Start with the believers…

Just dropped a new video where @nnevvinn gives a top-to-bottom explanation of the Reserve Protocol. 🤓 Whether you're new to #DeFi or a seasoned vet, this one's a must-watch. Check it out! #ReserveProtocol

8/ This part of this diagram covers how $RSR is staked onto an RToken to overcollateralize it in case of an underlying collateral depeg. Once the RToken detects the collateral has depegged, it sells the staked $RSR for emergency collateral - more on that later.

1/ Yield is on our mind this week! Let's double click on how @yearnfi uses RTokens to power some of the strategies covered in weekly yield updates. What is actually going on under the hood? How are they generating these returns? Does this include native RToken yield?

1/ Where does RToken yield come from? How does it get passed onto stakers and holders? How much of the revenue should be passed to each party? All this and more in part of the Reserve video series:

1/ The herd at @StakeDAOHQ is leading the charge in this week's RToken yield update 🐘 Let's dive in! ⬇️

It’s Friday, Friday 🤪... Let’s do something a little different! @franklin_dao ’s recent research report came out 1 week ago, and is an excellent discussion on how the protocol works. Key takeaways: 1⃣ RTokens can and have handled collateral depegs, such as during the recent USDC depeg. This is a security feature key to the protocol and the success of the recapitalization process depends on the amount of $RSR being staked onto the RToken. In eUSD’s case, the peg was restored to $1 far before $USDC’s came close. 2⃣ This eUSD crisis was precipitated by $USDC collateral being stored in accounts greater than FDIC limits, which $RSR overcollateralization could eventually present an alternative to. Indeed, in countries like New Zealand which do not have an FDIC equivalent, RToken overcollateralization makes it a compelling alternative - that’s before we even talk about inflation (more at https://t.co/F0HyVCYL04). 3⃣ As the protocol matures, the report suggests DAOs will start to deploy RTokens thanks to the ability to send RToken revenue to specific addresses, not just stakers and RToken holders. It even predicts entire organizations with the sole purpose of deploying and maintaining RTokens. This might be happening sooner than we think 🧐 4⃣ One of the key value propositions of RTokens is their transparency. Having verifiable, onchain proof of reserves will be the building block of trust in the protocol and the RTokens deployed using it and will likely reduce friction for wider adoption. 5⃣ Reserve protocol can embrace the Real World Asset wave to pursue its dream of making stable currency accessible for everyone. Traditional finance has recently plugged into decentralized finance more and more, but this movement is not one way. As more RWAs come onchain, the chances of more RTokens being backed by one (or multiple) grow by the day. That’s all for this post. These are only our takeaways - there is a lot more to read in this report, which can be found above or here https://t.co/FqM12pRN00 We’d like to thank @franklin_dao for this detailed look at the protocol and we welcome any comment, disagreement or otherwise in the Reserve protocol discord. https://t.co/N5h6oTww42 Have a good weekend! 👋

A question for $RSR stakers: How much yield is sufficient to make you feel comfortable with providing first-loss capital and risk slashing?

This third part of Reserve's video series is a bit longer than the first two, but just as important! Today the team will discuss selecting an RToken's Emergency Basket and how they play a role in an RToken default scenario.

Join us Wednesday 9/20 at 9:30am PT for the Developer Community Call in Discord. Hear from @gauntlet_xyz , @LewellenMichael of @OpenZeppelin , and @0xJMG of @reserveprotocol . See you there!

1/ Happy Monday, time to kick off the week with the featured RToken farms! 👨‍🌾

Join us in RToken Lab for the latest developments at Reserve! Agenda: 🇸🇬 Recapping Reserve's first Asia event with @flywheel and friends @token2049 🔋Reserve's brand remains strong 📈 RToken growth vs the DeFi market Wednesday at 9am PST, RSVP at https://t.co/fPOxvYk6lp

1/ 🦺 Reserve's safety week ends today! Leave them wanting more... 🦺 This final installment covers a critical area for a decentralized protocol: governance risk. Reserve takes pride in choosing onchain governance, but this comes with difficulties. How are they mitigated?
