While writing this article, I experienced the comments coming to the proposal in Arbitrum DAO as if I were witnessing a parliamentary fight. Did I internalize it too much? The reason why the article took so long to come out was actually the tabs that were open for days and read repeatedly, not being able to decide where and with which topic to start, finally drawing an outline and trying to push the tabs to disappear again in half a day as a deadline, finally giving up and wanting to focus on a different, shorter and niche topic and at least publish that. And and and after a month.. finally, the article is here, enjoy reading.

Projects that has yield-optimized stablecoins and DAOs ought to determine the treasury management of itself. While i was scanning the sources for protocol-owned-liquidity article, I have came across with Aera and wanted to mention about it in a complete other article.

Aera is a project of Gaunlet.xyz, so far, team achieved great milestones and below, I will be mentioning the logic, how Arbitrum DAO treasury management planned with Aera and so on.

Introducing Aera: Revolutionizing DAO Treasury Management

With billions of dollars sitting in DAO treasuries, managing these assets effectively isn’t just important—it’s essential. In today’s challenging market conditions, DAOs need to think smarter about how they handle their funds. This means using strategies like targeting risk-adjusted yields, keeping enough reserves to stay agile, improving liquidity for their native tokens, and steering clear of overly volatile assets.

Tools like DeepDAO show just how massive and intricate these treasuries can be, making it clear that DAOs need solutions that are not just advanced but also tailored to their unique needs and goals.

Aera, the world's first autonomous treasury management protocol for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), marks a pivotal moment in decentralized finance with its general availability launch. Backed by a successful $8 million token sale led by Bain Capital Crypto, Aera is designed by the team behind Gauntlet, a renowned firm specializing in DeFi economic risk management.

>>At its core, Aera empowers DAOs by offering noncustodial treasury management through secure "vaults" that maintain organizational control and flexibility. These vaults allow DAOs to define long-term strategic targets, such as risk-adjusted yield optimization, liquidity deepening, or asset diversification.

Why Aera Matters: Strategic Benefits for DAOs

Aera simplifies treasury management for crypto-native organizations with advanced features like continuous autonomous rebalancing, real-time performance dashboards, and customizable allow-lists for managing approved assets and protocols. These tools help DAOs achieve their financial objectives while maintaining full control over their assets, and the ability to withdraw funds without penalties provides essential operational flexibility. With over $4.3 million in DAO treasuries already managed, Aera demonstrates its value in optimizing idle assets, mitigating volatility, and enhancing liquidity—all with minimal governance overhead. As Tarun Chitra, CEO and co-founder of Gauntlet, highlights, “DAOs with clear focus and smart operations were the winners in the last market cycle, and Aera was built to enable focused and efficient treasury operations.”

This commitment to balancing complexity with responsibility sets Aera apart. DAOs can use the platform to autonomously manage treasury portfolios with minimal governance intervention, enabling them to respond swiftly to market conditions without the delays and inefficiencies of frequent voting.

Features of Aera:

Protocol-Owned Execution Strategy:

• Optimized with Off-Chain Logic: Monitors liquidity and plans buy-sell operations by modeling price impacts.

• Active and Passive Execution Strategies: Facilitates conversions by positioning ARB tokens in liquidity pools or through direct trading operations.

Automation and Adaptability:

• Aera Vault’s Adaptive Strategies: Tailored to meet the needs of the DAO. For example, ARB-USDC conversion is designed to minimize market impact.

• Dynamic Adjustments: The Vault adjusts transaction volumes based on liquidity and continuously updates parameters according to market conditions.

Innovation in Treasury Management:

• Customizable Vaults: Provides tailored vaults for stablecoins, DAO-owned tokens, and other crypto assets.

• Optimized Decisions: Vault parameters are optimized based on market conditions and aligned with the DAO's risk tolerance.

ARB to USDC Conversion Process

Aera Vault’s Operational Principles:

1. Conversion Strategy:

   >Speed and Efficiency: Converts ARB tokens to USDC within a maximum of one week.

   >Liquidity Management: Transactions are executed using Odos (DEX aggregator) and Bebop (proprietary execution solution).

