Privacy is needed in the crypto space 🟣

Yesterday, the daily trading volume (~$280M) on @solana have surpassed all the L2s and sidechain on ethereum, including @arbitrum.

As @solana is making a comeback, here are some interesting stats about @Solana's recent performance that you should know👇.

1/9 🧵 The TVL on Solana has increased by 73.4%, rising from $382M to $680M in just a month (According to @DefiLlama).

Recent rally in TVL and activity on Solana are mainly due to:

🔹 $SOL pump
🔹 Airdrops szn
🔹 NFTs mini bullrun
🔹 Memecoin & Solscription

You need to be aware of the risks involved, as some of them appear skeptical (Their concept is unique tho).

I hold some of the tokens and my intention is purely to share my insights.

As on-chain activities in a monolithic blockchain grow, so do the cost of processing ❌

Successful rollups are super profitable.

zksync has made a total of ~$20M in revenues from its rollup (excl. cost)

Arbitrum ~ $11.87M
Optimism ~ $8.90M
Base ~ $5.14M

Yet, most of us still don't know how rollups generate revenues ⚠️.

crvUSD is the most hard-core stablecoin to ever exist.

Instead of facing full liquidation when borrowing CDPs,

crvUSD introduced LLAMMA 🦙, an algo that use soft liquidation to reduce impermanent loss during huge liquidation.

A very in-depth thread on crvUSD by @CurveFinance🧵 crvUSD was launched about a month and a half ago.

Among all collateral, sfrxETH was the first to be accepted for minting crvUSD, followed by wstETH and WBTC shortly after.

To date, crvUSD has attracted over $67.9M TVL, and interest in the stablecoin continues to grow 💹

The wait is over.

@samkazemian just announced the design of frxETH v2.

With innovations such as market-based interest rate, @fraxfinance is taking frxETH to the next level in the LSD game 👑.

A thread breaking down the clever design of frxETH v2 🧵 1/
Background:

FrxETH is one of the fastest-growing LSD in the landscape, having accumulated over 233.4K ETH in > a year 🚀.

This exponential growth is largely attributed to the clever synergy between sfrxETH and the frxETH-ETH pool on Curve 🧠.

The LSDfi summer is here 🌊

To catch the next $LBR & $PENDLE, you'll need a list of key alphas who closely follow the trend.

I will save your time 👀

and share with you my secret LSD lists I created to track everything related to LSD.

Instead of relying on "ALPHA callers"...

You can discover the next $PEPE, by following the smart money yourself🧠.

In this thread 🧵, I'll teach you how to track smart money using only Free tools like @DuneAnalytics and @DeBankDeF in 4 simple steps. 1/
Step 1: Find the whale

- Choose the token you wish to investigate.

- Enter the chain and token address into this dune dashboard created by @defi_mochi, click "Apply all parameters," and let the dashboard run.

In this case, I use $BOB as an example:

Staking 16/32 ETH to run a node is expensive.

With Atlas upgrades, @Rocket_Pool lowers the entry barrier to operate a node from 16ETH ▶️ 8ETH, allowing more nodes to join the ecosystem 🚀.

A thread on Atlas upgrades and the effect of 8 ETH minpools in the staking landscape 🧵 Background:

LSD sector has become one of the largest in DeFi, with a TVL of $17.81B at the time of writing

Following the Shanghai upgrade, staking percentage has surged from 12% to 15% 🆙

The increase in staking has also resulted in a greater demand for liquid staking products

When the Fee token = Governance token (E.g., ETH),

Users who use networks the most actually suffer reduced voting power over time ❌

To solve this, @berachain innovated the 🔱 Tri-Token Model to separate fee and governance tokens.

A thread on Berachain 🐻⛓
(Yep, this is real) 1/
Background 🐻 :

Before launching an L1 on @cosmos, Berachain was a rebasing NFT project called Bond Bear, inspired by the Olympus DAO.

The NFT collection soon attracted a group of DeFi veterans 🧠

And the founder @smokeythebear decided to take the bear to the next level 🔺

As the Shanghai upgrade approaches 🌄, everyone is hungry for LSD alpha. Out of all the LSD protocols, I believe👇

frxETH (by @fraxfinance)

will emerge as the clear winner with its duo token design and upcoming v2 release 🏆.

I spend <10 mins every week farming airdrops 🎁 ,

And I ended up receiving👇

$blur ~$20K
$arbi ~$3K

I earned more in less time by selecting the right project to farm⏳.

A 3 mins thread on how to select the BEST & "worth it" projects for airdrop farming 🧵 1/
Airdrops are great, but not all projects can bring in the big bucks 💰

Putting more effort into the right projects can increase your earning by 5-10x.

To evaluate whether a project is worth your effort,
I follow the parameters below 👇

Arbitrum is set to take off next week. Across the board, there is ONE protocol I'm really excited about
