Incubated by YZi Labs (Binance Labs). Backed by Spartan Group and Susquehanna. Saylor featured the founder at Strategy World Conference -- not a retweet, the actual conference stage. And the weird part -- their stablecoin has zero STRC exposure. The yield comes from STRC dividends, but USDat holders never touch it.</p><p>I am pulling it apart. Here&#8217;s everything -- <strong>how it works</strong>, the 5 layers of DeFi strategies built on top, the structured credit mechanics nobody&#8217;s explaining, the risks at every layer, and <strong>whether the farming math actually worth it</strong></p><p>This is a long one. Grab coffee.</p><div><hr></div><h1>First, You Need to Understand $STRC</h1><p>You can&#8217;t understand Saturn without understanding what it&#8217;s built on.</p><h2>What is Strategy Inc?</h2><p>Strategy Inc (formerly MicroStrategy) is a Nasdaq-listed company that pivoted from enterprise software to becoming a Bitcoin treasury company. Their playbook: raise money through capital markets, buy Bitcoin, hold it forever.</p><p>The problem: how do you keep raising money to buy more Bitcoin without diluting your common shareholders (MSTR holders)?</p><h2>STRC -- The Money Machine</h2><p>$STRC is Strategy&#8217;s Variable Rate Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock. Think of it like a bond that never matures but pays dividends forever.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Par value: $100/share.</strong> Strategy wants STRC to trade near $100</p></li><li><p><strong>Dividend: ~11.5% annually</strong>, paid monthly in cash. 100 shares ($10K) = ~$1,150/year, ~$96/month</p></li><li><p><strong>Variable rate mechanism:</strong> Strategy adjusts the dividend rate monthly based on 30-day VWAP and SOFR. Below par = raise rate to attract buyers. Above par = can lower it</p></li><li><p><strong>Capital raise mechanic:</strong> When STRC trades at/above $100, Strategy issues NEW shares and uses proceeds to buy Bitcoin. No MSTR dilution</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png" width="767" height="785" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/ce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:785,&quot;width&quot;:767,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:86954,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://2lambroz.substack.com/i/198544701?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!y3U-!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fce78db73-7e46-4e11-a671-2fa451b5e63f_767x785.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h2>The Flywheel in Reverse</h2><p>BTC crashes hard -&gt;

Saturn mints USDat through M0 (backed by Treasuries). You stake USDat into sUSDat. Protocol converts Treasury collateral into STRC. STRC pays 11.5% annual dividends monthly. Dividends accrue to sUSDat exchange rate. You earn ~9.8%.</p><p>Not emissions. Not funding rates.

In the next stress event, this difference matters.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png" width="725" height="496" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:496,&quot;width&quot;:725,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:68730,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://2lambroz.substack.com/i/198544701?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!TavD!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd65c4135-0eda-43a0-9826-fb17896403c1_725x496.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h2>How USDat Keeps Its Peg</h2><p>Three mechanisms:</p><p><strong>1. 100% Treasury backing.</strong> USDat is fully backed by tokenized US Treasuries via M0.

Saturn: Pendle 38% / Morpho 34% / Curve 27%. Healthier distribution -- less dependent on a single venue.</p><div><hr></div><h1>The 5 Layers of Saturn DeFi Strategies</h1><p>This is where it gets interesting. Saturn&#8217;s ecosystem has 5 layers, each building on the one below. From simple to complex, from safe to degen.</p><h2>Layer 0: Saturn Protocol (Base Layer)</h2><p>Action Yield Risk Points Mint USDat 0% Near zero (Treasury risk only) 7x Stake USDat -&gt; sUSDat ~9.8% STRC NAV exposure 1x</p><p>USDat is safe but earns nothing. sUSDat earns ~9.8% but you take STRC price risk. Almost everyone (99%) has chosen sUSDat.