This 🧵 is about my analysis framework of DEXes: why I think @CurveFinance prevails over @Uniswap, and why Uni v3 is a wrong move!. In short, 2 reasons: (i) pricing power & (ii) profitability.

This 🧵is about the most fundamental and important question of DeFi: when does it make economic sense to be an LP for AMM (i.e. benefit > cost)?. @a16z Head of Research @Tim_Roughgarden propose a solution by introducing a new concept called Loss versus Rebalancing (LVR). 👇👇.

Regarding $USDC crisis, it's time to revisit the most stable stablecoin - @LiquityProtocol' $LUSD with:.- 0 governance .- fully decentralized collateral + UI.- instant liquidation.- lower liq. level than @MakerDAO.- no loss to holders since launch. How can it achieve all these?

[Curve vs Uniswap part 2].Why is @CurveFinance better positioned itself to be the core DeFi infra than @Uniswap?. TLDR:.1. $CRV tokenomics protects Curve against competition [1-13].2. Curve’s liquidity-as-a-service: functionalities that solve on-chain liquidity issue [14-19]. .

1. TLDR of @unichain: .- It is a general-purpose L2, NOT app-specific L2 .- Fast finality of 250ms per block, enabled by pre-confirmations to users .- *Priority ordering verified via TEE (collaborating with Flashbots team!) .- $UNI can be staked, or delegated to be staked .🧵👇.

🧵[$FRAX >>> $DAI]🧵.Why are stablecoins of @fraxfinance & @CurveFinance regulatory-resistant than @MakerDAO? In fact, @MakerDAO is at a much higher risk!!. Short answer: Algorithmic Market Operations (AMO) + token fungibility + principle of protection of property rights. 👇👇👇.

LPs of AMM can never be fully compensated by the trading fee (tx fee), which is a compensation only for LPs' cost of capital; LPs suffer from GAMMA RISKS as well. This 🧵 will dissect the risk profile of being LPs of AMM, especially important to LPs of @uniswap v3!.👇👇👇

[🧵@CurveFinance is printing money🧵].$crvUSD is now charging on average >7.5% interest rate on borrowers, but still they are willing to do so, as a way of holding the leveraged long blue-chip - $BTC/ $ETH, without suffering from the risk of hard liquidation. More details👇👇

13 March will be the most important date for @ethereum since the Merge. TLDR: .- It will undergo a hardfork to implement EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) which brings huge +ve impact on L2s, as fees on L2s would then be 10x cheaper than it is today. - This will create a flywheel

🌟 🌟 @CoWSwap just announced the first ever MEV-capturing AMM! Finally, there could be 1 AMM protecting LPs’ interest against MEV. 1 year ago I wrote a 🧵 of when it makes economic sense to be LPs for AMMs, and introduced LVR - the largest loss of LPs on AMMs that costs LPs.

For @CurveFinance exploits, only pools that are with the older version AND touch native $ETH are affected, as native $ETH has a callback when it's transferred. @fraxfinance’s $frxETH/ETH pool isn’t affected, as it’s with a newer & fixed version of vyper. It is double-checked too.

Main issue in LSD: decentralization vs APR maximization.By making validator set permissionless (vs whitelisting like @LidoFinance), $ETH staked in the protocol may be idle and not fully utilized - eg $rETH APR always < $wstETH APR. @fraxfinance's $frxETH v2 solves it.🧵👇👇

I don’t know if the fee proposal by @UniswapFND will get passed, but @Uniswap just sold into strength to reap great profits. It’s interesting when someone blamed @CurveFinance’s founder @newmichwill for taking his own risks of loaning against $CRV, while turning a blind eye on.
A #Uniswap Team/Investor/Advisor wallet sold 90,000 $UNI for 1.03M $USDC at $11.48 after the price of $UNI increased. The wallet received 5.44M $UNI($62.46M currently) and currently holds 926K $UNI($10.63M).
