@bjnpck How its possible? There is no such underlying APY.

A riddle. What pays 36% APR in ETH and uses only Liquity and Curve? Answer below.

@Tangent_fi @CurveFinance @StakeDAOHQ @ConvexFinance @fraxfinance when looping start? hint: good to add contracts to the docs

The USG/frxUSD pool has now surpassed $2M TVL on @CurveFinance. Beyond the strong APRs on @StakeDAOHQ and @ConvexFinance, depositors are also securing their $TAN allocation and farming points simultaneously. Full details & link in the quoted post below 👇

Looks like ETF's. Thats what I overlooked. x.com/CryptoPicsou/s…

Nowdays, almost every day routine to see this numbers. Hyperliquid.

@lordjorx @Tangent_fi @CurveFinance The yield is market-high, but there are risks of novel protocol, so be careful guys, don't bet too much, there is no insurance.

I prefer CDPs over money markets right now. @Tangent_fi launched yesterday. It lets you mint stablecoins using @CurveFinance pools as collateral and borrow at 0%. Instead of paying interest, you redirect part of the yield your pool generates. More than $4 million total liquidity already. They're in a predeposit campaign. Yields are solid, and 2% of the token supply will go to depositors. Be honest about the token side. 2% is low, and CDP/money market tokens tend to have small market caps; so please don't build your thesis around the airdrop. The base yield is the actual case here. Happy to see this scaling over time.

@SifuBacktest @jake_pahor thx. not informative w/o indication of trades and z-score

@hell0men @jake_pahor you can play around here: tradingstrategies.work/dashboard/bitc…

Most DCA strategies underperform a simple three-bucket system I've tested. Bigger buys when the CSH Score is below 40. Skip the middle (40-60). Start taking profit when it goes above 60. That's it. The CSH Ladder beat flat DCA in 83% of rolling 4-year backtest windows over 13 years of BTC data. Same dollars in. Better timing. The CSH Plan Builder runs this automatically. Set the weekly budget once.

@SifuBacktest @jake_pahor Do you have a chart fot this?

@jake_pahor if you beat DCA or AVG B&H with ladder stacking really depends on your start date. Testing it backwards, the overall result is a mixed bag with no clear winner (at least with the settings I have tested.

@VietnamPenguin They caught my attention with their HLP yield and user-friendly UI/UX back then, even though I hardly ever traded.

“People still don't understand how special this was.” Hyperliquid, 2023.

CX becoming extra bullish on hyperliquid:native and there are much reasons. Do not short, but consider taking some profits here. And remember: Never sell the whole stack of HYPE!

@thedefiedge @PhoenixTrade Fenix competitors are GMTrade, Jupiter Perp and Drift. No competitors for HL.

A bunch of large Solana accounts have been shilling @PhoenixTrade lately. So I went digging to see what's actually different about it vs Hyperliquid. Background Drift got drained for $285M a few months ago. A lot of that volume migrated over to Hyperliquid, and there's a real void in Solana perps. So the OG Solana crew is pushing Phoenix to take over. Phoenix is a perp DEX built by Ellipsis Labs. And they raised $44M from Paradigm, Electric Capital, and Toly personally The orderbook The piece that caught my eye is how the orderbook works. Phoenix combines a standard FIFO orderbook with something they call Spline Liquidity, where market makers publish a midpoint and a curve and Phoenix turns it into orderbook levels automatically. A quote update costs 600 compute units. On a traditional perp DEX model it costs around 300,000. So MMs can refresh quotes way more often without paying for it, which in theory means tighter spreads at scale. Fees Phoenix is roughly 6x cheaper across the board: • Maker: 0.005% vs 0.03% • Taker: 0.035% vs 0.09% • Referral share: 30% vs 10% If you're shilling a referral link, Phoenix pays 3x more for it. Volume Hyperliquid is way out ahead: Hyperliquid: $170B 30D volume, $8.7B OI Phoenix: ~$20M daily volume, $3.6M OI Under 1% on both. Keep in mind it’s not really a fair comparison as Phoenix is still in beta. Distribution Hyperliquid airdropped 310M HYPE to 94,000 wallets with no vesting and no insiders. Which led to their hardcore community. Phoenix has said there’s no points and no airdrops coming. So I’m not really sure if the cheaper fees will be enough incentives for people to move over. Will test Phoenix once I get access. What do you guys think?

@bitcoin_yield @newmichwill @CurveFinance @yieldbasis What other unresolved problems in Defi does Michael want to address after the main work with YieldBasis is completed?