   >Price Impact Modeling: Minimizes the likelihood of market price disruptions caused by transaction volumes.

2. Data-Driven Decisions:

   >Slippage Monitoring: Measures price slippage during and after transactions.

   >Short and Medium-Term Price Impact Analysis: Assesses hourly and daily market effects of transactions, updating parameters when necessary.

3. Payment Flow:

   > Payouts via LlamaPay: After ARB is converted to USDC, regular payments are made to DAO members through LlamaPay. Payments are spread over six months, totaling 360,000 USDC.

>> Additionally, you can review the following illustration to better understand the Arbitrum treasury allocation

According to the proposal concluded in October 2024, the following can be said about the indispensable role of ADPC in Aera and Arbitrum processes:

The strategic procurement framework developed by ADPC for Arbitrum DAO aligns perfectly with Aera's features of automation and transparency in treasury management. The service providers whitelisted by ADPC are easily integrated with Aera Vaults, accelerating financial decision-making processes within the Arbitrum ecosystem.

By ADPC, we mean the Arbitrum DAO Procurement Committee, a committee established to transparently, efficiently, and strategically manage the service providers needed by projects in the Arbitrum ecosystem. The primary goal of ADPC is to enhance the DAO's operational efficiency by creating a procurement framework that provides predefined rules and cost advantages in critical service verticals like security. This framework aims to ensure the fair distribution and efficient use of the subsidy funds provided by the DAO for security services across ecosystem projects.

Strategic Procurement Framework:

The Strategic Procurement Framework developed by ADPC, a first in the industry, is a system that allows service providers (vendors) and buyers (project owners) to interact under a certain market order and pre-approved contract terms. This outline requires both buyers and sellers to comply with two main criteria:

• Legal Documents: These include conditions that all parties must adhere to throughout the process:

  • Head Terms: Terms covering the conditions all parties are obligated to follow during the process.

  • Work Order Terms: Specific conditions related to the service delivery.

• Mandatory Waivers: An additional layer of assurance requiring both parties to waive specific legal liabilities during the application process.

To Sum up and Last Words..

Strategic Advantages for Arbitrum DAO and Final Thoughts

Arbitrum DAO has taken a major leap forward in operational efficiency thanks to Aera’s automation and protocol-owned execution strategy. The Aera Vault made it possible to convert ARB tokens into $414,000 worth of USDC in just one week, all while keeping market impact to a minimum. By using advanced liquidity modeling and slippage forecasting, Arbitrum DAO was able to cut through bureaucratic hurdles, speeding up treasury management processes. For example, instead of running separate bidding rounds for crucial services like security audits or RPC providers, Aera’s "whitelist" solution allowed the DAO to quickly and seamlessly onboard key service providers. This not only saved time but also helped Arbitrum hit its strategic goals faster.

From a cost perspective, Aera’s tools for modeling price impacts and its execution strategies brought substantial savings, benefiting both the DAO and its ecosystem projects. During the ARB token conversion, platforms like Odos and Bebop optimized transactions while keeping slippage rates exceptionally low, ensuring the DAO’s resources were used effectively. On top of that, the combination of transparency, community involvement, and Aera Vault’s automation raised the bar for professionalism in fund management. Payments to DAO members have been structured over six months via LlamaPay, covering $360,000, with an additional $54,000 allocated for operational needs.

This partnership hasn’t just helped Arbitrum meet its immediate goals—it’s also set the stage for a bigger transition toward a more complex operational company (OpCo) model. By embracing innovation, Arbitrum and Aera have not only created a new benchmark within the DAO ecosystem but also provided a clear roadmap for other DAOs aiming to scale their operations effectively.

Since you've made it to the sources, you're either one of those who skim through quickly or, like me, you're genuinely curious about treasury and yield areas in the blockchain world. Keep doing what you believe in and love. :)

Remember: 1 is greater than 0 :)

This idea came to me while drafting my latest article on yield-bearing stablecoins. During my research, I came across a project called Aera. When I wanted to learn more about it, I thought it would be much better to talk about protocol-owned liquidity first. The thing is, almost e-v-e-r-y single article I read was ALMOST the same. Even their headings were identical. This one will not be one of t-h-a-t ones. First, this article will explain on-chain liquidity, liquidity mining, and lastly, POL.

