How many unique wallets have sent UST to another chain? What is the growth rate? What is the average amount of UST sent per transaction to each chain? Are there any patterns behind UST being sent to Solana using Wormhole?

Hints

👻 Aave

[Elite] Health Factors

Bounty: up to 7.2 AAVE

Calculate stats around health factor per collateral type and/or loan.

• How many users are allowed to borrow of each and what makes for good collateral?

• Look into ongoing and past governance votes to see how it affect the above value 

• Can you help determine if a coin should really not be used for a loan or vice versa

[Elite] Risk Parameters

Bounty: up to 7.2 AAVE

Review the documentation at the link below, then find specific governance actions that modified some parameter. What effect did that have?

(For example: One was governance action made UST worthless as collateral -- did that make some users go insolvent? How many users had it as collateral? How many went insolvent afterwards?)

⚡ THORChain

[Elite] THORSwap Airdrop

Bounty: up to 181.81 RUNE

What did users do with the airdropped THOR tokens? Did they swap/hodl/LP? Were there any predictors of behavior (e.g. did those that got them from the THORStarter IDO more likely to swap? or were those that were active on THORSwap for a longer time more likely to hodl/LP?)

View Bounty

[Elite] Network Shutdown

Bounty: up to 181.81 RUNE

THORChain was halted from 11/12 - 11/17 and re-started on 11/18. What behavior has been seen since the network re-started? Are people removing liquidity and / or swapping their RUNE for other tokens? How does this flow of activity compare to the days before the network halt? Are there commonalities among the users pulling out of the ecosystem (e.g. have they only recently been involved with THORChain? Do they hold any $THOR / $XRUNE / $VRUNE)?

🏆Bounty Submission of the Week 🏆

Welcome back to our Bounty Submission of the Week!

In this week’s edition, we’re taking a closer look at THORChain liquidity pool data with some help from this submission from @mintingfarms dives deep into THORChain pools, exploring the TVL and swap volume of various pools on the platform. 

As we can see in the graph above, TVL has reached new heights in recent weeks, with TVL for the most popular pools peaking at more than $80 million. The BTC-BTC pool led the way, even after falling to $68.9 million at the time of analysts. That’s more than $20 million more in TVL than the next largest pool — ETH-X_RUNE at $45.9 million.

Swap volumes, meanwhile have been more variable, with a notable gap arising between late-July and mid-September due in part to the downtime for the protocol. In November, however, as @mintingfarms points out, “volume spiked up to $50 million and reached a new high.”
