Loving the discussions

It's all about EV and variance in my world. But yeah, it's not always clear how to compute everything correctly.
Dave.race
I'm fully DN

the risk reward for shorting is not the same now as it was at 1 or 1.6
ravished
there is such thing as overbought and oversold and trend reversals..
ravished
if/when this flips long I think you will see a lot of liquidations of people not managing their positions correctly. The idea is easy enough, the implementation not so much
Dave.race
Fair enough, you got me, but you make it sound like it's the same speculation as speculating on the price. It's like thinking anything that has 2 outcomes is 50/50
ravished
yeah, some of these platforms have shady liquidation practices
Dave.race
I hedge with plenty of capital. Less capital efficient, but less risky
ponchomaz
"you think" = speculate
ravished
is your short on margin? fine on the way down but if it goes up 20% on a 5x you will be liquidated which is fine if the trend stays in the same direction
Dave.race
I can exit. Maybe I'll take a 10% haircut on my staked USUAL, but I think it's still worth the risk
ravished
how often are you rebalancing?
Dave.race
Makes sense of course
ponchomaz
you are speculating on funding rates staying low
ravished
i should of done that from the beginning at this point I would rather the delta
Dave.race
Not triple digits, but it's high, yes. Still worth it though.
ravished
so yo are shorting your long usual? How are the funding rates? Last time I checked they where almost tripple digits
Mr. Lin
Users who prefer a more stable APY could enter iUSD0++ vault, getting the best of both worlds
USDe APY fluctuates quite a bit in smaller cycles, especially when you look at Dec 8 when their APY is at 80%, and now its only at 10%
Dave.race
I don't speculate. I only do DN strategies.
Mr. Lin
the exposure we have on Ethena during the bull market would be great
ravished
how many crypto currencies do well when rates rise other than usual?
Dave.race
Of course not
ponchomaz
everything is
ravished
lowering rates creates more demand for crypto accross the board, easy money seeking opportunities, meme coin money
ponchomaz
maybe price increases with the market
Dave.race
How? I don't think that's a factor
ravished
usual staking pays usual tokens as well
ponchomaz
but for apy on USUAL
Dave.race
Not for USUALx APY in USD0
ravished

ponchomaz
also true

but its always bullish for crypto
ponchomaz
yep
Dave.race
Rate cuts would lower 4-year cashflows ๐ฅฒ

