🌚UST DRAMMA | LUNA REKT???🌝 PART 1
Ok, first of all, what had actually happened?
UST algorithmic stablecoin which was supported only by LUNA with APR 20% on Anchor. Guess WHY LUNA price pumped so hard? Because people were buying LUNA and then minting UST to stake it with 20% APR. That’s why maaaany other layers 1 copied it to pump their tokens too and now we have algorithmic stablecoin from Near, TRON, and Waves.
WHY UNPEGGED?
Long story short, the market price went down, luna went down, people were panicking and withdrew money from Anchkor and UST. Domino effect.
RESULTS:
LOOOTS of people lost their money, LUNA is down 98%!!! It’s the biggest failure ever. UST was added to many lending protocols, yield aggregators, and dexes which means people's actives were liquidated. Many projects kept their companies’ funds in UST on Anchor, they also recked.
To save UST Terra LUNA had to sell 40К BTC. How do you think it affected the market? Before. 4-5 May, Jump Crypto took 74 400 ETH from Lido to buy back UST and support the price, which also influenced the ETH price.
After that UST is still unpegged, and LUNA's price is less than $0.5.
Now they want to print more LUNA to help UST, which means LUNA will go down even more! Just do simple math, how many Luna should they print to support LUNA price? Mathematically it's almost impossible to save UST only by mining LUNA. To ensure collateralization 1:1$ they need more than $6.47B.

🌚UST DRAMMA | LUNA REKT???🌝 PART 2
LUNA IS A BIG COMPANY, THEY CAN’T DIE:
Yes, terra has a big ecosystem, but check the chart on defillama, they started to grow after offering APR for UST. ~70% of transactions and 65% TVL were from ANCHOR and UST.
Terra foundation has probably more than 50 employees with a salary of more than $100k a year for each of them. People were paid in UST and LUNA. Do they happy now? Do you think now Terra foundation which liquidated most of its money has enough treasury funds to pay salaries and operate such a huge organization?
FUN FACT:
Do Kwon, Luna founder also was one of the Basis Cash creators (failed algorithmic stable from 2020)
https://www.coindesk.com/tech/2022/05/11/usts-do-kwon-was-behind-earlier-failed-stablecoin-ex-terra-colleagues-say/
LET'S HELP LUNA:
What are you going to save and what is the price for saving? How much more crypto do they need to sell to support UST? Who gonna pay it? Now they telling people to buy LUNA and support them. OK. But there is no actual plan besides minting LUNA and asking the community to pump it back.

UST’s Do Kwon Was Behind Earlier Failed Stablecoin, Ex-Terra Colleagues Say
Basis Cash, an algorithmic stablecoin project founded by the anonymous “Rick” and “Morty” in 2020, was actually the work of Terraform Labs employees.

MEME COINS. HERE WE GO AGAIN.
🤑💶 27,024% on shitcoin within 24 hours. 💷
Probably, you could have noticed that the DOGE climbed another 15.81% on Tuesday, adding to substantial gains made over the weekend. The main reason behind that is the DOGE CHAIN. Yes, DOGE finally has a chain, but NOT from the official team.
NEW CHAIN = FORKED DEFI PROTOCOLS = DOGE SWAP ( Uniswap fork), where all other forks and projects will be listed.
You can see that more than 500 shitcoins were already listed there, and many gave ~6X profit.
🤡 THE SCHEME: how they earn 🤡
- people transfer DOGE to the doge chain and receive WWDOGE ( wraped Doge)
- transactions fee are also in WWDOGE
- users buy a coin, all pairs listed only with WWDOGE ( DOGE price up )
- projects withdraw liquidity from the pool. RUGGED.
💸 HOW CAN YOU HUSTLE: how you earn 💸
- Send you DOGE to the DOGE CHAIN. Instruction.
- Check new listed projects (just listed, like 1 hour ago)
- DYOR
- Buy coin on the DOGE SWAP, wait for a quick 3-4X profit
- Sell it until you get rugged
⚠️ RISKS:
- Dogebridge is a CENTRALIZED bridge, which means they can control your money ( and even not give them back to you )
- Small liquidity on the dex + a project can withdraw liquidity any time

☠️CRYPTO HACK STATISTIC☠️
As we can see DeFi protocols has 99% of all crypto hacks and rugs in 2022. Sounds scary but here are some tips and tricks on how to protect your funds:
1. Blockchains should be integrated to CEXes.
Don’t keep your money in the blockchain which has only one main bridge. Check that other bridges has at least 50M liquidity + integrated centralized exchanges (can deposit stables using that blockchain).
2. Algostables doesn’t work.
Or better to say it works until it doesn’t. Don’t fall for big APR and staking schemes, you will earn nothing.
3. If a token is crushing leave it to die.
Buying something because "it's already down 90%" is literally one of the fastest ways to rekt town. (c) sassal.eth. Don’t be afraid to cut losses and stop averaging your position.
4. UTILITY IS MUST
JPEGs are down like a lot and probably will drop more. If your NFT is not:
- ART OBJECT from ARTIST (not a girl, who starts to paint yesterday),
- REAL OBJECT,
- something you just wanna buy for yourself
- gaming NFT (from working game (with users (and demand)))
DO NOT BUY IT.
5. Sometimes bridges with less money are safer.
Yep, sounds weird, but If you want to provide your funds and earn APY using bridge better to do it on the new platforms:
- they give you better APR + their tokens
- more chance that someone decides to hack a bridge with 50M+ than 100K. Too much work for that small reward.

📲🔎 veTokenomic. Invest in tokens which won't be dumped. 🔎📲
The main goal of DeFi 1.0 users was to farm as many tokens and then dump them for compounded returns.
Some people get their APY -> Token price dumps. -> Other people lose money -> Everyone takes their funds and leaves the protocol.
It has been more than a year since people started to talk about DeFi 2.0, where protocols own the liquidity. However, there are not many successful examples of such projects. What we can see is just an improvement of DeFi 1.0 and moving to veTokenomics.
TLDR:
The main objective here is how to increase TVL without over-inflating circulating CRV supply.
Working models in veTokenomics:
1. Irreversible lock for long period, ex. 3 years. If you choose to farm and dump CRV, you’ll get be betting against your own CRV position.
2. Using LP tokens for vote-escrow. Allow users to influence their APY.
3. Staked tokens and veTokens are accrued over time. Withdraw anytime, but lose the boost.
4. Early unlocks with a penalty, which is redistributed to other veToken holders. The percentage of penalty depends on the protocol.
5. Ve(3,3) rebase mechanism. Every rebase user claims and restakes tokens to restore voting power.
