Uniswap V4 hooks have solved the inefficient liquidity problem, and just like PumpFun revolutionized the bonding curve, hooks will revolutionize the underlying liquidity. In honor of $HOOKR hitting ATH’s, I decided to make another video explaining the importance of Hooks. Liquidity pools have failed at maximizing the value of...

zkgm to $U all! as you may know, Union announced its BTCfi Flywheel Point Campaign a few days ago. this program rewards users with points for actions like bridging, providing liquidity through Union. basically, you bring value — Union gives you hourly points in return. the points increase depending on the LST you use, the bridging method, the pool you provided liquidity etc. so, i made a quick tutorial video to help you earn the maximum possible point multiplier in this campaign. but before we jump into the video, let’s take a look at what we’ll need: - $ETH on Ethereum ( $USDT, $USDC, or $DAI also work, but ETH is still needed for gas fees ) - $BABY on Babylon Genesis chain by the end of the video, we’ll have added liquidity to two different uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower, which is a native DEX on Babylon Genesis. let’s get started. #UnionBTCfiFlywheel 00:00 - go to and make a deposit to receive uniBTC. 00:28 - head over to and bridge your uniBTC from Ethereum to Babylon Genesis using Union. this process can take 15–20 minutes depending on Ethereum finality. 01:32 - use to liquid stake your BABY and receive eBABY in return. 01:55 - add liquidity to the uniBTC/eBABY pools on Tower. since these pools currently have very low liquidity, you can only add in small amounts. that’s why i added liquidity in several smaller batches. by doing this, we followed the most optimal path to earn points. you can see the Union point multipliers next to each pool on the Tower interface. currently, there are 3 pools with a 2.5x multiplier, two of them are the ones we added liquidity to. the other one includes pumpBTC, feel free to try that as well. more liquidity for other Union-bridged BTC LSTs will be available over time.

USH, the first native stablecoin on MultiversX, easily explained. TL;DR - USH is an overcollateralized stablecoin (similar in a sense to DAI) built by Hatom Labs (Hatom Labs), natively on the MultiversX blockchain. #USHto1 🔊 Hatom (HTM) is a leading DeFi platform offering 💧 $EGLD and $TAO liquid staking (sEGLD & sTAO) 💱 A Money Market (lending & borrowing) 💵 And, now, USH. --- TIMESTAMPS Introduction - 0:00:09 Exploring Hatom - 0:00:25 USH Isolated Pools Explained - 0:01:00 USH IP Liquidation Explained - 0:01:38 USH Arbitrage Opportunities Explained - 0:03:04 What Else Can You Do With USH - 0:04:29 Open EGLD Long Positions - 0:04:35 Buy Things With USH - 0:05:05 Provide Liquidity to USH-Related Pools - 0:05:20 Conclusion - 0:05:45 --- ## USH Staking Hub and the Isolated Pools The isolated pools are the core and heart of USH minting. So, how do the isolated pools work? Here's an example, supplying $1,000 worth of EGLD as collateral. As an overcollateralized stablecoin, the pool will always require a higher collateral deposit than the maximum possible minting amount. For EGLD, users can only mint 70% of the collateral deposit. Thus, for a $1,000 worth of EGLD deposited to the isolated pool, you could mint a maximum of $700 in USH. This, however, is super risky, and would set your minting limit to 100%. This is risky because if EGLD drops in value against the dollar, for example making your collateral worth $900, your position would be eligible for liquidation, crossing the 100% limit. In an oversimplification of the liquidation mechanism, a liquidator could repay 50% of your USH loan and take 50% plus an 8% penalty of your deposited collateral. In this example, the liquidated user would end with a position of $522 worth of EGLD as collateral. And a debt of $350 in minted USH. His minting limit would now be 95%, temporarily preventing another liquidation. It's worth noting that the liquidation wouldn't affect the USH you are securely holding in your wallet (like xPortal). Just your USH minting debt with the Hatom Protocol. Another user playing safer could, for example, mint only 50% of the available seven hundred dollars for a $1,000 deposit, minting $350 worth of USH. This would have avoided liquidation for the same price drop as before, as the mint limit would increase to 55%, still far from the 100% limit that makes an account eligible for liquidation. These mechanics guarantee that 1 USH is always redeemable for 1 dollar worth of assets in the protocol, opening doors for price arbitrage. **this is an oversimplification of the liquidation mechanism. DYOR! --- ## USH Arbitrage Opportunity (1 USH = 1 USD) Once one USH is always equal to one dollar at a protocol level, traders can arbitrage the USH value in different markets, making sure it will always get back to one dollar. Let's say 1 USH is now equal $1.10 worth of EGLD in xExchange ⚡. Then, users can use the mint function to benefit from this arbitrage opportunity. Depositing EGLD as collateral in the isolated pool. After that, the user can mint USH to sell for EGLD with a premium in the xExchange LP, using this EGLD to replace the deposited collateral, or deposit more to mint more USH and continue selling with a premium until the price is back to one dollar, profiting on the difference (around 10%). The opposite is also true when, for example, 1 USH is worth $0.90 in EGLD. This arbitrage opportunity will appear when repaying USH to get EGLD back. In this case, the user can buy USH with EGLD from the xExchange liquidity pool and use these tokens to repay part of his USH position in the Hatom's isolated pool, withdrawing part of the EGLD collateral. Similar to the other operation, the user can now use this EGLD to buy more USH with a discount on the market and continue the process until the arbitrage opportunity remains, also profiting from it. **this is an oversimplification of the arbitrage mechanism. DYOR! --- ## What Can You Do With USH? Now, besides the arbitrage, here are some other ideas on things you can with USH. ### BUY MORE EGLD First, you can enjoy the 0% interest rate to open long positions on EGLD or other MultiversX tokens. For that, you can deposit EGLD or TAO to the isolated pools, mint USH, and use these dollars to buy, for example, more EGLD. If the price goes up, you can then close the position by selling EGLD for USH, repaying the isolated pool, and withdrawing the EGLD back. ### BUY THINGS WITH USH Another idea is simply using the minted USH to buy things in the MultiversX ecosystem or also in the real world. This can be an interesting idea if you don't want to sell your EGLD, for example, depositing the tokens as collateral and minting USH to use as payment. While the first idea increases the buying pressure, this one can diminish the EGLD selling pressure. Both being beneficial to MultiversX. ### PROVIDE LIQUIDITY Last but not least important, you can use the minted USH to provide liquidity in many DeFi platforms, like the USH EGLD liquidity pool on the xEchange, or the USH USCD USDT LP on AshSwap 🔥. There will be other liquidity pools and farms that users will be able to stake USH and provide liquidity to the ecosystem. --- If you enjoyed the content, make sure you share it!

