First entry to the "Basic Bizyugo" series, we'll talk about Automated Market Maker (AMM) protocols.

This will be a long one as we'll go through all the unique AMM protocols and their features along with each of their important analytics.

AMM Mega Thread 🧵🧵🧵 (0/92) 1/ If you don't know or forget how AMMs work, I recommend you to read this article by @Nikopolos on @CoinDesk

AMM protocols that we'll be discussing here:
• Uniswap
• Curve
• Balancer
• Velodrome
• Trader Joe

You've heard of PoWork, PoStake, delegated PoS, PoHistory.

Now, take a look at this new innovative L1 that uses 'Proof-of-Liquidity' 👀
'Next Generation of Liquidity'

Here's an overview of @berachain 🧵🐻⛓️ (0/12) 1/ @berachain is an upcoming EVM-compatible L1 #buidl using @cosmos SDK, utilizing @Tendermint_Core and Proof-of-Liquidity consensus mechanism.

We got yield aggregator, lending aggregator, DEX aggregator, now is the time for lending pool optimizor!!!

@MorphoLabs gives you the same liquidity and risk parameters but improved APY! 💸💰

Here's an overview 🧵🦋🧵 1/ @MorphoLabs is peer-to-peer layer built on top of peer-to-peer lending protocols such as @AaveAave and @compoundfinance but with improved rates for both borrowers and lenders 🔥

Do you like leverage? Because I certainly do!
What if you can farm your favorite yield with 10x leverage?? 💰🤑

Let's take a look at @Rodeo_Finance 🧵🐂🧵 (0/19) 1/ @Rodeo_Finance is a protocol #buidl on Arbitrum that enables you to leverage your positions up to 10x 📈

You can farm and lend your stablecoins in the lending pools to earn high-yet-safe yield 💰

Want to copy the portfolio of gigabrains such as @Route2FI, @alpha_pls, @milesdeutscher, @rektdiomedes, @TheDeFinvestor, @korpi87, etc?

"SocialFi at its best"

Here's a bunch of @NestedFi 🧵🧵 1/ @NestedFi is a trading platform that makes crypto investment simple, social, and safe.

Nested gives you easy access if you want to start investing in crypto (without KYC ofc) 💰💰

Enter @Curvance in the Curve War. Aiming to unlock the liquidity locked across protocols that participated in the war.

Allowing for higher capital efficiency and yield for your locked tokens.

Let's see what Curvance has to offer 💾🧵 1/ @Curvance is a lending protocol that #buidl focuses on LPs from Curve, Convex, Yearn, and Frax ecosystems.

Curvance aims to enable users to continue earning yield while unlocking capital through peer-to-peer lending.

Think of @garbi_protocol as a robot (depicted on their logo) that will reward you for helping it run to process a job.

How does it work? Well, let's get into it 🤖🧵 (0/13) 1/ @garbi_protocol is a DEX protocol that uses an AMM to manage liquidity #buidl on @arbitrum.

They have three sub-products for now :

"It has the potential to unlock a new level of sustainability for DeFi" - @0xBebis_

He and @ByteMasons have been working on this for the past few months, so what is @EthosReserve?

A TL;DR of their Medium post.
medium.com/byte-masons/in… 1/ @EthosReserve — powered by $OATH is stable assets protocol that focused on upending traditional financial business models without sacrificing their efficiency.

Preview of their front-end 👇🏼

What if I tell you there's a protocol that allows you to borrow and lend any token you can think of?

What novel mechanism @Surge_Fi come up with to achieve that?

Let's find out 🧵 🧵 (0/13) 1/ The problem is 99% of tokens are not supported by lending protocols due to a lack of liquidity, making their price easy to manipulate.

@Surge_Fi solves it by building a lending protocol where anyone can create a landing pool for any two ERC-20 assets.

@GammaSwapLabs, the first oracle-free volatility DEX on Arbitrum to apply gamma strategies and will lead the DEX narrative to the next level (quoting @0xTindorr).

Let's get right into it 🧵 (0/19) 1/ @GammaSwapLabs buidl a protocol for going long gamma through constant function market makers (CFMMs) such as Uniswap, Balancer, Sushiswap, etc.

Enabling LPs to profit from "Impermanent Loss" risk faced by most liquidity platforms.

2 things dreaded by borrowers? Liquidation and stressful LTV monitoring.

