All You Need to Know about Term Finance

Term Finance is a fixed-rate lending protocol built on Ethereum. It matches borrowers and lenders through regular auctions (usually every four weeks), with the settlement rate determined by the auction and the quotes provided by both parties. It is similar to peer-to-peer lending. The project's product logic is coherent, with a focus on fixed rates and interest rate smoothing, providing borrowers and lenders with more favorable rates. However, currently, there is low demand for fixed-rate lending in the market, and the four-week lending cycle set by the project is short, making the operation somewhat cumbersome. Overall, its attractiveness is limited. The project has not yet issued tokens, and the total locked volume is close to ten million.

Prisma Optional Oracle Comparative Analysis

This article evaluates the historical performance of Chainlink integration and the replacement of Curve Pool EMA Oracle. It was found that the lack of reliable Chainlink data sources for collateral assets has impacted integration with the Prisma platform. The study proposes preliminary specifications for improving the Oracle to enhance price accuracy and reliability. Additionally, the research discusses the importance of the Oracle in Prisma liquidation and redemption processes. It is advised to use Curve's price oracle function with caution. Finally, a hybrid solution combining Curve and Chainlink Oracle is proposed to enhance the flexibility and reliability of the pricing mechanism. This report is applicable only to the Prisma protocol.

FirstVIP Research Report: LSDFi Protocol Lybra Finance

This article explains in detail the Lybra Finance project, an LSDfi stable currency protocol. Its main business model is to mortgage ETH or stETH to mint the stable currency eUSD, and use the proceeds of LSD to repurchase eUSD to earn interest on the stable currency. The annualized rate is between 7% and 9%. The interest on the stable currency comes from the interest on the ETH pledge. , so the higher the mortgage rate, the higher the interest. eUSD is maintained stable by over-collateralization, liquidation, and arbitrage. The LSDfi track has relatively good fundamentals, narrative value and user demand. Lybra Finance is currently the LSDfi protocol with the highest TVL. The first interest-bearing stable currency eUSD has a certain attraction for funds in the market. Therefore, this product deserves attention.

What is ether.fi

Ether.fi is an un-custodial staking protocol with a distinctive edge over other staking platforms; it grants stakers the autonomy to manage their keys. In Ethereum’s PoS (Proof of Stake) ecosystem, two keys are generated: withdrawal keys and validation keys. The withdrawal key is used to withdraw a user's assets, while the validation key is needed by node operators to validate blocks within a stipulated timeframe, thereby earning validation rewards.

All You Need to Know About Raft(RAFT)

Raft is a stablecoin protocol deployed on Ethereum that utilizes over-collateralization. Borrowers collateralize LSD assets to mint stablecoin R, and maintain a lower collateral ratio through mechanisms such as liquidation and reallocation. Leveraging the popularity of LSD, the project experienced rapid growth after its launch and faced fierce competition in this field. Established DeFi protocols have an advantage in terms of security. Recently, the protocol suffered from a contract vulnerability issue and was attacked by hackers. The team is currently working on a recovery plan.
