Almanak x V3 - Optimization Recommendations

Wednesday 23 Nov., 2022

NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ARE IN

The following changes need to be implemented:

  • ETH: swapping fee at 0.3156% (from 0.2337%) with TL @ 93.0860% (no change)
  • LINK: swapping fee at 0.5328% (from 0.7796%) with TL @ 91.0000% (from 69.1185%)
  • DAI: swapping fee at 0.8006% (from 0.7501%) with TL @ 92.0000% (from 81.4083%)

Note: TL baseline is extracted on-chain at the time of recommendations posting (1 minute prior to). On that day, the v2.1-v3 migration moved TVL as a one-off adjustment, explaining the momentarily change in TL occurring at the same time we pushed the recommendations. TL went back on the proper levels immediately after.

Key facts

  • Overall protocol deficit declined over the month
  • Fee recommendations are accurate and synced with market liquidity/volatility
  • Almanak-managed pools outperform the other pools, generating additional revenue

Monthly Results

  • Protocol Deficit: 1-month decrease of 16%, circa $5M
  • Swapping Fee: Overall increase of the fees to support the revenue while striking the balance with required arbitrage volume
  • Trading Liquidity: TL maintained at historical levels and adapted to frequency switch (d to w)
  • Almanak Fee Perf.: Almanak fee maintaining upside atop the benchmark market fee (BMF) indicating outperformance
  • Almanak Pools Perf.: Ratio Fee/Volume above non-Almanak pools despite observed decrease in volume across the market
  • DAI vs Other Stables: Fee revenue trend for DAI pool compares steadily to other stables at slightly below level

Next Steps

  • We identified avenues of improvement/focus that we’ll address in the next month:
    • Monitor closely DAI pool vs other stables to avoid structural breaks
    • Implement the similarity metric we have developed to assess structural breaks
    • Optimizing the TL with a 5% step instead of decimal to align operational update process
    • Continue improving the report to make it more legible, more insightful

How would you comment the LINK pool volume ? LINK pool = $11,352,667 . In the last few days we have this volumes :
21th $1317
22th $3898
23th $1166
24th $0?
25th $3169
26th $0?
27th $262
28th $282 until this moment

I mean,I myself made more volume with Link on another chain.Do you really think these recommendations work? $8777 in volume for a $11M pool.With a 1.91% fee that’s $170 in fees in a week from one of the biggest pools in Bancor? Uni LINK / ETH has $2M in volume from a $17M liquidity. I know it’s like comparing apples and oranges,but still,the difference it’s absolutely gigantic.
