🌟: Let me introduce you to Y2K Finance, the next great Arbitrum project.

What is @y2kfinance ? How does it work? And how it could have saved you from the #LUNA collapse?

A thread (🧵)

#Ethereum #Arbitrum #L2s #crypto #altcoin Image
1-What is Y2K Finance?

@y2kfinance is a suite of structured products designed for exotic peg derivatives. It will allow market participants:

📌To Hedge
📌To Speculate

On the risk of a particular pegged asset
2-Why is Y2K concerned with pegged assets?

#Y2K believes there is a fundamental mispricing in the risk associated with pegged assets.

Recent de-peg events like $UST or $stETH and fear-based runs on $USDT have shown the risk is much higher. UST de-pegstETH de-peg
The top three #stablecoins (USDT, USDC, BUSD), account for over 17% of total #crypto marketcap.

Stablecoins and other pegged assets will continue to grow, which is why #Y2K felt to be an essential component in the #DeFi ecosystem. Image
3- What are the Y2K products?

#Y2K will start with 3 main products:

🌊Tsunami:

It is a Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) powered lending market for pegged assets with MEV-proof liquidations.
🔥Wildfire:

Providing a secondary market for the trading of tokenized risk. This on-chain orderbook permits you to trade #Y2K risk tokens in order to:

📌Unlock liquidity
📌Allow the repricing of semi-fungible tokens
⛰️Earthquake:

It leverages a variant of the ERC-4626 standard for the creation of fully-collateralized insurance vaults.

Users can use these vaults to hedge, speculate & underwrite the volatility risk associated with various pegged assets. Image
4-How does the Earthquake vault work?

Before taking a concrete example to explain the Earthquake vault, you need to know that:

📌Each vault has 3 properties: Asset, Epoch & Strike.
📌Users fund insurance vaults with $ETH
What are asset, epoch & strike?

➡️Asset: Specific pegged asset the vault is trading

➡️Epoch: Start & end date of the vault

➡️Strike: How far from peg the asset price needs to deviate to trigger a liquidation event & a payout to the Premium vault depositors.
Before the #UST collapse, you could have used #Y2K to hedge your UST position or speculate on the de-peg

For instance, let's say that this vault monitors $UST for 30 days with a strike price of $0.97
Users who purchased insurance will receive the collateral $ETH that was placed by speculators if #UST depegs to $0.97.

On the contrary, speculators who put #ETH into the vault will generate yield & collect the premium from the insurance purchasers Image
5- At launch which token will be available?

The following tokens will be introduced at launch and will be represented by vaults on Y2K:

$DAI
$MIM
$USDC
$FEI
$FRAX
