- Who are the gigabrains of the Lens community? 🧠
- **Momoka Scaling Solution for Lens - Why is it a game changer...✨🌿🧵**
**What is Momoka? 🤩 🌿**
Momoka is an Optimistic L3 scaling solution, that will process transactions at hyperscale, and is designed to support the next generation of web3 social users.
*See Lens' post for the deep rundown 👀*
**Momoka** address an issue that is as old as blockchains, block space scarcity...which translates to on-chain data storage scarcity. You may have come across the debate on whether NFTs who's metadata is saved on-chain are more valuable or not, or are we clogging up these chains.
This is a concern with blockchains because the more congested execution chains become, the more expensive they are to use. Hence, there has always been a concern regarding the feasibility of social media on-chain.
A lot of Lens apps currently are built in way they've obfuscated away the user having to pay gas on very TXN they create on Lens, subsidising them on the backend. A large part of this is because people would find it hard to stomach having to pay to make a comment, for example.
With Momoka, there is the choice of what should be on-chain and what doesn't have to be. I think this is particularly important because there are things you'd want on-chain and things you might not, like a causal comment.
**This does a two of things:**
Firstly, it improves the overall experience of using Lens apps as we're not going to have to wait for small interactions like comments to be indexed anymore. Low latency, Instant Verification!
Secondly, this dramatically decreases the costs of on-chain interactions as the network as a whole will be less congested with a lot of what people do Lens not being on-chain.
This has the added benefit of making it easier for Lens apps to reach revenue generation if they continue to subsidise on-chain activities and implement viable revenue models. Moreover, this allows for a more sustainable and productive ecosystem.
Aside from all it does for Lens and the viability for decentralised social, it addresses the same issues experienced by projects building in web3 gaming and so many other niches. It'll be interesting to see how Momoka evolves to support potentially various ecosystems in future.
Big congratulations to @lensprotocol, Arweave and @bundlr-network on the announcement 🥳
I'll be verifying 🫡 🌿
- @llamaxyz.lens is thrilled to propose a revised outlook for the @aaveaave.lens Safety Module to the community.
Following feedback, the strategy was split in 6 posts on the Aave forum.
The summary can be found here, but this post will dive into each topic
https://governance.aave.com/t/discussion-safety-module/12029/9
The strategy aims to improve the SM design on several aspects, such as:
~ Increase the SM cover value
~ Improve Incentives management
~ Increased SM depositors rewards
~ Reduction of the cover cost
*PART I: Migrate the StkABPT to @balancerprotocol.lens V2*
The publication proposes an update of the initial SM pool parameters to consider several configurations on Balancer
~ B-80AAVE-20wETH
~ B-80AAVE-20wstETH
~ B-50AAVE-50wETH
~ B-50AAVE-50wstETH
Proposal I: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-update-part-i-migrate-aave-weth-balancer-v1-pool-to-balancer-v2/12748
*PART II: Assets diversity, SM Categories & Slashing*
This proposal introduces risk tranching by creating 3 categories with different slashing, parameters & rewards
~ Single Assets: Similar to current design (Reduced emission, 30% max slashing)
~ Volatile & Stable BPTs: LPs staked in Balancer gauges through @AuraFinance
(BAL + AURA rewards, 45% max slashing for volatiles, 60% max slashing for Stables)
Proposal II: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-upgrade-part-ii-asset-diversity-sm-categories-slashing-updates/12749
*PART III: Enable smBPT gauges*
This proposal proposes to improve the capital efficiency in the SM by creating gauges on smBPT instead of classic BPT
To generate enough BAL + AURA rewards, the Aave DAO will need to attract vote on the associated gauges, which can be done by voting or creating vote incentives for veBAL & wrappers holders.
Classic gauges would dilute the SM reward budget since anyone could receive yield while bypassing the SM risks & cooldown.
smBPT allows anyone to deposit in the pool & earn fees, but only SM depositors would receive BAL + AURA rewards.
Proposal III: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-upgrade-part-iii-enable-gauges-on-bpt-in-safety-module-smbpt/12750
*PART IV: Incentives management upgrade*
This proposals focuses on updating the current AAVE reward budget management
~ 25% of the current SM budget as liquidity mining on single assets (no gauges)
~ 75% of current SM budget as vote incentives on smBPT gauges through Warden Quest by @paladin.lens for volatile & stable BPTs categories
This allows to leverage the premium of gauge weight power compared to direct liquidity mining and benefit from several Quest benefits such as
~ Defined amount of votes needed
~ Fixed reward / vote paid to voters
~ Ability to retrieve unspent rewards
~ Incentivize veBAL & wrappers
Proposal IV: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-upgrade-part-iv-incentives-management-upgrade/12751
*PART V: veToken Management framework*
This proposal aims to define a framework to manage the strategic assets locked on the collector contract by electing a committee in charge of the following actions
~ Lock / relock assets
~ Cast gauges votes
~ Monitor the market
~ Create the Quests
~ Claim & Compound the yield
Proposal V: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-upgrade-part-v-vetoken-holding-management-framework/12752
*PART VI: Future considerations*
This proposal aims to recap the design proposed and add future considerations for this strategy
~ Progressive incentives migration to the new design
~ Incentives budget sustainability
~ Protocol Owned liquidity considerations
~ Framework to add new assets to the SM
Proposal VI: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-safety-module-upgrade-part-vi-future-considerations/12753
Looking forward to get feedback on the forum and discuss these topics with the community

