Instant Unstaking for wstETH. For stSOL. For whatever your heart desires.
As we finish reticulating splines for mainnet launch of Unstake for $ampKUJI, we have a quick temp check to make
1. Which Kujira native token would you like to Unstake instantly next?
2. Which IBC token is top of your list?
3. Finally, same question for EVM and beyond

We're biased ofc but we'd agree.
Why waste 50% of the funds in the ask-side of the LST pool, when a user can just as easily directly stake with the LST provider?
A deposit into GHOST maximises the liquidity for unbonding, which is really all an LST pair provides anyway
The latest proposal (number 858) by

So wen staking? Once protocol revenue starts to become more reliable, we’ll look for $NSTK to become an alliance asset on

, facilitating revenue share and helping to secure the network. Having revenue numbers is critical to determine the right settings for the alliance
As we continue to build out , we’d like to support aspiring web3 developers and founders. Offering guidance, education and mentorship as necessary, with a view to one day take the reins of the protocol.
If this is you, please do get in touch
We’ll do this by providing a cross-chain arbitrage opportunity on the Unstake contract. Offering the staked asset at a discount to the current redemption rate, to incentivise arbitrage between the native protocol and Unstake
However, of course we don’t believe you should wait to Unstake. So our listing as an alliance asset will be dependent on the creation of an alliance LSD, from

Want to earn yield from Unstake? You now have two options.
1. Deposit to GHOST as normal, earn interest, and withdraw whenever you wish
2. Deposit to Unstake. Collect revenue from Unstaking, with potentially higher yield, but sacrifice accessibility as it may be in-use

We entered the Kujira community unknown, undoxxed, and unannounced.
With just a concept for a new protocol, we’ve seen what the Kujira community is, in its truest form.
It’s a lens through which we’ve never been able to view this community, and it’s just been incredible to see.
This truly is a thriving community for any potential builders looking to launch with.
Well, thanks to the vertically integrated stack of Team Kujira, and the magic of

We believe that this is a more scalable and capital efficient way of trading LST’s (amongst other things). We plan to to put a proxy contract in front of the LST protocol and Unstake to create an identical interface & UX to an AMM, but without needing a cent of liquidity
🛠️ v1.0.2 of the Kujira Blockchain went live at 17:29 UTC today. First of all a congratulations to our insane validator set. They got the chain upgraded and back up and running in just 4 minutes - the fastest upgrade yet!
The really interesting part of v1.0.2 is the Interchain
The result? Instant unbonding for all locked assets, across the interchain. A better UX for you, and a tight integration with GHOST, driving deposits and paying apr to lenders
@CryptoHarry_
@GoldenStaking
Imagine unlocking trading between stride, eris, quark, backbone, quicksilver etc etc etc LSTs with zero extra capital requirements, instead with all the shared depth of the Vaults in GHOST.
How? It borrows it from GHOST. The borrow is collateralised 1:1 with the unbonding transaction. You as a user simply pay the interest for the unbonding period, up front, plus a small amount more as protocol revenue. For a 2 week unbonding period, this is likely to be around 0.5%
@hedgefunder01
Airdropping a token from a new, unknown, undoxxed team and keeping a team allocation aside is not a particularly good way to build trust. We’ve been here for a while and very motivated to see Kujira thrive, so that’s the number one priority.
What does this mean? It means that if you're an LSD provider, or your token is supported by one, then you can have rock solid LSD pricing for GHOST, entirely with an affordable level of protocol owned liquidity
A core thesis of the Unstake protocol is that LSD token pairs are incredibly capital efficient. 50% of the pool - the entire ask side - can be routed directly to the underlying LSD protocol, instead of sat as dead capital in a pool
It's then Unstake's job to provide the best bid price to sellers of the LSD token, effectively covering the other side of the order book. With ampKUJI already we do this at a better rate than can be achieved in a market swap on FIN
The app is now configured to connect to Testnet only, via the excellent

