5 Opportunities on Arbitrum Right Now

The Way of DeFi

Last September, we releasedBasic guide to Arbitrum——Arbitrum 是以太坊领先的扩展解决方案，当时它刚刚在主网上推出。

它是新上线的项目，并且令人兴奋，但在当时人们并没有什么可以操作的。你可以通过桥，使用一些领先的 DEX（去中心化交易平台），如 Uniswap、Balancer 和 Sushi，只有这样，因为那时候 Arbitrum 还处于早期。

让我们快进到今天，Arbitrum 生态系统已经迅速成长。现在所有 L2 (第二层) 中锁定超过了 60 亿美元的价值，而 Arbitrum 就代表了其中的 40 亿美元——超过 60% 的市场份额！

该网络也正在稳步接近 100 万个独立地址（仍然处于早期阶段！），如下图所示：

有了更多的流动性，更多的基础设施，以及更多的机会。在不到 9 个月后，Arbitrum 上已经拥有了一个充满活力的应用生态系统。

更低的费用就会带来更多的机会。

所以今天我们将重新审视 Arbitrum 上的最佳机会。

我很好奇，这是否会使你有资格在某天获得空投？

让我们一起来探索今天的文章吧。

Arbitrum 上的最佳机会

Arbitrum One 是目前最流行的以太坊第二层扩展解决方案，它提供一系列的 L2 冒险和最好的流动性，至少目前是这样的。

这次的 Bankless 战术涵盖了少数最热门的 Arbitrum 机会，你今天可以考虑尝试一下！

根据 L2 BEAT ‌提供的数据，目前在所有以太坊最先进的扩容方案中，有价值 67 亿美元的总价值锁定（TVL）。相应地，Arbitrum 目前近 40 亿美元的 TVL 意味着该扩展解决方案目前占到了 50% 以上的市场份额。

虽然 Arbitrum 的用户群规模与以太坊的规模相比仍然相形见绌，但 Nasen Arbitrum 的仪表板‌显示，在过去的一个月里，后起之秀 L2 托管了令人印象深刻的大约 15 万个独立活跃地址，自其成立以来托管了近 5000 万地址。作为比较，Optimism L2 在当月托管了大约 4 万个地址，到目前为止托管了超过 2400 万个地址。

关于 L2 的路线图，扩展解决方案的创造者最近宣布了 AnyTrust Chains，它将沿着 Arbitrum 运行，并提供超低价交易，以及 Arbitrum Nitro，它将优化 L2 的网络并进一步大幅降低其交易费用。

当前 Arbitrum 上的 5 大机会

下面，我整理了一些我认为目前在 Arbitrum 上对冒险者来说最引人注目的机会。

1. 通过 NFTI 获得对蓝筹 NFT 的投资机会

What you need to know:

· In February 2022, Scalara (formerly Pulse) disclosed the Scalara NFT index ‌ (NFTI) methodology. Within days, the method was used to launch the index through the index-tracking protocol Kuiper.

· NFTI offers potential returns on floor price performance for top NFT collections. Specifically, the index acts as an automatic weighted basket for the Xtokens of NFT liquidity protocol NFTX. In addition, NFTX's inventory pledge program provides NFTI holders with additional benefits unrelated to NFT's price performance.

· Initially, NFTI tracked the CryptoPunks, CrypToadz, Chromie Squiggles, Cool Cats, Doodles, Meebits, and World of Women series. Investors can now use a single ERC20 to gain exposure to these blue-chip NFT projects at any budget. By contrast, investing in these NFT collections by simultaneously paying their full floor price is now equivalent to paying out hundreds of ETH's.

· 此前，绝大多数蓝筹 NFT 的流动性都只存在于以太坊上，所以 NFTI 在 Arbitrum 上的到来使得人们有史以来第一次享受到围绕一些最大的 NFT 项目的快速和廉价的二级交易。

How do I access NFTI

1. If you have not charged ETH to your Arbitrum wallet, then charge ETH to your wallet as gas fee first.

2. Then proceed to the ETH-NFTI pool in Uniswap V3's Arbitrrum deployment ‌.

3. Use the "Swap" user interface, enter the number of NFTI you want to trade, and then complete the trade with your wallet. Watch out for high slip!

4. You have NFTI, you can hold NFTI long term when you are bullish and want access to its collection, or you can sell through the same Uniswap V3 pool when you are ready to take your money out.

2. 用 Yearn 的 L2 Curve Tricrypto 金库进行投资

What you need to know:

· In February 2022, the team behind leading DeFi revenue aggregator Yearn announced the deployment of the protocol to Arbitrum. Notably, this deployment marks the first L2 supported by Yearn.

