Live evidence for the @aave x @KelpDAO x @LayerZero_Core governance war room on second-order risk.
@avantprotocol is currently running a single $156M sUSDe looping position on Aave Mantle.
$140M USDT0 + $20M USDC borrowed against it.
Net APY -135% (net of sUSDe embedded yield the pain is less, but still deeply negative). Health factor 1.02. Borrow power 100%.
This isn’t a rounding error. It’s one of the largest single positions on @Mantle_Official, sitting at liquidation threshold, eating deep negative carry, structurally dependent on Aave Mantle staying unfrozen indefinitely.
Under the L1-backstop / L2-zeroed proposal, forced unwinds of positions like this are the transmission vector back to Core via sUSDe depeg pressure on thin L2 secondary liquidity.
You can believe this position is fine in isolation.
You cannot believe this position is fine in isolation AND that L2 zeroing has no second-order cost to stakeholders like @avantprotocol. Pick one.
More quants, fewer lawyers in the war room, for the sake of this industry. 🫡

when I first joined Yearn in 2021, people were begging us to build UST strategies. In 2022 we were earning like 2% onchain, not too far away from where we are right now, and people could "get 20% on UST" so we lost over $2B TVL overnight
i've run into more than a few people who i recognize from back then, who were once exposing their customer to UST, and are now working on the institutional side of crypto
Just got back from @EthCC in Cannes.
Not gonna talk about tech. This thread is about the real sentiment on the ground - what builders, VCs, and market makers are actually saying right now.
It's not pretty. But you need to hear it. 🧵
@VonNeumMeme both those were ages and ages ago.
yearn immune bc they’re basically the only motherfuckers who legit don’t trust anyone and peer review everything. they act like everyone’s DPRK to the point where not even DPRK is DPRK lmao.

1/ Excited to launch EtherFi Season 5 point tokens!
With liquid @ether_fi pts, users can earn real yield by turning their points into profits without any lockups.
Let's see what you can do 👇
- point selling, lowest risk. our highest supported etherfi pt stream (3.5x boost) is providing a 0.22% APY lift, e.g. on @0xfluid weETHs/wstETH Looping, which is earning net 55% APY on ETH 🔥
- point buying. kpEF-5 point tokens are currently valued at $418m implied FDV, assuming 8.9T terminal point supply (as in szn 4). $ETHFI is trading at $1.2B at the moment
- providing $ETHFI / EtherFi point token liquidity to Rumpel's Univ3 pool to earn trading fees + Rumpel Straw 🌾
