L2 optimism (DeFi)

Read Now
 
Layer 2 DeFi economy on Optimism.
Op token started with big airdrop.
https://www.optimism.io/

They are incentivizing heavily for optimism network users. 
List of Dapps are here;
​https://www.optimism.io/apps/all

Rewarding the early users, great!
Here is to share the current rewards status. 
Picture
Main project on optimism is Synthetix and there are number of projects on top of it such as Thales (Option, Betting market) and Kwenta (Dex). 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Reward rates
  • SNX current staking reward is 18%, not as high as before. 
  • Thales has 130% APY LP staking with THALES and OP token.
  • Kwenta single staking is 116% APY, and around 300% APY for LP staking (KWENTA-WETH) via arrakis (https://beta.arrakis.finance/vaults). 

Velodrome has been the juicy platform.
https://app.velodrome.finance/

Velodrome is the fork of Solidly, https://solidly.exchange/
Andre Crojnes project, yes, good. 
Picture
It is like Curve with upto 4 years lock to get 1:1 vested escrow. 
And on Velodrome, you can sell the VeToken which is NFT, like what Andre did on Solidly. 
What Convex has done was to convert crv to cvxcrv to be able to trade because vecrv is not able to transfer and boost the reward. And YFI is the strategy aggregator. 

Velodrome is currently having massive support from OP incentive.
Your initial investment of VeVELO can instantly get back by OP token. 
https://dune.com/0xkhmer/velodrome-airdrop
Picture
LP staking and the fair reward system has been the key issue for DeFi, it is being said that Uniswap V3 isn't great to liquidity provider but there is a project called arrakis to incentivize the LP on Thales and Kwenta. 

Velodrome's incentive system with bribe and the reward goes to voters seems working and the op incentive is huge for new comers. almost zero risk to start (you can get instant profit as well).

Let's see what wins.

Crypto market indicator

Read Now
 
Just sharing something to see crypto market sentiment which is the price of SBD (Steem Dollars). 

No explaining about the token but if you are in crypto during 2017 and you know.
 1 SBD supposed to be 1 USD but;
​
Bull market = 1 SBD above 1 USD and up trend
Bear market = SBD down trend and 1SBD => 1 USD is a bottom sign

​It is surprising accurate so far. 
Picture
It looks getting closer to 1 SBD = 1 USD which is a starting of bottom sign and expect years of side way, it was 2 years of side way 2018 - 2020.

Let's see if this still works.

MZDAO
https://www.mzdao.jp/

Community driven DAO project.
500 JPY per month to join. 
Picture
DeFi DAO: It is hard to tell if it is working through my experience but more public than traditional companies for sure. Anyone can join but not easy to understand what people are talking about if you are not in the industry. Votes tend to go to make the big voters/holders profitable, yes fair enough. But doing too much cause losing trust and drives the value of the group/ token low. same philosophy as Bitcoin.

MZDAO: It just started, I will share my thoughts later. It's idea to share company success with members not owners.

NFT Games, how fun, how much money

Read Now
 
This is my experience of NFT games which I played past year that includes;
  • How fun it is, rates 0 - 10
  • How much money I made while playing
  • Still playing?
There are 5 games here in this article (I played more though) and they are all fun. 
Making money is totally a side business in my opinion. I think most of players play because it is fun. 
1 Axie Infinity
​https://axieinfinity.com/
  • Rates 9, It was fun, I stopped playing because it was addictive.
  • I was making about 100USD /month around November 2021 by regular play. I did not manage to be a good player to win prizes. 
  • Too addictive, therefore not playing now
Picture
2 Gods Unchained
https://godsunchained.com/
  • Rates 9, Again, it a was fun card game. It was also fun because I was doing ok, ranked highest band at some point. 
  • I was making about 100 USD per month5 - 10 GODS weekly while playing around 4 USD per GODS
  • Too addictive, therefore not playing now 
Picture
3 Sandbox
https://www.sandbox.game/en/
  • Rates 8, fun game with many quests. I like action games, this isn't a card game like above
  • I made about few hundreds USD per playing a season, it is hard to tell because there are many of claim token by staking sands and owning lands. 
  • I stopped because they started requiring KYC with my photo of face and ID. Nothing shady but I feel too much for just playing a game
Picture
4 Illuvinum
https://www.illuvium.io/
  • Rates 7, It is fun though still beta version so I rated little low. Auto battle system so that this is like strategic game without cards and control actions. It seems hard to make bots due to many of configurable feature.
  • Not making any money, still beta version, expecting airdrop :)
  • I am still playing but trying to do too much
Picture
5 CryptoKnights
https://cryptoknights.games/
  • Rate 7, beta version. scroll action card game. 
  • I amade some RUBY, in-game currency but it was gone when updated the game . The token is not tradable yet.
  • Not playing now, waiting for official release so that I can keep all my progress.

​https://www.stacks.co/
Picture
Hiro wallet is both browser and desktop wallet for stacks app.
https://www.hiro.so/wallet

You will need hiro desktop to solo stake STX. APY is 7 - 11% currently. 