· The Yearn team decided to try Out Arbitrum first due to the low cost of L2, its confident TVL statistics, and its compatibility with direct top-up/withdrawal via major cryptocurrency trading platforms such as Binance and FTX.

· Yearn 在 Arbitrum 的首发产品是 Curve Tricrypto 金库。Curve 的 Tricrypto 资金池包含 WBTC、WETH 和 USDT，该资金池的储户可以将他们的流动性提供者（LP）Token 带到 Yearn 的金库，通过自动的、以 Curve 为中心的 DeFi 策略提高他们的收益。

How do I get into Curve's L2 Tricrypto vault

1. Recharge the Tricrypto pool ‌ of Curve on Arbitrum.

2. With your LP Token, go back to the Curve Tricrypto Vault page at ‌.

3. Using the "Deposit" user interface, enter the number of crvTricrypto LP tokens you want to provide.

4. 完成审批，然后进行充值交易，你已经完成了。现在，金库正在产生大约 7.4% 的年利率。

3. 在 Stargate Finance 上提供流动性

What you need to know:

· Stargate Finance is an "Omnichain" bridge protocol, the first project launched on Layer Zero ‌, an interoperable solution that makes it easy for different blockchains to communicate directly with each other.

· Stargate Finance currently supports a series of Stablecoin pools across multiple blockchains, compatible with The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). These chains include Arbitrum, Avalanche, BSC, and other blockchains.

· 通过向 Stargate Finance 的流动性池添加流动性，用户可以从通过 Stargate Finance 进行的每一笔转账中获得一小部分奖励。此外，还可以将 Stargate FinanceLP Token 进行质押，以赚取以 STG 计价的进一步奖励，STG 是该协议的原始 Token。

How can I get a mortgage from Stargate Finance's Arbitrrum

1. Add some USDC or USDT in your Arbitrum wallet for pledge.

2. Then go to the Stargate Finance Pool‌ page and connect your wallet.

3. Click on the Arbitrum USDC fund pool or Arbitrum USDT fund pool option to deposit the amount you want.

4. With your new LP Token, navigate to the Farming‌ page and click on the pledge opportunities that apply to you. Enter the number of LP tokens you want to pledge and complete the pledge transaction.

5. 你已经完成了！这就是如何加入 Arbitrum 上 Stargate Finance 挖矿的过程。注意 USDC 和 USDT 矿田目前分别提供大约 10% 和 9% 的年利率。

4. 在 GMX 上进行质押，按目前利率赚取高达 47% 的年利率

What you need to know:

· GMX is a decentralized spot and perpetual trading platform, currently online in Arbitrum and AVAX. At the heart of the agreement is a multi-asset pool through which liquidity providers can generate income from market-making and backing leveraged trades.

· The GMX Token of the same name is the local management and utility Token of the protocol. The holder can pledge the GMX and earn hosted GMX (esGMX) rewards and ETH benefits from other users' transaction fees over time.

· GMX 的另一个中心 Token GLP 是该协议的原生流动性提供者 Token。简单地说，GLP 是一个资产指数，横跨 GMX 的基础多资产池中存在的 Token，而且可以用 GLP 质押来赚取 ETH 和 esGMX 奖励。

How to obtain GMX or GLP to pledge

1. Go to the GMX purchase page ‌ and follow the instructions to get the number of GMX or GLP you want.

2. If you buy a GLP, you've already done everything because your GLP is automatically pledged at the time of purchase. You can then track your earnings or unwind your position via the GMX earnings page ‌. Note that GLP pledges now yield an annual interest rate of 47% (27% ETH + 20% esGMX).

3. For GMX pledgers, please go to the GMX Earn page and connect your wallet.

4. 然后向下滚动到 GMX 质押的用户界面，点击「质押（staking）」，用你的钱包完成交易。请记住，GMX 质押目前的年利率为 28%（ETH 的 11% + esGMX 的 17%）。

5. 通过 Vesta 流动性挖矿赚取高达 60% 的年利率

What you need to know:

· Vesta is a "zero interest" lending agreement similar to Liquity ‌.

· However, although Liquity exists on Ethereum and only supports ETH collateral, Vesta is built on Arbitrum and supports multiple collateral types, such as ETH, renBTC, gOHM and GMX.

· 该协议的原生美元挂钩 Stablecoin 是 VST，而项目的原生治理 Token 是 VSTA。为了引导 VSTA 的流动性，Vesta 团队目前正在运行一个 Arbitrum 上以 Balancer 的 ETH-VSTA 池为中心的流动性挖矿项目。因此，现在用户可以将他们池子的 LP Token 质押到 Vesta 上，以获得 42% 的 VSTA 奖励 + 17% 的 BAL 年化奖励。
