DeFi 2.0: Predictable capital formation for real economic activities
System Upgrade: @SupernovaLabs_ is now:
RatesDotExchange
Two Things.
> Our vision is much bigger. Interest rates have been a solid first step, @Rates_Exchange_ is much bigger than just Interest Rate. FX, Equity Perps, Compute, and markets unknown today
> Hyper capital efficiency. $3m in liquidity enables $1B in fixed rate borrowing. $20m in liquidity can migrate the entire Aave book to fixed rate
Our internal goal is to migrate 90% of Aave book to fixed rate in the next 6 months
As of this morning, you can borrow USDT against BTC and ETH at 0.37% APY from this aave market, with $35M capacity at 3% APY
On top of Aave security, a major CEX is backstopping the risk involved, despite the risk being minimal
DM to borrow here at fixed rate
For those who shorted aave borrow rates, congratulations on the 42.2% return in 12 hours @SupernovaLabs_
Shorts not only profited but more importantly helped the market discovered the price of interest and express confidence in aave's solvency and liquidity
Congrats to @aave and @StaniKulechov for resolving the illiquidity issue with grace and strong leadership
DeFi will thrive.

trading demand is strong amid market turmoil
Amid USDC/T borrow rate at 15%+ APR, we are helping btc/eth hedge funds, miners, looping whales on hedging and trading interest rates
Please reach out for price quotes.
“A lot of the looping (trades) blew up,” says @nicoypei. “They want to get out or unwind their position, because right now their position is losing money. But the problem is that they can’t right now.”

Over the past weekend, multiple hedge funds and institutional borrowers that previously viewed borrow-rate hedging as non-essential returned to request pricing and execution quotes.
Moments like these make our value proposition clear. Supernova was built for periods of
48 hrs Risk Update: Market Volatility Following the rsETH Incident
Over the past 48 hours, on-chain money markets have experienced significant dislocation following the rsETH incident. Utilization across major stablecoin borrow markets, including USDC, USDT, and USDe, rapidly moved toward 100%, with available withdrawal liquidity materially constrained and borrow rates rising above 15% APR.
Events like these are precisely the scenarios for which resilient market infrastructure must be designed.
As of April 20th 3:30pm EST, Supernova remains fully solvent and operating normally. Across the platform, all core systems have continued to perform as intended under stressed conditions, including:
> Liquidation and margin enforcement systems
> Foreclosure and recovery mechanisms
> vAMM pricing infrastructure
> Central limit order book execution
> Vault accounting and collateral management
> Internal market making and hedging systems
At this time, we have observed no material losses to the protocol.
This market event represents a meaningful real-world stress test of our risk architecture. Extreme volatility and liquidity compression are not theoretical inputs. They are expected operating conditions for serious financial infrastructure. Our systems were built accordingly.
We continue to monitor all markets closely, maintain conservative risk controls, and adjust parameters where appropriate. While broader conditions remain dynamic, the platform has performed as designed through what would reasonably be considered a multi-standard-deviation market shock.
ya at this point im only seeing demand for cedefi solutions with legal recourse and fixed rates ideally as well
hence i been shilling @kamino_liq upcoming cedefi product and @SupernovaLabs_ fixed rates
i lowkey doubled down on ethena a few years back post euler hack because custodians are optimal in many ways

Floating borrow rate is simply too volatile for large-size borrowers to size up on-chain
For serious borrowers, the cost of capital shall always be predictable
Use Supernova to get fixed rate loans from Aave
If you talk with the right ppl in crypto it's blatantly obvious who have distribution power and who don't
VC retweeting ur launch post is not distribution
Our cap table is built very meticulously with a strong focus on distribution channels

The Cefi * Defi DNA is baked into the design of our logo
Supernova brings rates predictability to Defi and unlock institutional adoptions, starting with interest rate swap.
Our asterisk-inspired logo draws inspirations from its role in math as the convolution operator, f∗g , a way of combining two functions such that the output reflects how one shape transforms across another.
It’s not a simple merge, but a structured interaction where each retains its identity while producing a new, richer result.
In the same way, we sit between DeFi and CeFi as the connective layer: not collapsing them into one system, but enabling them to interact in a precise, programmable way.
Each arm of the symbol represents a different domain, on-chain and off-chain, crypto-native and institutional, intersecting at a shared center where capital and liquidity flow through defined pathways, creating outcomes neither side could achieve alone.
There's only a few centers for distributions in crypto that can get your product in front of 11-12 digits of capital or centi-million users:
Qualified custodians
Prime brokerages
Top hardware wallets
Top hot wallets
Centralized exchanges
Top multi-sigs
