yHaaS Network

• Automation of yearn V3 vaults across Mainnet, Arbitrum, Polygon, Optimism, Base, and Gnosis Chain: Milestone of 10,000+ tx automated with yHaaS Network.

• Massive increase in transactions this quarter with more debt allocations over more strategies than ever before. Number of txs this quarter larger than all previous quarters combined!

Transactions of Mainnet yHaaS Network growing fast (y-axis: #txs)

• Gas costs in line with increased transactions combined with higher average base fee competition this quarter.
  
  Gas cost of Mainnet yHaaS Network (yaxis: Ξ)

• Gas cost for automation this quarter: ~$7,616 (Ξ2.35) per month.

  • Comparison to Gelato costs for same activity: ~$20,651 (Ξ6.38) per month.
  • yHaaS Network achieved gas savings of ~$13,026 (Ξ4.03) per month through calldata optimization, day cycle optimzation, and fee savings.
  • Additionally, we would be spending an additional $18k per month on a Gelato subscription for our 320M+ on-chain calls per month.
  • Efficient gas savings of yHaaS Network is crucial to profitability of yield optimization for yearn.

• SmartFlow: Minimize idle funds by smartly ordering and batching debt allocations within yearn V3 vaults.

  • Estimation: Achieved a yield boost of ~$150k/year for users by reducing idle funds.

Liquidity Services

• ~2.5M USD value of rewards swapped, +650 tx sent, selling rewards from ETH, GC and ARB.
• Use of Cowswap twaps for large volumes of low liquidity assets.
• As a lesson learned from the poor quote received for CRV-DOLA, a new control was established with an external oracle for 1inch quotes used on manual trades (~250k volume/50 transactions this quarter)
• Modulation of thresholds in line with gas prices
