    Here, a snapshot of the transaction's detail on Etherscan is provided to provide a breakdown of how the addresses were gathered. On top, there is a contract address which is the address for Rari Capital's DAI Vault. Below that, there is an address that shows the wallet the tokens were transferred to which is considered as the Fuse pool. On the next line, the name of the pool was also mentioned. Further down, a MethodID was stated under the Input Data section which was considered as the signature for the transaction.

    To be able to measure the DAI allocations of Rari Capital's vault, the data in the ez_token_transfers and the fact_event_logs tables of the ethereum_core schema were joined together. The transactions were filtered using the DAI Vault address, and Rari Capital's signature. More importantly, they were filtered considering only the transactions with a PoolAllocation event. Ultimately, the allocations were calculated using the amount_usd column.

    In the following charts, it is demonstrated that the Rari Capital's DAI Vault has been allocated to three Fuse pools in addition to Aave and Compound pools with less than 0.5% of the total allocations which makes them negligible. Among the Fuse pools, Fuse6 with a share of 44% is the largest pool. Fuse18 with a 30% share and Fuse7 with a share of around 25% have the second and third largest allocations, respectively. Cumulatively, all of these pools have accounted for about $30M in allocations.

    The investigation of DAI's monthly allocations has shown that DAIs were increasingly poured into the Fuse pools only until the end of November 2021. Since December 2021, which can be called the start of 2022's bear market, the volume of allocations has immensely decreased.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, it has been determined that the Rari Capital's DAI Vault was allocated to a total of 5 pools with only 3 of them being a Fuse pool. From the overall ~$30M allocations, Fuse6 accounted for the largest share with around 44%. Also, the token allocation was heavily correlated to the crypto market sentiment as it reached its all-time high at the end of November 2021. Since then, it has been drastically decreased in coincidence with the market becoming bearish and the rising of fears, uncertainties, and doubts.