</p><h2>Layer 1: Curve (Swap Liquidity + LP)</h2><p>Pool TVL APY Points USDC/USDat $21.7M 0.72% 20x USDC/sUSDat $3.5M 49.9% 18x</p><p>Curve USDC/USDat at 20x is the highest non-YT points multiplier. Since both tokens peg to $1, IL is minimal. You&#8217;re farming points on a stablecoin pair. Lowest complexity way to farm hard.</p><h2>Layer 2: Pendle (Fixed Yield + Yield Speculation)</h2><p>Pendle splits any yield-bearing token into two pieces. PT (Principal Token) = buy at discount, redeem at full value at maturity. Your &#8220;fixed rate&#8221; play. YT (Yield Token) = captures all variable yield until maturity, then expires at zero. Your &#8220;leveraged yield bet.&#8221;</p><p>Market PT fixed APY YT Points LP Points Maturity USDat 8.91% 30x 15x Aug 27 sUSDat 12.41% 10x 5x Aug 27 srUSDat 11.59% 15x 7.5x Aug 27 jrUSDat 12.60% 10x 5x Aug 27</p><p><strong>PT-USDat at 8.91% is the standout.</strong> Discounted USDat that redeems 1:1 at maturity. Underlying is T-bills, not STRC. Zero STRC NAV risk. 8.91% fixed for ~3 months. That&#8217;s 2x what any T-bill fund pays.</p><p><strong>YT-USDat at 30x</strong> is the degenerate play. You buy the yield stream of USDat (which is 0% base yield -- purely farming points). Your entire principal decays to zero at maturity. Need the airdrop value to exceed what you paid.</p><h2>Layer 3: Strata Markets (Yield Tranching)</h2><p>This is where Saturn gets genuinely innovative.</p><p>Strata takes sUSDat and splits it into two tranches -- like Wall Street structured credit, but on-chain and transparent.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Strategy can cut dividends. The dynamic reserve allocation provides a buffer -- but it also means yield drops to zero faster than competitors.</p><p><strong>sUSDat demand collapse post-airdrop.</strong> 9.8% yield is below Apyx&#8217;s 13%. If the token disappoints and yield stays lower, capital migrates.</p><p><strong>Custodial / counterparty risk.</strong> Clear Street and Securitize are the off-chain trust anchors. Accountable provides real-time proof-of-reserves (better than monthly attestations), but the BVI fund structure still means trusting a legal entity.</p><h2>Tier 2: Position-Specific Risks</h2><p><strong>3-7 day withdrawal queue.</strong> Better than Apyx&#8217;s 20 days. But in a STRC crash, everyone exits simultaneously. Settlement could extend.</p><p><strong>Morpho loop liquidation.</strong> 5x leverage + STRC price drop = wipeout.</p><p><strong>Pendle YT decay.</strong> 30x points sounds great until your principal hits zero at maturity.</p><p><strong>30-day yield vesting.</strong> Exit before 30 days, lose unvested yield. A gotcha competitors don&#8217;t have.</p><h2>Tier 3: Tail Risks</h2><p><strong>Death spiral.</strong> BTC crash -&gt; STRC below $85 -&gt; dynamic reserve flips to 0% STRC -&gt; yield drops to zero -&gt; mass exits -&gt; protocol sells STRC into a falling market -&gt; NAV drops further.</p><p><strong>Multi-protocol cascade.</strong> Saturn + Apyx + xStocks = $260M+ of on-chain STRC. All flowing through Pendle, Morpho, Curve. Five protocols deep on leverage loops. If one breaks, they all feel it.

That&#8217;s 2x what any T-bill fund pays, with no STRC downside. The premium exists because Gravity Points demand inflates USDat prices, creating a discount on PTs. You&#8217;re getting paid for other people&#8217;s speculation.</p><div><hr></div><h1>My Take</h1><p>Saturn is architecturally better than Apyx. The clean separation between USDat (Treasury-backed, zero STRC risk) and sUSDat (full STRC exposure) is a genuinely smarter design. You choose your risk. Apyx blends it all together -- you can&#8217;t hold apxUSD without STRC downside. Saturn lets you.</p><p>The dynamic reserve allocation is the other thing nobody&#8217;s talking about. When BTC drops and Strategy gets overleveraged, Saturn auto-shifts reserves to Treasuries. Yield drops to zero but your principal is protected. Apyx doesn&#8217;t have this. In the next STRC stress event, this difference matters.</p><p>But better design doesn&#8217;t mean better returns. sUSDat pays 9.8%. apyUSD pays 13%. That&#8217;s a 30% yield gap.</p><p><strong>The Binance question.</strong></p><p>YZi Labs incubated Saturn. Spartan led seed. Susquehanna participated. This is a Binance-aligned project, and historically YZi Labs projects have a higher chance of getting listed on Binance. That&#8217;s the bull case.