETH $ANC
But how you ask? Find a short guide below 🧵👇
1. You need to convert your $ETH to $stETH (staked Ethereum 2.0) either via @LidoFinance at directly stake.lido.fi (staking rewards 5.6% APY will later go to aUST holders)
2. Or you just swap your $ETH for $stETH on @CurveFinance at curve.fi via the respective ETH/stETH pool - slippage currently is low but always check before swapping
