Call For Neutrino To Come Home To Waves
The Neutrino Protocol called for the holders of the token to “come back” to Waves. Neutrino USD (USDN) has lost its peg twice in a period spanning two months and there are dangers of a third de-pegging should large-scale selling occur, said the Protocol in a blog post last week.
The call by the protocol behind Neutrino is geared at supporting the stability of the coin and reducing the effect of external liquidity pools and improving the liquidity on Waves among other reasons, according to the blog.
Meanwhile, Ivanov pointed out that USDN annual percentage yield is nearly 70% on Vires, a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol based on Waves.
Master Plan For DeFi
Last week, Waves also released its DeFi Master Revival plan, which addressed the de-pegging of USDN from the dollar after Terra Classic (LUNC) and TerraClassicUSD (USTC) collapsed.
The plan involves buying and locking CRV tokens with 45% of WAVES staking profits from Neutrino.
