Today marks an important step forward in more closely aligning the growth and use of $USDe with $ENA

The launch of a generalized staking capability for $ENA with @symbioticfi and @LayerZero_Labs is the first step in adding functional utility for $ENA within the Ethena ecosystem Image
Summary:

i) Introduction of generalized restaking modules for $ENA and $sUSDe

ii) $ENA restaking pools within @symbioticfi to secure the Ethena Chain

iii) Immediate 50% reduction of go-forward $ENA inflation for Season 1 campaign participants to support long term alignment
Details in post below:

At present $ENA can be:

i) Locked in Ethena for 30x rewards
ii) Added to PT-ENA in Pendle for ~75% fixed APR Image
The next phase of incorporating $ENA into the Ethena system and adding utility will leverage generalized restaking pools to provide economic security for the Ethena Chain

The first use case is cross-chain transfers of USDe built on the @LayerZero_Labs DVN based messaging system
This is the first of multiple layers of infrastructure and financial applications built upon the Ethena Chain which will utilize and benefit from restaked $ENA modules

mirror.xyz/0x29a99F7Fe080…
Staked $ENA and $sUSDe will be the only newly available assets to deposit in @symbioticfi in the upcoming epoch with the initial LST caps all already filled within hours

Staked $ENA pools will launch on 26th of June
Staked $ENA in Symbiotic will receive the following rewards:

-Ethena 30x per ENA per day
-Symbiotic points
-Mellow points
-Future potential LayerZero RFP allocations (if allocated to Ethena)
The Ethena Chain will host financial applications and infrastructure built upon $USDe as the gas token and fulcrum asset within the system

Restaked $ENA will provide security across these protocols, and in return may be eligible for potential future airdrops at their discretion Image
In addition, as of 17th of June, any user receiving $ENA via airdrop for Season 1 will be required to lock a minimum of 50% of the claimable $ENA in one of the three options outlined in the first section
Failing to do so will result in all of the user’s unvested $ENA attributed to the relevant wallet being redistributed to other users who lock $ENA
To be clear: the intent of the above is to incentivize realignment of $ENA holders from mercenary capital to long term aligned users

None of the $ENA which is forfeited will be retained by the foundation, team or investors - it is solely to benefit ecosystem aligned users

Excited to share one of the most important DeFi integrations for USDe adoption to date

👻 @ethena_labs x @aave 👻

Read below for details on the partnership 🤝
Users are now able to:

i) Deposit USDe and loop their position with other stablecoins on Aave

ii) Deposit stETH, weETH, ETH and WBTC on Aave to borrow stablecoins into Ethena USDe or sUSDe

vote.onaave.com/proposal/?prop…
Users will be able to earn Sats for the following:

i) USDe collateral: 20x
ii) sUSDe collateral: 10x (tbc via governance)
iii) stETH, ETH, rETH, weETH collateral to borrow GHO into USDe 20x
iv) stETH, ETH, rETH, weETH collateral to borrow USDC/T into USDe 10x

As of today Ethena will be live on @Blast_L2 the L2 with native yield 💥

Read below for a list of our app integrations with USDe 🧵
USDe and sUSDe will be live on @ThrusterFi LP pools paired with USDB

Both pools will receive maximum Ethena allocation with 30x sats alongside Blast Gold and Thruster Credits

Users who then stake in @hyperlockfi will receive an additional 5x sats

@Juice_Finance will enable users to borrow up to 3x against their USDB into @ThrusterFi & @hyperlockfi V3 USDe for up to 105x sats and single sided deposits up to 20x sats

To date the sUSDe contract has received protocol yield attributable to assets backing staked USDe, with the protocol retaining the remainder

As of today, the retained portion is reduced to 20%, with the remainder going to the sUSDe contract

As a result sUSDe APY = 37.2% Image
How does this work?

Currently only 15% of USDe is staked in sUSDe

If entire protocol backing generates ~7%, transferring returns from assets backing unstaked USDe to the staking contract increases effective sUSDe APY - with 20% retained, sUSDe APY rises to ~37%
If we assume the average protocol return since launch of 23%, the implied sUSDe yield would increase to ~125%

This is a direct result of the low % of sUSDe being staked, and as the stake rate increased the potential increase in sUSDe will be reduced

Based on community feedback the $ENA liquidity lock has been simplified to further align incentives for longer term participants

Users can now lock $ENA to receive a scaled sats boost up to 100% based on the amount of $ENA locked relative to USDe positions
Locked $ENA will continue to receive the highest rewards at 30x

Doing so will more closely align the growth of USDe with longer term holders

mirror.xyz/0xF99d0E4E3435…
For example, if you hold $1000 of USDe in any position in the ecosystem
-$200 of ENA will provide a 20% boost
-$500 of ENA will provide a 50% boost
-$1000 of ENA will provide a 100% boost

Which will be applied to all USDe and sUSDe holdings
