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.
Swaps + Pools Events On Pylon Protocol
Nov 3, 2021 - Reimagining the future of recurring payments and providing user-friendly platform integrations for the wide scale adoption of crypto, Pylon aims to become a must-have feature of the DeFi future. Pylon Protocol builds on stable yield-bearing protocol such as Anchor Protocol to provide services via retrievable key stablecoin deposits and yield redirection. In essence, users can deposit Terra stablecoins via Pylon in return for access to exclusive content, no-fee subscriptions, perpetual arts patronage or charitable donations, and lossless investments. Upon subscription expiry, users can withdraw their principal in full. On Pylon Gateway, which is Pylon Protocol’s first integrated use case and flagship platform, users can make investments at no-loss by depositing Terra stablecoins for a selected vesting period to earn project tokens and governance rights.

UST Supply VS Luna Price
Dec 7, 2021 - A governance proposal for the network was recently approved to destroy, or burn, about 88 million Luna from the community pool, swapping it for UST, Terra’s stablecoin. UST itself now has a market value of $9.13 billion, compared with $3.8 billion on Nov. 10. Developers of cryptocurrencies often burn coins to increase scarcity. Terra is the fifth-largest smart contract platform by total value locked (TVL) at $11.87 billion, according to data from DeFi Llama. TVL is the total value of the cryptocurrency committed to DeFi protocols that are built on a given blockchain. we will monitors and evaluates the relationship between Luna price and UST supply.
ENS Airdrop Users Behavior
Dec 6, 2021 - What is the ENS Token airdrop? The $ENS token is an important step in further decentralizing the governance of the ENS protocol. The $ENS token empowers the community members to guide its development, community treasury, and technical framework. At 7pm ET Nov 8, 2021 the ENS governance token $ENS launches and the token claim site opens up to start claiming your tokens. If you owned an ENS domain on or before October 31, 2021 when the snapshot was taken, you are eligible to claim $ENS tokens based on the formula calculated on the history of your wallet address. Here’s what’s included in the formula: 1.Age of .ETH address 2.Expiry dates (longer registrations get more $ENS) 3.Owners who have set their Primary ENS, formerly called the Reverse Record, get a 2x multiplier Based on these factors, $ENS tokens will be distributed to all .eth holders wallet addresses. Keep in mind that the distribution is per wallet holder, not per ENS name. There will be a total of 100 million total $ENS tokens, and the distribution is as follows: 1. 25% airdrop to .ETH holders (>137k accounts) 2. 25% to ENS contributors (>100 individuals and groups, plus hundreds of Discord users) 3. 50% to the DAO community treasury
$RUNE Price vs Swapping Volume
Jan 23, 2022 - Governance tokens have many uses, in the Thorchain network the rune token plays the role of a governing token. RUNE is used as a liquidity pool pair for all native tokens from foreign blockchain networks linked to the THORChain network. Therefore, liquidity providers don’t have to submit liquidity pairs as is the case with most DEXs. RUNE is also used to secure the THORChain network as THORChains is secured by a variation of Proof of Stake called Proof of Bond. The PoB consensus protocol requires nodes to commit a RUNE bond of 1 million RUNE tokens to validate transactions in the network as well as participate in other activities in the ecosystem. If the nodes become malicious to the network, their bond is deducted proportionally to the amount of damage they cause. This incentives good behavior across the network. Transaction fees on THORChain are paid in RUNE including trading fees for all swaps. RUNE also serves as the network’s governance token as each RUNE token equates to a vote.

How Swaps Works: Users can swap any assets which are on connected chains and which have been added to the network. Users can swap from any connected asset to any other connected asset. They can also swap from any connected asset to RUNE. https://docs.thorchain.org/roles/swapping
Who Validates the Validators
Dec 12, 2021 - What is a validator? The Terra Core is powered by the Tendermint consensus. Validators run full nodes, participate in consensus by broadcasting votes, commit new blocks to the blockchain, and participate in governance of the blockchain. Validators are able to cast votes on behalf of their delegators. A validator's voting power is weighted according to their total stake What is staking? When Luna holders delegate their Luna to a validator, they are staking. Staking increases a validator's weight, which helps them, and in return delegators get rewarded. what makes an excellent validator? The Columbus-5 Mainnet is a public Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain. This means a validator's weight (total stake) is determined by the amount of staking tokens (Luna) they delegate to themselves plus the Luna bonded to them by external delegators. The weight of a validator determines whether or not they are an active validator and how frequently they can propose a block. Validators with a higher weight will propose more blocks, and in turn make more revenue. Delegators are Luna holders who want to receive staking rewards without the responsibility of running a validator. Through Terra Station, a user can delegate Luna to a validator and in exchange receive a part of a validator's revenue. Staking keeps the network decentralized. In Proof of Stake systems like Terra, staking is an important part to keep the network decentralized and stable. Staking keeps the stakers incentivized by giving out rewards as Luna or any other stable coins. Staking also reduces the circulating supply as it’s considered locked, driving the price up. The biggest benefit is those airdrops. Staking in Terra Station enlist the stakers in the future airdrops. A plethora of apps are in development under the Terra ecosystem and you are eligible for the airdrops by those apps in development by staking. So we check the amount of voting power in the validators and find out which one has more power.