On-chain Liquidity and Protocol Growth

What is On-chain Liquidity?

On-chain liquidity allows users to transact directly on the blockchain without needing a centralized intermediary. This liquidity model offers a mechanism operating through DEXs, facilitating the buying and selling of tokens. As liquidity depth on DEXs increases, transaction costs decrease, and slippage is minimized. This enables investors to enter and exit positions more efficiently, leading to a rise in overall protocol activity and trading volume.

Why Should a Protocol Prioritize On-chain Liquidity?

The main issue is the lack of enough DEX liquidity, which makes it hard for a protocol's native token to gain wide acceptance in the DeFi ecosystem. This problem is even bigger for systems like lending or perpetual protocols that depend on highly liquid markets.

Liquidity depth also plays a crucial role in expanding the token ecosystem. Low liquidity makes it challenging for large investors to take positions due to high slippage, deterring potential investors. However, as liquidity on DEXs increases, it becomes easier for new market participants to enter the ecosystem, supporting the protocol's organic growth—a win-win.

Additionally, liquidity is a core determinant of token price stability. Insufficient liquidity leads to significant slippage during large transactions, increasing price volatility. Robust liquidity pools absorb such unexpected sales, maintaining price stability. This dynamic often creates a self-reinforcing cycle: increased liquidity drives higher trading volumes, resulting in higher fees for LPs and attracting more liquidity providers. This positive cycle lays a solid foundation for the protocol's long-term growth and value creation.

One Last Step Before POL: Liquidity Mining

Liquidity mining is a strategy often used during the initial phase of on-chain liquidity. LPs are incentivized to deposit their crypto assets into liquidity pools, supporting decentralized trading, lending, and other financial activities. LPs are typically rewarded with additional tokens, significantly boosting capital flow. How effective are these incentives? Research shows that, depending on market conditions and token profiles, each dollar of incentive can significantly increase daily liquidity.

The key advantage of liquidity mining lies in its high leverage effect on expenses. A small incentive expenditure can generate thousands of dollars of liquidity in DEX pools. However, this strategy also has notable drawbacks. Primarily, the liquidity generated is often temporary. When the program ends and rates normalize, so-called "mercenary" LPs withdraw liquidity to pursue other mining programs, potentially destabilizing the protocol.

Moreover, during periods of market turbulence, LPs may withdraw liquidity despite incentives, leading to critical losses in DEX liquidity when it is most needed. Finally, liquidity mining incentives are costly as they are unrecoverable payments from the protocol treasury. LPs often sell these native tokens, exerting downward pressure on token prices and shrinking the protocol treasury over time.

What is Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL)?

As the DeFi ecosystem grows, a fundamental question arises about liquidity: Is there a more effective way to control it? The answer lies in a model often overlooked yet in plain sight: Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL).

To understand POL, let's first define the problem. In traditional liquidity models, protocols depend on external liquidity. This means playing in a field where others set the rules—a risky and costly approach. POL flips this equation. Instead of relying on external sources, protocols create and control their own liquidity. In this model, the reins are in their hands.

Why is POL so significant?

For instance, with POL, protocols can respond swiftly to market movements. This is not just a competitive advantage but also a strategic gain. Additionally, POL transforms liquidity from a cost center into a revenue stream. Thus, protocols can use their treasuries not merely as reserves but as active strategic tools.

Liquidity management now becomes more than answering whether liquidity is available.

Quick Look at POL’s Working Mechanism

POL's success lies in protocols directly owning and managing liquidity. For example, Olympus DAO holds liquidity in pairs like OHM/wETH and OHM/DAI within its treasury. By governing liquidity through community management, the protocol becomes resilient to external factors.

Mechanisms like Reserve-Balanced Swaps (RBS) establish a dynamic balance between liquidity and reserves, protecting against market fluctuations. This system ensures liquidity is not only maintained but also optimized.

