Where is The Pot of Gold?
What % of the bAsset market cap for bLUNA and bETH is locked as collateral on Anchor? Show where else bLUNA/bETH is being held, and explain why you think this is.
Method
This dashboard takes a dive into bAsset market cap for bLUNA and bETH that is locked as collateral on Anchor.
I present an approach in my investigation where I determine:
-
deposit(lock_collateral) and withdraw(unlock_collateral) amounts on Anchor
-
net locked collateral amounts on Anchor: deposit - withdraw
-
daily average price of bAssets by using terra.oracle_prices table
-
market cap of bAssets that are locked on Anchor: net locked collateral amounts×average price
-
bond and unbond amount of bLUNA
-
total amounts(supply) of bLUNA: mint(bond)-burn(unbond)
-
market cap of bAssets: total supply×average price
-

Introduction
The Anchor protocol defines a money market between a lender, looking to earn stable yields on their stablecoins, and a borrower, looking to borrow stablecoins on stakeable assets. To borrow stablecoins, the borrower locks up Bonded Assets (bAssets) as collateral, and borrows stablecoins below the protocol-defined borrowing ratio. The diversified stream of staking rewards accruing to the global pool of collateral then gets converted to stablecoin, and then conferred to the lender in the form of a stable yield.
so Anchor is structured to provide depositors with:
- High, stable deposit yields powered by rewards of bAsset collaterals
- Instant withdrawals through pooled lending of stablecoin deposits
- Principal protection via liquidation of loans in risk of undercollateralization
About Bonded Assets (bAssets)
bAssets are liquid, tokenized representations of staked (bonded) assets in a PoS blockchain. They allow stakers to gain liquidity over their staked assets, enabling the locked value in staked assets to be utilized in financial applications such as Anchor.
bAsset tokens are an entitlement of the underlying staked asset position, where staking rewards are distributed to its holders.
This linear graph shows daily mint and burn amounts of bLUNA; also it shows daily amounts of bLUNA that are locked and unlocked as collateral on Anchor.
The growth of total bonded LUNA and collateral amount of bLUNA which is on Anchor, are shown in the above area chart.
In the next chart, by use of the daily USD price of bLUNA, we are going to determine daily changes of marketCap.
With an overview of the extraterrestrial website transactions and finding sample transactions, we see that the rest of bLuna is held in the following cases:
- nexus vault
- Kujira pool
In the next chart, by use of the daily USD price of bETH, we are going to determine daily changes of collateral marketcap of bETH
95% of the bAsset market cap for bETH is locked as collateral on Anchor
so, what about the rest 5%? With an overview of the extraterrestrial website transactions and finding sample transactions, it seems some of bEth is on nexus vault and kuji pool.
The growth of collateral amount of bETH which is on Anchor is shown in the above area chart.
