We're going to update our vaults to have the option to auto compound yield back into your bAssets. We've heard your feedback that you would prefer yield in Luna, $bETH, $bSOL, $bATOM, $bOSMO etc.

We plan to gobble the yield optimizer space within the Cosmos ecosystem.

EthNexus coming by end of Jan. Moar alpha & enhancements coming this week.

On Friday 6pm UTC we invite you to join our community Twitter Spaces hosted by Shigeo808 on Twitter.

During this call we will release the forum containing the new vault strategies we believe will bring
Nexus Protocol to the next level 🔥✅.

If you can't make that time, don't worry the session will be recorded and we will be posting a recap of the topics covered afterwards. We hope to see you there 😤.

Please hang tight… technical difficulties 😪

Massive alpha drop in the form of an updated roadmap for Nexus Protocol on Twitter spaces today. For those of you who were unable to attend here is a link to the recording: https://twitter.com/terraspacesorg/status/1482051016329601026?s=21

The conversation on the Twitter spaces walks through the updated roadmap for Nexus which has now replaced the Litepaper at the top of the landing page. There is a lot of information to go through so feel free to peruse on your own time. As mentioned on the call, along with these product updates we have also been working on token design changes for $Psi which will better align holders of $Psi with the long term goal of the protocol.

We hope you are as excited as we are for what's in store in Roadmap 2.0 😤🔥

GM - We hope you enjoy the new Dashboard 🥵🔥👀

https://terra.nexusprotocol.app/

We are opening up two new channels on our Discord: (1. 🐲│labs , 2. ⚖│lp-money-market). The purpose of these channels will be to discuss product ideas, feedback, and suggestions for each of the respective product categories.

Nexus Product Categories:
- Vaults: Safer, more stable & predictable yields
- Labs: More risky, higher upside products
- LP Money Market: Self explanatory

See the forum here (https://forum.nexusprotocol.app/t/nexus-2022-plans/26) to learn about how each of the new products we are working on is categorized into these buckets.

We are also regularly checking & engaging on the forum as well, so if you want to post questions or feedback directly on the forum we will be responsive there as well.

The time has come to migrate your liquidity from Terraswap to Astroport.

We have tried to make this a very simple 3 step process. You can see the 3 step process in the attached Tweet.

🚨Make sure you complete these steps if you have liquidity to migrate because as of now you will no longer receive $Psi rewards for liquidity if you do not migrate to Astroport. 🚨

Once you have migrated, you will begin receiving dual incentives ($Psi and $Astro).

NOTE: The displayed APR on our front end only shows APR from the $Psi rewards, but you are actually receiving $ASTRO on top of those rewards. We are working with the Astroport team on updating our UI to also show the $ASTRO rewards in the displayed APR.

Hi everyone 👋

We have seen many questions in our Discord regarding the absence of the Mirror Delta Neutral vault and the Optimal Mode upgrade in our Roadmap 2.0. While we did address this publicly on Twitter spaces, for those of you who missed that you may not have gotten the full picture on why those items have been de-prioritized.

We hope this provides some more context on the subject. Would also like to add that our team is currently working full steam ahead on all major priorities, and I could not be more bullish on Nexus as a whole. Our team consists of 13 badasses, and I really believe wagmi 🤝

Update on the Mirror Delta Neutral strategy:

- When we initially set out to create this vault the price of mirror was able to support a delta neutral yield output that was significantly higher than the Anchor Earn rate. As time passed and the MIR rewards became more diluted per mAssets & the price of mirror fell, the strategy became less useful to the point where our simulations couldn't produce consistent returns higher than Anchor Earn with even a small amount of capital being deployed.

Update on the Optimal Mode upgrade:

- Similarly for the Optimal Mode upgrade, as the net distribution apr falls within Anchor, the incremental benefit of raising the LTV from the vault becomes significantly smaller. Our latest simulations produced an increase of less than 1% apr for bringing the LTV ratio of the bAsset vaults up to 99% LTV. The risk that our users absorb by by making this upgrade is not negligible, especially considering Anchor price oracle is planning to use new logic via Chainlink. Thus we believe that the optimal mode should be revisited and weighted with benefit against the risk once the new price oracle mechanism for Anchor is fully implemented, settled and tested.