The Cooler Loans mechanism allows users access to reserves, deepening liquidity and enhancing user flexibility regardless of market conditions.

In conclusion, POL is not just a liquidity management tool; it is a growth engine for protocols.

A Tangible Example of POL

Consider a user holding 800,000 DAI planning to buy 50 ETH and 1 BTC in two months. Traditional methods to meet this need include:

1. Immediate Purchase: The user acquires assets immediately to avoid price changes. However, these assets remain idle for two months, missing potential gains.

2. Deferred Purchase: The user waits two months to purchase, risking price increases that may exceed their budget.

3. Using Derivatives: The user buys derivatives tied to ETH and BTC prices, which may provide capital efficiency but come with extra costs and limited availability.

A POL-backed model offers more flexibility:

• Reserve and Liquidity Management: The user deposits DAI into a POL-backed pool. The protocol manages these reserves to meet the user's ETH and BTC needs under favorable market conditions.

• Dynamic Market Alignment: POL uses algorithmic mechanisms to stabilize ETH and BTC price fluctuations, protecting the user from market volatility.

• Maximizing Idle Assets: DAI generates additional value through transaction fees or other liquidity mechanisms, providing income without selling assets.

A More Complex Scenario:

Imagine a protocol anticipating a liquidity need of 150–200 ETH over three months, contingent on market conditions. POL balances reserves and liquidity, minimizing uncertainties. Excess reserves are leveraged for transaction fees or incentives, ensuring optimal use of resources.

Maximizing Liquidity with Innovative Approaches

great example of pushing liquidity efficiency further is Abracadabra.Money. This protocol allows users to borrow stablecoins, specifically MIM (Magic Internet Money), by collateralizing interest-bearing tokens such as yvUSDT and xSUSHI.

Unlike traditional collateralized loan systems like MakerDAO, which use assets such as Ethereum, USDC, and USDT as collateral, Abracadabra introduces a novel approach. By using interest-bearing tokens (e.g., yvUSDT, which represents staked USDT in Yearn Finance, or xSUSHI, earned from staking SUSHI on SushiSwap), users can continue earning yield on their collateral while borrowing against it.

This mechanism optimizes both liquidity and capital efficiency, allowing users to unlock the value of their staked tokens without sacrificing the rewards they generate. It’s a prime example of how DeFi protocols are innovating to improve asset utilization and enhance user experiences.

Most of us are new to the blockchain industry and have only spent a short time trying to understand it. This limited experience may mean we've overlooked a significant, long-term value accrual tool that has recently gained traction: stablecoin yields.

After discussing stablecoins, I decided to prepare a write-up explaining yield-bearing stablecoins, which are also the type of stablecoins I’m working on.

A yield-bearing stablecoin is a type of stablecoin that offers its holders passive income (yield) while maintaining a stable value. This yield is achieved through the reserve-backing system that supports the coin. The annual percentage yield (APY) is displayed as a percentage, representing how much profit you can earn annually.

Traditional fiat currencies generate passive income through fixed deposits or interest on government debt. With yield-bearing stablecoins, investors can choose the source of their stablecoin yield. This feature represents a groundbreaking innovation in stablecoins and offers the opportunity to include other digital assets as part of the backing.

DeFi Native Yield

DeFi Native Yield refers to the earnings or interest generated within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem through the supply-demand dynamics of various crypto assets. DeFi, operating on blockchain-based infrastructure, eliminates intermediaries like banks, enabling direct financial interactions between individuals. This approach expands access to financial services, allowing anyone with an internet connection to lend or borrow crypto assets and earn income from them.

How Does Lending Work in DeFi?

Lending and Borrowing Processes

• Lending : You can earn passive income by depositing assets like DAI (or SKY), Ethereum, or Bitcoin into platforms like MakerDAO (now called Sky), Aave, and Compound. These platforms pool your assets and lend them to others seeking credit.

• Borrowing : To borrow, you need to offer your crypto assets as collateral on the platform. However, due to the volatile nature of crypto markets, these loans may have higher interest rates than traditional bank loans.

