Thetanuts Finance Bi-Weekly Update (16 February 2024)

Recap of the Previous Two Weeks

TVL
On January 29, we began to distribute $ARB rewards for users of Thetanuts Finance v3. $ARB rewards are distributed on a weekly basis, and were claimable every Monday of the following week. We have seen a substantial increase in TVL on Arbitrum from >$1.6mm to $6.4mm across 3 weeks, representing a >280% increase.

Correspondingly, all three components of Thetanuts Finance v3 have also seen growth in TVL – largely given that we have funnelled users to using the Add Liquidity Module, which supplies liquidity to these three components.

Our Dune query for TVL on Arbitrum can be found here.

Lending Market
Due to the bullish nature of the current market, we’ve observed an increased interest in put instruments on Thetanuts Finance v3 – resulting in $USDC being more utilised compared to $ETH and $ARB, as $ETH and $ARB are the collateral assets used in call instruments.

To encourage greater usage of call instruments, Thetanuts Finance v3 will adjust borrowing interest rates per below:

  • $USDC from 6% to 8%
  • $ETH from 6% to 4%
  • $ARB from 6% to 4%

User Interactions
Since we started distributing $ARB rewards, the number of users interacting with our protocol has grown by >45% on a 7D average basis. While most of the TVL growth can be attributed to high value wallets, we have observed a growing number of lower value wallets that are interacting with Thetanuts Finance.

Aside from the distribution of $ARB rewards that are driving user interactions on Thetanuts Finance – our on-chain questing campaigns with Galxe, Layer3, and Zealy have also played a large role.