rate cuts wouldnt benefit much
those are liquid
Mr. Lin
T-bills, averaging of 6 months
ponchomaz
and at what average rate
but what date treasuries does usual hold?
Mr. Lin
I think Trumperino wants the rate cuts man
ravished
the nice thing is that rate cuts are bullish for crypto
ponchomaz
what are the rwa assets that usual holds?
ravished
how do rate cuts effect the floor price? I understand how it effects yield from USYC but not how it effects the floor price
ponchomaz
and what do you think?
Dave.race
I will believe it when I see it
Mr. Lin
Funny how a week ago the entire market was saying we're not gonna get rate cuts this year
Dave.race
I mean it's still opportunity cost, so you gotta see what your other options are. I'm in USUALx, I don't have any USD0++ at the moment, but I would buy if it goes down to FP (or close to). NFA
FlyingArrowz
Well there are talks of 3-4 rate cuts this year, so FP will go up. Gotta be patient lol, meanwhile just roll Pts in pendle
Dave.race
Even if it's "only" to the best of their knowledge/capacities
Else, just be thankful that someone is ready to answer your questions
Dave.race
The team is sleeping. Maybe you'll get lucky and get Mr. Lin.
Dave.race
And if you mean "does the team have the ability to change the floor price", I believe the answer is yes, as I believe the DAO sets the FP, and the DAO is Usual Labs at the moment.
xun2x
Just based on your understanding. If the team member want to communicate they will read and answer.
xun2x
The mechanic just like tradfi, bond yield up, bond price down. Can usual team, set price to 0.87 again in the future ?
fredchan17999
Great to see nice discussions here, I feel peaceful ๐
Dave.race
Well, you should evaluate the risks yourself, but mostly yes if you mean buying USD0++ when it trades at (or close to) FP. There are the risks of rates going up and FP going down in that event that you must be aware though.
xun2x
As long as people buy usd0++ at fp or closer to fp, and get high apr, they can stay with good opportunity. Is it right ? Let say pendle fix rate around 35-40% before, or their pool still above 30%.
Dave.race
That's possible, I never used Morpho.
Dave.race
Well, the other part was also obvious to me, but following what has been happening here since they changed the FP, it clearly wasn't obvious to everyone!
xun2x
In morpho you need 14 days, it is common
Dave.race
And you need to wait 7 days to claim your rewards.
Also the yield is in USUAL, so it is at the mercy of the price of USUAL. You can always short, but the funding is very negative.
Dave.race
And it is a soft lock, as you can always swap on DEXes (or redeem at the floor price or use the early redemption)
Dave.race
Being locked for 4 years, so opportunity cost. Well, and some smart contract risks. At least.
xun2x
What is the risk of usd0++ ?
Dave.race
And the team manually sets the rates for USUAL per USD0++ (following broadly the formulas from the WP), which I don't really like. And USUAL is marketed as less inflationary than it really is in my opinion.
Dave.race
Yes, but... USUAL is inflating a lot. And this inflation is (of course) higher than the rewards USUALx receives in USUAL.
Cortina
Goes back to a previous post of mine where this is one of the first farming protocols where governance token holders had a fighting chance. Previously, it was rewards sparking a bunch of activity, people bullish on vanity metrics so they buy governance token, farmers dump governance token to oblivion and move on to the next project. Flywheel turns into death spiral and governance token holders left holding the bag. For Usual, we are in very turbulent times and USUALx can at least know they are getting a extremely attractive dividends for the next 4 years. The hope is that more people recognize this, but Usualx (or atleast stop selling) and USD0++ remains most attractive yield in crypto. But takes a bit of study to see the opportunity.
Yep
Dave.race
So that effectively locks it for 4 years. Now, there is also the mechanism of early redemption, which is a bit different, but it's mostly similar.
Cortina
Yes, and fee switch to USUALx happening simultaneously is not a coincidence.
Dave.race
Basically, when it was FP = 1, it wasn't locked in the sense that the team was ready to redeem the USD0++ for USD0 (so it's not locked for 4 years). When FP = 0.87, then USD0++ is at the mercy of the markets, but if it goes lower than 0.87, then we are ready to unstake it, because we effectively receive the full yield right away.
Cortina
Point is, it's not an arbitrary number. It's respecting Usualx's rights
Dave.race
I'm being a little bit pedantic, because it's broadly right, but my understanding is that there are 3.5 years left, and the interests are compounding. 0.87*1.04^3.5=1, so 0.87 is the current price of the $1 in 3.5 years.
xun2x
Is it true ? To ensure holder locked until maturity therefore they need to down price from 1 to 0.87 ?
Cortina
Usualx basically says I'm going to get .16 over 4 years (4 X 4%) or you can give me .13 cents now. If USUALx earns .13 cents now, that goes right back into treasuries and becomes .16 over 4 years. So same thing to USUALx.
Dave.race
It was to ensure the USD0 was locked for 4 years.
xun2x
Holder want usdc, therefore usual cut price, so cheaper, and hope more people buy usd0++ ?
Cortina
Referring to a USD0++ holder that doesn't want to hold for 4 years. They want liquidity into USDC or whatever.
xun2x
Sorry because of my shallow knowledge. You said before "want liquidity". Fed cut rate and give more liquidity to market to boost economy. They have parameter for this. In usual case, who want liquidity ? And how usual know, they want liquidity ?
Cortina
Usualx holders earn revenue over time from treasuries backing USD0 which backs USD0++. Usualx doesn't know how long money will sit in USD0 just like tether doesn't know how long money will sit in USDT. But usualx doesn't pay anything to USD0 holders so it's just a bonus. But Usualx gives Usual rewards to USD0++ on the condition that they will give all their underlying Treasury yield for 4 years. If USD0++ wants to sell for .87 cents, that .13 cents is what we'd expect to earn from the treasuries over 4 years so USUAlx willing to let USD0++ exit at .87. In a year or two or three, that floor will go higher because we are only giving up three, two, then one year of yield. Also if Treasury yields go down (fed lowers rate) USUALx is willing to redeem USD0++ at a higher floor price. If fed raises rates, .87 doesn't sound as good anymore because the expected Treasury yield is higher.

