Cross-chain Anchor

    Question: Compare the Earn sides of Anchor protocol on Terra vs. Avalanche. What does the Earn side look like on Avalanche? In the last week, are people using it more? Is there more volume?

    First let's look at the deposits made on Terra vs the deposits made on Avalanche in a linear fashion...

    What we can see, is that the volume on Avalanche has slowly decreased, with the exception of today where there is another local maximum spike of deposits.

    Next let's look at these in a logarithmic fashion...

    What this one shows us, is that for Terra there still is a continuous inflow of capital in the deposit product over time and it hasn't really stagnated yet. On the other hand for the Avalanche earn deposits, we can see that the deposits on earn have (since the launch), slowly stagnated and decreased.

    This could be for a number of reasons

    • People are afraid of using wormhole assets, especially after the hack.
    • People want to use native assets in general.
    • People do not know this is an available place to park their stables on Avalanche
    • People not trusting Anchor because they do not know the Terra ecosystem very well
