            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>Agility has developed a new mechanism called <strong>Maturity-Boosted Liquidity Mechanism (MBLM)</strong> that aims to improve the <strong>“stickiness” of liquidity</strong> in our pools. The model is designed to align incentives in a way that benefits all participants in the Agility ecosystem, while also fulfilling the liquidity distribution feature. Agility is confident that this is the optimal model for achieving these goals.</blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*9bklaYWjA31SFEHpwGjFPg.png" /></figure><h3>Current Mercenary Capital</h3><p>Agility has attracted a huge TVL of $500,000,000, which is a huge achievement that has brought attention and reputation to Agility. However, we soon realized that this model is not sustainable, so we immediately reduced emissions by about 40% in the proposal of AIPE-3.</p><p><a href="https://snapshot.org/#/agilitydao.eth/proposal/0xaa0c460cabb5c6edbc415b14ea103a5502e710d32f5db0abb32db45675a17eb1">Snapshot</a></p><p>Although the current methods of attracting liquidity are effective in bringing it in, they are not as effective in retaining it over long periods. Liquidity Providers seeking the best return on investment, also known as “mercenary capital,” are motivated by high APRs and tend to move their capital to the protocols that generate the highest returns. This makes liquidity not “sticky,” and it becomes difficult for protocols to predict their liquidity needs and offer the necessary incentives to achieve their goals as APRs change from one epoch to the next.</p><p><em>When the token price falls, LP incentives are lower, and TVL flees, chasing other yield opportunities elsewhere. And this will lead to further price drops, ultimately resulting in a death spiral. </em>Most DeFi protocols end up like this, and this is the problem that Agility wants to solve.</p><p><strong>Simply put, liquidity providers receive significantly higher returns without bearing the responsibility of providing sticky liquidity.</strong></p><p>That’s why Agility has proposed the Maturity-Boosted Liquidity Mechanism (MBLM).</p><p>Let’s dive into MBLM.</p><h3>Introducing Maturity-Boosted Liquidity Mechanism (MBLM)</h3><p>These Maturity-Boosted liquidity positions earn boosted esAGI rewards if LPs commit to providing liquidity for a longer period of time. LPs can choose a lock time of 1–30 days and get a linear growth multiplier (1x-3x). <strong>The longer the lock time, the greater the reward multiplier.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*1zMM3BYH3qxgiPOWWLss4w.png" /></figure><p>LPs can choose their preferred lock time and receive the corresponding reward multiplier. <strong>A higher reward multiplier results in a higher APY during liquidity provision.</strong></p><p>After LPs’ selected lock time, LPs can continue earning rewards at the boosted rate until such time as they choose to withdraw their liquidity.</p><p>The Maturity-Boosted Liquidity Mechanism (MBLM) means a lot for Agility, not only ensuring the stability of Agility’s liquidity, but also providing more rewards for LPs who provide liquidity for a longer time. This is a fair mechanism.</p><h3>Where MBLM will be used?</h3><p>First, will be the AGI-WETH Boost Pool which is super important for Agility. Agility will also provide more rewards to the AGI-WETH Boost Pool to incentivize Sticky LPs.</p><p>Then, will be AGI Single Staking Pool.</p><p>Last, all pools will use MBLM.</p><p>This is a fundamental flaw in DeFi World that Agility will solve. Truly aligning all participants on the long-term health and sustainability of Agility, not just in the current moment but at all times in the future.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_BvXE6tVEdU75YqW81YdqA.png" /></figure><p><strong>Maturity-Boosted Liquidity Mechanism (MBLM) will bring a flywheel to Agility!</strong></p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=2fa3fdc2363d" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Through Triceratops Rewards!</strong></p><blockquote>According to our estimation, <strong>esAGI Holders will receive approximately 60% APR for a Duration of 14 days.</strong></blockquote><p><strong>You can follow these steps to get Triceratops Rewards.