Let’s talk DeFi yield. What are the types (and sources) of yields in DeFi? How we are headed towards a more sustainable model, with #realyield. In this #visualthread, we will discuss all you need to know about DeFi yield.

4/ Easy come easy go.

It used to be common in #DeFi to see sky-high (1,000+%) #APYs that do not make sense to your normies. They wonder, how and where does the #yield come from? They’re right, it doesn’t make sense — mostly derived from price and easily falls upon dilution.
5/ Types of yield.

There are two main types of #yields — 1) token-specific yield and 2) token-agnostic yield. The former is comparable to CAC in Web2 and the latter is relevant to cash flows in Web2.
6/ Token-agnostic yields.

Token-agnostic yields are driven by demand for the underlying product/service offered by a project, and thus they are (generally) more predictable and sustainable.
7/ Token-specific yields.

When used correctly, they are a strong tool to bootstrap networks (i.e., solve the ‘cold start’ problem). However, this model relies on speculators and thus is not as robust as token-agnostic #yields.
8/The balance.

The two types of yield can (and should) coexist, to bootstrap and sustain growth. Finding the right balance is not at all an easy task, and each project has to find its own.
9/Yield aggregators (YA).

YA operate in vaults (pooled capitals). By working in vaults, relevant fixed costs (e.g., network fees, etc.) are shared among depositors and enable a higher compounding frequency. Broadly speaking, they help adjust risk profiles or maximize yields.
10/ #RealYield.

Real yield will be more than a trend/narrative, it will be a necessity (for most models at least). Real yield models would enable more “realistic” or fair valuations of these projects based on their earnings/ perceived values.
11/ PMF?

Real yield is considered compulsory as it provides us with another dimension, to more easily distinguish which projects are sustainable and which are not. However, distributing value too early may hinder the potential growth trajectory of a project.
12/ The future.

To reiterate, a mixture of both incentive methods should be used simultaneously. Each project should find its own balance, only can the true value of tokens be highlighted.

1/ #GM and #MerryXmas!

What is @Treasure_DAO? What is @playbridgeworld? How does @Treasure_DAO keep all of their long list of connected games cohesive (hint: $MAGIC)? In this #visualthread, we will discuss how @Treasure_DAO aims to be the ‘decentralized gaming ecosystem’.
2/ Let’s take a brief overview of the whole @Treasure_DAO ecosystem. Multiple NFTs and #games are connected to Treasure, but at its core, stands @playbridgeworld.

Complete list of @Treasure_dao cartridges:

#GameFi #Web3 #Blockchain #NFT
3/ @playbridgeworld is where $MAGIC is mined (emitted). The whole process is gamified using social coordination and gameplay mechanics.

1/ #GM! Henlo!
What is @berachain? What is Proof of Liquidity? How do their native tokens play together? Who’s building on their ecosystem? In this #visualthread, we will discuss how @berachain plans to build a #DeFi-native chain.

@itsdevbear
@SmokeyTheBera

$BGT $HONEY $BERA
2/ What is @berachain? Bera is an EVM-compatible L1 built using the @cosmos SDK. Proof of Liquidity and the @Tendermint_Core consensus mechanism powers their chain.
3/ #Liquidity is on-chain gold, it’s what started the @CurveFinance wars, vampire attacks, etc. It’s even more important on the chain-level. It's inevitable that people will flock and migrate liquidity to the most exciting/profitable avenue.

1/ Introducing, #ReHash, a new initiative by me and @archipelabro to produce more structured and in-depth memos on projects. Our first #ReHash, focuses on @ribbonfinance. We’ll cover a general overview of their product, space and our thoughts on it.

1/ What is LandX ($LNDX)? How does it work? How does it bring sustainable yields, and how does it overall increase financial inclusivity? Today’s #visualguide, in collaboration with @landxfinance, will answer all the above questions.

#DeFi #RealYield #RealFi #Agriculture Image
2/ You’re probably not that familiar with the problems of traditional farmland financing. The difficulty and opaqueness of the process hinders the farmer’s maximum productivity. Image
3/ @landxfinance involves three main actors: (1) investors, (2) validators and (3) farmers/landowners. Validators act as a bridge between (1) and (3), investors are those who seek exposure to yield-bearing commodities. Image

1/ #GM! What is modularity? how can it solve the data availability? How does it unlock the potential of scalable networks?
Find out in our #visualguide: The Age of #Modular #Blockchain Part 1.

2/ Blockchain networks by design faces the 'Blockchain #Trilemma'. Decentralized networks can only provide two of three aspects at any given time with respect to decentralization, security, and scalability.
3/ To achieve scalability, decentralized network must solve the data availability problem. Data availability refers to the idea that all transaction-related data is available to nodes on the blockchain network, but this process is resources incentive and causes network bottleneck
