In this conversation, DeFi Dave and Kiet discuss the origins and development of Baseline Markets with Fully Allocated and Indigo, a DeFi primitive that aims to create a fairer and more transparent tokenomics system. They explore the differences between Jimbo and White Lotus, the challenges faced after a hack, and the process of building Baseline on Uniswap V3. They also explain the three liquidity ranges in Baseline and how lending and leverage work within the system. The conversation explores the Baseline Protocol and its unique features. It discusses the fixed rate and fixed interest structure of the protocol, as well as the ability to borrow and increase the Baseline Liquidity Value (BLV). The conversation also covers the advantages of borrowing ETH with no additional collateral and the ability to profit from BLV increases. It delves into the concept of leveraged exposure through borrows and the benefits of collateralized lending. The conversation addresses the absence of liquidation cascades and the token burning mechanism. It also explores different strategies and risk profiles, as well as the risks and criticisms of the system. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the liquidity configuration and the future plans for Baseline, including the launch of a launchpad for tokens.

In this week's episode we have on Richard from Prisma, we've been wanting him to come on the show for a couple of months now, as the LSD stablecoin protocol has been one of the fastest growing of Frax's partners last year. We spoke with him on a variety of topics that included bootstrapping Prisma, navigating its launch, its wild growth, and plans for the future.
We cover topics such as the Prisma system and its use of liquid staking derivatives, the stability pool and redemption process, pain points for users and developers, the lockdrop and emission schedule, and the success factors behind Prisma's launch.
We also explore the value accrual of the Prisma token, revenue distribution, and the upcoming smkUSD release.
Takeaways
Finding the right balance in the DeFi ecosystem is a challenge, but it is possible with the right product-market fit and collaboration.
The important role of Frax, Curve, and Convex to the Prisma ecosystem.
Partnerships and integration with existing systems can help advance a DeFi protocol and drive its success.
Understanding risks and providing tools for users to make informed decisions is crucial for the growth of the DeFi space.
Narrative and branding play a significant role in attracting users and creating a strong community.
Exploring innovations outside of Prisma and staying open to new opportunities is important for personal and professional growth.
In the last episode of 2023 for Flywheel, we review the entire year's major events and milestones of the year for Frax. We covers our funding & grant applications, the launch of veFPIS, the CR vote, the USDC depeg event, the Shapella upgrade, educational incentives, and the Zuzalu conference and everything else that happened this year.
In this Episode of Flywheel with DeFiDave and KapitalK, we invited on crypto's tastemaker loldefi. We spoke about his transition from fashion to crypto, the differences and similarities between the two industries, the experience of reviewing ICOs, the success of loldefi merch, and the creation of the Who Anon book.
https://twitter.com/loldefi
Takeaways
The fashion industry can be exclusive and focused on networking, while the crypto industry is more collaborative and approachable.
The ICO boom of 2017 was filled with scams and questionable projects, but also provided opportunities for significant returns.
The success of loldefi merch during DeFi Summer demonstrated the strong connection between the crypto community and fashion.
The who anon book aims to document the culture and stories of the crypto space in a physical format, providing a unique and tangible experience. The collapse and trial of SPF had a significant impact on the crypto space, highlighting the need for caution and due diligence in the industry.
Maintaining a decentralized environment is crucial to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
Branding and compliance play a vital role in building trust and longevity in the crypto industry.
The wealth destruction caused by SBF and Caroline serves as a cautionary tale for investors and participants in the space.
Individuals involved in the SBF collapse may face legal consequences, and their liability is yet to be determined.
Engaging in off-chain activities and hobbies is important for personal well-being and balance in the crypto world.
Advice to the younger self includes not letting external pressures define success and embracing the mindset of creating one's own reality.
Recommended guests for future episodes include Grug and Rookie, who have unique stories and perspectives to share.

This week could be a game-changer for Frax, yet the buzz is oddly quiet. With Convex Finance and Prisma Finance on board, we're peeling back the layers of an innovative DeFi strategy that could shake the foundations of digital finance. 🤯
💥 Highlights:
Prisma Finance's launch and its rapid TVL growth
Convex's strategy on Prisma token locks
The “droplock” tactic & its implications on DeFi governance
Frax's strategic position with locked CVX and voting power
🔍 In this deep dive, we explore how these maneuvers benefit Frax, potentially boosting sfrxETH vault APYs, impacting mkUSD supply, and influencing Curve pool dynamics. It's not just a financial play; it's a governance power move that could lead to the so-called "Prisma Wars". 📈

This is the first in a multi-part series produced by the Flywheel team that takes a deeper look into the question “What is Money” and how does it function. The insights gained here will provide more context and education around why we think Frax is the best form of crypto money.
In this inaugural episode, Producer Sam McCulloch explores the most important attribute of money… its ability to maintain value at par on demand. We take it for granted that every type of money we have is accepted at face value. What would it be like if your cash was worth less than the money in your bank account? It would cause chaos.
Understanding the importance of holding the peg is vital to the workings of Frax and its role in crypto.
A Stablecoins is only as good as its redemption ability in the most volatile of markets. It doesn’t matter how well you held the peg previously, such was the fate of UST, which stayed relatively close to the peg for many months, only to completely fall apart and destruct within a few hours.
While UST was considered as “money,” a proper analysis would have shed serious concerns about its claims to value. Its redemption ability for $1 was fully reliant on the price of LUNA maintaining. When LUNA sold off, it created a negative reflexive loop where UST was able to be redeemed for less and less, which only led to it being sold off even faster. In the end the UST/LUNA blow up should have been expected, its money claims were not guaranteed and there was no group providing a “put” to halt downside price declines.
The US dollar on the other hand has the entire US government and country supporting its backing. Every dollar has the full faith and guarantee of the government. If the dollar peg were ever to fail, the government would and has stepped in to prevent serious damage. This gives consumers and investors the confidence to use, transact, and hold billions of US dollars in reserves, bank accounts, and wallets on a daily basis.
For FRAX to be successful long term, it must also hold the peg no matter the conditions. If any significant deviation were to occur, people would lose faith in the protocol and dump their holdings to flee for safer assets.
Since its launch, the FRAX/USD peg has only tightened. New developments like the Curve AMO make it mathematically impossible for the peg to break. Anyone using FRAX can know with fully transparency where every single FRAX in circulation is being held or deposited. This openness is a core tenet of the protocol. For FRAX to grow long term, the peg must be held at all costs, there is no other option.

On a landmark episode of Flywheel, this week we have on the Intellectual Godfather of Algorithmic-Stablecoins Robert Sams who wrote the original seignorage shares whitepaper in 2014 and Sam Kazemian whose brainchild Frax Finance is the most successful practical implantation of that paper. We start off the show setting the foundation of viewing stablecoins from a historical context, reflect on their performances in the present day, and ultimately set the stage for the endgame of Frax. We hope you learn something new and please subscribe and like the show!
