What is Dinero 👁️ @0xSami_ explains in a few sentences @dinero_xyz's goals and what they have been cooking 👀

All Roads Lead to @fraxfinance and @BlackRock 🏛️ Hours before we welcomed the new year, Frax's [FIP - 418] Governance proposal was passed, with 100% of the votes in favour. With such a partnership between two key players of Web3 and Web2, Frax's empire is set to lead the DeFi Renaissance ✊ The proposal was published by Securitize Markets, LLC, a placement agent for BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund Ltd. (“BUIDL”) BlackRock's BUIDL will now officially become one of the on-chain assets backing Frax's frxUSD stablecoin (formerly $FRAX). In turn, further providing exposure to US Dollar yields. What is BUIDL? BUIDL, is an ERC-20 token that can be custodied by providers on ETH mainnet, @0xPolygon, @avax, @Optimism, @arbitrum, and @Aptos. As mentioned in the proposal, "is a tokenized U.S. Treasury product designed to provide decentralized organizations and other institutional investors a blockchain-based investment solution that can be used alongside other investments as a reserve backing of stable assets. By holding BUILD as a backing asset, @fraxfinance will gain exposure to: - Yield opportunities - Several options to transfer - Minimized countrerparty risk via Securitize, BlackRock, and Bank of New York Mellon BUIDL will be investing 100% of its assets in cash, T-bills, notes, and other liquid assets. Currently BUILD is offering around 4.10% yield after fees on mainnet. BUIDL's Stablecoin Trifecta Prior to Frax's partnership with BUIDL, @ethena, home of $USDe, announced their developments of their 'BUIDL-backed stablecoin', $USDtb. Their token debuted December 16th 2024 and since then it holds a market cap of more than $70.42M Ethena mentioned that USDtb could provide support in stabilizing their synthetic dollar $USDe during any black swan events or through bear markets. With frxUSD as the 'All Weather Stablecoin', users, protocols and institutions are all set to succeed no matter what the market condition. Low yields -> Frax swaps into treasuries. Mid yields -> Frax is LPing and gear their focus towards on-chain DeFi. Super high yields -> Frax goes towards Ethena As @fraxfinance mentioned, "BlackRock is just the beginning. Our mission is to give everyone access to the most performant stablecoins in the industry. We're building the decentralized central bank of crypto. Institutions are coming, but this time, you can be along for the ride. Join Frax Nation today." 🫡 With Frax joining forces with BUIDL moments before 2025 in addition to their longstanding relationship with Ethena, the DeFi renaissance is upon us anon. Will you be ready?

Imagine a balance sheet that updates on a block-by-block basis... now you can 😮 Frax just dropped a game-changer of a dashboard, bringing unbridled transparency to it's stablecoin 🔍 This elevates the standard for self-reporting for not just DeFi, but all of finance 📈

frxETH V2 IS NOW LIVE 👀 @fraxfinance has officially released its fully decentralized LSD peer-to-pool lending and borrowing mechanism. Over the past year, Frax's team has extensively been building out frxETH V2, which now introduces a novel ETH-validator lending market into DeFi. Needless to say, we're extremely excited about its release, having covered its progress since it was announced. What is frxETH V2? On Flywheel EP #56, we had on @samkazemian to talk about frxETH V2 back in June 2023, where he explained that, "With frxETH v2, node operators deposit ETH as collateral in the smart contract, they then can borrow ETH supplied to the lending market to run a validator. As long as the node operator pays the interest rate, the frxETH loan can remain open, similar to Aave. Connecting to the existing frxETH v1 system, the sfrxETH yield is the dynamic interest rate paid by the node operators borrowing the ETH to stake." Think of it in the context of an isolated lending pool, like Fraxlend or Aave, where node operators can borrow ETH at dynamic rates to fund their validators. Node operators do not charge any fees or commissions; the only fee is what the lending market charges. How Can I Use frxETH V2? With frxETH V2, users will be able to borrow ETH using their validator(s) as collateral whilst earning vanilla ETH staking rewards + MEV at the same time. Per validator deposited users receive up to 24 ETH of borrowing credit, 75% of the loan's total value, depending on the available ETH in the protocol. Borrowing credits may increase to 30 ETH per 32 ETH deposited depending on future governance votes. Users will be able to withdraw the 24 ETH to do whatever seems best for said validator. Whether they want to use that 24 ETH for something different, spin up more validators, or even looping strategies. Users are free to do what they please as long as the loan is maintained. The borrow APR is dependant on supply and demand, where more ETH becomes available as the amount of users minting frxETH increases and pay interest on loans. As of writing the UR is 0.007%, Borrow APR increased to 1% and the amount of ETH available to be borrowed stands at 47.197 🤓 By design, frxETH V2 will be able to attract the most sophisticated validators to participate in not just securing the network but growing this peer-to-pool ETH-validator lending market. As @samkazemian puts it, All LSDs are just loans anon 🫡
