1/ Today, we are thrilled to unveil Fluid ( @0xFluid )
An ever-evolving DeFi protocol, base for future financial system.
Enabling highest capital efficiency and unbeatable rates.

How did @0xfluid do today?
- No bad debt
- Highest trading day at $380M in volume and 10.8% market share on Ethereum
- Liquidations were processed smoothly
- Day with highest fee & revenue
Due to the very severe & sudden market crash some users had 100% of liquidation of their position.
Only negative thing, withdrawal limits on Liquidity Layer was hitting due to massive liquidations & user's withdrawals. We will be releasing a proposal for this to relax the withdrawal limits (from current 25% to new 50%) for protocols which are live for more than 6 months.
Good stress test! Everything worked as expected!

new essay: on fluid
there is endless talk about all the foundations n vcs that "represent" ethereum, but far too little focus on the actual builders that actually push ethereum forward.
let's change that.
in this essay, i write about the concepts behind @0xfluid, the groundbreaking protocol built by my good friends and long term collaborators @smykjain, @sowmay_jain and @thrilok_kumar, who have been grinding away endlessly improving ethereum for years w little attention.
i was heavily involved in ethereum from 18-20, including being part of key ideas like smart accounts and wbtc, and it kinda tough to see the current identity crisis engulfing the ecosystem.
it is my strong belief that focusing on the builders who are actually pushing the technical limits of ethereum forward is the only way for the community to emerge stronger than before.

Happy to have @0xCoinshift's USDL integration on Instadapp Pro π
Enjoy this new integration with our DeFi Smart Accounts, bringing a new level of control and asset management to your portfolio.
We are excited to announce that Coinshift has partnered with @Instadapp!
Buy csUSDL on Instadapp Pro directly from your DeFi Smart Account (DSA) and earn real yield, powered by:
β’ T-bill yields.
β’ DeFi lending markets.
β’ SHIFT & MORPHO rewards.
Just launched ETH-USDC pool with $20M cap on @0xfluid with $INST rewards. Here's how we plan to become the deepest ETH-USDC pool in DeFi, make the LT on ETH-USDC borrowing vault to 95% & LP to 0.1% ππ
Fluid DEX has now been live for little over a month. Community saw how money market can super power DEX and make it 10x more efficient but they haven't yet seen how DEX can make money market 10x more efficient.
This will be released over next 2 months as our volatile DEX grows. With this new update you can expect liquidation threshold on ETH-USDC to be 95% & liquidation penalty to be as low as 0.1%. Here's how it'll happen
In next 2 months, we will grow our ETH-USDC DEX to $100M in tradable liquidity with incentives. ETH-USDC DEX will be attached to ETH-USDC vault to allow liquidations to have higher priority than trades. During scenarios of flash crash, the DEX liquidity will first be reserved for ETH-USDC liquidation before allowing external trades to go through (this will all happen within 15-30sec).
Note: Check for liquidation will take about 5-10k gas. Due to super optimize Fluid's liquidation engine which allows to get all this data on-chain at a very cheap gas cost.
The wave is coming πππ
ETH-USDC DEX pool is live with 15k $INST / $FLUID rewards π
This will allow users to have a supercharged LP, utilizing Smart Collateral and Smart Debt for more efficient LPing.
With trading APR on both collateral and debt, you earn more than regular LPs!
DeFi renaissance
algorithmic buybacks will start once Fluid reaches $10m annualized revenue (soon)
unused revenue accrues straight to the treasury
the ticker is $FLUID
We launched Fluid with the dream to make it the major DeFi protocol
9 months later, we are completely sure that Fluid will become the biggest protocol in DeFi
The goals for 2025 are to become the biggest DEX by volume and reach a $10b market size
TLDR:
β’ $INST to $FLUID rebrand with 1:1 migration and no dilution.
β’ $1B+ market size; Fluid DEX is the 3rd largest on Ethereum with some of the deepest pools.
β’ Introduction of algorithmic buybacks (an exciting approach) and growth incentives to drive adoption.
β’ Targeting a $10B market size and becoming Ethereumβs top DEX by 2025.
β’ Emphasis on governance, community rewards, and protocol expansion.
We are on right trajectory to grow Fluid. From now on, we will be going super hard on Fluid's growth & tokenomics! π
I would be disappointed if we didn't achieve these goals end of next year:
- $10B in market size
- $50M in yearly revenue
- Atleast 40% of DEX volume on Ethereum
Instadapp / Fluid is the breakout DeFi dapp of this cycle imo.
They reached $1B+ in TVL without incentives or points - just a superior product.
Catalysts:
β’ Aave DAO proposing to buy $4m worth of $INST
β’ New tokenomics on the way
β’ Much more
People thought about Fluid as a lending market. Then they thought about it as a DEX. Both are wrong.
Fluid is an ever-evolving Liquidity Protocol and any financial market that requires on-chain liquidity can be (and will be) built on top of Fluid.
Two products, each reaching a billion-dollar market size, spun out of the @Instadapp ecosystem.
Lite and @0xFluid are now cornerstones in DeFi.
Another zero is missing. Back to work!
A new Aave proposal is up to buy $4M of $INST with their own stablecoin $GHO in a partnership between two DeFi giants, @aave and @Instadapp.
$INST will be provided back on Instadapp's DEX @0xfluid on $GHO pairs.
$INST already up 4.6x since October with minimal chatter on CT.
Super excited for this!
Aave & Instadapp has long history dating back to 2018. The team I admired the most in DeFi is Aave. I have witnessed Aave rebranding from Lend to Aave to becoming the leader of the industry with constant innovation.
We have grown with Aave on L2s. Currently, Aave is the most used protocol on Instadapp Pro. Initial support of Stani & Marc on Instadapp Lite helped it grow to 100Ms within 1-2 months of launch.
Aave really values innovation and they believe Fluid has something special to provide to DeFi. Iβm very excited to grow GHO equally if not more than USDC & USDT on Fluid.
Letβs fucking GHOoooo π»π
My favorite kind of swaps on @0xfluid is someone doing collateral swap on Aave.
Here user collateral swapped 1000 ETH into wstETH.
By "just using Aave" user "just used Fluid" π
