What's All The Hubbub for Hubble Protocol? [Solana]
Hubble Protocol is a financial platform building sustainable Decentralized Finance services on Solana. Hubble's core service centers around a low-interest, stablecoin borrowing mechanism. Hubble's US Dollar-pegged stablecoin, USDH, can be borrowed against a variety of assets, including ETH, BTC, and SOL. Create a KPI dashboard that shows Hubble metrics such as: daily active users, new users, mint/burn rates, different rates of instructions etc. (anything you find relevant) Show the flows of USDH, where it is being used in the Solana ecosystem, is it gaining adoption, and if so how? Hubble also recently launched Kamino Finance, Provide metrics on its growth rate and adoption so far. How is it being used?
Summary
- In this dashboard, the Hubble metrics like transactions, users, and mint or burn rates as well as different rates of instructions have been comprehensively investigated. Moreover, we have focused on USDH to see its trends in the Solana ecosystem. We also took a closer look into Kamino Finance which recently has been on Hubble (providing transactions, users, and some other metrics on its situation and growth).
- The overall trend of the daily number of transactions on Hubble protocol is decreasing from March to September 2022.

1. Introduction
1.1. What is Hubble Protocol?
Hubble is a DeFi protocol built on Solana. Its stablecoin, USDH, is able to be borrowed against a user’s assets, providing more liquidity in their long-term holdings. HBB is Hubble’s governance token which can be staked and will become the protocol’s governance token when it transitions to be a DAO.
1.2. How does Hubble work?
Hubble’s features sit neatly under one dApp, where users can deposit assets in return for USDH, stake HBB (Hubble’s native token), and more. All a user needs is a Solana wallet, SOL for gas fees, and the supported tokens to use as collateral for borrowing. Currently, Hubble supports the depositing of SOL, ETH, FTT, BTC, RAY, SRM, and mSOL for use as collateral.
1.3. Hubble’s borrowing protocol
Hubble allows users that have locked tokens in Hubble’s vaults to take loans of up to 80% of their collateral value. Giving users ultimate flexibility, Hubble allows these debts to be paid off whenever, only charging borrowers a one time 0.5% fee of the loan issued. The platform also gives users a powerful economic incentive to keep their tokens locked up and use Hubble to borrow USDH, as a user’s collateral can also keep upside as well as earn yield. What’s more, users may be able to opt to have collateral allocated to partner protocols in order to earn yield in the near future. With this borrowing model Hubble provides users a smooth entry and exit for yield farming.
1.4. USDH
USDH, a Solana-native stablecoin on Hubble’s protocol, is an overcollateralized stablecoin pegged to USD. The overcollateralization consists of a diverse collection of assets including SOL, mSOL (Solana’s liquidity token), BTC, ETC, etc. In order to get USDH, a user must deposit crypto on the Hubble platform. Depositing Hubble’s supported cryptos, like SOL, BTC, ETH, RAY and others allows one to mint USDH for use. Once a user has USDH, they can stake it in Hubble’s USDH Vault in order to earn rewards. They can also deposit it in other protocols that pay yield for stablecoins. Currently, USDH holders can use platforms such as Mercurial, Saber, and Crema to earn yield. Users can also deposit USDH in Hubble’s Stability Vault in order to earn HBB, Hubble’s native token. [] [] []



1.5. Kamino Finance
Kamino Finance has set a mission to become the ultimate liquidity destination for Solana ($SOL). The project aims to revolutionize the way liquidity providers (LPs) can provide concentrated liquidity by making it as easy as pressing a button. Kamino Finance is an automated market-making solution built on DEXs powered by concentrated liquidity. The protocol optimizes CLMM liquidity by leveraging the superior speed and cost of Solana to rebalance positions and auto-compound fees plus rewards on behalf of users. As an automated product guided by quantitative analysis and modeling, Kamino seeks to provide users with a market-making tool that requires little to no expertise for participation. LPs can “set it and forget it” to maximize their earned fees and minimize IL when providing liquidity via Kamino. It is worth mentioning that Hubble Protocol, home of the USDH stablecoin, has launched Kamino Finance: the first concentrated liquidity market maker (CLMM) optimizer of its kind on the Solana blockchain.

Aim of this Analysis:
In this dashboard, the Hubble metrics like transactions, users, and mint or burn rates as well as different rates of instructions have been comprehensively investigated. Moreover, we have focused on USDH to see its trends in the Solana ecosystem. We also took a closer look into Kamino Finance which recently has been on Hubble (providing transactions, users, and some other metrics on its situation and growth.)
This chart shows the number of transfer transactions of the Hubble protocol for different stablecoins.
- As far as the transfer transactions on Solana are concerned, the top 5 stablecoins are as follows:
-
USDC (about 865B)
-
USDT (about 18B)
-
UXD (about 1M)
-
USDH (about 911K)
-
PAI (about 140K)
It can be concluded that USDH (which is one of the native stablecoins in Hubble protocol) is one of the most important stablecoins in Hubble protocol as far as the transfer transactions are concerned.
-
These charts show the variation in Kamino program transactions and users.
- As can be observed from the daily variation chart as well as the cumulative one, the Kamino program attracted the attention of users since September 2022.
- Max number of Kamino program transactions is recorded on 21, 22, and 23 September 2022 as 137.5K, 214K, and 103K, respectively,
- The total number of Kamino program transactions is about 1.6M.
-
The left chart shows the variation of Kamino program transactions according to their type. It can be seen that the number of mint transactions (about 3.5K) is about three times the number of burn transactions (1.3K)
-
The right chart shows the distribution of mint transactions on the Kamino program for different tokens. It can be seen that kUSDH-USDC (794, 24%), kSOL-stSOL (755, 23%), and kUSH-USDC (368, 11.2%) are top three. It is worth mentioning that kSOL-USDH placed 8th among the other tokens (169, 5.14%)
