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!

📢 Thrilled to launch our “Notes on Reserve” series of @reserveprotocol , with an inaugural spotlight on safety. 🛡️ Dive with us into the complex realms of decentralized finance. 🎥 Link:

2/ It handles counterparty risk with proof of reserves which make RToken collateral verifiable 24/7 onchain, unlike Silicon Valley Bank (for example). Reserve also mitigates counterparty risk by having independently verifiable smart contracts. Start at

2/ What do those features look like in practice? There's only one way to find out: https://t.co/EwglG8HjHE What do you think of these features? Share your thoughts after reading with the community in Discord.

🦺 Welcome to safety week day 2! 🦺 Today's piece will show how Reserve has worked to mitigate smart contract risk, which involves: ✅ 5 Audits from @trailofbits , @code4rena , @HalbornSecurity & more ✅ A $5M @immunefi bug bounty ✅ High code coverage ✅ Fuzzing and much more!

Anyone in 🇸🇬 for @token2049 ? Join the Reserve team alongside @fraxfinance , @FlywheelDeFi , @berachain , @blocmatesdotcom . @templedao , @osec_io and @Clique2046 for a night of disucssion and drinks shoulder to shoulder with some of the best in DeFi. RSVP at