</p><p>The flip side: Binance Labs typically holds a token allocation, and there&#8217;s often a requirement to airdrop tokens to Binance holders (BNB stakers, Launchpool, etc.). That dilutes the pool for everyone else farming Gravity Points. You&#8217;re farming alongside Binance&#8217;s distribution machine, not ahead of it. Whether the listing premium outweighs the dilution depends on the tokenomics they haven&#8217;t revealed yet.</p><p><strong>Structured credit is on-chain now.</strong></p><p>Strata&#8217;s tranching of sUSDat into srUSDat (senior) and jrUSDat (junior) is literally how Wall Street structured credit products work. Senior gets paid first, junior absorbs losses. The 2008 version was opaque and built on garbage mortgages. This version is transparent, on-chain, and built on a single asset (STRC). Simpler, which is both better and worse -- better because you can see everything, worse because there&#8217;s no diversification. If STRC breaks, the entire tranche structure breaks with it. One asset, one point of failure.</p><p>Still -- the fact that you can now choose your risk tier on STRC yield (senior at 7.5% protected, junior at 15-25% leveraged, or raw sUSDat at 9.8%) is a real innovation. This is what DeFi composability is supposed to enable. </p><p>(im so fking proud of defi rn)</p><p><strong>The contagion nobody&#8217;s pricing.</strong></p><p>Saturn + Apyx + xStocks = $260M+ of on-chain STRC exposure. All flowing through the same pipes -- Pendle for fixed/variable yield splitting, Morpho for leverage loops, Curve for swap liquidity. Five protocols deep, stacked on top of each other. If Pendle has a smart contract issue, both Saturn and Apyx TVL takes a hit simultaneously. If STRC depegs hard, every protocol in this stack liquidates at once. The Morpho loops (5x leverage on STRC-exposed collateral) are the accelerant.</p><p>I am not saying it will blow up, I don&#8217;t think it will blow up but </p><p>This isn&#8217;t a Saturn-specific risk. It&#8217;s an STRC ecosystem risk. And we have to start pricing the correlation because each protocol&#8217;s risk section only talks about itself.</p><p><strong>Who this is actually for.</strong></p><p>Saturn serves more investor profiles than any other STRC tokenizer because of the clean separation:</p><ul><li><p><strong>&#8220;I want yield but I don&#8217;t trust STRC&#8221;</strong> -- PT-USDat on Pendle. 8.91% fixed, Treasury-backed, zero STRC exposure. 2x what any T-bill fund pays. The premium exists because other people&#8217;s points farming inflates USDat&#8217;s price. You&#8217;re getting paid for their speculation.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I want STRC yield but not the full downside&#8221;</strong> -- srUSDat via Strata. ~7.5%, junior absorbs losses before you do.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I want the yield&#8221;</strong> -- sUSDat at 9.8%. Straightforward, 3-7 day exit.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I want to get degen&#8221;</strong> -- Morpho loop at 42-64% APY. You know the risks.</p></li><li><p><strong>&#8220;I just want points&#8221;</strong> -- Curve LP USDC/USDat at 20x multiplier. Stablecoin pair, minimal IL.</p></li></ul><p><strong>The terms problem.</strong></p><p>Saturn&#8217;s token doesn&#8217;t exist yet. No name, no supply, no TGE date. &#8220;Up to 5% of initial token supply&#8221; with a disclaimer that Saturn &#8220;reserves the right to modify the program at any time.&#8221; Compare that to Apyx: 100M fixed supply, 5% to S1, 4% to S2, timeline visible.</p><p>This cuts both ways. TVL is $105M vs Apyx&#8217;s $277M -- so if the token allocation is similar, each dollar of Saturn farming gets ~2.6x more points share. Lower TVL = better farming economics, IF the token materializes at a decent valuation. But the team can adjust terms anytime, and you&#8217;re farming blind on the most important variable.</p><p>My position: this is a &#8220;why not&#8221; farm, not a &#8220;go hard&#8221; farm. PT-USDat for the yield floor. Curve LP for the points. $5-10K to test. Scale up when the token details drop and the protocol survives its first real stress event.</p><p>Six weeks old. Untested in a drawdown. Token is a black box. Don&#8217;t be the one who sized up before the rules were clear.</p><p>Not financial advice.

