Anchor Protocol: DeFi’s Leading Saving Product
In the past few years, DeFi applications have seen tremendous growth. At the start of the year 2021, the Total value locked (TVL) in DeFi applications was used to be around 18 billion dollars. Currently, TVL in DeFi applications is around 200 billion dollars, which is more than 10x of the TVL of January 2021. Total unique DeFi wallets are 4.3 million right now, more than 4x the unique DeFi wallets of January 2021. Various DeFi applications provide financial services like lending & borrowing, trading, prediction markets, yield farming, etc. Still, there are only a few million DeFi users, and the Anchor protocol of Terra Ecosystem wants to change it. Team of Anchor Protocol believes that a saving product is required for the mass adoption of DeFi applications. Anchor is a saving protocol that offers low-volatile yields on deposits of Terra Stablecoins. The Anchor interest rate is powered by staking rewards from Proof of Stake blockchains, and therefore more stable rates can be expected. Anchor Protocol makes a money market between a lender and a borrower. Lenders can earn stable yields by depositing their Stablecoins while borrowers can borrow stablecoins on their stakeable assets. According to the protocol-defined borrowing ratio, borrowers can lock their bonded assets (bAssets) as collateral and borrow stablecoins. Currently, Bonded Luna (bluna) and Bonded ETH(bETH) are the only two bonded assets that can be put as collateral for borrowing stablecoins. The stream of staking rewards comes from borrowers’ global pool of collateral. These staking rewards are converted into stablecoin, which are given to the lenders in stable yield. Tokenomics of Anchor Anchor Protocol’s governance token is the Anchor Token (ANC). Users who have staked ANC tokens can propose new governance polls, which can be voted on by users who have staked ANC tokens. ANC token is designed to increase its value linearly with Anchor’s assets under management, allowing it to capture a piece of the protocol’s yield. Anchor provides protocol fees to ANC stakeholders proportionally to their stake, benefiting stakeholders as adoption of Anchor grows. ANC stakeholders are driven to suggest, discuss, and vote for proposals that improve the protocol. ANC Value Accrual The buying pressure increases proportionally as ANC tokens grow in lockstep with Anchor’s Assets Under Management. Protocol fees are used to buy ANC tokens from Terraswap, which are then paid to ANC stakers as staking rewards. Protocol Fees ANC captures protocol fees created by Anchor, with 10% of the value flowing into the yield reserve being used for the value accrual of ANC tokens. bAsset rewards, excess yield, and collateral liquidation costs are used to fund Anchor’s protocol fees. basset rewards A portion of the rewards from deposited bAsset collaterals is used to buy ANC, with the rest going into the yield reserve. If the yield reserve’s inventory reaches a sufficient amount, governance can modify the ratio of bAsset rewards utilised for ANC purchases. Excess Yield Deposit rates higher than the target deposit rate are stored in the yield reserve, with a portion of it utilised to purchase ANC. The ANC tokens that have been purchased are subsequently given to ANC stakers. Collateral Liquidation Fees When a loan is liquidated, 1% of the liquidated collateral value is sent to the yield reserve, with a portion going into ANC purchases. This cost is not included in the bid premiums. Governance Fees ANC token deposits of Anchor governance polls that have failed to attain the needed quorum are then allocated to ANC stakers as staking rewards. At the start of the Anchor Protocol, 150 million ANC tokens were released. Fifty million (33.3 percent) tokens were airdropped to LUNA stakers, with staked amounts snapshotted at block 2179600. One hundred million tokens (66.7 percent) were set aside for the Anchor Community Fund. Final Token Distribution A total of 1,000,000,000 ANC tokens will be distributed over four years. No more new ANC tokens will be added to the supply once this quantity has been distributed. Various methods to earn money with Anchor: Depositing UST is a simple way to earn money with Anchor. The protocol project itself as a savings product and provides a 20% annual percentage yield (APY) on deposit. Users can borrow UST by putting their bAssets, i.e. Bonded Luna (bluna) and Bonded ETH(bETH), up as collateral. Users can also buy and stake ANC to receive staking rewards and participate in governance. You can also earn rewards while at the same time providing liquidity to exchanges by staking your LP tokens (ANC-UST LP). Conclusion Anchor is the leading DeFi protocol of Terra Ecosystem. Currently, 13 billion dollars worth of assets is deposited in the protocol. Its goal is to become a stable saving solution for DeFi users, providing passive income. Anchor has an easy to use interface, which will be helpful in onboarding millions of … Continued

NexBloc Announces Buy Credits Get Tokens Program for the NexBloc Utility Token
 |
The NexBloc Utility Token, anticipated to be named $NEXB, will be used for numerous benefits to holders including:
- staking for discounts off domain purchases and services
- farming for yield
- access to gated content such as NFT Avatars and partner offerings
- direct purchases with the burning of those tokens
- governance for managing the token by the DAO
The tokens will be listed on exchanges by mid-Spring 2022 so that owners can accumulate amounts they can use for the above benefits. Governance will be enabled by creating a DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) structure to be established by the end of 2022. The DAO will take over token economics through a process that staking owners specify. It will also provide project approvals for community-sponsored ideas that improve the use of the decentralized web. A portion of NexBloc revenue will be escrowed to fund the projects approved by the DAO.
Dana Farbo, Founder of NexBloc, stated that "NexBloc solves the needs of Web 3.0 infrastructure with a blockchain DNS. Our focus on building community and a strong business will position us to win in the bDNS space. Other participants have one or the other but not both."
It is estimated that blockchain DNS will follow a similar path for tools and resources that the centralized DNS space took. bDNS and services annually open a total addressable market (TAM) of close to USD 200 billion over the next decade. NexBloc will vie for a sizable market share by bringing new products and services to its user base. Furthermore, with the use of Credits and through the staking value of tokens, community members and customers will see significant benefits for using NexBloc to build new products for the future of the internet.
About NexBloc
NexBloc is building the next generation of the internet with blockchain DNS at the core. Blockchain digital entities tied to the decentralized web is the future of personal data protection and use.
Founded as a BVI company in 2021, NexBloc has created proprietary technology stacks to custom deploy bDNS systems. They currently have over ten private blockchain top-level domains (bTLD) in various forms of deployment. In addition, they are working to build the most scalable, omnichain interoperable platform for deploying bDNS.
