21.8- next crypto trends -

storage revenues, community , rollups and daos

The trends that i want to explore are :

1. New versions of amms (1,2,3)

Ideas :

1. Private pools - Use case for premissioned pools

2. Fee model that fit the use case - different fees needed based on the asset volatility

3. Not 24/7 liquidity pools -pool LPs could decide via governance to turn off the pool when they believe it no longer makes sense to keep quoting.

4. Different pricing curves - different parameters then the amount of assets in the pool (pure pricing functions). One example is a price function that takes 50 bips fee on top of the Coinbase price.

Or signature based pricing - a desk gives a quote based on the on chain liquidity  -- takes the price from centralized exchanges order books and reflect it on chain

Implementations

1inch- aggregate orders to market makers 

2. Zk snarks based scalable exchanges 

Ideas :

• zarollups exchanges- set of transactions can be bundled together into a single transaction via zk-snark cryptography.

• Optimistic Rollup- Fraud proofs are the mechanism to prove that the state transitions performed by the aggregator (entity responsible for off-chain transactions rollup) were fraudulent and results in a roll-back of the rollup side-chain.

Implementations :

• The Loopring Protocol v3.0

• Synthetix OVM Exchange Demo

• Optimism

• Fuel Labs -- have developed a highly optimised UTXO based optimistic rollup for fast, secure and cost-efficient ERC20 swaps

  3. Community coins (1,2,3,4)

Ideas -

1. Token curated communities - premissiond groups 

Implementations-

1. Tokenized communities :

• Karma dao 

• Defiomega / $dfio- 100 $DFIO, or 10k  for a board memberships, 1k members cap

• $JAMM- Brian Flynn’s Jamm Session newsletter community, Flynn has accordingly committed to adding a new element to $JAMM once a week to extend the TCC project to new horizons.

• $DDIM, or the Duck DAO Dime, 

2. Platforms :

• Daofi - decentralized exchange built for community use cases

• Erc20 token generator 

• DAOhaus V2 — an upgraded, community-operated, sustainability-focused product to spawn magic internet communities. weekly workshops called War Camps, people share their progress and receive feedback from other divisions in the project. Native token -HAUS

For core contributors, the goal is to make DAOhaus sustainable through DAO-upgrades called Boosts.  

4. Interesting daos 

5. Storage --other source of revenue for defi - 

Ideas :to capture the fees people pay for storage through platforms like arweave,sia and filecoin.

• Cash flow coins  - the way it work with yearn is that each vault is a way for users to participate in revenues such as curve lp or comp lending. Earn is automatic and vaults is strategies . the contract takes fees for withdrawals and for performance fees.