Midl's Bitcoin Ecosystem Bootstrapping Program is Live Imagine you have a time travel machine. You gently set it to the fall of 2018, witness the birth of Uniswap and ETH still sitting at some humble $100. Now imagine you get the opportunity to commit liquidity to Uniswap to generate future UNI yield from it. And earn ETH on top of that. And it gets better: you’re still not sure if it will skyrocket and you want to play safe. Good news: you don’t have to provide actual liquidity right away, just your wallet balance as an ID. But keep in mind, you’re dealing with groundbreaking pioneers. That’s exactly what the Bootstrapping Program is about. We kill two birds with one stone: giving builders the opportunity to launch with strength, and giving early supporters a chance to earn without overcommitting to build an ecosystem that lasts. With no risks, and no lock-ins till mainnet: generate Midl token rewards and get exposure to the projects that are now building the future of BTCFi with. Soft Staking Explained The Program functions in a soft staking manner. Meaning, you don’t have to put actual assets into the protocol at the spot. See it as a balance snapshot: you enroll via a signature, not an actual staking tx. Rewards accrual depends on that. Use multiple tokens: BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC or even WBTC to finally take it out from Ethereum and bring it to where it belongs. So I get free Midl tokens? Well, not really. After the mainnet launch you’ll have to provide the desired liquidity to the project. Till that moment the funds stay with you. Free will establishment here: if you decide to withdraw from the campaign, you are free to do it anytime. Liquidity Part If you are thinking of asking “With 2T+ locked in there, isn’t it enough to feed everyone?”. Here's the deal: Yes, Bitcoin has enormous liquidity, but it can’t be untapped natively. For now. That brings us back to the chicken and egg question: Midl’s grand aim is to make this liquidity work which could only be done if more builders come to play. And that’s EXACTLY who you are supporting through the Bootstrapping Program. We give you a chance to unlock Bitcoin's potential by helping out teams with the right vision of market demands and improvements needed to be done pre-launch. And that’s how we unlock the existing trillions. Sure, you can just go around, ape into some project that is built on top of the chain that is built on top of another chain, fall into the vicious cycle of competing with farming bots and listening to projects telling you the airdrop was fair (if you like to suffer). We are not keen on doing that. Feel free to check out the secondary TVL of Layer 2s with the Bitcoin’s. And we haven't even plugged in the real DeFi part yet. You contribute = you get transparent reward accrual and real incentive. No additional layers and no guessing whether you’ll be rewarded or not. Contribute directly to Bitcoin, the most trustworthy chain out there.