</strong></p><p><strong>1.If you don’t have esAGI</strong></p><p>Step One: Stake AGI and Get your esAGI. <a href="https://agilitylsd.com/triceratops">https://agilitylsd.com/triceratops</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ge5MKgelzUGAuLUBMpYEeA.png" /></figure><p>Step Two: Hold esAGI during the reward period, we will filter eligible addresses through block snapshot.</p><p>Step Three: Claim your rewards after the reward period.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*py2_OqyZzJ8ysLV4Iwiuyw.png" /></figure><p><strong>2.If you have esAGI</strong></p><p>Step One: Hold esAGI during the reward period, we will filter eligible addresses through block snapshot.</p><p>Step Two: Claim your rewards after the reward period.</p><p><strong>3.If you have vesting esAGI</strong></p><p>Step One: Cancel esAGI Vesting. <a href="https://agilitylsd.com/farm">https://agilitylsd.com/farm</a></p><p>Step Two: Hold esAGI during the reward period, we will filter eligible addresses through block snapshot.</p><p>Step Three: Claim your rewards after the reward period.</p><h3>Benefits of holding AGI</h3><p>As a community, we believe that AGI holders play a vital role in the healthy and stable development of the Agility protocol. Therefore, we want to encourage AGI holders to continue holding their tokens, and we are excited to propose a new initiative that we believe will incentivize them to do so.</p><p>Introducing the AGI Pool: a new program that will reward AGI holders for their commitment to the Agility protocol. By participating in the AGI Pool, holders will have the opportunity to earn additional esAGI tokens through staking. This not only benefits AGI holders by increasing their holdings, but it also benefits the Agility protocol by promoting stability.</p><p>We will launch AGI Staking Pool, where users can stake AGI to earn esAGI.</p><blockquote>According to our estimation, <strong>AGI Staking will receive </strong>~50% APR.</blockquote><h3>AGI&gt;esAGI</h3><p>As described above, esAGI holders will play the most important role in Agility protocol, such as:</p><ul><li>Governance Agility Protocol</li><li>Obtaining the majority of Protocol Revenue</li><li>Obtaining Triceratops Rewards</li></ul><p>Therefore, we have opened the pathway for AGI&gt;esAGI conversion.

So we are excited to announce that we are about to launch the Liquidity Distribute Platform.</p><p>Imagine the following two scenarios:</p><ol><li>LSD WAR <br>BullishETH is a low market-cap LSD issuer that is superior to Lido in terms of mechanism design and returns. It wants to gain a larger LSD market share, but the lack of liquidity and attention makes it difficult for BullishETH to grow quickly, which also limits the decentralization of LSD. However, things are different now. BullishETH can choose to cooperate with Agility and open its vault on Agility Liquidity Distribute Platform. With the incentives of $esAGI and $BULL, Liquidity Providers will notice the value of BullishETH and provide liquidity for it.</li><li>LSD Liquidity WAR <br>LSDLend has created a new lending mechanism that is more suitable for LSD assets. However, it can hardly attract ETH and LSD liquidity. But things have changed now. LSDLend can collaborate with Agility and open its vaults on the Agility Liquidity Distribute Platform. With the incentives of $esAGI and $LEND, Liquidity Providers will realize the value of LSDLend and provide liquidity for it.</li></ol><p>LSD Distribute Platform is a huge and amazing thing that is worth continuous buidling. Therefore, we have decided first to launch two features, <strong>Vaults</strong> and <strong>esAGI Voting</strong>, to meet the liquidity needs of other protocols.</p><ul><li>Vaults: Support for multiple LSD yield strategies and compatibility with other protocols, such as Aura, Pendle, etc.</li><li>esAGI Voting: Incentivize community participation in protocol governance and earn a substantial income.</li></ul><p>For Liquidity providers, they can find secure and reliable strategies on Agility and receive higher yield incentives.</p><h3>Mars Phase: July-November</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NHzJxl5omQpT0K7UxDcoVw@2x.png" /></figure><h4>aUSD Mint/Redeem Module</h4><p>At this stage, Agility will launch aUSD. aUSD is a native LSD stablecoin, minted with high-quality LSD assets and stablecoins as collateral.</p><p>Collateral Candidates: USDC, stETH, ETH</p><p>At this stage, the main goal of aUSD is to maintain stability rather than blindly expanding the scale of aUSD.