What is parameter want liquidity? Can you explain more detail
biyoshi
the reward for providing LP is 45% APY , will we get usual as the reward? Or the reward will be at the value of the LP token price itself?
Cortina
There is no reason USD0++ should be $.87. that's simply when the protocol says "wow you guys really want liquidity, we'll give it to you and profit."
Dave.race
I wish you were around to explain it when they were there. ๐
Cortina
You are wrong in that if you sell someone a 4 year bond for $.87 you don't actually get any yield. A lot of people bought USD0++ because of the usual rewards. But why were the rewards any good? Because there was a strong bid for USUAL. Why strong bid for USUAL? Because we knew the TVL was sticky. Sticky/stuck depending on your perspective

because it isnt in there.

I mean I think USUAL only gaurentees the marketprice. of USDO++. It was 1. Then they drop the gaurentee to .87.Market freaks out and reprices. But no money changes hand. except on redemptions.
GUgu ZAza | Mango ๐ฅญ
I know this question annoys the team nd it's totally understandable, but when galxxe users rewards? As its been upto a month whereas the rewards were to distribute within a week?
JACH
Any one knows why on the page it appears that if I stake 200 USUAL, I will get 0.54 USUAL per day and 339.4 per year. Shouldn't it be 339.4 / 365 days = 0.92 USUAL per day? Because if I multiply 0.54 by 365 days it gives me 197 USUAL per year. Or is taking into account the USUAL that will accumulate as reward and begin to generate income?
chrisgm3773
Does it make sense to you that the difference was arbed away thru the market. It doesnt to me.
xun2x
Correct. Price range 0.87 and 1 should not drop instantly. People who want get out before maturity should sell it to other who want to buy at discount or take all accumulated reward. But somehow I dont know why usd0++ start from 1 not 0.87 and in the middle they interfere price to 0.87
chrisgm3773
Which was in hashnote. And I would assume hashnotes AUM was 1.87 billion before the floor drop.
TVL I mean
The difference. becuase to me price seemed to drop instantly.
chrisgm3773
yeah, where did it go.
xun2x
Between 0.87 and 1
chrisgm3773
Because it wont be coming from hashnote
chrisgm3773
Right. And usually that yield would go to the buyer of the discounted bond. But in this case buyer is paid the yield coming from hashnote in Usual. So how does USDO++ get paid its yield?
Dave.race
The price of USD0++ is speculative.
chrisgm3773
It just dont make sense to me that the market got the difference.
Dave.race
Again, this is my understand. I don't pretend to understand everything completely.
Dave.race
USD0 is fully backed by RWA. The yield from the t-bills goes to USUALx (and USUAL* I think) holders.
So, if everything works as intended, the market will never value USD0++ lower than 0.87, because at that price, you can just redeem in the USUAL dapp. So anything between 0.87 and 1 is possible (depending on how the market values USD0++). The floor price will also go up with time, up to 1 at maturity (assuming no change in rates).
chrisgm3773
I mean. USDO++ needs to be paid back at in 4 years. So that money has to be somewhere to pay the 1:1. right?
Dave.race
I'm not so technical, so I can't really explain it in dept. But, basically, it was always known that the floor price would be dropped, but the exact date and exact value was unknown. I happened some time last week (could check the date), and they decided on 0.87, which is the fair value at the current rates.
shenmiren5970
Are some of the coins that are available for collection invisible?
chrisgm3773
The market? Because usual says so?
Dave.race
By changing the smart contract.
chrisgm3773
But how
Dave.race
It was 1 before. Now it's 0.87
chrisgm3773
how did they lower the floor price
Dave.race
I might be wrong. Please show me the flaws. What did you "not know"?
chrisgm3773
I dont know about that. That doesnt sound right.
Dave.race
My understanding is that, effectively, by lowering the floor price to 0.87, USUAL locked the USD0++ (unless someone is ready to redeem at the new floor price which is now 0.87). Now the early redemption allows for another way to redeem.
chrisgm3773
Because redeemers already have an asset valeud at .87 so Usual may have to make up the difference for redemptions
Dave.race
So, I'm not so sure, but my understanding is as follows: When the floor price was dropped to 0.87, some people exited. People (or LPs) bought the USD0++ at a "discount" rate. The number of USD0++ did not go down (I believe no one redeemed at the floor price, as the official USUAL dapp routes through DEXes if this is a better price). The 13% or whatever % did not go anywhere, it's just that the market values the USD0++ lower than what they did before. Now, with the early redemption, it is a little bit different, because some people DID redeem their USD0 1:1 from their USD0++.
chrisgm3773
Maybe part of it. like 10 million so far.
ravished
redemptions
chrisgm3773
We were at like 1.87 billion. Then the next day it drops to like 1.73 instantly. Nobody is curious?
Maybe @Noรฉ can explain to me where it went.
That is like 200 million
Anyone know or have an idea? Im surely missing something.
What am I missing?
Its gotta be somewhere? Not showing up at hasnote.
What happened to the 13% when the floor went down?
Thats basically USDO TVL
1.47 billion AUM.
It looks to me like we are the fund.

