Abstract

支撑 Do Kwon 明年千万赌局的勇气必然不是简单到谁都能看懂的经济模型,而是他手里掌握的,其他算稳没有的七武器。

最近有关NEAR要上线算稳USN的消息在网上传的沸沸扬扬,在Luna火了之后,大家对于算稳的热情再次被点燃起来,现在一线的大公链都要亲自下场玩了?
每个圈内的老人,都一定经历过算稳时代,一代的AMPL,二代的ESD,BAS,三代的算稳三杰Fei,Float,Reflexer,四代的OHM……这块我们之前的文章有详细介绍:DeFi永无休止的快速进化中,暴涨的算法稳定币只是少数人的狂欢?
都有过辉煌,也最终都走向凉凉。
反而是一开始默默无闻的Terra和低调的FXS,一直默默发育,现如今成了市面上最为成功的“算稳双雄”,Terra更是成了巨无霸一般的存在,直接跻身加密市值前十。
但你看Terra的经济模型其实很简单,UST需求更多时,UST价格上升,可以燃烧Luna铸造UST套利;UST需求减少时,UST价格下降,可以燃烧UST铸造Luna套利。
听起来确实很简单,上升时左脚踩右脚,梯云纵,下降时戴维斯双杀,死亡螺旋。大多数算稳不都这样么?
那么到底是什么给了Do Kwon 明年千万赌局的勇气?
必然不是这个简单到谁都能看懂的经济模型,也必然不是梁静茹。而是他手里掌握的,其他算稳没有的 - 七武器。
 01 长生剑 - 背后财团
LFG,现在这个大名鼎鼎的名字几乎无人不晓了,其财力之雄厚远非一般圈内公司可比。
明面上的投资机构就有Jump Crypto、三箭资本,Republic Capital等圈内巨鳄,暗地里背后的财团肯定还有我们不知道的名字,整个生态基金的储备超过30亿美金,2个月前往Anchor储备池拨款一拨就是4,5个亿,不然你以为Anchor20%的超高年化是怎么撑住的?
这就是当年Web2时代腾讯QQ,嘀嘀打车烧钱扩张建生态的打法,财大气粗者专享技能。

稳定币

 02 孔雀翎 - 圈外应用
严格意义上来说,Terra算是出圈的。
当其他一种算稳还在圈子里卷的时候,人家Terra早在19年6月就有了现实世界的支付类应用—CHAI,一个拥有受韩国政府监管的法币支付网关,有着10多家大型银行合作,可以在Terra支付联盟的合作商家内消费。CHAI总注册用户数为200W+,活跃人数在5~30万人不等,月度交易额高的时候有5000万美元。
通过在前端接受法定货币付款,后台将其转换为UST等Terra自身体系中的某个稳定币,Chai算是打通了Terra与Web2世界的连接,虽然体量暂时无法和圈内Terra市值或是Web2世界支付巨头相比,但是人家有!就这一点就秒杀所有算稳。
 03 碧玉刀 - Anchor
Anchor是Terra整个生态内最为重要的生态位,没有之一。因为这里锁了超过70%的UST,这就是UST最大的蓄水池。
同时也因为20%的年化,被人各种诟病旁氏。想想也是,传统银行1-2个点,当年暴雷无数的P2P年化也就10-15,你一个年化20的存款利息,还是活期,说不是旁氏真的是很难让人信服……

稳定币

圈外人是不可能看懂的,圈内人还多少能理解。
简单来说,Anchor靠着借款利息+借款抵押物的PoS奖励收入(bLUNA和bETH)+清算罚金来挣钱,但是挣得钱也就是利息支出的一半不到,剩下的缺口都要靠外部储备金来填补财政缺口,这不2月LFG就往储备金里扔了4个多亿么。
未来UST扩张到足够大,20%的APY肯定会慢慢降下来,边降息边释放这些储蓄的UST,这就是互联网时代烧钱,拿空间换时间的战略规划,从目前的烧钱速度来看,2022年将会是大考之年。
 04 多情环 - Cosmos生态
Terra最早出来的时候,很多人都不知道他其实是一条Cosmos链,加上当时Cosmos生态不愠不火,也没人关心。
现在两个都大火特火,不再是当年冷清的人气了。
Cosmos上一直没有稳定币,即没有USDT,USDC这些,也没有DAI,当时用Osmosis都只能卖成Atom。
然后Terra开始反哺Cosmos,几个月前接入IBC,于是UST现在成了Cosmos整个生态最为重要的稳定币。Osmosis上唯一的稳定币就是UST,另一大生态Thorchain也在近期与Luna+UST集成完毕,如果你看好整个Cosmos生态,就得“被迫”看好UST。

