We've officially crossed the big $1,000,000 mark 🥳
Can't believe the previous post was just a month ago.
Can't believe we started with just $1,000.
Can't believe we still don't have a deposit button 😂
Now, imagine when we actually put one in.
Our boring fund has grown by ~50% since we last posted 2 months ago!
$SOL prices hasn't changed much since our last post so this is purely from new deposits 🥳
Also, happy v-day everybody.
We 💙all of you!
Slightly over a year ago,
@SallyJack3books
deposited some $SOL into Elemental.
At that point,
@elementaldefi
was brand new with no track record. But Sally put his faith in us and became our largest depositor.

We may probably be THE most boring project on Solana.
Our Tidal fund opened last year on Jan 4, 2023.
It has been giving 13% APR consistently for 1 year 1 month now.
That's all there is to it.
Boring.
But we like boring.
Presenting our newest fund: Geyser
The Geyser Fund, a result of our collaboration with
@solblaze_org
, marks an advancement in Elemental's yield strategies.

Thank you
@JupiterExchange
for the upcoming airdrop. We at Elemental are excited and thankful.
It's been >1 year of constant daily swaps with Jupiter accumulating >$4m in volume.
If your consistency multiplier had no. of days swapped we're confident we'd be near the top 🤝
The market volatility is really allowing us very nice yields and I REALLY want you all to benefit. So... Fock it.
Let's raise the APRs.
By a lot. 3x in fact.
1/
Did you know you’re not reallyyyy getting the advertised yields on Elemental?
Yeah.
You’re getting MORE.
Why? Every deposit is accruing points towards our upcoming $ELE airdrop.
How much more? Well, only time will tell 🫡 But I wouldn’t fade $ELE if I were you.
Elemental just hit a new ATH for its TVL at half a million. Thank you to all our supporters!
How wild it is that 3 months ago it was sitting at ~$160k?
And how crazy was it that $SOL was trading at $21 then 🤯
Did you buy enough $SOL anon?
It's a new epoch! And new funds have been activated.
@elementaldefi
has reached a new high for our TVL: $163,388
Thank you all SO much for your support! 💙
This has all been done with manual deposits. What do you think will happen if we finally add a PROPER deposit button? 😂
Striving to further diversify our offerings, we are proud to debut our very first $ETH fund: Ether.
Utilizing wrapped $ETH, the fund offers investors the dynamism of Ethereum's ecosystem, while harnessing the cost-efficiency and high-speed capabilities of Solana.

Elementalllll 🔥🔥🔥
Haven't dropped a long post in a while, but now's the perfect time. Let’s talk market. $SOL's wild ride from $21 to $54 since Oct 1st is just the tip of the iceberg. While memecoin pumps may produce similar charts, this is a $23b market cap giant.

This is one of our wallets at
@elementaldefi
7721 MANUAL transactions on the last 30 days. It's 155 pages long😂
We challenge you to find someone with a longer history :P
Big shoutout to

As some of you may have seen from our previous announcement, we've recently joined forces with
@Robox_Fi
; marking a significant stride into the NFT lending arena—an ambition we've held onto for quite some time.

APR upgrade is here!
We felt Tidal needed a friend up there at 13% so Loam's APR will be upgraded from 7% -> 13% APR! The new APR will start in our next epoch (23 Feb 2024).
And we've included a fresh artwork for the fund as well because... why not :)

Introducing... "Geodium"! Named as a playful nod to both

@RaydiumProtocol

It's another Elemental Epoch day and boy is $SOL fired up today pushing past $78 🔥🔥🔥
Regardless of the market movements, we continue to help you stack your coin of choice - be it $SOL, $USDC, or... others soon? ;)

Our
@elementaldefi
wallets have received a total of ~$3.8k from
@PythNetwork
.
Thank you for the airdrop!
We'll make sure the money stays within
@solana
and will put them to active use!
More news to follow.
Updates:
- Extended our sheets to include Feb. We do this monthly. Did you know you can see how much cumulative yield Elemental has generated for its users? (It's quite a lot!)
- Our $bSOL fund Geyser now has a graph! Now you can track its compound + insurance fund growth.
🚀
We're delighted to announce our partnership with
@elementaldefi
to increase the liquidity of our aggregated pool!
This means Robox can grow faster, and Elemental gets a new way to generate passive yield with our pool model.
It's a new epoch! And new funds have been activated.

Risk management.
This is not a popular word in our web 3 space unfortunately. Most think the way to fortunes is going all in on a new NFT/token launch.
But you can actually make steady (and fairly high) gains without the insane risks.