Cortina
The point that needs to be made is that pretty much every time crypto has used a governance token to help kick start a protocol, buyers/holders of that governance token have gotten burned. It is almost always better to farm and dump unless you are able to farm, hold for a bit, and time a good exit. If you understood USUAL design, you not only understood the nature of USD0++, but you understood that there are very unique protections in place for buyers/holders of the governance token. To me, that is a very important design innovation in a space where there is extreme doubt about the value of governance tokens and should have been highlighted in the discussion.

The only way I have to stake is through Metamask, and the amount charged is a little over 11 dollars, I will have to wait to get some money to stake.

I went to do staking but I couldn't, it asked for around 0.002611 eth, about 11 dollars and some cents.

Cortina
There are a couple drivers of APY going to USUALx. You can see on the UI that some of this is paid in USUAL and some is paid in USD0. Both of these are volatile for different reasons. The USUAL APY is based on how much new USUAL is being emitted to USD0++ holders (USUALx receives 10% of all new USUAL emissions). This mechanism is designed to reduce the amount a USUALx holder is diluted by emissions. Additionally, USUALx receives 33% of the 10% unstaking fee paid by those who unstake their USUALx. This mechanism exists to make it more attractive to stay in USUALx as more people leave. As for the USD0 portion of the APY, this depends on the percent of USUAL staked for USUALx. All USUAL has the ability to become USUALx and receive USD0 earnings. But not all USUAL gets staked. So if a bunch of USUAL were to get staked, USD0 yield would go down for existing USUALx holders. If a bunch of USUALx gets unstaked, USD0 yield would go up for remaining USUALx holders.

There are two different popular models for yield bearing tokens in crypto. Rebasing and non-rebasing. Using Lido's staked ETH as an example, if you hold stETH in your wallet, you might start with 1 stETH and then after a month or whatever you would have 1.05 stETH in your wallet without having done anything. Alternatively you could hold the wrapped version of stETH called wstETH. If you hold 1 wstETH in your wallet for a month, you would still have 1 wstETH in your wallet but if you withdrew it you would get 1.05 stETH.
Adarsh Kesarwani
Yes , just read term of services . Its registered office located at 10, rue de la Paix, 75002 Paris . I thought its registered in US and can benefit from trump policy of America first
Noรฉ
Well, the APY can vary sir
a.f.brockstar
There was a day when the API was at 300%, then a few days ago it was at 265% and now it's at 248%, I don't understand ๐ฎโ๐จ
a.f.brockstar
Thanks
Adarsh Kesarwani
Where is usual company located and registered ?
Cortina
Right, because 1 USUALx actually represents something like 1.17 underlying USUAL.
a.f.brockstar
I thought it would be 1 Usual for 1 Usualx, but when it came time to stake, it showed that 1 usual is equivalent to 0.83 Usualx
Cortina
You can't withdraw USUAL from your USUALx in the way that I think you are saying. You can sell your USUALx on the secondary market or you can unstake your USUALx which converts it to your share of the underlying USUAL. There is a 10% unstaking fee when you convert your USUALx to the underlying USUAL. But the secondary market is doing its best to price this in so if you purchase USUALx on the market, wait some period of time, and then unstake it, you will end up with more USUAL than you started with.
a.f.brockstar
I understood
Cortina
Its price can go up and down based on the dollar value of the underlying USUAL or by where it trades on secondary markets. Thats what causes a lot of confusion for people. But every day a fixed USUALx position represents more USUAL than it did the day before.
a.f.brockstar
and how often can you withdraw without being taxed when withdrawing from the stake?
Cortina
USUAL doesn't come out of USUALx. It only comes in.
a.f.brockstar
and as it goes out it reduces, would that be it then?
Cortina
Think of USUALx as a vault that is constantly receiving USUAL. By holding USUALx you hold a certain percent share of the vault. As more USUAL enters the vault, your USUALx represents the same percent share of the vault but more underlying USUAL.