• Earning Interest : The interest paid by borrowers is distributed among users providing liquidity to the pools. This allows your investments to generate regular income instead of remaining idle.

Automated Market Makers (AMMs)

Platforms like Uniswap and SushiSwap facilitate trades by providing liquidity for users looking to buy or sell. You can provide liquidity to trading pairs such as ETH/USDT and earn transaction fees as income. This is another way to grow your investments.

Liquid Staking

In traditional staking, assets are locked for a set period and cannot be moved. In liquid staking, however, users receive liquid staking tokens representing their locked assets.

How Does Liquid Staking Work?

1. Depositing Assets : Users deposit their crypto assets into a liquid staking protocol, which stakes them on their behalf.

2. Generating Liquid Staking Tokens : In return for their staked assets, users receive liquid staking tokens (e.g., mSOL for Solana). These tokens enable users to transact or use their assets in other DeFi protocols without un-staking them.

3. Earning Rewards : Over time, staked assets accrue staking rewards. These rewards are reflected as an increase in the market value or total quantity of liquid staking tokens held by users, further growing their investments.

Liquid staking tokens can be used to earn yield and maintain the stablecoin’s value. As your staked assets generate rewards, the value of these tokens increases, allowing you to earn income without locking your assets. Additionally, these tokens can be utilized in DeFi applications, such as adding liquidity to pools or using them as collateral for loans. Some protocols even employ these tokens to enhance the stability of stablecoins.

Example of a Yield-Bearing Stablecoin: Ethena Finance

What is Ethena Finance?

Ethena Finance offers a stablecoin solution that provides price stability without relying on banks or fiat reserves. It supports this system with an Ethereum-based financial instrument called "Internet Bond" and both provides profit and maintains price stability. The stablecoin offered by Ethena is an asset that is pegged to USDe, the dollar, and provides profit by staking Ethereum and Bitcoin. This mechanism works with the delta-hedging method.

What is Delta-Hedging? Delta is a term that measures how sensitive the value of a derivative product is to changes in the price of the underlying asset:

>> Positive Delta: If the delta of the derivative product is +1, the value of this product increases by $1 when the asset price increases by $1.

>>Negative Delta: A derivative product with a delta of -1 loses value as the asset price increases.

How Does Delta-Neutral Work?

A delta-neutral portfolio is a portfolio with a total delta of zero. This means that the portfolio is not affected by price changes in the underlying asset.

Example:

Ethena issues a stablecoin called USDe, which is backed by 1 ETH. In this case, the delta of USDe is +1, meaning that as the price of ETH changes, the value of USDe also changes.

>>To achieve a delta-neutral balance, Ethena takes a short position worth 1 ETH. The delta of this position is -1.

>>The positive delta (+1) and the negative delta (-1) cancel each other out, so the net delta of the portfolio is zero.

As a result, the dollar value of USDe remains constant whether the price of ETH increases or decreases. The gains from the increase in the price of ETH are offset by the losses from the short position, and vice versa. This method maintains stability by preserving the value of the stablecoin.

>< As of writing, Ethena Labs announced today the next generation stablecoin: USDtb

USDtb Launch

Ethena Labs has launched USDtb, a new stablecoin backed by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund. USDtb invests its reserves through BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in partnership with Securitize, a leader in tokenization of real-world assets.

Securitize is one of the leading platforms for tokenization of real-world assets. By partnering with leading asset managers, it provides investors with investment opportunities that offer lower minimum investment amounts, shorter lock-up periods, and increased liquidity options. Securitize enables private companies to raise capital and provide liquidity from investors, providing greater access to alternative investments.

General features of USDTtb:

• 90% of reserves are held in BlackRock's BUIDL fund

• Similar structure to traditional stablecoins such as USDC and USDT

• Free transfer opportunity

• Usage on different blockchains thanks to LayerZero technology Security and Audit: The security of the system has been confirmed by leading auditing companies such as Pashov, Quantstamp and Cyfrin. It has also been subject to a comprehensive audit by the Code4rena community.

