$EIGEN True Float

Now that it is public, I am happy to share my findings.

One week ago, I discovered that 40% of all $EIGEN staked tokens came from just 13 investor addresses.

In the meantime, the public was unaware of this practice and believed these tokens were in circulation, leading to misleading conclusions about the token's float and, consequently, investment decisions.

In essence, this situation mirrors what happens with $TIA, where locked investors can stake their tokens and receive unlocked rewards. There's a key difference here though: ,so far, there is minimal staking activity from all investors -- this could change though

Coincidentally, 8 hours ago, all of these 13 wallets started the unstaking process and therefore won't receive staking rewards.

I believe having transparent disclosures is crucial for investors, and I'm pleased to see that the team addresses this issue recently.

I'm glad my work helped bring transparency to the space, and I hope this encourages best practices going forwardImage
feel free to check all of the data in this dune dashboard, made it a public good l

- airdrop claims
- staking activity
- unstaking queue
- protocol tvl flows
- staker outliers (investor addresses)

One of the reasons I didn’t want to tweet this publicly when I first found out about it is that I couldn’t see a viable path where it wouldn’t instigate FUD over the project, which I’m heavily bullish over the next years.

Currently, MakerDAO holds 82% of the $GUSD supply after their partnership with Gemini to receive 1.25% yield on it

What if Gemini Earn assets, part of which are supposed to back $GUSD, were loaned out to Genesis and they lost it, hence the stablecoin isn't fully backed anymore?
what would be the implications to @MakerDAO ?

this is the response of a risk core unit team member btw after questioned about it a month ago

i think he didn't expect @cameron's tweet today, which clearly implies that Gemini's situation is way worse than people initially thought Image
@MakerDAO @cameron how will they honor redemptions if the money supposed to back it isn't there anymore?

1/ The Shangai Upgrade is coming, and with it there's an emerging LSD narrative (Liquid Staking Derivatives)

here's the most important info regarding every ETH LSD:
2/ Despite having a considerable market share, Stakewise and Stafi market caps are still under $20m

their tokenomics aren't the best though, as there is still a considerable portion of the supply to be unlocked as team/investors' allocation and liquidity mining rewards
3/ If we analyze the market share/MC ratio (which is better the higher it is), it looks even more impressive, with the two tokens standing just behind the market leader, Lido

1/ Here is an overview of the Real Treasury of the top protocols, without considering their native tokens

this is the best proxy to evaluate a protocol's financial health and ability to withstand the bear market , a thread: Image
2/ if we consider native tokens, their financial health may look much better, but in reality these protocols aren't able to cash it out since trying to sell as little as 10% of the treasury would make their token crash as far as 90%,so the numbers below are simply a facade Image
3/ in % terms here's how it looks

we can see that Uniswap, Aave, ENS and Sushiswap have over than 94% of their total treasury in their own tokens

this can potentially be dangerous for protocols that pay the employees salaries through the treasury and i explain it below Image