It's good, now we've come from "you didn't say it was locked and under 1$" to "one part seems like it's about already accumulated rewards instead of 6 months from time T". But yes, this is normal. The dApp has a more concise information, the gitbook a bit more detailed, and the whitepaper fully explains all the mechanisms. That's a normal flow.
Mr. Lin
if implied yield drops, the APY will immediately change to positive
The Faceless Shepherd
I'm just saying that the way it is phrasing will mislead people into thinking they will not pay for more than what they have already earned

it is based on the current implied yield on Pendle's YT-USD0++ Jan pool ser

It is also explained in the documentation that there is no cost-free primary market redemption before maturity (Early Redemption, Floor). Moreover, it is not a zero coupon bond. Zeron coupon means zero coupon. You have coupons in $USUAL.

chleo
as I observe the uniswap pool of usualx/usual, I can see the number of usualx and usual in the pool, and if I divde them, I'll get 2845110/964381 = 2.95, but in the same time the price of usualx/usual is 0.6567/0.5549 = 1.18. I just wonder why the ratio of tokens dosen't match the ratio of price.
Noรฉ
Hi, please refer to our previous statements ( # ๐ฃใannouncements )
Noรฉ
Hi, USD0++ being a locked version of USD0 for four years (a Liquid Bond Token), its price can fluctuate under 1$ to reflect this locking period, but over time, its price gets closer to 1$ as maturity approaches.
hojjatmain2
I have USD0++ in my wallet but it seems depeg to 0.9$ why? what should I do now?
Noรฉ
and not a lot of people with dozens of millions idle and available to supply
esco
Lol true, early so not as many holders
Noรฉ
Yes, unfortunately markets aren't that efficient yet ๐
esco
Oh I see yea. My assumption is that pools would more quickly be arb by people who can supply from existing holdings in the majority of cases. So redeemers would be a small % if they can even make it in time.
Noรฉ
I'm just basically taking the scenario of a depeg
Goes both ways tho
Noรฉ
Yep, whitelisted participants (MMs, whales or whatever, that are onboarded with our collateral providers) redeem USD0 for the underlying (let's say USYC), and swap it for USDC, to then arb the pools and make a quick profit while rebalancing them.
Noรฉ
Depends on the outflows, if they are at the maximum, you get the max fee (180 days of rewards at the rate when Early Redeeming). This means that if the rewards rate is higher in a month than today, and the outflows are still at their maximum, the number of USUAL required would be higher than a month before. Note that there's many arbitrages to do here, e.g. depending on the price of $USUAL.
Darki
Gm all great day for buy more usual
esco
Oh lol thatโs what you meant. I thought you were referring to some artificial process. Do people really redeem to arb the pool? Mint is also an option. Is this based on your observation that most ppl redeem instead of mint for USD0 pool?
TauroFTW
If the TVL keeps flowing out every day within a month, will the amount of USUAL required for the 180 - day period exceed the current quantity after one month?
Noรฉ
This assumes that outflows will always be at the maximum
It's not the case on USD0/USD0++ obviously tho
Noรฉ
No, but it's simple: if there's a lot of swaps, pools need to be rebalanced, meaning (let's take USD0/USDC), MMs will redeem USD0 on the primary to arb the Curve pool until it's rebalanced.
Noรฉ
Again, I don't fully understand, but if you're basically saying that "at the moment of Early Redeem you could be paying more than what you earned in the past months, depending on the evolution of the parameters", yes, that's the case and always been public. It also goes the other way around. At the end of the day USD0++ is locked version of USD0 for four years: there is no cost-free redemption on the primary market, before its maturity.
TauroFTW
It can be understood that the more time elapses, the more USUAL is required. This is because the TVL is currently only going to keep draining.
esco
Is there any documentation about how those pools involve redeem?
xstryder
Yes that means you need to farm more, depending on TVL decrease, you can farm more than 6 months for early unstake. The only way to prevent this is for the team to prevent TVL decrease and finally able to make TVL higher
Noรฉ
No, but since those pairs have low liquidity you're most likely routed through USD0/USD0++ and USD0/USDC, which are, arbed
esco
Iโm referring to pairs like USD0++/USDC. Does redeem apply here?
Noรฉ
