- ๐ What an incredible amount of Alpha from @aavechan.lens in his interview with @alpha_pls. ๐ ๐งต๐
This is a great look into the future of @aavee.lens and the entire defi ecosystem. Put your glasses on and find a dense summary of all the alpha in the comments of this thread!
What's ahead for @aavee.lens:
- @stani.lens and the team created a multi-year vision of which only 5% has been achieved yet. 95% are still to come
- Aave is also creating institutional products that are not publicly available as of now
- Aave will launch its own crypto debit card
- Lending protocol, stablecoin, and social media with @lensprotocol will come together to form an all-in-one app with integrated wallet functionality
- Aave V3 & $GHO to be released in coming weeks
@aavechan.lens on the future of $GHO and how it will contribute to the Aave ecosystem:
- High liquidity of Aave increases the chances of $GHO being a success
- $GHO will increase efficiency as cross-product currency within AAVE
- $GHO will be natively integrated to @LensProtocol
- $GHO will also be the main means of payment & exchange in the upcoming (fintech) app from Aave
Alpha on Portals (cross-chain functionality for Aave V3):
- Pushed back in priority. Makes sense as soon as V3 is launched on multiple chains
- will come in two stages
- Portals V1: cross-chain credit lines with trust assumptions
- Portals V2: Needs actually cross-chain messaging provided by Chainlink via CCIP. Team has a weekly call with Chainlink to update on the development.
Big Alpha: Aave is looking into non-EVM chains
- Already known is the upcoming deployment on Starknet
- Aave on Starknet will be magnitudes more efficient & will allow for new and more complex algorithms
- Other non-EVM chains are attractive once TVL and user numbers are significant enough
My personal opinion on the interview and what's ahead:
- Every step of that Aave is doing contributes to the vision of creating an all-in-one web3 platform that could onboard the masses. Aave will most likely bridge the gap between web2 fintech and web3. Lens will enable the onboarding of content creators & social communities which will use web3 in an intuitive way with all the complexity abstracted away. Thereby, Aave smoothly creates native integrations of all of its products that will compete in market share with the super-apps of web2.
Props to @aavechan.lens and the team! And now imagine that cross-chain V3, $GHO, Lens, Aave institutional, debit card & all-in-one app are just 5% of what's to come.

@AaveAave.lens recently announced a development update on $GHO! ๐ช
Time for us to have a closer look and provide you with all the alpha available on $GHO so far ๐
New to $GHO? Get a little refresher in our previous thread covering all the main aspects: https://twitter.com/Stablecoinswtf/status/1545420652844265473
In its latest development update, @AaveAave.lens provided the first technical paper explaining how $GHO works.
Also, we can only recommend checking out this great thread by @ipor_intern digging into the details of $GHO's technical implementation: https://twitter.com/ipor_intern/status/1581567543914872834
Let us now dive deeper into what makes $GHO truly special and which implications this might have for the broader DeFi market ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
How facilitators might let the $AAVE DAO to become the leading central bank of DeFi ๐ฆ๐
$GHO introduces the concept of facilitators.
Facilitators are independent entities granted the right to mint $GHO in a trustless manner. Each facilitator and its mechanism to offer $GHO has to be approved by the $AAVE DAO.
At any time, there is a max. supply of $GHO defined by the $AAVE DAO.
Also, each facilitator has a defined 'bucket' that sets its individual maximum supply of $GHO that can be minted.
โก๏ธ If a transaction exceeds the supply limit of $GHO for the specific facilitator, the transaction fails.
Now, let us have a closer look into how this system could look in practice ๐
The first $GHO facilitator will be the @AaveAave v3 protocol itself.
Over time, the AAVE DAO will vote on the proposals of potential facilitators and eventually might enable them to trustlessly mint $GHO.
These facilitators could for instance be RWA-based via @centrifuge, algorithmically credit-based similar to @BeanstalkFarms or CDP-based protocols such as @QiDaoProtocol.
The possibilities are endless and only limited by the risk-appetite of the $AAVE DAO.
The facilitators will enable $GHO to potentially reach any stablecoin user group across all chains and ecosystems.
This does not only put the $AAVE DAO into the position of a central bank within the DeFi ecosystem (given $GHO is able to gain a large market share) but also places significant responsibilities on the DAO which could even transition to a systematic risk for the wider DeFi market.
It will be up to the DAO to find and implement a working and efficient governance & risk monitoring process to securely scale $GHO among multiple different facilitators.
Another key pillar of $GHO will be its interest/borrowing rate on AAVE v3.
$GHO will start with a fixed interest rate set and governed by the $AAVE DAO. This further highlights the DAO's potential role in becoming one of the key economic policy drivers in DeFi.
However, fixed interest rates are not easy to manage and likely to bring markets out of equilibrium in the long-term.
Find below an illustration on how the $AAVE DAO could implement and change its interest rate approach following the growth of $GHO ๐
With a growing $GHO market share, the $AAVE DAO might implement a separate Risk Admin Entity which might autonomously manage small interest rate changes under adversarial market conditions.
After $GHO has matured, it might make sense to switch to a floating interest rate based on a utilization curve or a similar mechanism.
So how does @AaveAave actually benefit from $GHO? ๐ป
This and more interesting insights into $GHO are covered in our new blog post! ๐