稳定币

 05 霸王枪 - BTC储备
LFG已经买了16.91亿美金的BTC作为储备资产了,他们打算买到100亿,这也让UST的从“看起来像空气”变得逐渐夯实起来。
当然BTC不是像Luna那样拿来烧的,BTC完全不参与UST的铸造过程。
但当UST需求降低,UST价格下跌的收缩期,BTC作为储备资产可以烧掉UST打折买,这对于Luna-UST的死亡螺旋来说是个极大的缓解左右。
100亿美金BTC背书的稳定币,想想你就觉得信心十足……
 06 离别钩 - AVAX原生铸造
是的,Terra要来到AVAX上,原生铸造了,且Terra已经买了1亿美金的AVAX作为贮备资产,于是在BTC之后,Terra又有了Avax做贮备资产,合纵连横的能力可见一斑。
当然,原生铸造,不是烧Avax来mint UST,烧还是烧Luna,但是AVAX作为储备资产,可以在收缩的时候烧UST买打折的AVAX了。
这对AVAX的币价本身也是个提振。
而对于AVAX未来的Subnet生态来说,有了一个更加中立的稳定币,更好的稳定币年化,更高的TVL……
强强联合说的就是你们了!

稳定币

 07 箱子 - Curve 4pool
这最后一件武器,还真的像是一个箱子,只不过,他是一个池子,一个可能未来非常重要的池子。
由UST、FRAX、USDC、USDT组成的4pool,直接对当前最大的稳定币流动性池3pool(DAI、USDC、USDT)宣战。
说白了,就是要把DAI赶下台。
其杀手锏,便是联合了FXS和BTRFLY,三家手里加起来有着超过12%的CVX投票权——换句话说,他们掌握着大量VeCrv的投票挖矿激励,在Curve War中可以做到呼风唤雨。
最终老牌的3pool究竟是得以维护其正统,还是被投票激励和贿选刺激下的4pool“改朝换代”,应该是下半年特别有意思的看点,甚至有可能是稳定币的“终局之战”。
你看,做稳定币可不容易,做大做强就更不容易了。Terra的7武器,圈内后无来者暂时不知道,前无古币那是绝对板上钉钉的事儿。想要模仿,可没那么容易!

Super Storage Week, How to Value It?

"Super Memory Week: How to Value It?" The week of July 27th marked a pivotal moment for the global memory chip market. On Monday, ChangXin Memory Technology (CXMT, 688825.SH) debuted on the Shanghai STAR Market, with its share price experiencing high volatility and settling around 49 yuan, resulting in a massive market capitalization of over 3.2 trillion yuan. This valuation far exceeds traditional models, as the market priced in CXMT's future potential as China's first large-scale DRAM producer rather than just current fundamentals. This event signaled that China's memory industry is transitioning from a cycle follower to a significant variable in global market valuations. The week also saw major earnings reports from South Korean giants SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, which highlighted strong profits driven by AI memory demand but also raised questions about future capacity expansion and the cycle's sustainability. The core debate centers on CXMT's true worth: is it based on immediate profits, the current DRAM boom, or China's strategic potential in semiconductors over the next decade? While CXMT has rapidly grown to become the world's fourth major DRAM player, gaps remain with incumbents in profitability, advanced products (like HBM), and technology ecosystems. The divergent market reactions underscored the valuation challenge. Chinese markets priced CXMT for its scarcity and national strategic importance, while overseas markets began to reprice global chip stocks, factoring in potential future competition from Chinese capacity expansion. Ultimately, CXMT's valuation hinges on its ability to convert its massive financing and market-assigned "option value" into tangible technological progress, yield improvements, capacity, and sustained profits in the coming quarters and years.

