Summary of all news in August 2024:

Something about capital efficiency. Somehow this weETH/ETH pool on Curve is doing the same volume as Uniswap's pool for weETH, despite 5 times smaller TVL.

And no, the fee doesn't explain that

Apparently @TheTNetwork allows to deposit BTC natively on @arbitrum using this little-known link https://arbitrum.threshold.network/minting.

Unsurprisingly, tBTC pool quickly become the top first pool on Arbi by trading volume.

Is soft liquidation (or should we say liquidation protection) efficient?

This position in asdCRV market on Arbitrum was created 36 hours ago and immediately went under liquidation price. Over these 36 hours "in liquidation" during this "Megalodon Whale Dump" it lost only 0.1%.

crvUSD price is on peg

A reminder: crvUSD uses decentralized oracles based on Curve pools (was not easy to make them safe!). So do llamalend markets

The future of WBTC is uncertain.
Bitcoin's values aren't.

Apparently @stblcnsummit in Singapore has a different website, but familiar speakers are still there!

An update in @stable_summit program

UI for vaults from @yearnfi looks very easy and fun to use now. New hub for Yearn Curve vaults: https://curve.yearn.space/

Apparently AUSD stablecoin, while having a tiny pool, does 1500% utilization, so the pool makes fees for LPs without any incentives. If anyone wonders - it is seemingly this one

Glad to see a lot of pretty safe options for safe yield with crvUSD pools. Quite a good time to explore as crvUSD peg is ideal $1 these days

When you are under liquidation price - you still can stay alive on https://t.co/oRLTRckPo5 or https://t.co/oOi48fw1FQ, no matter what the price of your collateral is! But remember:
- Need to keep watching your health and repay if it goes lower (<1% is real low, 3% is pretty good);
- Health loss is slow in low volatility, fast at high volatility;
- Health loss is slow when number of bands is large / the "yellow" region is wide.

So keep that in mind, and you can see the position "resurrected" as collateral price is above liquidation price again!

Haters will say it's AI

crvUSD price seems fairly stable on peg recently. That's no coincidence: it is rock stable when pegkeepers are not empty (which is, when market borrow rates are not too high!)

It appears that ve-locks are more efficient than token burns, even if all voting bribes were spent on buyback and burn! Here is the preliminary graph, but more complete research piece coming soon

Here is a review of what Swiss Stake (company building Curve) did so far!

DAO funding request for the company building Curve (Swiss Stake AG). veCRV holders - please read up and discuss!

Main feature of soft-liquidation is the ability to be de-liquidated. Here, a positions enters and exits liquidation multiple times, losing some fractions of a percent on that, but having position fully de-liquidated at the end (on http://lend.curve.fi)

There is a telegram bot to track http://lend.curve.fi and http://crvusd.curve.fi positions, alerting about health changes. You can track addresses of others, too.