GM Solana
Though Elemental is still in closed beta, we've been steadily earning yields for our depositors.
But we're going to open up to the world soon 🔥
You're still early 👀
We've got some exciting news! For the first time in Elemental's history, our Granite Fund will be increasing caps AND increasing APR 🔥🚀
With
@solana
DeFi activity steadily increasing, we are confident we can deliver higher yields to our users.
1/
In the past three epochs (15 days), our $SOL fund has seen an extraordinary rise. The Compound funds have picked up momentum, with their growth accelerating at a phenomenal pace. Simultaneously, our $USDC fund remains a stalwart performer, continually delivering consistently.
1/
Hey Elemental,
Here’s the latest update. It’s been personally very exciting recently due to a combination of Solana DeFi heating up and Elemental itself inching closer to a lot of deliverables. Let’s break it down.
1/
Those of you who are new, Elemental has an upcoming mint!
And it won't be an ordinary NFT. It's something we're calling "liquid staking NFT".
The only way to get a guaranteed mint is by depositing in our Aqueous or Granite Fund.
10th Dec Epoch Day Tally
Our $SOL and $USDC funds continue to accelerate.
Our USDC compound fund grew by $40 two epochs ago, then $45 one epoch ago, and it grew by $120 the last epoch 🤯
Insurance fund grew $6 one epoch ago, and $15 last epoch!

We've worked a longggg time for this; 11 months to be exact. These NFTs are not your ordinary NFTs.
We're calling them... liquid staking NFTs 👀
Any guesses to what they do?
[Important announcement regarding new $USDC deposits]
For those who have been with us in the early days, you would remember we started Elemental when $SOL was hovering between $15-$20. In other words, we were birthed in the thick of the bear winter.

Tagline update!
We had a little vote last week and our community overwhelmingly voted for a new tagline:
DeFi Made Simple
Our goal at Elemental is to make DeFi investing simple for everyone. No impermanent loss, true yields, no hidden fees. Simple.
Also, Merry Xmas!
For those who may not be aware,
@RaydiumProtocol
recently reduced their tick size to allow for much tighter ranges.
Their tick size has been reduced by 10x which means their old "one tick" can now be made in smaller increments of a tenth.
1/
Till date we have not published much official information about $ELE as there are a few moving parts. But there’s been much speculation so we thought we’d confirm some things that are certain.
2/
Data data data! And... some alpha 👀
Now you'll be able to see a consolidated dataset of Elemental! The amount of data is huge and pulls all the way back from November 2022, when we first converted to our fix-yield format.
Check out the update:
1/
A) The entire supply of $ELE will be minted on day 1. Mint authority will be burnt after. Supply total is TBD.
B) We want to allocate a good amount into airdrops. And we’ll be dropping the tokens to as wide of an audience as we can. Criteria TBD.

Investoooorrsssss!
We had a good run this epoch and we wanted to thank all of you by... doing a giveaway!
Not many people know about Elemental so drop a comment below on why you think Elemental is special🌟
We'll pick the best answers!
Why are we so busy with so many transactions?
And how does
@elementaldefi
deliver such competitive yields on $SOL? Most LST even with their boosted tokens are paying between 8-10%.
How are we able to give that much more?

Elegance in simplicity.

Riviera is officially on our website now!

While the market continues drift, we're still finding pockets of opportunities and printing money for our investors. Best part? They don't have to lift a finger.

✅Theory validated
✅Mainnet small capital test success
✅Attempt to break everything check
✅Mainnet medium capital test success
Next: Scale
This is how we at Elemental approach every new investment. And now has a new source of USDC revenue ;)
Can you guess where from?
D) Token mechanics. The most important and is what sets us apart: 10% of the revenue generated at Elemental will go towards deepening our LP which in turn acts as permanent liquidity. Read: This means $ELE buyback and consistent supply reduction.

Investooooorrssss,
A quick one on what's up in the markets.
On the $SOL front, it actually got pretty quiet with yields dwindling UNTIL yesterday happened. $BTC pamped and pulled everything with it. Activity has returned to DeFi and we're seeing some healthy numbers.
📈 Our insurance and compound funds continue to grow!
🎉 We had a nice bumper harvest for our $USDC this epoch, and we've allocated a good portion of it back into the compound funds! Check out the attached image for details. Exciting times ahead!
GM!
We're unveiling the mystery of Granite's final APR number and... drumroll... it will be 21% APR! Yes. 21% APR on your $USDC. Fixed. True yields. No fees.
DeFi made simple.
1/
These are stories that keep us motivated to keep running and building out Elemental further 🫡
Elemental has grown tremendously since then, but we will always remember our earliest supporters. Thank you for the trust 💙
Onward we build!
4/
Someone asked if we accepted liquid staking tokens.
Yes! We have a fund for $bSOL deposits - our Geyser fund. It gives 7% APR and additional $BLZE emissions.
Native yields + 7% + $BLZE = triple stack.
And here’s a pretty artwork of it.
We may probably be THE most boring project on Solana.
Our Tidal fund opened last year on Jan 4, 2023.
It has been giving 13% APR consistently for 1 year 1 month now.
That's all there is to it.
Boring.
But we like boring.
In preparation of a new partnership fund with
@solblaze_org
, we've started accumulating $BLZE for our Governance Fund. And we've been accumulating heavily, very rapidly 🚀
Yes, a $bSOL fund is coming your way 🥳 Details to follow soon.
4/
This is what goes on DAILY behind the scenes for just the COMPUTATION of one fund. Outside of this, there's on-chain monitoring of yield rates, critical news, arbitrage opp., and sniffing for upcoming developments.