- Bull or bear, some releases represent breakthroughs that will ripple through the whole ecosystem and carry whole cycles by themselves. I believe $GHO will be of such magnitude.
We started building @paladin.lens on top of @aaveaave.lens , during a hackathon they sponsored over 2 years ago and see $GHO as one of the last key pieces to create a full-fledged decentralised lending protocol.
There has been a lot of focus on the impact it will have on the interest rates for stablecoins, or how it could help Aave build a moat to retain depositors. I am personally very excited about Portals, which will transform Aave into a liquidity HQ for multichain ops with Portals. But all of this is dwarved by the catalysts for $GHO 's growth:
1. Its brand and TVL
This is the easy one. The sole fact that it is an Aave product will enable it to reach several hundreds millions of circulating GHO in a matter of months, just like it has done with v3 just this month.
2. Its partnership with @balancerprotocol.lens
Aave has been close with the AMM since inception, and they already have deep integrations such as the stkaBPT. Outside of personal accumulation, Aave has done a 1M$ treasury swap with Balancer and acquired Fei's $BAL when it shut down. With Balancer switching to ve-tokenomics successfully, $GHO will not just be pushed by narrative. You should expect ~5% of the gauge emissions being directed towards $GHO related pools (3M$ /year).
I expect this to push GHO over the billion of tokens circulating
3. The card hidden in plain sight
https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov/status/1356658340215062533?s=20
Remember when @stani.lens teased an Aave credit card? Well he'd better deliver cause this is the single greatest catalyst for $GHO. DeFi will never truly be relevant if it isn't able to reach outside of crypto.
Now close your eyes and imagine being able to go buy baguette without cash, just by drawing up credit on your $PAL on Aave. Borrowing GHO to pay for living expenses is the single greatest leap a stablecoin provider can hope for. Suddenly you aren't a farming coin, nor a reserve for crypto-traders, but a simple day to day payment tool.
When this happens, expect a massive flywheel to kick. TVL will grow because this use-case will be hard to enable, in turn sky-rocketing $GHO borrowing, printing fees for the DAO and making palStkAave v2 holders (👀) very happy.
At @paladin.lens, we are governance and tokenomics specialists, and we intend to use all of our GHOvernance expertise to perpetuate our tradition of building on Aave and enable $GHO 's growth over the coming months with a new vault for $stAave holders.

- Welcome to the new @LiquityProtocol Curve quest for bLUSD+LUSD3CRV which already has incredible participation with a completion of 52% for 28,78% in $LQTY voting incentives! 🔥

- In order to better understand the DeFi & its innovative protocols, more or less complex, I analyze and synthesize the functioning of the protocols in collaboration with the teams
This week I synthetize the funtionning of Liquity protocol.
1) The users open a trove to mint $lusd (stable $) (> 2000$) against collateral $eth, they can close it at any time by repaying their debt in full
2) When 1 $lusd < 1$, users can swap 1 $lusd / 1$ $eth
3) The $lqty holders stake (or unstake) their $lqty to earn $lusd & $eth from borrowing & redemption fees
4) The liquidity providers deposit $lusd in the stability pool to over collateralize users’ troves earning $lqty
5) The liquidators close out liquidating troves (collateral *1.1 > debt) & earn 0.5% of collateral $eth
6) Liquidity is fully automated: the parameters cannot be changed. The troves mint $lusd, are collateralized by $eth and the stability pool over collateralizes the troves
7) Recovery mode kicks in when the total collateral ratio (TCR) of the system falls below 150%, there are several variants depending on the events (see diagram) but stay above 150% collateral and everything will be fine
What I liked about Liquity:
- has no governance: the parameters are defined at the time of deployment
- can be deployed on a multitude of frontend operators, so censorship resistant
- As a borrower, you don't have to worry about debt accumulation because the interest rate is zero
- We’re pleased to see our collaboration with @TheTNetwork also extend to Balancer with this new Quest for the T-WETH 80/20 gauge ! 🎊
Their trust goes straight to our hearts 🧡
