Swap n' Slippage
Feb 1, 2022 - When cryptocurrency traders place a buy or sell order on an exchange, they typically expect said order to be filled at the exact price they’ve chosen. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case, due to a costly problem called slippage. Slippage happens when traders have to settle for a different price than what they initially requested due to a movement in price between the time the order (say for Bitcoin) enters the market and the execution of a trade. This phenomenon can occur in all markets, like forex and stocks. However, it is more frequent, and a lot worse, in crypto markets (especially on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap) due to the high levels of price volatility. In addition, common pain points that the vast majority of altcoins suffer from such as low volume and liquidity may also contribute to slippage. In this article, we will get acquainted with the Slippage changes in Thorchain and we will see the factors that affect it.

Repayment With Collateral Tokens on AAVE
Nov 7, 2021 - Aave V2 allows you to repay your debt/loans with your deposited collateral.

This requires at least 4 transactions across multiple protocols, costing time and money and making for an overall not-so-seamless experience. This new feature allows users to close their loan positions by paying directly with their collateral in just 1 transaction — smooth and simple.

LUNA Price Prediction
Dec 7, 2021 - LUNA is a native token on the Terra blockchain, launched in 2018 by Terraform Labs. This chain hosts several fiat-pegged stablecoins, such as TerraUSD or TerraKRW, which are often collectively called Terra, too. LUNA has a few purposes in the network, one of which is to stabilize Terra coin prices. It also helps power Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus protocol and grants its holders voting rights. The idea behind Terra is to drive crypto adoption by launching a whole basket of regional fiat-based stablecoins (their prices are broadcast on-chain by oracles) and supporting atomic swaps between them. This facilitates easy, low-fee cross-border transactions that allow its users not to worry about incurring losses due to the volatility usually inherent in crypto prices. Terra’s native token LUNA acts as a balancing token in this network. If any Terra crypto prices get “unhooked” from a fiat currency to which they’re pegged, the network users are incentivized to exchange their LUNA to Terra or vice versa. This makes Terra supply expand or contract, bringing its price back to the price of the fiat. As mentioned before, LUNA is also used for staking by validators and delegators in PoS protocol securing the network. Since LUNA is so vital for the whole Terra ecosystem, long-term LUNA holders get rewards for staking their tokens. They are comprised of gas fees, taxes, and seigniorage rewards for functioning as oracles.

xSushi Total Supply
Jan 24, 2022 - What is xSUSHI? xSUSHI is a token, similar to other SLP tokens, that you receive in exchange for staking SUSHI tokens in the SushiBar on sushiswap platform. While holding the token, it will appreciate in value, as fees from sushiswap exchange platform are "served to the SushiBar." The xSUSHI token is always worth more than a regular SUSHI token, because xSUSHI accrues value from platform fees. When users make trades on the SushiSwap exchange a 0.3% fee is charged. 0.05% of this fee is added to the SushiBar pool in the form of LP tokens. When the rewards contract is called (minimum once per day) all the LP tokens are sold for Sushi (on SushiSwap Exchange). The newly purchased Sushi is then divided up proportionally between all of the xSUSHI holders in the pool, meaning their xSUSHI is now worth more SUSHI. Because of the way the rewards are generated, the price of xSUSHI will increase with the value of SUSHI, and the value of one xSUSHI will always be greater than the value of one SUSHI.