Strategy is on track to hold 1M+ BTC by late 2026 at this pace.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png" width="706" height="454" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/a726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:454,&quot;width&quot;:706,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:60962,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://2lambroz.substack.com/i/197189780?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!VqhK!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa726b27d-e172-498d-8c40-03d56c3d7e31_706x454.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><h2>The Flywheel</h2><p>STRC trades at/above $100 &#8594;

Overcollateralization.</strong> Total apxUSD minted is constrained by collateral market value. Collateral pool exceeds outstanding apxUSD supply. Exact ratio isn&#8217;t disclosed but visible on their transparency dashboard.</p><p><strong>2. Whitelisted arbitrage.</strong> Only whitelisted institutional participants can mint/redeem directly.</p><ul><li><p>apxUSD above $1: mint from protocol at $1, sell on secondary. Increases supply, pushes price down</p></li><li><p>apxUSD below $1: buy cheap on secondary, redeem with protocol for $1 of USDC. Decreases supply, pushes price up</p></li><li><p>Regular users can&#8217;t do this -- they trade on Curve/Aerodrome/PancakeSwap</p></li></ul><p><strong>3. Cash &amp; Treasury buffer.</strong> Part of the reserve is in short-term US Treasuries and cash, reducing collateral pool volatility and ensuring redemption liquidity.</p><p><strong>4. STRC&#8217;s own peg mechanism.</strong> Strategy adjusts the dividend rate monthly to pull STRC toward $100/share. The underlying collateral has its own price stabilizer.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png" width="881" height="781" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:781,&quot;width&quot;:881,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:107538,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://2lambroz.substack.com/i/197189780?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3lxU!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F784a52fd-3b07-4d7f-840e-a1e7c4b2fcdd_881x781.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><strong>What breaks the peg:</strong></p><ul><li><p>STRC drops significantly below par (happened at $90.52 in Nov 2025).

Apyx + Saturn&#8217;s USDat).</p><ul><li><p><strong>PT-apxUSD (3 markets)</strong> -- ~$107M liquidity, $206M TVL. 15.7% fixed yield. ~41 days to maturity. Buy at discount, redeem 1:1 at maturity.</p></li><li><p><strong>PT-apyUSD</strong> -- 18.0% fixed yield. ~41 days to maturity. Higher rate because native yield is baked in.</p></li><li><p><strong>LP apxUSD</strong> -- 8.55% APY + 24x points. Provide liquidity, earn fees + points.</p></li><li><p><strong>LP apyUSD</strong> -- 14.44% APY + 11x points. Lower multiplier, higher base APY.</p></li><li><p><strong>YT-apxUSD</strong> -- Variable yield + 32x points. Max leverage. Principal decays to zero at maturity.</p></li><li><p><strong>YT-apyUSD</strong> -- Variable yield + 13x points. Lower leverage, same decay mechanic.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Why 67% of TVL is on Pendle:</strong> PT tokens let you lock in fixed yield (18%) while avoiding the 20-day apyUSD cooldown. PTs are tradeable -- you can exit anytime at market price. Points multipliers (24x on LP, 32x on YT) make Pendle the most capital-efficient points venue.</p><h2>Morpho -- The Leverage Layer</h2><ul><li><p>Morpho total TVL is $7.2B. apxUSD/apyUSD vault TVL not publicly broken out.</p></li><li><p><strong>PT-apyUSD as collateral</strong> -- Supply PT, borrow USDC/apxUSD at ~1.3-6%. Loop 3-5x for 70-90% APY.</p></li><li><p><strong>PT-apxUSD as collateral</strong> -- Same mechanic. Borrow at ~5%. Loop for up to 87% APY.</p></li><li><p><strong>srRoyAPYUSD as collateral</strong> -- Supply senior tranche, borrow, loop at ~1.3%. Leveraged covered yield, ~20-30%.</p></li><li><p><strong>Raw apxUSD supply</strong> -- Earn base + 5x points. Low effort, points focused.</p></li></ul><p><strong>Why Morpho matters:</strong> It&#8217;s the leverage layer. The PT looping strategy (buy PT at 18% fixed &#8594; deposit on Morpho &#8594; borrow at 1.3% &#8594; buy more PT &#8594; repeat 3-5x) is the highest-yield play at 70-90% APY. Carries liquidation risk if PT prices drop due to apxUSD depeg concerns.</p><h2>Royco -- Tranched Yield (~$2M+, growing)</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Senior (srRoyAPYUSD)</strong> -- ~8-10% APY. Protected by 15% drawdown buffer. Can be looped on Morpho.</p></li><li><p><strong>Junior (jrRoyAPYUSD)</strong> -- ~30-40% APY (record 40.05%). First-loss. Gets wiped first if STRC depegs. Now tokenized on Pendle for secondary trading.</p></li></ul><p>Open access just launched.</p><h2>Curve Finance -- Primary Swap Liquidity</h2><ul><li><p><strong>apxUSD/USDC</strong> -- Main retail trading pair. 12x points (LP + commit).</p></li><li><p><strong>apxUSD/apyUSD</strong> -- Internal routing pair. 6x points.</p></li></ul><h2>Other Integrations</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Aave</strong> -- apxUSD as lending collateral. Live, low usage.</p></li><li><p><strong>PancakeSwap (ETH)</strong> -- apxUSD-USDC, apyUSD-apxUSD pools. Launched May 7.</p></li><li><p><strong>Aerodrome (Base)</strong> -- LP venue for Base chain expansion.</p></li></ul><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2