What is $LUNA

Luna28 ($$LUNA): A Moon-Inspired Crypto Venture Introduction In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrencies, innovation is key. Luna28 stands out as a project that not only embraces technology but also intertwines it with the mystique of cosmic cycles. Inspired by the moon's 28-day cycle, Luna28 ($$LUNA) aims to create a unique and engaging experience for its community, merging the concepts of tokenomics and lunar-themed non-fungible tokens (NFTs). At its core, this project employs a distinctive token burn mechanism aligned with lunar and solar eclipses, setting a new precedent in the crypto space. What is Luna28? Luna28 is a token-based cryptocurrency project built on the Ethereum blockchain. It seeks to offer its users a blend of cosmic engagement through a series of innovative features. Key to its identity is the launch of lunar-themed NFTs which enhance community interaction while celebrating the moon's cultural significance. The project aims to create a deeper connection between its community members and the cosmos. This connection is facilitated through a carefully crafted ecosystem that leverages lunar themes, token burns, and dynamic activities associated with celestial events. The goal is not just about enhancing token value but fostering a sense of belonging and enjoyment within the community. Creator of Luna28 The details surrounding the creator of Luna28 remain largely unknown. This lack of information has led to an air of mystery around the project, further adding to its uniqueness. The anonymous nature of its creation reflects a broader trend within the crypto industry, where the focus is often on the project and its community rather than individual profiles. Investors of Luna28 Currently, there is no publicly available information regarding the specific investment foundations or organizations that support Luna28. This aspect may indicate a grassroots initiative where the community plays a vital role in the project's development and growth. The absence of prominent investors can sometimes create a more decentralized and independent project, allowing for organic community engagement and involvement. How Does Luna28 Work? One of the most compelling aspects of Luna28 is how it operates, particularly its unique features that set it apart from other cryptocurrency projects. 1. Lunar and Solar Eclipse Token Burns Luna28 incorporates a special token burn mechanism, which involves periodically burning a portion of its token supply during lunar and solar eclipses. This approach not only creates excitement around celestial events but also works on the fundamental principle of increasing scarcity. By reducing the overall token supply through burns, the remaining tokens have the potential for increased value, benefiting all holders. 2. Tokenomics The economic structure of Luna28 is crafted to ensure sustainability and growth. Each transaction incurs a 4.4% tax: 2% contributes to the Moon Cycle Fund, which is burned every 28 days during the full moon. The remaining 2.4% is earmarked for development and marketing, facilitating the project’s expansion and continuous improvement. This tax structure establishes a steady flow of funding while maintaining a deflationary approach that can enhance the token's value proposition. 3. 100% Burned Liquidity Security and trust are paramount in any cryptocurrency project. Luna28 addresses these concerns by locking its liquidity pool tokens in a burn wallet. This ensures that liquidity is permanently secured, fostering confidence within the community as they engage with the platform. 4. NFT Drops Further enhancing community engagement, Luna28 plans to release lunar-themed NFTs. These digital collectibles not only serve as a source of fun and creativity but also offer users unique assets tied to the larger lunar theme. The introduction of NFTs reflects a growing trend in the crypto space, blending traditional forms of artistic expression with innovative technology. 