As the month comes to a close, I've curated the top 5 threads that demystify DeFi, yield strategies, and the dynamic world of AMMs and structured products.
Explore fixed APR conversions for DeFi assets & learn to maximize returns using tactics like discounted GLP purchases, fee distributions, cashing in future interest & LP for higher swap feesπ§
Explore Dopex's Atlantic Options and learn how collateral efficiency is improved with fixed expiry dates and the ability to move collateral while contracts remain open.
Devin looks into how @Uniswap acts as a one-sided options market where LPs sell volatility w/o fair compensation, and how implied volatility acts as key metric for pool performance & the connection between LP positions & options.
Specifically, Uniswap algo replicates the negative delta of long put options on its held assets thru dynamic hedging, enabling Uniswap to hold short put options on its reserves.
Look forward to Pt. 2 on how to determine if LPing is positive EV based on volatility.
He explains the Pendle's architecture with practical examples & how it allows users to lock in interest rates & speculate on the rate expectations, making it an ideal tool for yield-bearing assets