Seems correct (if I understood your message), as we extrapolate linearly the 6 month, even tho a higher Ut means you receive more rewards, those rewards could only partially compensate, depending on when you want to Early Redeem.
Noรฉ
Note that swap on the market means rebalancing of the pools through MMs, which means redeems
esco
If USD0++ was 1:1 the secondary market would also value it at $1 and it could be more easily swapped on the market for $1 instead of redeemed. No TVL loss needed.
yuradmt
increasing sticky TVL, not just any TVL. 1:1 peg means mercenary capital comes to farm and leaves, and how would the team make money then? let's be realistic
The Faceless Shepherd
You assume I was not?
famousfxck
BTC correcting -85%, most alts going -95% to -99% from ATH
If you were in crypto during 2017-2020 youโd know what I mean
famousfxck
Because Usual wants to stay healthy in case of a bearmarket
The Faceless Shepherd
Being liquid with no loss of principal investment + APY attracts stickist capital
goodboy | best good boy
what are you talking about??? Longterm purpose is increasing TVL, Lamo
The Faceless Shepherd
Pegging it temporarily will make people leave because ppl will see it as an exit opportunity, but pegging it and then make it permanent by making it immutable will not make ppl leave, because why leave now if ppl are confident that they can leave at anytime without loss while enjoying APY
yuradmt
The question is how the team thinks about attracting more TVL. The iUSD0++ vault is nice, is there some other stuff in the pipeline?
TauroFTW
Do you lack confidence in the project?
yuradmt
Not good in the long term.
Which is kinda against the purpose
yuradmt
Pegging to 1 will cause a lot of trapped liquidity to leave imo
The Faceless Shepherd
Because ppl buying from secondary market wonโt increase TVL
Only way to attract TVL is to peg USD0++ to 1 imo
yuradmt
Given the somewhat negative sentiment, what's the plan to attract more TVL?
Noรฉ
Yes, this is theoretically possible, but it would mean you also receive more $USUAL as a reward for holding USD0++, which is only logical.
Rektus Pospolitus
Are there any concrete plans to integrate more providers than Hashnote ? Right now USYC yield is 3.2%. For comparison OUSG yield is 4.2%. Both tokens are provide instant mint and redemption, and are invested in US short term tresuries. Moving to OUSG would increase USD0 yield for USUALx hold by 30%.
esco
Currently USUALx is yielding more USUALx than USDO++ 179% vs 26% Even though 45% goes to USD0++ and 10% goes to USUALx, the amount of supply for both is very different, 1.4B vs ~215M so the individual APY is different from the distribution %
Moh
Is there some option to desactivate autocompouding mode for usualx hodler?
xstryder
It might be possible that we need to burn 0.2 USUAL per 1 usd0++ for early unstaking?
xstryder
That means if tvl keeps going down, Ut keeps going up. Right now the required usual to be burned for early unstaking is 0.162 per 1 usd0++. By your explanation, if TVL keeps going down, it might be possible in the future that we need more USUAL than currently is for early unstaking?
alishahab
does the usual from early redemption fee is shared directly to stackers?
Noรฉ
Ut is derived from the Mt (as Ut is the minting rate to the USD0++ bucket), so, basically, what makes Mt change is TVL and Rates. The mt has linear proportionality with Rates (if rates go lower, Mt also goes lower) and has inverse relation with TVL (If TVL goes higher, Mt goes down).
avalongarden
I review white paper which states 45% usual will be distributed to USD0++ holder and 10% to usualx holder finally. accordingly to dune data, 35% usual has been distributed to USD0++ holder and 17.28% to usualx holder. so I think buying USD0++ may get more usualx finally with variable like. unstaking fee for usualx and usd0++.
alishahab
why the tvl goes down?
kata
So all the token would be distributed within 150days?
Noรฉ
I'm double checking
no need to send it two times
I saw your message
xstryder
This message doesn't fully answer my question so I need further clarification from you. If TVL goes lower -> Ut up, is this true or not?

1. Yes, Usual takes a snapshot every Monday at UTC+0 to count USUALx for that week's USD0 reward. 2. No, any decreases in your USUALx balance during the epoch will forfeit your rewards.

Check debank to see your amount of USUAL is compounded and increased more than your initial amount (USUAL, not USUALX) For USD0 rev-switch, check Earn page on the dapp

But the usualx position hasnt increased at all ?
Mr. Lin
usualx is autocompounding ser, the rewards will be added to your position directly. no need to claim any rewards.