5. Hyper Deflationary Token Luna28 is classified as a hyper deflationary token, emphasizing its commitment to a declining token supply through systematic burns. This design encourages long-term holding, as community members anticipate potential value growth driven by scarcity. 6. First Buyer Incentive In a bid to promote active participation, Luna28 offers a unique first buyer incentive. After each celestial burn event, the first participant in the market is rewarded with 10% of the tokens burned during that event. This encourages immediate engagement and interest surrounding each significant celestial phenomenon. 7. Sustainable Tax Structure The project's tax model is specifically designed to encourage sustainable growth, balancing the need for ongoing project development with the goal of enhancing token value. This innovative tax structure serves the dual purpose of supporting the community's interests while maintaining a healthy ecosystem for the project. Timeline of Luna28 A well-charted timeline helps in understanding the progression and milestones of Luna28. Here’s a synopsis of important events in the project’s history: Stealth Launch: The project entered the crypto arena under a stealth launch, garnering significant community interest and posting a remarkable 1792% increase from its initial listing. This initial surge indicated strong community reception and a solid foundation for future growth. Token Burns: Committing to its unique approach, Luna28 plans to burn 28% of its token supply over a three-year period, timed specifically during lunar and solar eclipses. Community members eagerly await their opportunities to participate in these events. Community Involvement: Emphasizing transparency and the importance of community feedback, Luna28 plans to notify its users in advance about upcoming token burn events. This engagement approach encourages active participation, fostering a strong sense of community. Key Features Luna28's distinctive features bolster its appeal within the cryptocurrency sector: Hyper Deflationary Nature: The project's focus on hyper deflationary mechanics enables a strategic reduction in supply, aiming for enhanced value retention. Incentives for Early Engagement: The project rewards early participants with direct benefits, which cultivates a proactive community eager to contribute. Commitment to Community Development: The sustainable tax model not only ensures the project's growth but also actively involves the community in shaping its future direction. Conclusion Luna28 represents a unique fusion of technology, community engagement, and celestial inspiration in the cryptocurrency landscape. By integrating innovative mechanisms such as token burns during astrological events and creating engaging lunar-themed NFTs, the project distinguishes itself as a trailblazer within its niche. As a community-driven endeavor, Luna28 promises to deliver not just another cryptocurrency but an experience that marries elements of cosmic fascination with blockchain technology. With its innovative features and strong emphasis on community involvement, Luna28 has the potential to create a lasting impact in the world of digital currencies. The connection it forges between its users and the universe represents not only a creative endeavor but also a brilliantly calculated business strategy poised for growth. As we observe the evolution of Luna28, it is evident that it is more than just a token; it is a concept that encourages its community to look up at the cosmos and ponder their place within it, all while navigating the exciting world of cryptocurrency. The future for Luna28 looks bright and full of potential, eagerly awaiting its next lunar cycle.