</p><p>Currently stealth cooking, what we can share is aUSD System will include,</p><ul><li>aUSD Mint/Redeem Module</li><li>aUSD Lending Platform &amp; Lending Liquidation Module</li><li>aUSD Stability Module</li><li>aUSD Emergence Liquidation Module</li><li>aUSD Peg Liquidity Module</li></ul><p><strong>It is worth noting that $AGI and $esAGI will play an important role in the aUSD ecosystem.</strong></p><h4>aUSD Lending Module</h4><p>For LSD assets with low liquidity, they can release liquidity by attracting aUSD holders to provide aUSD in their lending pool. Therefore, low-liquidity LSD holders can use their LSD as collateral to borrow aUSD in order to release liquidity.</p><p>Both Agility and LSD issuers can incentivize aUSD suppliers to provide liquidity for Lending Pools.</p><p><strong><em>How about the Borrow APY?</em></strong></p><p>We are brainstorming to decide on the mathematical formula for Borrow APY, which has the following variables:</p><ul><li>aUSD utilization rate</li><li>Liquidity measurement indicators of supported LSD</li><li>Margin amount deposited by LSD issuers: to compensate aUSD suppliers in case of LSD large depeg.</li></ul><h4>Liquidity Distribute Platform</h4><p>At this stage, Agility will continue to build the Liquidity Distribute Platform and introduce the bribe feature.</p><p>The bribe feature can guide liquidity in a decentralized manner, bringing more profits to the Agility Community. Protocols that require LSD Liquidity will also be able to obtain liquidity more efficiently and at lower costs.</p><h3>Galaxy Phase: November-Future</h3><h4>aUSD Trading Platform-Cretaceous</h4><p>At this stage, Agility will build an aUSD Trading Platform to enrich the application scenarios of aUSD.</p><p>aUSD can be used for trading and hedging, such as</p><ul><li>long/short $ETH, $BTC, $GMX, $GNS, $Pendle, $Gear, etc.</li><li>long/short LSD Yield</li><li>option, gambling, etc.</li></ul><h4>Liquidity Distribute Platform + aUSD = ?</h4><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cNVpQ-7UC8wYGJOZ92WdgQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>This part is in the secret plan, but it can reveal something.</p><p>What if the vaults on the Liquidity Distribution Platform can also open aUSD Lending Pools?</p><p>What can Liquidity Providers of Liquidity Distribute Platform do when they release their liquidity?</p><p>Leverage?

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shanghai upgrade is coming. LSD Narrative gonna dominate the on-chain world. Let’s dive into LSD.</p><h3>Part 1 — What LSD brings?</h3><p>1. On-chain Yield Source Staking yield can carry the yield demand of a large number of funds on-chain; the largest source of interest has surpassed lending. Thanks for your data, sir. <a href="https://twitter.com/0xngmi">@0xngmi</a></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*xei6968SbLB1Fl5YO1XyHw.jpeg" /></figure><p>2. Interest Benchmark The staking yield is much higher than the previous lending rate. After the Shanghai upgrade, it can be deemed a risk-free rate of ETH standard.</p><p>Staking yield will also be transmitted to the entire on-chain world through DeFi(like lending), becoming the Interest benchmark of the DeFi world.</p><p>With high-quality interest-earning assets like LSD, we believe there will be many innovative protocols in LSDFi. Such as</p><ul><li>leveraging LSD yield</li><li>actively managing LSD strategies</li><li>obtaining LSD benefits in advance</li><li>trading LSD yields.</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*GAAHkClBO7ySoyMJK6OPqw.jpeg" /></figure><p>LSD Ecosystem will increase the asset value and TVL on the chain. Bring the second DeFi Summer.</p><h3>Part 2 — Why Agility LSD?</h3><p>A brief recap of Part 1</p><ul><li>LSD is the most significant narrative of Ethereum this year</li><li>LSDFi is the most innovative track of DeFi</li><li>There will be more protocols built on LSD</li><li>Liquidity determines whether Defi protocols can survive</li><li>These LSD-relative protocols need initial liquidity</li></ul><p>This is exactly why we build <a href="https://twitter.com/agility_lsd">@agility_lsd</a> — The LSD Liquidity Layer and LSD Trading Ecosystem. Let’s dive into the Agility world.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*ofUZxZmdGzWwv3Zu_IOz6g.jpeg" /></figure><p>Let’s imagine three scenarios first.