The Archimedes Flywheel - lv(πŸ›οΈ,πŸ›οΈ)

Why is it better for everyone involved if Archimedes has more lvUSD liquidity? πŸ€”

πŸ’‘ Answer:

More Leverage.

The more liquidity there is in the lvUSD/3CRV pool on @CurveFinance , the more LEVERAGE can be made available to borrowers.

When we say β€œmore leverage”, we mean two things:

βœ… Ability to open more positions
βœ… Ability to open more positions at a higher multiplier

...
/3

Archimedes' lv(πŸ›οΈ,πŸ›οΈ) Flywheel works like this πŸ‘‡

Both sides of βš–οΈ Archimedes benefit WHEN the other is doing well.

So, WHEN LPs earn a higher yield, more LPs join the lvUSD pool, AND Archimedes can then raise the leverage cap for more LTs to join.
/4

πŸ›οΈ When the leverage cap gets raised, there is a new Leverage Round.

AND

πŸ›οΈ LTs can open new leverage yield positions on whitelisted yield-generating assets.
/5

When LTs open new leverage yield positions, they pay fees using their collateral and $ARCH tokens, as well as a performance fee.

These fees reward lvUSD LPs 🫴 πŸ’°
/6

Since lvUSD LPs are needed to start the 🎑wheel, they need to be incentivized appropriately. Archimedes LPs benefit from:

Dynamic $ARCH emissions & Real Yield from πŸ‘‡

πŸ›οΈ LT Origination Fees
πŸ›οΈ LT Performance Fees
πŸ›οΈ Leverage Fees paid in $ARCH
πŸ›οΈ Other incentive tokens
/7

You’ll notice that a lot of our material says

β€œup to 10x leverage”

Emphasis on the β€œup to”.

This is because of the multiplier.

πŸ›οΈ Without enough liquidity from LPs Archimedes can not offer as much leverage to LT users.

OR

πŸ›οΈ As high of a multiplier.
/8

Here’s where G(r)eek Auction game theory comes into play πŸ‘‡

If Archimedes has $5M 3CRV TVL in the Curve Pool -

Then it can provide an approximate 2.5M of leverage and if we use 10x it is 250k as collateral.
/9

This makes Archimedes leverage scarce. πŸ‘€

Large LPs are likely to have more $ARCH tokens, thus they can also bid for leverage with more #ARCH than others might be willing to.
/10

The result of any potential bidding war with $ARCH token caught in between is the same πŸ‘‡

LPs earn more yield from it, which is likely to result in a new turn of the wheel, benefiting all involved 🀝
11/

Whitelisted protocols want to have the leverage allocation to themself.

We see a 🌎world where they can incentivize and bid to get allocation for leverage.

This type of bidding for leverage could start an βš”οΈ $ARCH Wars narrative.

(more on that to follow)