What is TERRA

Exploring the Terra Ecosystem: A Comprehensive Overview Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, the Terra Ecosystem has emerged as an ambitious project designed to facilitate a decentralized financial system. This innovative platform focuses on creating stable and scalable algorithmic stablecoins, aimed at driving the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. In this article, we will delve into the foundational aspects of the Terra Ecosystem, exploring its operational mechanisms, its creators, investors, notable components, and the timeline of its development. What is the Terra Ecosystem? Founded in 2018, the Terra Ecosystem is a layer-one blockchain designed to provide an efficient and reliable payment platform. The core mission of Terra is to create a preferred form of money that is not only decentralized but also practical for everyday use. At the heart of the ecosystem is its native algorithmic stablecoin, TerraUSD (UST), which is pegged to the US dollar using an innovative algorithmic mechanism. This unique approach addresses a common concern in the cryptocurrency space: the volatility that often accompanies digital assets. The Terra Ecosystem aims to enhance the usability of cryptocurrencies by creating an environment where digital currencies function similarly to traditional currencies. By being user-friendly and stable, Terra sets out to attract users outside of the crypto community, ultimately fostering mass adoption. The Creators of the Terra Ecosystem The Terra Ecosystem emerged under the guidance of its co-founders Daniel Shin and Do Kwon. Both individuals, with a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship and technology, launched Terraform Labs to spearhead this groundbreaking project. Daniel Shin, a prominent figure in the South Korean tech landscape, has co-founded multiple tech companies, while Do Kwon has an extensive background in computer science and engineering. Their partnership is pivotal in steering the development and growth trajectory of the Terra Ecosystem. Investors in the Terra Ecosystem While detailed information about specific investors remains limited, it is widely acknowledged that Terraform Labs has garnered substantial financial support from a variety of angel investors and venture capital firms. This backing provides the necessary resources for the ongoing development and expansion of the Terra Ecosystem. The emphasis on acquiring diversified investment sources reflects the strong belief in the project's potential within the cryptocurrency community. How Does the Terra Ecosystem Work? At the core of the Terra Ecosystem's functionality lies its innovative proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This allows holders of the LUNA token, the native currency of the ecosystem, to participate in the governance and operation of the network. The dual-token structure differentiates Terra from many other projects, with LUNA serving both as a stake for validators and as a governance token. The mechanism operates in a distinctive way, whereby the supply of LUNA backs the stablecoin UST. If the demand for UST increases, the algorithm automatically adjusts the supply of LUNA to maintain the stability of UST at its dollar peg. Users are enabled to exchange 1 UST for an equivalent value in LUNA, ensuring that fluctuations in demand do not affect the peg. This innovative approach enables the Terra Ecosystem to maintain price stability, one of its primary goals. Timeline of the Terra Ecosystem The development journey of the Terra Ecosystem has been marked by significant milestones: 2018: Establishment of Terraform Labs by Daniel Shin and Do Kwon, laying the groundwork for the Terra Ecosystem. April 2019: The initial release of the Terra blockchain, initiating its journey into the broader cryptocurrency landscape. 2021: Terra experiences remarkable growth as its total value locked (TVL) reaches new heights, positioning it as a dominant player in decentralized finance (DeFi). May 2022: A turbulent period arises as the Terra blockchain is temporarily halted following the collapse of UST and LUNA, leading to a significant impact on market perception and capitalization. January 2024: Terraform Labs files for bankruptcy, marking another critical event in the project's history, sparking discussions on the sustainability and future of the ecosystem. Key Components of the Terra Ecosystem A variety of features contribute to the unique functionality of the Terra Ecosystem: Core Functionality The Terra Ecosystem includes essential functionalities such as managing transaction fees, monitoring price fluctuations, and maintaining historical balances of transactions, all of which are crucial for ensuring user experience and operational integrity. Applications One of the flagship features of the Terra Ecosystem is its diverse array of applications. This includes: Anchor Protocol: A money market protocol that provides high stablecoin yields and tokenized stakes for users seeking to maximize returns on their investments. Mirroring Technology: Enabling users to create assets that mirror real-world assets and trades, allowing for broader use cases and applications. Chai: A payment platform designed to facilitate everyday transactions using Terra's stablecoin technology. Swaps and Exchanges The ecosystem provides functionality for seamless asset exchanges. Notable features include native swapping capabilities and platforms such as Terraswap, allowing users to exchange Terra assets efficiently while benefiting from competitive rates. Governance Governance plays a critical role in the decentralized nature of the Terra Ecosystem. Token holders use their LUNA tokens to propose changes or vote on proposals that affect the network, ensuring collective decision-making and community involvement in the ecosystem's evolution. Notable Projects in the Terra Ecosystem Beyond the core functionalities, the Terra Ecosystem is also home to notable projects that further augment its capabilities: Terraswap: This decentralized exchange (DEX) emerged to facilitate easy swapping of Terra assets, thus promoting a vibrant trading environment within the ecosystem. Astroport: Another DEX known for its high total value locked, Astroport enhances trading opportunities and liquidity provision for users. Loop Markets: This integrated exchange hub offers users a range of trading tools and services, significantly contributing to the user experience across the Terra platform. Conclusion The Terra Ecosystem stands as a significant player within the blockchain and cryptocurrency domains, aiming to create a stable and scalable financial platform designed for widespread cryptocurrency adoption. Although the ecosystem faced dramatic challenges, notably the collapse of its stablecoin UST and the LUNA token, it continues to adapt and evolve in the face of adversity. As the project navigates its future, it remains committed to its foundational vision of building practical products accessible to a broader audience, thereby reinforcing the potential of decentralized finance. The Terra Ecosystem, with its robust features and innovative approach, holds promise as it seeks to redefine the landscape of digital currency use, remaining a focal point for enthusiasts and investors alike in the ongoing evolution of blockchain technology.