The protocol holds off-chain preferred equity (STRC, SATA) through custodians. apxUSD is a claim on assets in a brokerage account, not in a smart contract.</p><p>What does that actually mean?</p><p><strong>Smart contract hack</strong> -- A hacker drains the apxUSD/apyUSD contract, but underlying STRC sits off-chain in custody. Can&#8217;t steal the collateral. CAN steal: LP pool assets on Curve/Pendle/Morpho, exploit vault logic to mint unbacked apxUSD, drain user deposits mid-transaction.</p><p><strong>Custodian failure</strong> -- Custodian holding STRC goes bankrupt, gets seized, or gets hacked. apxUSD exists on-chain but has nothing backing it. Bigger risk than pure DeFi protocols.</p><p><strong>Protocol team risk</strong> -- Apyx team controls minting, collateral allocation, redemption logic. If team disappears or acts maliciously, you can&#8217;t self-custody the underlying STRC.</p><p><strong>Regulatory seizure</strong> -- Government decides wrapping securities on-chain is illegal. Freezes custodian accounts. apxUSD becomes unbacked overnight.</p><p><strong>Smart contract exploit worst case:</strong> (1) LP positions on Curve/Pendle/Morpho get drained (your DeFi exposure), (2) someone mints unbacked apxUSD, dumps it, breaks the peg, (3) legitimate holders can still redeem through protocol IF collateral is intact off-chain. The real risks are off-chain: custodian failure, regulatory action, team malfeasance, or STRC itself cratering.</p><h2>Tier 1: Structural Risks (Threaten the Whole Thesis)</h2><p><strong>1. apxUSD demand collapse post-airdrop.</strong> apxUSD earns 0% yield. Only demand driver is points. After TGE, if APYX disappoints, no reason to hold apxUSD over USDC. If supply contracts from $277M to $50M, protocol survives but exit liquidity is terrible.</p><p><strong>2. STRC depeg / Strategy stress.</strong> STRC floor is soft -- hit $90.52 before. In a BTC crash, could go lower. Strategy has never cut the dividend, but explicitly CAN. If BTC drops 50%+, Strategy may not be able to issue new STRC, cutting off the capital-raise engine. That&#8217;s when dividend risk becomes real.</p><p><strong>3. Custodial / counterparty risk.</strong> Can&#8217;t verify holdings in real-time. Monthly PCAOB attestations by Wolf &amp; Company -- between attestations, you trust the protocol. Custodian insolvency, brokerage failure, or regulatory freeze = on-chain tokens become claims on nothing. This risk CANNOT be hedged in DeFi.</p><h2>Tier 2: Position-Specific Risks (Depend on Strategy)</h2><p><strong>4. 20-day cooldown trap.</strong> If STRC drops, you&#8217;re locked for 20 days earning nothing. Exit queue fills. Protocol needs to sell STRC to USDC but everyone else is selling too. Mitigation: use Pendle PT instead -- PTs are tradeable on secondary.</p><p><strong>5. Morpho loop liquidation.</strong> 3-5x PT loop + PT price drop (from apxUSD depeg concerns) = Morpho liquidates you. PTs converge at maturity, but only if underlying apxUSD holds. 70-90% APY comes with real liquidation risk.</p><p><strong>6. Pendle YT decay.</strong> YT tokens decay toward zero at maturity by design. Need yield + airdrop to exceed principal loss. 32x multiplier doesn&#8217;t help if APYX = $0.30.</p><h2>Tier 3: Tail Risks (Low Probability, Catastrophic)</h2><p><strong>7. Death spiral.</strong> BTC crash &#8594; STRC below $85 &#8594; Strategy suspends dividends &#8594; apyUSD yield goes to zero &#8594; apxUSD undercollateralized &#8594; mass redemptions &#8594; protocol can&#8217;t liquidate STRC fast enough &#8594; apxUSD depegs hard. Requires multiple simultaneous failures.</p><p><strong>8. Regulatory action.</strong> STRC is a security. Wrapping it on-chain adds legal surface area. &#8220;Eligible participants in permitted jurisdictions&#8221; language signals awareness.</p><h2>What&#8217;s NOT a Major Risk</h2><p>Worth calling out what looks scary but isn&#8217;t:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Smart contract hack draining STRC reserves</strong> -- STRC is off-chain. Contract exploit drains LPs and manipulates tokens, but can&#8217;t touch brokerage accounts. Risk is contained to DeFi-layer exposure</p></li><li><p><strong>Protocol running out of money</strong> -- Keeps 50% of yield as reserves.

