How it ended up




We definitely saw a large difference between our projected fees vs our eventual outcome. This time it's easy, we'll just re-lock into our veVELO position.

Assessing the rewards

We've been over $TLX before and we're already holding some.

$TLX


Chart has been positive as of very recently.

And that's been reflected in our holdings. https://www.coingecko.com/en/portfolios/public/BAh7BjoRcG9ydGZvbGlvX2lkaQOMdvs=--a87db3ce145500cb6b6133a305b803e1c1b0f96f


Those low vAPRs....

For a change of pace let's look at the worse vAPRs. Now some of these LP have no or very low votes (1 & 2) but some still have significant amounts of votes (3 & 4).



So the lesson is two-fold:

  • make sure to update your votes each week
  • if you can't reliably update your votes each week, and you don't want to lock in a relayer, then vote for the LPs with the most fees as you'll more likely see an LP with high fees one epoch have high fees the next one.

My voting rewards




How it ended up



Rewards were a bit over half what we'd had predicted. So not a bad result. We'll swap the $WAI but add the $VIRTUAL to our exisiting holdings. Though those aren't looking fabulous at the moment.

$GHST is from an OG crypto game that is connected to the same team who run the largest lending platform in crypto today: Aave

Those high vAPRs....

$ROCK is a memecoin that is playing off the joke that it's a black rock and there is also a very famous fund manager called BlackRock. It's not super clever but in the realm of memecoins it's definitely well above average.

As goes memecoins, I've seen worse. Still, it's pretty crap.
