1/ Understanding the underlying value of $CNC of @ConicFinance 🍦 to accurately evaluate the value it brings to the $CRV-$CVX-$CNC flywheel 🛞
A 🧵 on everything you need to know on why $vlCNC is the next big thing (Hint: Cheap Liquidity 😉)
2/ To understand the basic mechanism of @ConicFinance , please refer to the thread i made below

3/ @ConvexFinance was the first flywheel, allowing protocols to bribe for higher emission of $CRV on specific pools in @CurveFinance
This allowed @FraxFinance to acquire $vlCVX and direct higher $CRV emissions on $FRAX pools compared to other pools ($FRAX > $3POOL)
4/ Therefore, protocols desiring liquidity in Curve essentially needs to accumulate $vlCVX to direct $CRV rewards into wanted pools (also called the #CurveWar)
TLDR: Acquire more $veCRV ($vlCVX) to vote on $CRV emission
A summary of 🧵's by @CurveCap

5/ $vlCVX also receives bribes from different protocols for $vlCVX holders to vote on their pool emissions
This creates a fluctuation of $CRV emissions on each pool every 2 weeks
6/ Pools that receive votes generate ↑ APR to ATTRACT liquidity
However, $vlCNC actually DIRECTS liquidity into the “MOST EFFICIENT POOL” with "highest" yield
$vlCVX = direct $CRV inflation gauges = ↑ APR
$vlCNC = direct liquidity shift → pools with ↑ APR
7/ However, at the same time, because the deployment of liquidity deposited on @ConicFinance is not based on a smart contract to always deploy in the "HIGHEST" or the most efficient pool,
There may be a war to accumulate $CNC to direct #Omnipool liquidities to specific pools
8/ Essentially, this means #Omnipools may be distributed on pools with ↓ and even unattractive Curve pools if the $vlCNC holders choose to do so 😲
You probably see where this is going - #CNCWar
Protocols can easily fight to lock more $vlCNC to govern the #Omnipools liquidity
9/ I personally see high demand and benefits for $CNC relative to LPs in the short run (until $CNC MC becomes > than the TVL of the pools)
✅ This is also enhanced by the "GUARANTEE" factor TVL assets are directed by $vlCNC holders as @ConvexFinance only “ATTRACTS” liquidity
10/ This translates to a simple formula =
1 $vlCNC / #Omnipool TVL
#Omnipools are efficient yield collecting pools so it will naturally grows in TVL with high APR (as $CNC is distributed on top of $CRV & $CVX)
$CNC MC < Omnipool = 🙆♂️ Cheap
$CNC MC > Omnipool = 🙅♂️ Cheap
11/ Then why would LPs want to deposit if liquidity is dictated by $vlCNC holders?
1. Efficient way of earning high yield based on emission shifts
2. Rewards are in $CRV + $CVX + $CNC (> than depositing on Convex)
3. LP Boost Factor: mechanism to prevent abuse of #Omnipool
11/ $vlCNC is boosted by two factors:
What this does is it allows LPs to have a bigger say on how the TVL will be distributed across pools in Curve
✅ A setup to prevent protocols with no LP exposure to abuse the protocol’s model through immediate $CNC buy up (when cheap)
12/ $CNC accumulators and LPs (with higher voting boost) will compete to shift liquidity of @ConicFinance
• This is good for $CNC as there is ↑ demand
• LPs are earning $CNC on top of providing liquidity - therefore, they also do have interest of having healthy $CNC demand
13/ So we will see more protocols competing in the #CNCwar to buy and direct liquidity at cheaper price (when MC < TVL)
As obvious as it seems, it is a matter of time until @ConicFinance acquires higher TVL than $20 M
14/ So what are left until we kick off?
1. $CNC Airdrop worth about $1,000 claim for $CVX holders is due until October 4 = less $CNC sell pressure for airdrop claimers (67.5% left)

15/ 2. Conic will go live very very soon (hasn't been confirmed yet by team though)
Once @ConicFinance is ready, it's ready to earn high yield and grow demand for $CNC

16/ 3. Lastly, Audits - This was an important part that was mentioned by the @ConicFinance team as they want to finish the audit first to scale up
But it also does seem like things are moving quite fast and they are getting ready very soon