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>changing this to a weekly recap of what i thought, did aped </p><h2><em>Current view/holding towards market</em></h2><p>Overall, I am waiting for a dip sitting on some stables, i don&#8217;t think the dip today is big enough.</p><ul><li><p>Currently focusing on good r/r bets that i think its downside limited with mid size such as pendle,cook these fundamental bags holding </p></li><li><p>Holding BTC, ETH, SOL, SUI and yield farming incentives and airdrops with them</p></li><li><p>having stables as the side to buy dips ( mainly BTC, i don&#8217;t see a clear altseason catalyst yet, i am not a believer of btc goes up alt season will come )</p></li><li><p>Testing every new dapp because i think the market is hungry for something to gamble but couldn&#8217;t find anything, even if it is a B+ innovation it will move quick</p><p>( will bet 0.5%-1% depending on narrative, mood lol )</p></li><li><p>More aggressively doing airdrop farming for non-meme projects because i am firm believer if i am a protocol operator that can&#8217;t issue memecoins, how can i attract market attention? airdrops! </p></li><li><p>Have small size on every chain because in bull every chain wants to pump something so i want to have some money to ape when i need.</p><p>I will typically deposit in that chain&#8217;s incentive lending because of 1 click pull out</p><p>Right now going to 10-18% apr typically ( i have a weekly yields apr post btw )</p></li><li><p>I am still aping memes, but i prefer to ape things that are trend switching, or something with up a upcoming catalyst like my $alon play ( pump fun founder&#8217;s name with pumpfun launching tokens soon) currently eyeing some potential small meme plays that goes moon or dust for the Superbowl as well</p></li></ul><p></p><p>Things i did this week</p><ul><li><p>Best simple yields on sui, base, aptos and flare</p><p><a href="https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884954572084609251">https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884954572084609251</a></p></li><li><p>Airdrop farming <a href="https://x.com/HivelloOfficial">@HivelloOfficial</a> <a href="https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884073936058736995">https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884073936058736995</a></p></li><li><p>bought some YT on avalon because sUSDa's total apr is fixed at 25% in yield + points if PT is at 29% mean the market is pricing the airdrop only at 4%.</p><p>( can be a good bet, but sizing is hard because of gas, slippage and potential roi )</p><p><a href="https://x.com/2lambro/status/1883876731255484697">https://x.com/2lambro/status/1883876731255484697</a></p></li><li><p>Research into Chilliz chains as they were great at BD getting all the football clubs to sign a deal with them, since $trump issued a coin more people might explore this and they can potentially capture this hype.</p><p>Found out their go to dex Kayen doesnt have a token yet and you can do some simple social task for airdrop farming here</p><p><a href="https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884830922979393636">https://x.com/2lambro/status/1884830922979393636</a></p></li></ul><p></p><p>Choppy market, stay in spot, find gems, do airdrops, do yield farming.</p><p>When you are feeling lazy, think about people that work a 9-5 for what you earn in yield farming or one airdrop and you are complaining you dont want to click around for 10 mins a day?</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[i realised a 146x profit in 44 days with this meme]]></title><description><![CDATA[my 2cent on
