Behold MegaETH, an Ethereum layer-2 protocol, gallantly thrust into the spotlight by none other than Vitalik Buterin himself-yes, that dazzling wizard of crypto lore-now plotting to unleash a yield-bearing stablecoin. Unlike those pedestrian L2s that scavenge transaction fees like digital raccoons, MegaETH dreams of a grander, more mellifluous business model, one that may just pirouette past the usual dreary hustle.
The stablecoin, whimsically baptized USDm-because why not sprinkle a little mystique?-is co-conceived with Ethena, a formidable algorithmic stablecoin behemoth boasting a $13 billion treasure trove in total value locked (TVL). This alliance will breathe life into USDm atop Ethena’s USDtb infrastructure, which, in turn, plays the financial puppeteer managing reserves funneled into BlackRock’s BUIDL-a tokenized US Treasury bill fund, lounging comfortably with a $2.2 billion market cap and a yield as steady as your grandma’s knitting.
Word on the blockchain is that the proceeds from these reserve yields will graciously subsidize those pesky sequencer fees, the toll Ethereum’s layer-2 pays to whisper batches of transactions onto the main chain’s ear. Imagine that-a financial spa day for your gas costs!
The scheme, as pitched by MegaETH’s co-founder Shuyao Kong (who presumably drinks coffee stronger than your average smart contract), promises to “lower fees for users” and unleash a “more expressive design space for applications.” Translation: cheaper rides and wilder playgrounds for dapps. 🎢
For the uninitiated, yield-bearing stablecoins are quaint little digital ducks tied to stable assets like fiat currencies, but with a cunning twist-they generate income. Yes, forage and flourish all in one.
Market excitement (or maybe sheer rebellion) surged in the wake of the GENIUS Act passed in the United States, a piece of legislation so paradoxically named it forbade issuers from hawking yield-generating stablecoins. Amid this crackdown, Ethena’s USDe and Sky’s USDS have swollen like prize-winning pumpkins, thriving under the iron hand of bureaucratic sobriety.
Fees on Ethereum
Oh, the drama of sequencer fees! Within Ethereum’s hallowed halls, these fees evoke spirited debates where die-hard maximalists clamour for a larger slice of the revenue pie-because who doesn’t want more pie?
Token Terminal, that diligent ledger-keeper, reports Ethereum raked in a staggering $1.1 billion in fees over the last calendar year, though since February, this mountain of money has been quietly eroding, much like my last attempt at a soufflé.