Important Note:

- Neither the Mirror Delta Neutral vault or the upgrade to Optimal Mode are not permanently off the table for us to build. We have simply prioritized products and upgrades that we think will deliver significantly more value to our community in the short and long term. We are confident that the products we have laid out in Roadmap 2.0 are much less susceptible to having their utility be impacted by hyper volatile profit parameters (part of the reason we have increased them on the priority list for us). In the future if it makes more sense to prioritize working on the Mirror Delta Neutral vault, or the Optimal Mode upgrade, we will do so as we already have preliminary schematics for the builds.

Hope this overview provides some clarity on why we de-prioritized the Mirror Delta Neutral strategy and the Optimal Mode upgrade. As always, open to conversation around this if you have any questions or concerns.

Hey everyone

We hope everyone is doing well and staying safe during these dark times. Our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone effected by whats happening in Ukraine.

It has been awhile since our last update. As such we wanted to provide some updates on the development status for our key priorities. There have been some unexpected challenges which have lead to the launch timeline for EthNexus & the bAsset vault upgrade specifically to be pushed back a couple weeks.

If you have any questions about these updates, feel free to hit us up in #general or other channels in our Discord👍

EthNexus:



- EthNexus will be the next core product offering we ship. We built this to be the easiest way for Ethereum native users to bridge their assets to Terra and begin earning yield. In the future, if the demand is evident, EthNexus V2 will provide a single button deposit and withdraw of stETH or ETH holders with Metamask wallet users. Nexus will also be expanded to other chains in the future and Nexus will become the “gateway” for users of other L1 chains to access the Terra ecosystem with their native assets and familiar wallets. This past week we came across an issue related to the Wormhole SDK which we need to bring EthNexus to life. We are in direct contact with the Wormhole team working to resolve the issue, but it has caused a delay in our launch timeline for this product. The revised timeline for EthNexus is now the 2nd week of March.


bAsset vault upgrade:



- We are upgrading our vaults to automatically switch between purely holding bLuna (collecting yield), and utilizing bLuna as a collateral to execute Anchor Borrow yield strategy based on whichever strategy has higher expected returns at some given point in time. We will also be including the option for users to receive their yield auto-compounded back into more nLuna and nEth. We plan to ship this upgrade alongside the launch of EthNexus (2nd week of March).



Bond Issuance Program:



- One of the other initiatives we’ve been working on is PoL (our Bond Issuance Program). Establishing protocol owned liquidity is still a key priority for Nexus. We see this as being important for the longterm health and sustainability of the protocol. This product is now complete from a development standpoint. However, in terms of timing of releases we would prefer to ship products which attract more TVL before shipping our Bond Issuance Program. As such we will be targeting the back half of March for a launch date for this program.

More details and related government proposal will be presented in advance (very Early March) to accommodate necessary updates.

Additional Updates:



- Development on the LP Money Market, and the Mirror Short Leveraged aUST farm has begun. We have been working on the back end schematics for the Cephii on-chain grid bot, which will be moving into development shortly. We are tentatively targeting Q2 for release of all three products. We have also been working on designs for a new product which we consider to be a huge opportunity. We will share more about this after we ship the products & upgrades we are currently working on.

Go check out Spectrum's governance proposal to activate an auto-compounder for our $nLuna vault ✅ 🗳️

This vault will add even more yield than we could offer from auto-compounding on our own thanks to the additional $SPEC rewards 💪

We have had a number of reports from users that tx results have been slow to populate on the Nexus frontend.

Tl;Dr:

- This issue is purely related to how quickly results from tx's are being displayed on the Nexus front end. All smart contracts are working normally. Please give some time for the front end to populate. We are monitoring the situation and hope to have it resolved soon.

Detailed Recap:

- The current issue is due to issue with Public LCD: We utilize our own nodes to the power protocol side of the functions, such as indexer. However, we direct client's server to a public LCD to check their balance and status because 1) normally it's sufficient 2) not heavy usuage/load on public LCD 3) can save cost for us 4) not much room for error (miscalculation et al). Because of this, many Terra protocol atm are also experiencing similar issues.

- Public LCD is being maintained by public LCD providers, so we believe the issue should be resolved soon.

- In the future, although we would be maintain to use public lcd for client side, we would consider to switching to run the client side on our own nodes as well if this issue continues to happen often.

Hey everyone,

we are so excited to announce that EthNexus will available live for Testnet on Monday March 14. We will share login information on Monday so you can start playing around.