Why is my pending reward decreasing?
Dave.race
Almost always trades at the fair price (historically), but whenever there is more selling pressure, it will trade at a discount (maximum 10%, as beyond that, you can just unstake with the protocol at the 10% fee)
Usual
Dave.race
This is exactly what I explained above
David007
I know bro, on debank it's ok but when you unstake usual.money is where you get the actual amount of usual
Dave.race
I literally answered your question. If you want to see the amount of USUAL you have from your share of USUALx, go look on debank, and it will grow everyday as you want (if you don't sell any USUALx, obviously).
David007
yes bro, I know that fee but I only checked the ratio between usualx/usual, it should increase overtime to make your holding usual amount increases everyday
Usual
Dave.race
I don't know, you can ask Noรฉ, I'm just going with my logic, doesn't mean I'm right.
It depends on how many people want to unstake their USUALx compared to how many people want to stake their USUAL into USUALx, put simply.
Dave.race
There's a 10% fee when you unstake. You can almost get the full price by swapping on DEXes (historically), but it's not guaranteed.
David007
hmm strange, it didn't happen before, the ratio usualx/usual must be increase overtime, if it sometime decreases like this what is the point of holding usualx
David007
why the ratio usualx/usual decreases, yesterday it was 1usualx = 1.1933 usual and now it is 1usualx = 1.1828 usual, it makes the usual amount decreases compared to yesterday?
David007
today I tried to unstake usual and the web show 750 usualx as "approved amount" fee, what is this?
ravished
Usual can 10x from here and fast, let's see how these new pools do, I think you will see usd0++ head closer to $1 with the ethena pool
ravished
I have a large investment at a high er price as do others. If you stake the usual you earn very solid revenues I'm usd0 and over time even if the project doesn't grow you will likely make it all back and then some. If the project grows you will make many times your money. Invest in any of that other garbage and there is zero yield. Usual can go lower but it is extremely oversold and the FDV/TVL is at 1.45!
SlattVision
I think usual will go back to 1usd and more, but bue the max suply and the tokens iyected every day will be difficult to happen soon. Maybe will go to 0.8 in a week, maybe not. Everything depends on the people behind it. Their work and the addoption of the people! But coins like xrp/ada/xlm maybe will x2 x3 or x 5 very very soon! Well known coins with less suply and better marketing are everywhere but Usual is relative new proyect. Dont see people very happy with all this proyect at all.. dont really know what to thinkโฆ

if I can get close to a 2x in a year guaranteed, I would be putting my life savings in. That's the fallacy; You've lost 50% already so you're looking to chase returns beyond 100%; But if you really believe that USUAL is going to $1 by EOY you would buy as much as you can now - unless you think you have edge and can get > 100% in other coins

don't think of trading from a need to break even / how much you lost perspective. As much as it sucks, you have to think of it as you have $X today - and whether you want to invest that $X in USUAL, something else or just keep it as cash

yeah it's just simple bond maths
Dave.race
This is the curve they gave. There is no curve for rates greater than 4%, but I assumed it would just follow the corresponding exponential curve (lower)
popo
hello sirs, does anyone have an explanation on how the usual to usd0++ ratio is determined for the 1:1 redemption?
fredchan17999
ya, but eventually it will be back to 1$ for sure haha
12Ghast
but yeah, floor will increase over time regardless
for the next few months those numbers should more or less right
fredchan17999
you didn't consider the time left until maturity date
12Ghast
yep thats what it seems like based on past messages which makes sense
Dave.race
It's basically exponential curves that reflects the future price of the asset at the current rates
Dave.race
I would think that the floor price would be lower than 0.87 if rates are higher (and time left being equal)
12Ghast
either that or super high inflation
so if bond yields continually rise, quite possible to revise floor downwards (5% yield = .84, 6% yield=.81)
12Ghast
yeah cool it's answered here
granted I don't see floor being adjusted downwards by much unless US economy goes wild
12Ghast
yeah but the floor is determined by voting no? not enforced as a constant inthe contract
12Ghast
because according to this logic, if yield of T-bills increases, inherent value of a 4 year bond is thus less than 0.87
fredchan17999
... bro, what's "it can't go lower than the floor", it's FLOOR price
12Ghast
that isn't an explicit statement that they won't adjust below 0.87
12Ghast
oh here?