Partners:

• Custody Services: Copper, Zodia, Komainu, Coinbase Web3 Wallet

• Liquidity Providers: Jump, Cumberland, Wintermute, Amber, GSR, SCB Limited

This new product is independent of USDe and offers investors a different risk profile. In line with the transparency principle, a platform has been introduced where all reserve assets can be viewed.

>>Final Words

Keeping 90% of the reserves in BlackRock's BUIDL fund can be considered a strategic move in terms of both providing access to a strong liquidity source and increasing institutional trust. Using a fund from a world-renowned financial institution like BlackRock shows that the stablecoin has a solid foundation in reserve management and can increase investor confidence. However, it also carries a significant centralization risk.

Using LayerZero technology allows stablecoins like USDtb to be easily portable and usable on different blockchains. This increases interoperability in the DeFi ecosystem, significantly improving the user experience. Access across chains allows USDtb to reach a wider user base and increase its liquidity. I think seeing LayerZero-powered OFT on PayPal USD (PYUSD) again also shows that trust in LayerZero is increasing.

LayerZero OFT: Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) is a standard for fungible tokens that can be transferred between multiple blockchains by "wrapping" assets, without the use of middle chains or liquidity pools.

How is Tether or USDT Stability Achieved? TL:DR; If you are wondering: Tether's stability is based on the implementation of various financial strategies and mechanisms (such as reserve support, supply-demand and arbitrage balance).

Backed by Reserves: Tether announced that it has reserves behind each USDT at a one-to-one ratio. These reserves consist of valuable assets such as cash, US Treasury bonds, Bitcoin and gold. As of 2024, the latest data I could pull, Tether's reserve distribution is as follows:

• US Treasury Bonds: Approximately $100 billion worth.

• Bitcoin: 82,000 (approximately $5.5 billion worth).

• Gold: 48 tons. (yes, gold!) Supply and Demand Balance:

  Those who frequently follow crypto news channels during the US elections will remember these notifications :) Tether prints or burns tokens according to the demand for USDT in the market. This mechanism works as follows:

  Demand Increase: When users want to buy more USDT, Tether accepts fiat money and prints new tokens and releases them to the market. In other words, we are actually talking about a cash US dollar asset behind it. Sounds a lot like web2, right? Or web1? web0?

When demand decreases, when users return their USDT, these tokens are removed from circulation and fiat money is paid in return. In other words, the second stage of this process provides stability by maintaining the supply-demand balance, which is a very simple mechanism. Arbitrage Opportunities: The value of USDT can sometimes deviate from $1 for a short time. In this case, arbitrageurs come into play:

What is arbitrage? Arbitrage can be described as a financial transaction based on the logic of making a profit by buying and selling foreign exchange, stocks or precious metals by taking advantage of small price differences between markets.

USDT value < 1 US Dollar: Arbitrageurs buy USDT at a low price and return it on the Tether platform to obtain 1 US Dollar.

USDT value > 1 US Dollar: New USDT is printed and sold in the market to balance the price.

>> Example Scenario:

Case 1: Price = 0.98 USD

• Arbitrage Opportunity = 0.02 USD per USDT

• Buy 100,000 USDT at 0.98

• Cost = $98,000

• Redeem for $100,000

• Profit = $2,000 (2.04% ROI)

Case 2: Price = 1.02 USD

• Excess Demand Detected

• Calculate Required Supply Increase

• Mint New USDT

• Sell at Market

• ​​Price Stabilizes to 1 USD

  • //Arbitrage Opportunity = 0.02 USD per USDT

What is Proof of Reserve?

Proof of Reserve is a mechanism used to prove that a stablecoin or exchange has sufficient/insufficient reserves. It works with evidence such as disclosure of reserves, independent audits, transparency reports.

>> Last words, Tether (USDT) has managed to keep its value at $1 with the mechanisms we mentioned. Proof of Reserve is defined as an intermediary mechanism that ensures this stability is transparent and auditable. Proof of Reserve offers investors not only a financial guarantee, but also the potential to create a greater trust environment in the market. Therefore, it is becoming a critical standard for stablecoin projects and decentralized finance solutions.

While writing this article, I had the opportunity to review Tether's transparency reports. You can access the link here.
