A solid @samkazemian interview re: @fraxfinance on @theempirepod

He's been consistent with messaging on their mission, a few key points to highlight w/ thoughts

- Mission
- GTM for $frax $frxETH
- $frxETH adoption
- $fxs gov decentralization
- Stealth project "bAMM" 👀

🧵👇 1/ Mission

@fraxfinance focused on being the best on-chain stable coin & currency issuer. They consider this the largest TAM in crypto

The infrastructure they develop is a means to that end - AMM, lending, ferry, etc

KPIs measured by spot demand of their stable coins

An impressive roster of partners, a few thoughts on positioning, partners, and future governance. / pole position

Inclusion of TFL, Delphi, hashed, jump, Arrington show the biggest investors in @terra_money want to see governance work

Imo, it puts @retrogrademoney in pole position for #astrowars

When chatting with founding team, they are methodical & strategic 🧠

@fraxfinance @terra_money 4pool. Hot takes from each camp - curve wars over? dai dies? wen 4pool?

I have a unique pov as I'm the intersection of each camp - curve OG, #lunatic, #fraximalist

🔹 overview of 4pool
🔹 $crv wars season 2
🔹 $cvx math games
🔹 4pool endgame

🧵👇 / overview of 4pool

Getting a lot of q’s on what is the play? Quick 🧵

🔹 $LUNA bullish, $UST peg and demand 📈
🔹 $FXS bullish, $FRAX demand 📈
🔹 $BTRFLY bullish, $UST to farm $ASTRO
🔹 $CVX 👑 maker - ULTRA bullish because top DAOs mentioned have 5%, and not all $CRV votes. In a $CRV war, you need weapons.
$CVX has always been the play for liquidity battlefront 👇

An on-going list of 🧵 I’ve written on projects & narratives.

I didn’t expect followers so 🙏, figured I’d organize.

In crypto since 2013, and VC tech industry since 2008 as a 3x founder and investor. I write from that POV.

Give me a follow if you enjoy or want to connect 👇 / $LUNA

A #LUNAtic since early 2021. @terra_money is my highest conviction bet on my thesis around growth and utility of stable coins in crypto. With $UST as it’s core product, it’s the perfect blend of GTM strategy, product, design, team, community, investors.

Original 🧵👇

$CVX Mega-🧵 and catalysts

🔹 overview
🔹 fundamentals
🔹 catalysts
🔹 community & tools
🔹 summary

I approach things from a product manager mentality because that is what I do, building VC-backed companies for a living.

Let’s dive in 👇 /1

Overview

I did a 90 min chat with @TaikiMaeda2 in early December, sharing with his community an overview of @ConvexFinance and my thoughts.

It assumes knowledge of $CRV so it’s more of a level 2 discussion.

Interesting thought experiment. Would love to see a powerhouse partnership between @terra_money @fraxfinance

🧵 on below comment from @stablekwon 👇

$LUNA $UST 2/

@CurveFinance is a stable swap AMM and one of its core products is 3pool which is a combo of USDT USDC DAI since the early days

Terra $LUNA is top 10 mcap and top 3 TVL without a premium incentivized DEX. That's about to change with @astroport_fi and a new rush of capital into the ecosystem.

1/ A quick 🧵 on $ASTRO with resources that I found useful to shortcut your research. 2/ $LUNA thesis

In my thesis, I pointed out $ASTRO, along with $MARS would be two of the catalysts for LUNA's next leg of growth.

What if an AMM ...

➡️ LP w/ TKN only, no IL risk, no opportunity cost
➡️ Tokenomics is a liquidity sinkhole
➡️ Protocol Owns Liquidity over time
➡️ Most capital efficient
➡️ Addressable Market is at least 100x soon
➡️ Coming soon 11/29

@Bancor v3 will be DeFi 3.0
$BNT 🧵👇 / Bancor v2.1

Before diving into v3, a primer on current v2.1.

No need to repeat - well summed by @0xWangarian

What if there is an L1? ...
➡️ More deflationary than $ETH
➡️ Product is critical for DeFi to scale
➡️ Wins by collaborating with other L1s
➡️ Wins bigger with it's own L1
➡️ As demand grows, price scales exponentially 🌖

It is $LUNA and it’s product is - $UST

🧵/ let's dive in / Addressable Market

➡️ Stables are the most important product in crypto.
➡️ Over $100b mcap only - we are early
➡️ Centralized stables USDT ($73b) + USDC ($34b)
➡️ UST at $2.85b (~2.5%)

But if you believe TradFi moves to DeFi rails, there is no ceiling for stables demand