DAO in the future reserves the right to set FP manually yes, but 1:1 full unlock on June 30 2028 canโt be changed, that part no one has the right to change
12Ghast
granted it's fine for the progression from 0.87 to 1 to not be linear as long as you do reach $1 after 4 years
12Ghast
can a team confirm this in writing though? because I think this is biggest fear point of USD0++ holders
LN123321
I think 0.87 is the lowest price
12Ghast
Does that mean that if bond prices increase (aka yields go down), price floor for USD0++ will adjust upwards? But on the other hand, if yields go up (and bond prices decrease), USD0++ floor may go even lower than 0.87?
CongQ
USD0++ is backed 1:1 by USD0, which is backed by highly liquid SHORT TERM bonds, no 4 year bonds are involved, USD0++ is a 4 years bond itself
12Ghast
*adjusted down
is USD0++ backed by 4 year bonds? That is there is no reason that the 0.87 floor should ever be adjusted as yields are already locked in?
12Ghast
are usual emissions constant? What happens when: - USD0++ TVL increases? (Assuming USUAL/USD0++ rewards decrease) - USD0++ TVL decreases? (Assuming USUAL/USD0++ rewards increase) Does total USUAL awarded for all USD0++ holders remain constant? or decreasing/increasing over time? What happens if USUAL price goes up and down - I'm assuming that USUAL rewards remain the same and just that returns in terms of APY for USD0++ are affected + or - in USD0++ terms

fredchan17999
btw, 0.92$ or smt on secondary market is not what the team can control, it's up to ppl supply and demand there
fredchan17999
Think of it this way: The actual price is still $1, and no one is losing anything eventually. However, your coin is locked in a 4-year lock-up period. This means you cannot exit early without penalties, as doing so would negatively impact the project and its committed investors. Thatโs why the minimum price is set at $0.87 (on primary market), ensuring stability and reflecting the locked nature of the value. Upon maturity, the price will increase back to $1, emphasizing that the value is not "lost" - itโs simply "locked".
Usual
Cortina
I don't think team expected this significant of a discount. It's pretty irrational which makes it hard to model. Seems they underestimated how many people didn't understand what they bought and crypto people tend to panic on depegs because of Luna/UST. All the looping leverage didn't help. It is weird for an asset that is getting 20+% apy to trade at such a discount.
fredchan17999

And heโs asking if that makes sense to me
SatoshiXXX
This type of guy is exactly the problem. We cant explain what 4y bonds is, because they dont even know how bonds work, including the price and yield relationship ๐คฃ
CongQ
The big word โ4 YEARS LIQUID BONDโ, if people are buying something that they themselves donโt even understand as a financial investment, I dont know what to say
CongQ
That makes sense to literally everyone with the slightest degree of financial education
It is not how US bonds works, it is how BONDS work
Puggy
how can i exit this as cheaply as possible. not everybody is familiar with how US bonds work and the wording on the website wasn't clear in explaining that it won't be redeemable
CongQ
USUAL is the coupon in this case
Coupons, Jesus
Puggy
where does the yeild come from then?
CongQ
You buy a 4 year bond at $100, it matures at $100
Yes, same as USD0pp
Puggy
so you buy a $100 treasury not from the fed at $100, and then it matures at $100. does that make sense to you?
People who donโt know what theyโre buying SCREWED THEMSELVES
So people bought $100 notes from the US Treasury got screwed over? NO ITS A FRCKING BOND
Puggy
so you don't think that people who minted these at 1:1 got screwed over?, instantly losing 10% of their capital
CongQ
Buying on secondary is LITERALLY the same as swapping on LP, youโre not paying 1$ either, it is literally called the SECONDARY MARKET.
What are you โYes Exactlyโing about
Do you actually read, IT IS literally sold for $100 from the US Treasury.
Puggy
yes exactly, the bond isn't sold to you for $1
CongQ
โDonโt come to crypto space for 4%โ is literally some crypto bros degen nonsense, itโs like โIโm not in the options market for only the small IV gains.โ
Puggy
your penalty is not 10% of invested capital
CongQ
The number you want to compare the 0.87 to in the Treasury Bonds term is actually 0, since it doesnโt even have a primary redemption option if youโre using retail portals like TreasuryDirect. So you effectively bought the note for 100$ from the US Treasury, and literally CANT redeem it via primary.
CongQ
Dude, that bond is sold for 100$ BY the treasury, thatโs secondary market price, just like the LP price.
Whhiskyy
yeah right but the bond sells for 92.14 not 1. it wouldn't be changed to 82.14 overnight neither. also people don't come to crypto for 4%, 'risk free' rate in crypto is probably supply rate in aave and is more than that. but i guess there's no point explaining that here.