@MysoFinance improves this "liquidation-centric" design by building Zero-Liquidation loans or quote "DeFi's simplest loan option". Read on to learn more anon 🧵 1/ A little background. @MysoFinance (stands for Million Yield Structuring Opportunities) is established in early 2022 after named one of the winners at the ETHOnline Hackathon in October 2021 and raised a $2.4M seed in April 2022.

Timeless Finance is launching their liquidity bootstrapping today but what is Timeless Finance? They tokenize yield? How does that work?

IT'S $LIT 🔥

Read on if you're intrigued anon 🧵 (0/27)

https://twitter.com/Timeless_Fi/status/1610822073898926082

1/ @Timeless_Fi is a protocol where you can tokenize your yield-bearing asset without having any expiry date.

You can deposit your asset like $USDC or the yield-bearing version like $yvUSDC and receive a split of Perpetual Yield Token (PYT) and Negative Yield Token (NYT).

I'm going to talk about one of the protocol that I genuinely curious on how they will play out.

If you're reading this, you're early.

The DeFi-native derivatives primitive − @perenniallabs 🧵 (1/20) 1/ What is @perenniallabs?

Perennial is peer-to-pool AMM just like @GMX_IO.

The difference is, from LPs perspective, instead of having one large uniform pool for them to deposit into, each market will have their own pool (vault).

Timing the market is hard, the alternative is DCA.

Though with that you still need to execute the trade yourself. You might forget or letting your emotion get into you seeing a steep dip in price.

@mean_fi automates that for you, want to know more? Keep scrolling anon 😉 (0/10) 1/ So how does it works?

On mean.finance, you select what token you want DCA into and with what token.

Input the amount you want to invest, specify the frequency of your DCA, and how long you want to DCA.

And this is what happens in the background.

Strongly and solidly built DeFi stablecoin lending protocol－ a fitting name for @SturdyFinance.

Serving almost 0% interest on borrowers, but still offering high yield for lenders. You're probably asking, how they can achieve that?

Let me tell you about them 🧵🧱🧵 (0/8) 1/ Unlike common money markets, borrowers don't need to pay interest.

Instead, @SturdyFinance took their collateral and farm yield with it which then given to lenders as interest for their lent assets.

and claim as "the first positive-sum DeFi lending protocol"

Novel ideas is the fuel to drive #DeFi space further.

@ChickenBonds by @LiquityProtocol is bringing you a novel form to bonding mechanism and combining them with Dynamic NFT.

If you're excited on innovation, read on anon! 🧵🐓🥚🧵(0/14) 1/ @ChickenBonds may sound playful but they're legit.

A new bonding mechanism allowing
- protocol to bootstrap liquidity at minimal cost
- provides better user protection.

The initial implementation is for @LiquityProtocol's stablecoin - $LUSD.

Tired of seeing all your assets and yield move at the same time? especially in this bera market.

Let me tell you about this project aiming to provide you with uncorrelated structured product.

Introducing @ryskfinance on @arbitrum 🧵🦀📊🧵 (0/11) 1/ Rysk pride themselves as and I quote "unlike most token-emission-based yield farms" and "relies on pure financial engineering".

But first, you need to understand what uncorrelated means!

P.S. for structured product check out my past thread

Hold on to your trading setup because there will be a new perpetual swap in @arbitrum town.

Transitioning from @TracerDAO and rebirth into @mycelium_xyz 🧵 (0/14) 1/ @mycelium_xyz is inspired by @GMX_IO while introducing more markets and lower fees for traders.

You can trade $BTC, $ETH, $LINK, $UNI, $BAL, $CRV, $FXS, and stablecoins.

Every time I research a protocol, there's always one word that can summarize the project.

'Different' is the word for @eulerfinance, and let me tell you why! 🧵Ⓔ🧵 (0/32) 1/ Euler is a lending protocol on Ethereum. But bizyugo, that's no different than Aave and Compound.

Yes, but Euler is not just a lending protocol. Under the hood, a lot differentiates them from other protocols.

For example, you can lend and borrow ANY assets.

The US sanctioning a neutral tool that can be used for good or bad is just a glimpse of how centralized big brother is.

This is a mixer. Imagine what happens when they discover zk-proof?

Followed by @circlepay freezing $USDC on @TornadoCash users' addresses.

Guess demanding privacy is a crime now 🤷🏻
