1/ Meta-aggregators are making the Solana swapping landscape more competitive, improving price execution for users.
Let's dive into this under-discussed sector 🧵
2/ Meta-aggregators like @Titan_Exchange route trades through third-party aggregators such as Jupiter, OKX, and DFlow, as well as off-chain sources like Pyth's Express Relay.
Titan has also developed a proprietary routing algorithm, Talos, registering over $35M in weekly volume.
3/ In April, @KaminoFinance released a meta-aggregator to complement its limit order product.
In recent weeks, OKX has won an increasing share of volume initiated through Kamino Swap.
1/ DATA UPDATE: We're excited to release Hyperliquid as the newest dashboard on @blockworksres.
Built by @0xSharples, the dashboard currently covers Hyperliquid's trading platform, spot trading, and futures trading on HyperCore, as well as a financials section that encompasses both the HyperCore and HyperEVM.
2/ Total revenue has been consistent on Hyperliquid. With the HyperEVM gaining traction recently, it provides HYPE token holders another source of revenue.
Currently, Hyperliquid is on pace to make $600 million in token holder revenue this year.
3/ Almost all of the revenue from Hyperliquid's trading platfrom is from Perps trading. Currently about 3% is derived from spot trading.
1/ Hyperliquid's HIP-3 proposal outlines its evolution towards a foundational liquidity infrastructure platform, enabling permissionless creation of Hypercore perpetual markets by third-party builders.
Learn more about its impact on revenue, builders, and Hyperliquid's vision:
2/ HIP-3 builds on:
HIP-1: Enabled permissionless spot market creation. Developers launched spot tokens on a HyperCore order book, winning "ticker rights" in 31-hour Dutch auctions (USDC bids, cumulative $20M revenue total to Assistance Fund).
HIP-2: Complemented HIP-1 by allowing deployers to bootstrap an automated market maker strategy (Hyperliquidity) for new spot tokens, providing embedded liquidity at issuance.
3/ HIP-3 extends the auction model to perpetual futures, allowing builders to permissionlessly create dedicated HyperCore order books for any asset with an oracle. Winning a 31-hour Dutch auction (bids in HYPE, creating a deflationary sink) grants a one-block window to deploy.
The deployer then defines contract specifications (quote/base asset), the oracle-updater, collateral token, margin tiers, funding frequency, and an optional extra fee up to 50%. For security, a 1M HYPE stake is required which can be slashed.
1/ With over $3B in liquidity, @pendle_fi dominates the vertical in which it operates. Tailwinds are present for growing Pendle’s utilization, distribution, and revenue.
- PTs coming to @aave
- Permissionless listings
- YT take rate from 3% to 5%
- Boros upgrade
🧵
2/ Pendle's PTs can make for highly attractive collaterals on money markets.
Particularly for carry trades, the fixed yield offered by PTs can reduce the variance and uncertainty in the realized yield on the long leg of these strategies.
Historically, @MorphoLabs has won the lion's share of lending against these instruments, given permissionless vault creation.
3/ However, Aave recently passed an ARFC approving the listing of PTs on the main market, beginning with USDe and sUSDe PTs.
As eligible collateral on the largest money market offering a demand venue for growing utilization of the instruments, Pendle's PTs can benefit from broader distribution and utility.