Stacking detail is here;
https://stacking.club

You will need 140,000 STX = 57,400 USD as of now to stack solo

Or 

Stake here for less amount and you will also get NFT

DeFi: Staking on L2

Read Now
 
Sideway market is boring. Staking on Optimism has been great.

1: Synthetix (SNX)
https://staking.synthetix.io/

124.54% on OP
Great

FYI
45.01% on Mainnet

Reward claim TX cost is less than a dollar.
It costs a lot more (I remember it went as far as 60$) on mainnet, surely depending on gas fee.

Why not migrate to L2 for more APY and cheaper tx fee

Note that there is 1 year escrow so that you can not move the staking rewards till then but can stake them.  
Picture
2: Thales
https://thalesmarket.io/markets

Crypto derivative market

207.89% for LP reward
Great

I prefer single staking though

They started bribe with OP which giving additional 77.43% o top of THALES APR​
Picture
3: Curve
​https://optimism.curve.fi/factory/0

4.238% APY

not much but there is no need to worry about price change as you will be staking stable coin(s). 
Picture
Conclusion
SNX staking is profitable, not inly staking reward but also trading fee for the stakers. 

Example staking strategy
1: Stake SNX and get sUSD
2: Stake sUSD on Curve or convert to WETH and THALES to LP stake on THALES for more APY
3: Be careful of SNX liquidation

This is about how to mint More Loot (mLoot) and to check the rarity in order to mint effectively. 

The crypt will be releasing chapter 2 for mLoot holders
https://thecrypt.game/

This may help for you to win the raid
​
Link to mint
https://etherscan.io/address/0x1dfe7ca09e99d10835bf73044a23b73fc20623df#writeContract

Check Rarity
https://mloot.art/#/

Below is the website to mint
1: connect to web3 (Metamask)
Picture
2: go to 2 "claim"
make sure the number (TokenID) you put is unclaimed otherwise transaction fee will be nearly 1 ETH = 3000USD. 
It should cost 20USD with gas cost with 30gwei
Picture
Left is the NG and right is the ok. 
You can go ahead with NG if you have ETH more than the cost. (And going to lose)
Picture
Picture
That's it.
I minted 50+ with putting random numbers and found this website
​https://mloot.art/#/
Picture
I have already spend time and lowest (Rarest) rarity number I claimed is around 5000.
​1 is the highest and bigger the lower rarity.
​Try to find lower and unclaimed
​Under 10,000 is hard to find. Most of them are already claimed

This is the bag with #1
https://mloot.art/#/address/0x99fc8cb20c8dfebb9742d72f47be98f9845b7e7f

Dark Planet

Read Now
 
Dark Planetのプレイの仕方を説明します。
​https://www.darkplanets.world/

Dark PlanetはRarity Rarity ManifestedというAndreがオープンソース作ったゲームのキャラクターを用いた戦略ゲームです。
Picture
まずはキャラクターが必要なのでサモンします。
https://darkplanets.vercel.app/summon

Dark Planetのプレイ上今のところ何をサモンしても同じですがサイドクエストでクラフトに使うものを稼ぐことも考えるとFighterがいいです。
Picture
まずはDXPの稼ぎ方から始めます。DXPはまだ使えませんがこれから始まるPlanet戦に向けての必要なエナジーです。
​https://darkplanet-dxp.vercel.app/
Picture
右上のSelect Summonersからサモンしたキャラクターを選び移動させます。
Exploreでランダムに場所を選びます。
その際に
- まだLand Feeが0の土地が多いので "Land Fee 0.0 FTM"を選んだ方がお得です。出ないとFee分のFTMをLand Ownerに支払います。
Land Feeについては後ほど説明します。
- サモナー10人以下を選びます。でないとDXPが稼げません。

そして”Teleport”で移動します。
Picture
下記の土地にTeleportしました。
2サモナーでFee0です。
”Activate”を押しましょう。
Picture
すると下記のようになるので完了です。
注意点は72時間でDXPの獲得期間が終わるので3日後にまた別の土地に移動します。
​72時間のフルで2400DXPくらい稼げます。
Picture

ではRarity Landの土地について
​https://darkplanets.vercel.app/rarityland
Picture
サモナーをクリックし、土地をClaimしましょう。現時点で10FTMです。
Land Feeもここで設定できます。
ここをまだ設定指定いないひとが多いので無料で使える土地が多いわけです。
これを設定し誰かが自分の所有している土地に入ってきた場合FTMが稼げます。
Picture

Land Feeを1にセットしたので下記のように確認できます。
またX coordinate, Y coordinateでもサモナーが動かせますがUI的に
https://darkplanet-dxp.vercel.app/
でやった方が簡単です。

Picture
まだ始まっていませんがここでPlanetをMintできます。
https://www.darkplanets.world/darkplanet
現時点で120FTMです。

今後このPlanetでの冒険でDXPが必要になるわけです。
Picture
最後にxDPについて
https://darkplanet-finance.vercel.app/

DPのStakingにより獲得できます。
Spooky Swapでも買えますが DPトークンが必要です。
https://spookyswap.finance/swap
Picture
xDPについては下記の通り
​https://medium.com/@geekery_eth/dark-planet-governance-token-xdp-20244948a276
Picture
次はPlanet戦が始まったらアップデートします。
