🥇 @Neutron_org and @StargazeZone just made crypto history by being the first two blockchains to lend liquidity to each other without ever needing a multisig to mediate the deal. There is now ~$400K more liquidity for the NTRN:STARS pair on @astroport_fi

🤝 Covenants have been used in the past to migrate a protocol-to-protocol deal off of a multisig onto a trustless solution. Going forward, protocols do not need multisigs as an interim step—they can go straight to using Covenants for shared liquidity deals

@berachain, ATOM Wars (@cosmoshub), and now @initiaFDN are all examples of protocol-to-protocol liquidity sharing. This new category is on track to increase Interchain DeFi >10x similar to how commercial/public debt increase TradFi debt markets by >10x. Timewave builds tools for this emerging market
Send an asset on one rollup, receive any on another. No trouble, no fuss.
Inter-Minitia swaps are routed through InitiaDEX, an L1 native DEX baked into the chain and strengthened by Enshrined Liquidity.

4️⃣ @BaselineMarkets's POL innovation is to re-introduce the protocol as a maker and an issuer. By owning the primary market, Baseline can use trading fees to accrue value to a guaranteed floor price and offer token holders leverage at the floor price that cannot be liquidated 💪

Why do institutions have such a large impact on financial markets?
Reason #1. Protocol treasuries: protocols directly increase DeFi activity when they use their treasuries to buy, sell, borrow, or lend assets to other DeFi participants

Timewave's first proposal to Neutron last summer did not reach quorum due to a number of technical difficulties, which were not wholly unexpected. We were the first to use Neutron's new governance system and technical issues often arise when doing something for the first time.

4. Attract new capital 💰
5. Demonstrate capabilities 🤸

Institutions play a larger role in finance than individuals do. TradFi institutions are businesses and governments. Crypto's institutions are blockchains, dApps, and DAOs (i.e. protocols)

5️⃣ Timewave stands on the shoulders of these giants as we continue to innovate with POL. For example, rather than bid a protocol's native asset relative to foreign tokens, the protocol may want to bid its native asset relative to a strategically relevant liquid staking token 🪙

9️⃣ All else equal, a more liquid asset is better than a less illiquid asset. Therefore, sellers of less liquid assets must offer an illiquidity discount to entice investors to hold the less liquid asset 🌵

Composability in an app chain world requires the ability to perform remote actions. Today, all remote behavior must be performed via multisigs with nominated committees, which have numerous issues. The issues we wrote about in this earlier tweet apply to most DAO-to-DAO deals

245
3️⃣ @OlympusDAO innovated POL by reintroducing the protocol as the market maker in the AMM. Olympus would provide liquidity by selling bonds and using the proceeds to bid OHM. The protocol has strategic incentives beyond MM profitability to ensure OHM remains liquid 🤝

6️⃣ Assets that have no USD bids can still be liquid if they can be sold for an intermediary asset that does have a liquid USD market 💵
1

367
1️⃣ POL began with bonding curves like @Bancor, which enable anyone to buy tokens from a contract. The contract would then use those funds to buy tokens that were sold back to it. With bonding curves, 100% of the primary market is provided by a protocol-owned strategy 💯

2️⃣ For example, if you have 2 apples and the market price is $1/apple, you might think your apples are worth $2. However, if the price for the second apple is $0.98 and you sell both apples, you would receive $1.98, thereby causing a 1% price impact ($0.02/2.00 = 1%) ⬇️

7️⃣ For example, Ordinals are liquid because they can be sold for Bitcoin without significant price impact, which can then be sold for USD without significant price impact 🏜️➡️💦

2️⃣ POL evolved with the introduction of AMMs like @Uniswap because AMMs isolate the liquidity provision function from token issuance, thereby enabling 3rd parties to provide liquidity according to a formula that could be as simple as x*y=k 🔪
1

7️⃣ Another innovation is that not all POL has to come from the protocol's treasury. An even more capital efficient form of POL is to get protocols to work together by providing liquidity for each other 💧🤝 💧
