psdnOCEAN will be the liquid staking wrapper for veOCEAN. It will allow holders to lock their OCEAN via psdnOCEAN contract and benefit from it in several ways. 💸💰
3/12 🧵
Liquid staking wrappers are not new in #DeFi, in fact, @ConvexFinance is a good example.This protocol allows Curve (CRV) to be locked using the wrapper contract instead of the base contract, providing users liquid staking tokens that represent the locked base tokens.
4/12 🧵
With @ConvexFinance, users receive cvxCRV when they lock their CRV.
H2O is taking a similar approach, with psdnOCEAN as the liquid staking tokens when users lock OCEAN.
5/12 🧵
For OCEAN holders, this is a massive opportunity to hold a transferable token with liquidity as ve tokens are non-transferable.
6/12 🧵
💥 So, what’s in it for psdnOCEAN stakers?
On top of transferability and liquidity of psdnOCEAN, stakers also gain access to a share of the revenue of the veOCEAN locked by psdnOcean and revenue generated through allocation of veOCEAN in #DataFarming.

Second, psdnOCEAN holders can mint H2O with psdnOCEAN. This time, only psdnOCEAN will serve as H2O’s collateral. More types of collateral will be added in the coming months as part of the protocol’s new roadmap.
9/12 🧵
Additionally, PSDN holders can vote-lock their tokens (vlPSDN) to vote on how veOCEAN locked through psdnOCEAN is allocated within Data Farming, which includes the option to delegate voting power.
10/12 🧵
This feature provides PSDN holders the ability to directly influence how the protocol earns revenue from the marketplace.

Wen psdnOCEAN? 👀
Very soon. 😉 More details will follow this week.

Four weeks have passed since the launch of H20 and even facing challenging market conditions in the past few days, we are proud to share some relevant stats of our protocol so far.
Dive into the thread🧵
1/7
Nearly 2 million $OCEAN are locked into the system and used as collateral to mint $H20.
2/7
The current number of Active Safes with non-null debt and/or collateral is 18 and together they have minted 109,087.11/of $H2O so far.

The H2O team is excited to announce using Reflexer's codebase. We feel this is a perfect opportunity to bring algorithmic stableassets to the forefront of DeFi.
Stableassets continue to play an integral role in the development and evolution of the DeFi ecosystem. The annual stableasset adjusted transaction volume for 2021 was over $5 Trillion Dollars, a 370% increase from its 2020 figure.
Stablecoins such as USDT and USDC have recently drawn regulatory scrutiny. This presents an opportunity for more decentralized stableassets such as Reflexer’s (RAI) and H20, a friendly-fork of RAI.
H2O is a data-backed stableasset that will initially operate in the Ocean ecosystem.
Let’s explore how H2O will behave.
A thread 🧵👇
To best understand how H2O behaves, we need to analyse its monetary policy which is make up of four elements:
1. Redemption price: this is the price that the protocol wants H2O to have on the secondary market. The redemption price is used by SAFE users to mint H2O against OCEAN. The redemption price almost always floats and it does not target any specific peg.