</p><h4>Scenario One</h4><p>Imagine AAVE is going to start its own ETH staking service. And AAVE issues its LSD, i.e., aaveETH. Then AAVE will need massive liquidity to support aaveETH. Too expensive for AAVE to provide all liquidity for aaveETH-ETH pair.</p><h4>Scenario Two</h4><p>Protocol B creates a new lending mechanism more suitable for LSD assets. But it can hardly attract ETH and LSD Liquidity. For example,<a href="https://twitter.com/Sodium_fi">@Sodium_fi</a>， and <a href="https://twitter.com/abacus_wtf">@abacus_wtf</a> in the NFT field, shout out to creative builders.</p><h4>Scenario Three</h4><p>Protocol C has created a new LSD lego gameplay, such as leveraging LSD yield, actively managing LSD strategies, obtaining LSD benefits in advance, and trading LSD yields. But it’s also difficult for new protocols to attract liquidity.</p><p>That sounds too bad. Innovation is blocked by capital and liquidity. However, we will get Agility, an LSD liquidity layer. It will distribute ETH and LSD liquidity to the demand place.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*21y7fe0jjEIBWLVkuony-g.png" /></figure><p>What can agility do for them?</p><p>Agility can distribute LSD/ETH Liquidity to them, whether AAVE or other innovative LSD-relative protocols requiring LSD liquidity. Agility takes over this duty and will promote the health and prosperity of the LSD ecosystem.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*wOz63VBGlpF44U9mmAXXnA.png" /></figure><p>How does this work?</p><p>The liquidity demand side uses bribes to attract esAGI holders to vote for their vaults, emitting more esAGI, and attracting more liquidity.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*T8a6C1mb45_SyfvUq_CUEQ.jpeg" /></figure><h3>Part 3 — What’s next? aUSD!</h3><p>At present, the liquidity release path of LSD&gt;USD is mainly the lending on AAVE and Compound. This year, the borrowing APY of USD is increasing on AAVE and Compound, which makes the liquidity release too expensive (&gt;3%).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/679/1*Zmqky8NPcKRlX2MTlgy0Hg.png" /></figure><p>Expensive borrowing cost makes things unaffordable. However, the liquidity release cost of LSD&gt;aUSD is almost zero. How does this work?</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/680/1*WUVCNRsrE2WL0qiEad_fJg.jpeg" /></figure><p>aUSD Mint/Redeem aUSD is an over-collateralized stablecoin issued by Agility. Users can only mint aUSD by using aLSD or aETH as collateral.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/679/1*E7mb47Mv0DzR1ixj_0XyXg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Yeah, I get aUSD at a free cost, but where can I trade it?</p><p>aUSD Trading Platform!!</p><p>aUSD can be used for trading and hedging, such as</p><ul><li>long/short <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ETH&amp;src=cashtag_click">$ETH</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24BTC&amp;src=cashtag_click">$BTC</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GMX&amp;src=cashtag_click">$GMX</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24GNS&amp;src=cashtag_click">$GNS</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24Pendle&amp;src=cashtag_click">$Pendle</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24Gear&amp;src=cashtag_click">$Gear</a>, etc.</li><li>long/short LSD Yield</li><li>option, gambling, etc.</li></ul><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/679/1*a5UUkjXJfG2ztYRzNhpcrg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Imagine some scenarios</p><ul><li>While obtaining LSD yield, you can release liquidity for trading</li><li>By shorting ETH, you get a real delta-neutral yield on LSD</li><li>You want to hedge exposure risk or long LSD yield.</li></ul><p>aUSD Trading Ecosystem can well meet these needs</p><p>Agility will be a pioneer and core contributor in <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LSDFi?src=hashtag_click">#LSDFi</a> and the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/2ndDeFiSummer?src=hashtag_click">#2ndDeFiSummer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LSDSummer?src=hashtag_click">#LSDSummer</a>.</p><p>More info: <a href="https://t.co/JA0cKZyfwb">https://docs.agilitylsd.com</a></p><p>Agility, let’s go!</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=44ebfb6ca0f7" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