@eris_protocol
(more options coming soon)
The reserves act as a guarantee against increasing GHOST borrow rates during the unbonding period. When an Unstake begins, the maximum allocation of the reserves is removed and allocated to that specific Unstake
$1 in the reserve of an Unstake contract will support $8.80 of sells at 0.2% from the protocol rate.
That same $1 of liquidity in an XYK pool will only support a $0.05 sell within 10% of the protocol rate.
What's more, liquidity is significantly cheaper to provide. Unstake taps into the native liquidity on Kujira's GHOST. The only extra needed is an allocation to the "reserve" which is at marginally higher risk, but earns its own APR.
@AirdropGlideapp
Thanks for the mention! Just for clarity - Unstake isn’t an LSD, it’s a protocol to facilitate instant unbonding of _any_ bonded tokens. stATOM, ampKUJI, Bonded Osmosis LP tokens…etc
We do this by leveraging the unique infrastructure of the Kujira blockchain - the money market GHOST, and the interchain queries & accounts for CosmWasm developers
When that Unstake completes, the difference between the offered rate, and the actual rate, is retained as a protocol fee. 50% is sent to the protocol revenue pot, and the other 50% is retained in the reserves, in order to bootstrap liquidity
When you use Unstake, the protocol borrows from GHOST during the unbonding period, and therefore must pay the interest rate to the Vault
The problem - predicting what the total interest amount will be over the course of the unbonding period
Therefore, as the contract process Unstaking, the reserve allocated 50% accrues to your deposit contribution, making the Unstake receipt token a yield generating token, just like $xUSK
So, in a world where LSD token pairs are redundant, on CLOBs and AMMs, how do we enable LSD tokens on DeFI protocols for collateral, for perps, and for anything else that needs pricing?
In Unstake v1, an initial donation was required to the reserves to begin that bootstrapping process, and was locked once deposited.
In this v2, you're now issued a receipt token - just like when you deposit to GHOST, or get LP tokens from BOW
They all have very valid reasons for introducing time-locks on these staked tokens, but for you, the user, having to wait for two or three weeks is horrible UX
It also means that during periods of high interest rates the total in-flight can increase, as the max shortfall between offered rate and max rate is smaller.
The maximum amount from unbonding is 120 ATOM. We want to offer you as close to that as possible
The absolute maximum that Unstake will have to pay GHOST is 3 weeks x 200% x 120 ATOM = 13.85 ATOM
This creates the worst-case boundary; a return of 106.15 ATOM - an 11.6% fee
@KPeruggi
@CryptoHarry_
That’s exactly it. Protocol will have certain risk parameters and reserve funds to be able to offer good rates whilst also protecting against interest rate spikes during unbonding
When the Unstake is executed, the max shortfall is committed from the reserves, and only released once the unbonding period is complete, and the actual interest confirmed. If the rate doesn’t change, the reserve isn’t used
This ensures there will always be funds to repay GHOST
@const_amit
It achieves a similar thing, but leverages GHOST for shared liquidity instead of relying on a second source of liquidity in BOW deposits. The ask side of the lsd strategy is dead capital where the contract can auto-balance by bonding. Unstake provides the bid side
This is clearly way more than is reasonable to pay
However we also know that GHOST vaults typically restore to ~60% utilization pretty quickly when they’re over-subscribed.
At a typical interest rate of 8%, the 3 week unbonding will cost 0.55 ATOM; 0.46%, much more reasonable
If Unstake makes an offer at 0.46%, and the rate increases beyond 8% during the 3 weeks, it won’t be able to repay GHOST
That’s not ideal. Neither is paying over 11% to Unstake
So it’s the job of Unstake to offer as close to 0.46% as possible, whilst remaining solvent
@const_amit

Let’s take some example numbers.
Let’s say you’re Unstaking 100 stATOM
Let’s say the protocol redemption rate to ATOM is 1.2
Let’s say the current interest rate to borrow ATOM from GHOST is 8%
Let’s say the maximum interest rate is 200%
Let’s say the unbonding period is 3 weeks
This is where the reserves kick in
In the example above, the maximum shortfall is 13.85 (max cost) - 0.55 (agreed rate) = 13.30
This Unstake will only be offered if the reserve fund is greater than the maximum shortfall.
This also means that the maximum amount of “in-flight” unbonding tokens is constrained by the size of the reserve. Therefore there will be a parameter set to charge an extra fee when rates are low, in order to increase the size of the reserve during these period of low interest
This will present as a “minimum rate” offered by the protocol. When the actual GHOST interest rate is lower, any surplus is allocated to the reserve. This also protects the protocol from abuse when rates are exceptionally low, and more likely to increase and consume the reserves