Solana is unusable at the moment. While the chain isn't officially "down", it is pretty much dead to most normal people not operating bots.

Geodium Fund (9% APR)
The Geodium Fund marks a significant milestone for us as it represents our first-ever partnership, joining forces with Raydium.

Current available DeFi yields across the market. These fluctuate as well.
Vs...
@elementaldefi
. Our Loam and Geodium yields are not only higher, but they also don't fluctuate.
Plus... $ELE airdrop coming.
🤷
We've concluded our very first Time Deposit!
This was for 5 days and a whooping 90% APR.
Yields have been earned, funds have been returned safely to depositor wallets.
Thank you for the trust 🙏
Enjoy your gains! 🫡
Elemental: DeFi Made Simple
And... all our $SOL funds are officially filled to the brim.
The last available was our whale fund Riviera which was giving 15% APR on $SOL.
Now... we sit tight and max yield farm.
Every Elemental epoch, we diligently pay our taxes to
@player2world
. The tax amount is 5% of our yields generated at
@elementaldefi
.
These taxes eventually go towards $DEO buyback.
But... it hasn't started yet. We're ready for the machine to start it's engines 🔥
Are you? 👀
Heyo good people. We've received some new deposits recently! Here are some fund stats update:
Aqueous (SOL): Still full 😅
Granite (USDC): 5.4k > 6.4k(10k cap)
Tidal (SOL): 970 > 1000
Riviera (SOL): 2000 > 2800

NFT Gated Funds + NFT Mint
We've had some folks people ask about our gated funds + NFT mint. Since we have new faces in the crowd, I figured it would be good to share about it again.
1/
Created a new performance history sheet across our funds. At a glance, now you can see how much yield we have been generating for you! And... we have been generating quite a bit especially given our relatively small TVL (though it has been growing 🔥).
Epoch update!
We've gotten a few new eyeballs from our "Liquid Staking NFT" post. We're glad to see many DeFi experts excited for this. We are too!
Elemental hopes to bridge the NFT and DeFi space with simplicity and that's what this NFT does.

Our smart contract dev just told us that the NFT minting contract is ready.
We've worked a longggg time for this; 11 months to be exact. These NFTs are not your ordinary NFTs.
We're calling them... liquid staking NFTs 👀
Any guesses to what they do?
C) The only guaranteed to get $ELE right now is either deposit into our Elemental funds, or hold
@player2world
NFTs. We will do a future snapshot. We are also looking to include $DEO holders but TBC.
4/
Epoch Update!
We... made... a lot of money in the last 24h 👀
tl;dr It was a combination of liquid staking assets depegging for massive arbitrage opportunities and heavy trading volume due to $SOL spiking down below $10.
Did you know that Elemental has been operating since September 2022? Yes, it's been almost 10 months! And we've been delivering yields consistently daily without a break.
We've added the milestones into our new section:
A Walk Through History
1/
Updates!
End Jan till today has been rough for Solana DeFi. I mentioned I was expecting this a couple of updates ago and it indeed happened. The yields got nuked pretty hard across the board (on average -50%).
🧵👇
[ Epoch Update ]
- $SOL has gone crazy as most of you would have seen by now. Big congratulations to everyone who has been holding onto their $SOL tokens!
- We've had some crazy arbitrage opportunities because of the big spike. They should show up in the next epoch update 😉
Something WHALEY is brewing at Elemental.
Announcement coming in 2 days 👀
Hint: Do you know of projects that want a safe and simple way to earn passive income on their treasuries? 🔥

First, thank you all for your support. Our growth in Elemental would not be possible without each and every one of you!

Our $bSOL fund, has been doing very well. Mainly due to the amazing support from
@solblaze_org
.
We've been able to grow both our $BLZE governance fund as well as our compound AND insurance funds.

The bear market is generally bad for crypto. However, there’s always a silver lining and we choose to focus on that.
Elemental is able to produce stellar yields not because they are easy to find, but because they are hard.

Hey
@aeyakovenko
did you somehow get your hands on our unreleased NFT design 👀
PS this is the first time we're releasing ANY kind of sneak on our NFT.
Wait. Did we say we're releasing NFTs? 😂
No it's not a degen PFP, and yes it will have an actual purpose.
Due to the initial timing of his deposit ($SOL was near its low), and his one year duration farming yields in Elemental, the yields alone were enough to cover his entire initial deposit (in USD notional).