We built EthNexus to be the easiest way for Eth native users to bridge their assets to Terra and begin earning yield.

This will be the single largest update to Nexus since we launched our first vaults.

As a part of the upgrade we have completely re-designed the vault page interface to show users much more information about what is happening within each specific strategy. Additionally, Auto-compounding in the nAsset vaults will be enabled as an option within the vault page UI. Future vaults will have this same layout to provide a consistent user experience.

In the future, EthNexus will be expanded to other chains and Nexus will become the “gateway” for users of other L1 chains to access the Terra ecosystem with their native APEX assets.

This has been in the making for a long time, and has taken considerable development resources to build out. We hope you will enjoy, see you on Monday 🎊

Hi everyone,

We are now opening our testnet for our community to help test EthNexus. The Nexus team will be actively managing our discord server to field any issues or bugs that may be identified during the testing period. Testnet is currently only available on Desktop, we will be opening mobile access later this week.

NOTE: The Ethereum based testnet we are using for EthNexus (Ropsten) is currently undergoing heavy network congestion. This may cause various parts of the process to be slower than usual while testing. This may also affect your ability to get Eth added in testnet using the faucet mentioned below.

Testnet access information:
staging address - https://staging.nexusprotocol.app/ login/pass - testuser/exyxpN5SHEzbBz2tKqGp4BuTkR2zmX

Setup:

Setting up Testnet Wallets ~

1. Need a Metamask wallet set to the Ropsten Test Network. You can enable this by toggling the “Show test networks” option in the advanced settings menu for Metamask. Once you have enabled this, the Ropsten Test Network should be visible as a network option from the dropdown at the top of your Metamask wallet.

2. Need to switch your Terrastation wallet to Testnet. This can be easily down through the setting option within your extension wallet.


Getting testnet assets ~

1. Ropsten testnet Eth: You will need Ropsten testnet Eth in order to process the Ethereum based transactions. You can get this testnet Eth by using this faucet (https://ropsten.oregonctf.org/). Depending on network congestion it may take some time for the testnet Eth to appear in your wallet.

2. Testnet Luna: You will need testnet Luna to complete the Terra based transactions. You can use this faucet to get testnet Luna (https://faucet.terra.money/).

Once you have set your wallets to the correct testnet settings (Ropsten & standard testnet for Terra), and you have testnet assets (Eth and Luna) in those wallets, you are ready to begin testing 🥳.

Testing Instructions:

To test EthNexus, visit theVault tab on the Webapp, and select the Ethereum network located at the top of the page. This page will have more information regarding the process once it gets deployed to Mainnet. From there the process should be fairly straightforward, just follow the prompts.

What we need from you:

Please report any feedback you have on the process. Specifically we are interested in any found bugs, and errors, but would also love to hear feedback on overall experience and process flow from a users perspective.

Thank you for being a part of the EthNexus testnet. Your feedback and help in testing is vitally important 🤝✅

If you would like to help with this testing process we would ask that you prioritize jumping in over the next couple of days. We want to close the testing window for the desktop UI sometime around the middle of the week 👍

Hi everyone,

Recently a few community members notified us that they were observing a lower APY interest rate from the nAsset vaults than what was being displayed on the Nexus front end. After investigation from our side it looks like the Nexus smart contract has been withholding the some yield coming from the Anchor Earn portion of the deposits.

This unpaid yield has been accumulating in the Nexus smart contract. We have created a distribution system for compensating users for the missing yield to make them whole. At the moment, we cannot disclose the method for how this yield will be paid out due to risk of abuse.

The smart contract issue which caused this withholding of interest paid is thankfully a relatively simple fix. We plan to have the issue fully resolved within the next 48 hours. We will notify the community when the issue is resolved on the smart contract side & when the unpaid yield has been distributed to impacted users.

We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused you, and sincerely thank you for being a part of the Nexus community.

Hi everyone,

We wanted to provide an update and some clarity on how the yield distribution from this will follow:

We will be using snapshots taken multiple times per day dating back to January 29th to distribute the overflow yield. This is the furthest record back we have access to for nAsset holders. We plan to distribute the yield within 1 week from today. This will be claimable via airdrop, except for Spec holders who will have their yield automatically rolled into their vault position. We will be pushing the vault fix to remedy the ongoing yield in the next 24 hours.

We will continue to share updates / info as we close out this process. If you have questions or concerns about this info, please connect with us on discord.