๐จ We are happy to announce ๐จ
โ The addition of $BEAN by @BeanstalkFarms to our dashboard
โ Our first in-depth coin analysis (link below ๐๐)
$BEAN is a stablecoin pegged to the USD and backed by credit instead of collateral. ๐
Itโs is algorithmically issued by Beanstalk, a permissionless fiat stablecoin protocol. The protocol aims to solve the so-called stablecoin trilemma (see also https://stablecoins.wtf/resources/the-stablecoin-trillema).
The initial success of the protocol that was launched in Sep 2017 grew the market cap of $BEAN to over $110M.
Then, the protocol experienced a governance exploit that resulted in a tremendous loss of $77M in non-BEAN assets and forced the community to halt the protocol.
This August, the protocol finally relaunched its operations.
How does Beanstalks' credit-based mechanisms work and keep $BEAN at a peg with the USD? $BEAN holds its peg based on the algorithmic control of its supply. This happens by either minting new Beans or through the issuance of a native, debt token (the so-called 'Pods') in exchange for Beans. The debt tokens are issued via Beanstalk's own credit facility (known as the Field). Thereby, the debt tokens are issued when $BEAN tokens are lent to the protocol by creditors.
The received $BEAN tokens are burned by the protocol to reduce the supply and can stabilize the peg if $BEAN is trading below a dollar.
The debt tokens are issued with a fixed interest rate calculated by the protocol (known as the Temperature) and donโt have a maturity date.
The interest rate of the debt fluctuates based on the current price of $BEAN, the debt level of the protocol, and the change in demand for the debt token. Thus, the quantity of debt tokens being issued is a function of the Bean price and the interest rate.
Further, both, the amount of debt tokens issued and their interest rate are continuously adjusted every hour by the protocol.
Once the protocol mints new $BEAN tokens based on more demand on the market, this newly minted $BEAN is distributed among different stakeholders. The split in the distribution of newly minted $BEAN is the following:
- โ
goes to the creditors of the protocol to repay the debt + interest
- โ
goes to governance participants of the protocol
- โ
goes into a fundraising contract to reimburse the victims of the hack
Important to know is that the protocol uses a decentralized on-chain oracle based on the shortage or excess of $BEAN in the BEAN:3CRV pool from Curve. This is done to have a censorship-resistant oracle for Beanstalkโs stability mechanism.
Further, the BEAN:3CRV pool plays a substantial role in the demand creation for $BEAN and its high liquidity creates stability and supports the peg.
The protocol even supports the depositing of LP tokens to participate in Beanstalk's governance.
It's important to emphasize that the mechanism of $BEAN comes without a tradable governance token which absorbs the risk in the case of a depeg as it has happened with $UST & $LUNA.
The risk absorbers are the protocols creditors that are compensated by the paid interest.
The beanstalk protocol also introduces a governance mechanism that incentivizes the depositing of $BEAN or LP tokens and creates opportunity costs for stakeholders who want to withdraw liquidity.

- โจ Just released my first VSCode extension. It automatically detects available *.code-workspace files & automatically opens them instead.
Download it below โฌ๏ธ๐
In my opinion, VSCode workspaces are the way to go. โ Especially in monorepos.
But it's tedious to always open those instead of just the plain directory...
Also, onboarding new team members and making them get used to the process of using workspace files is challenging.
Please provide feedback ๐
