YFI Pulse 12.23 — Pickled Sushi, ETH 2.0 Staking Vault, Happy Holidays from Yearn!
Welcome to YFI pulse the daily newsletter about all things happening YFI. Sometimes short, sometimes long but you can count on it every day!

Discussion

yvSNX v2 Vault <> Curve strategies
Curve launched an ETH/sETH pool. They have several pools with Synthetic tokens represented in them (sUSD, sEUR, sBTC, etc.).
With the farming opportunities of both SNX and CRV, they make an excellent option for multiple strategies to be written using SNX to mint synth tokens and stake into Curve. With Synthetix unique ability to allow cross-synth swaps with no slippage and a low fee, combined with Curve’s ability to allow large token <> synth swaps at very low slippage and a low fee, this seems like a natural powerhouse asset type for a set of strategies in a new v2 Vault.

About Citadel.one

Citadel.one is a non-custodial Proof-of-Stake platform for the management and storage of crypto assets. Users can create public addresses for all supported networks with one seed phrase, connect their Ledger or Trezor device, or import an address generated by another wallet.

The analytical dashboard provides relevant information on wallets’ balances and networks’ main metrics. In Citadel.one, we are standardizing the semantics, making interactions with the platform as easy as possible. The same goes for network metrics. By using universal terms, we are making it easier for users to understand and compare networks.

One of the main functions of the Citadel.one platform is participation in the PoS consensus — users can stake and delegate their assets, claim rewards, and follow the latest network proposals in the voting tab.

Citadel.one offers its users instant cryptocurrency exchange services that allow fast and secure crypto assets swap, and it is also possible to buy and sell crypto with a credit or debit card. Citadel.one users can track rewards, withdrawals, transfers and deposits across all supported networks and add comments to these transactions.

Among PoS platforms Citadel.one supports Secret Network ($SCRT), Cosmos ($ATOM), ICON ($ICX), IOST, Orbs, and Tezos ($XTZ). For our user’s convenience we also support Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Tether ($USDT). Mobile and desktop versions, new networks, including Polkadot and Ontology, are scheduled for the upcoming updates. Furthermore, delving into the idea of true decentralization we envision Citadel.one a decentralized autonomous organization and a truly community owned platform in the nearest future.
