New name. New identity. New products.

Element Finance is now DELV, the factory for DeFi. 2/ We’re a team of researchers building the complete suite of decentralized finance.

From core infrastructure to structured products, our protocols work together to help create and usher in the new financial system.

1/ Hyperdrive is the next research leap from the Element Finance team on variable and fixed rate primitives

No preset expiration dates, no fragmented liquidity, and no LP rollovers, aka everlasting liquidity

A concept so powerful, you have to experience it yourself

Play now 👇 2/ Hyperdrive introduces a Market Sentiment Indicator (MSI) for DeFi interest rates

A balanced system of longs and shorts captures the wisdom of the crowd

We have fixed rates under the hood, but there is so much more!

1/ As Web3 companies, DAO’s, and protocol operations continue to mature, prioritization on treasury management continues to be an area of focus for the majority.

The most common question being, "How does one get started?"

🧵👇🏻

medium.com/element-financ… 2/ Historical treasury management practices offer a wealth of existing, time-tested experience that the Web3 space can leverage – starting by looking at what has made for good treasury management strategies and practices by existing companies and corporations.

1/ Element Finance was a proud sponsor of this year's #ETHNewYork, @ETHGlobal’s premier blockchain hackathon.

Congratulations to the 3 winners who built on top of Element:

Worktree, Chainality, and Live Fluid! 🥇🥈🥉

Let’s take a look at each of the winners… 2/ Best Overall Use of Element Smart Contracts:

Worktree - A tool that automatically creates and deploys a ZK airdrop contract associated with a Github repo.

1/ Scalability and privacy have come to Element fixed rates via @aztecnetwork.

L2 scaling has always been one of our most anticipated features. How does it work, and what does it mean for the market? Read on to learn more! 2/ This supercharges fixed rates:
- Lower profitability barrier, regular users can participate
- Privacy & security
- Volatility harvesting on yield rates becomes significantly more efficient

1/ We are happy to introduce the Governance Steering Council (GSC) dashboard!

Read on to see what this means for the community governing Element DAO.

mirror.xyz/0x3fcAf7DDf64E… 2/ It allows members of the GSC to:

-Join and formally accept their role in the GSC
-Push proposals to an on-chain vote (bypassing the off-chain sentiment poll)
-Vote on proposals
-Leave the GSC voluntarily
-Kick other members that have fallen under the current threshold

1/ Element Finance is in the process of integrating our markets with @GearboxProtocol. In the meantime, our LPers have been whitelisted for Gearbox Protocol’s Credit Account Mining program! What does this mean for Element's community? Read on to learn more 👇 2/ Gearbox allows users to borrow up to 5x of their initial deposit and use these borrowed funds as their assets across different DeFi platforms.

1/ We’re excited to announce that L2 scaling is coming to Element through @aztecnetwork!

Lower gas costs have been one of the most awaited features by the Element community, and we’ve chosen Aztec as our first exploration into L2 scaling solutions.

medium.com/element-financ… 2/ Element transactions with Aztec will be batched into rollups that will be scheduled to run based on the relative demand per asset. This means that as demand grows, batches will run more frequently and become larger resulting in cheaper gas costs per transaction.

1/ We’re happy to share that the @componentfi team has launched the first iteration of a Yield Token Compounding (YTC) tool built on top of Element finance that you can try today.

Follow the 🧵and find out how a user got 9% variable exposure to $134K by spending $3.4K. 2/ Before we dive into the thread, remember that YTC is the action of a user recursively Minting and Selling their Principal Tokens(PTs) into the AMM to increase the overall quantity of their Yield Tokens (YTs), in result, increasing their yield exposure.

1/ The first crvSTETH 6 month-term is live!

The new term is netting 3.70% APY & 3.03% Fixed APR on your ETH ⟠ 🔥⟠ 🔥

How does that sound? 🎶🎶🎶

The community turnout for testnet.element.fi has been incredible since its launch on Saturday.

Let's reflect on the progress we've made so far ↓🧵 The stated goals for the testnet were 📋
⋅ Let anyone test the whole platform
⋅ Find bugs in the UI or contracts
⋅ Get feedback to improve the platform

So, how're we doin'? 1/...

1/ Introducing Element

Element brings liquidity to fixed rate income, allowing anyone to buy BTC, USDC, and ETH at a discount. The transaction costs are low and there are no hidden fees or locked terms. We like to say “not locked yield, fixed yield”.

medium.com/element-financ… 2/ For the more active DeFi users, we offer new ways to increase APY on existing yield positions such as on @iearnfinance or Eth2 Validators. We split your position into two new tokens, the principal and yield.