Interviewing @newmichwill tomorrow. Co-Founder of innovative protocols @CurveFinance & @yieldbasis. YieldBasis specifically is interesting as it aims to solve the issue of impermanent loss. Opening the door for >10% returns common in AMMs. Drop your questions below 👇

@PharosWatch @prikinilya but you can't freeze someone's wallet stablecoin by freezyng underlying, so it have no sense

@prikinilya They all have upstream freeze present. GHO for example: pharos.watch/stablecoin/gho…

Stablecoins with no freeze function and a market cap above $10M: 1. BOLD 2. LUSD 3. HYUSD End of list. The unfreezable stablecoin market makes up 0.032% of the total stablecoin market.

@dcfgod @EchoProtocol_ @monad @Curvance lack of competence

gm @EchoProtocol_ may be hacked on @monad Someone minted 1k ebtc out of nowhere, max borrowed wbtc against it on @Curvance, bridged, and tornado away

@stacy_muur @LayerZero_Core @chainlink CCIP is times more expensive and takes longer time

Users are probably wondering why projects are still switching their crosschain infra from LayerZero to Chainlink. The reason is a philosophical difference in their security model: → @LayerZero_Core: developers pick their own validators and thresholds → @chainlink CCIP: 16 independent nodes enforced at the protocol level LayerZero's model is elegant. Each app picks its own validators, so a hack on one app can't bleed into another, but only if each app configures it correctly. The problem is that LayerZero permitted a 1/1 setup, with one validator and a single point of failure. At least now, the 1/1 configurations are gone, defaults are moving to 5/5, and Console was shipped with built-in anomaly detection. But compared to LZ, CCIP is designed to avoid this misconfiguration risk. You can't get it wrong because the protocol doesn't give you the option. Institutions will often choose less flexibility in exchange for zero misconfiguration risk. That's why all these protocols are making the switch.

@pendle_fi @xStocksFi @saylor @Strategy Cool, could we 2.3x our STRCx position in Favuorable scanario? lol

The onchain digital credit yield economy is expanding! $STRCx (Aug 2026) by @xstocksfi is now live. Fixed yield for tokenized $STRC, directional yield speculation, enhanced yield as a liquidity provider... all these are now available on Pendle.

@safetyth1rd Which is safer? A place where a hack has already occurred, or one where it hasn’t happened yet?

This is not just about being hacked, it’s losing trust Aave got hacked, owned it and worked to fix it. I’ll use them again Layerzero got hacked, blamed everyone but themselves despite being the most to blame That’s why no one wants to use them anymore.

@0xthade What if others realize that trading is making them poorer... Nah, that's just nonsense.

I never traded or invested in anything before I got into crypto. Getting into crypto in 2021 and making a killing off NFTs and OHM forks, then going through '22/23 after going from $700k (most of that was unrealized in NFTs) to $20k USDC + 1 Azuki.. it made me super defensive. Thankfully I wanted an Azuki so bad I sold my $UST at .96 otherwise I would've been zero'd. Eventually you realize that everything in crypto either stagnates, trends to 0, is over valued, has VC's relentlessly dumping on you, teams are jokes, most stuff is vaporware, copycats, the list goes on. Pretty much there aren't, in my opinion, ANY tokens really worth investing in. Sure, trade whatever has attention but just know that shit is going to 0. The ONLY token I truly believe is worth investing and holding is hyperliquid:native. Last year I decided to take some of my money and buy stocks for the first time. It just so happened the market was nuking and for the first and only time that I can recollect, I was patient enough and bought the bottom on $NVDA, $TSLA, $HOOD, $HIMS, and $AMD. ALL of those have gone on to 2x, some even 4x at their peak. Did I hold any of them for more than a month or two? Unfortunately not. I took profits and started day trading. Why? Because I'm a fuckin crypto retard that is forced to take profit or watch your position go to 0. In crypto, you're either early, right on time, or exit liquidity. With stocks making new highs every week, I can't help but think I'm late to everything and I have no idea what to actually invest in. Crypto truly has fried my brain. I could've just bought and held stocks last year and outperformed massively. For now I'll keep holding my staked bag of HYPE, selling options with my USDC to earn income, and wait for a good opportunity to start buying stocks. After that there is no point for me to even think about crypto other than farming airdrops to dump.

@VietnamPenguin If you cought executed, you start selling more closer puts 😉

@hell0men But if cant buy back lower?

Btw what are the current ways to earn above-market yield on $HYPE right now? For example: → direct staking gives ~2.2% APR. → staking via kHYPE gives ~1.98% APR. → LP on PRJX gives ~1.77% APR. → supplying on Hyperlend gives ~0.61% APR. Any other options?
