STEP ONE : Acquisition of Thena.fi

Vanguard is proposing for Venus to make the strategic acquisition of 33% of Thena.fi, with the goal of establishing The DeFi SuperApp on the BNB Chain. After several months of negotiations with Thena’s leadership, Vanguard’s leadership has reached an agreement on a purchase price of $4.5 million dollars.

This acquisition represents a pivotal move for Venus, significantly strengthening both protocols’ positions within the rapidly evolving DeFi ecosystem, particularly on the BNB Chain. By leveraging Thena’s modular liquidity layer and advanced decentralized exchange (DEX) infrastructure, Venus gains access to enhanced liquidity, while promoting its native stablecoin (VAI) and token (XVS) through high-priority incentivized pools.

The partnership also opens the door to a variety of synergistic opportunities, including unique yield strategies, DAO-to-DAO governance collaboration, and the development of cutting-edge DeFi solutions, such as integrated lending and leveraged yield farming. In an increasingly competitive DeFi landscape, this acquisition not only expands Venus’ ecosystem and user base but also cements its position as a key infrastructure player within the BNB Chain ecosystem.

This acquisition is not only strategic but also transformative, positioning Venus at the forefront of DeFi innovation. This partnership solidifies Venus’ role as a central infrastructure provider, enhances its market competitiveness, and unlocks significant value for its users and stakeholders. As the DeFi landscape continues to evolve, this acquisition ensures that Venus remains a dominant force, driving long-term growth and establishing a solid foundation for future success.

This acquisition includes a range of valuable assets that will significantly contribute to Venus revenue streams. These assets include 33% of the current Thena Treasury assets:

• veTHE holdings: 3.68 million veTHE, valued at approximately $3 million.
• NFT Portfolio: 170 NFTs, collectively worth $500,000, which represent around 1% of the fees generated by Thena’s decentralized exchange (DEX).
• Liquidity Reserves: 1.6 million USDT, ensuring robust liquidity for the protocol.
• $THE Emissions: A 2.5% share of the weekly $THE emissions, equating to 25,000 $THE per week.
• Fee Revenues: A 12% stake in the fees generated by non-staked positions, further bolstering ongoing revenue potential.

Together, these assets provide a strong foundation for consistent, long-term revenue generation, enhancing Venus DAO’s financial position and supporting its strategic objectives within the DeFi ecosystem.

Thena.fi Post acquisition Strategic Business Value

1. Liquidity Depth and Incentivized Markets

Venus relies on liquidity for efficient borrowing and lending, while THENA excels as a modular liquidity layer. THENA can become Venus’ primary DEX for sourcing and scaling liquidity for their markets.

• Venus could deposit part of their treasury funds into THENA’s liquidity pools, ensuring deeper liquidity for their assets while earning yields.
• THENA could boost Venus’ native assets (like XVS and VAI) in high-priority incentivized pools. By incentivizing these pools, both protocols ensure robust liquidity, making VAI more attractive as a stablecoin and XVS more accessible for traders.

2. Stablecoin (VAI) Adoption Through THENA’s Ecosystem

VAI, Venus’ stablecoin, benefits from adoption in DeFi ecosystems, while THENA’s platform can thrive by integrating VAI as a key asset in its liquidity pools and trading pairs.

• Create VAI-focused liquidity pairs (e.g., VAI/BNB, VAI/USDT, VAI/THENA) on THENA’s AMM, incentivizing trading activity and boosting VAI adoption.

3. Enhanced Yield Opportunities for Venus and THENA Users

Venus users who deposit assets into the protocol can benefit from leveraging these assets in THENA’s AMM or other DeFi tools.

• THENA’s liquidity providers could stake their LP tokens as collateral on Venus to unlock borrowing/lending opportunities, creating a two-way flow between protocols.
• THENA’s limit orders on their AMM can be staked on Venus to provide liquidity while earning extra yields.

4. Strategic DAO-to-DAO Collaboration

Both Venus DAO and THENA govern their ecosystems. By working closely at the DAO level, the partnership ensures alignment on long-term goals and the flexibility to launch joint initiatives.

• Venus DAO’s acquisition would result in the acquisition of 1.11M veTHE which could be used to secure voting power to direct incentives toward their native assets (e.g., XVS, VAI).
• Jointly launch co-governance proposals that align liquidity incentives, stablecoin adoption, and ecosystem growth.
• Use Venus’ DAO tools to promote participation in THENA’s governance, creating a united front across the BNB Chain ecosystem.

5. Shared User Base and Ecosystem Growth

Both protocols target a similar audience of DeFi users on BNB Chain, making cross-promotion an effective way to increase user adoption.

• Cross-promote features like Venus lending and THENA trading via marketing campaigns, educational content, and referral programs to onboard users to both platforms.
• Collaborate on launch events (e.g., co-branded trading competitions or liquidity mining campaigns) to increase user engagement.
• Introduce NFTs or badges tied to ecosystem participation (e.g., for using both Venus and THENA), creating gamification opportunities that reward loyal users.

6. DEFI Launchpad Initiative:

By combining THENA’s upcoming Launchpad (WARP) and its advanced liquidity management expertise with Venus’ deep connections in lending and borrowing markets, both protocols will establish a DeFi-focused Launchpad as the go-to platform for new projects wanting to be listed on Thena and Venus. .

• Fundraising for DeFi Projects: Jointly launch DeFi-focused fundraising initiatives under the Launchpads, attracting projects that align with the trading and lending verticals.
• Liquidity Strategies and Management: Offer a comprehensive suite of liquidity tools for projects post-launch. THENA’s AMM can ensure trading market depth, while Venus can offer lending/borrowing infrastructure to drive ecosystem-wide utility for project tokens.
• Ecosystem Connectivity: Promote projects launching through the DeFi Launchpad within both THENA’s trading ecosystem and Venus’ lending market. For example:
  • Tokens from Launchpad projects can be integrated as collateral on Venus, immediately giving them utility in lending markets.
  • THENA could offer exclusive liquidity pools for these tokens, incentivizing trading volume through ARENA and creating liquidity depth.
• Revenue Sharing: Introduce revenue-sharing models for both protocols, generating passive income for Venus and THENA from project fundraising, trading fees, and lending interests.
• Use VAI in Launchpad: Require participating projects to allocate a portion of their fundraising or liquidity in VAI, boosting stablecoin adoption and adding utility.

7. Dominating Market Share on BNB Chain

By combining their liquidity (THENA) and lending capabilities (Venus), both protocols can dominate their respective niches and attract new users and protocols to the BNB Chain ecosystem.

• Jointly promote the narrative of a “BNB Chain SuperApp” featuring world-class trading (THENA) and lending (Venus).
• Launch exclusive partnerships with other protocols on BNB Chain, leveraging both ecosystems’ reach to onboard new projects, assets, and users.

8. Direct Integration of Venus Product Suite into THENA’s ve(3,3) Model with Hooks

THENA’s upcoming ve(3,3) hooks enable sophisticated liquidity management and additional yield strategies. Integrating Venus’ lending and borrowing capabilities into THENA’s liquidity pools allows users to maximize capital efficiency and access advanced DeFi strategies directly through THENA.

A.) Limit Orders via Single-Sided Liquidity on THENA

THENA’s ve(3,3) model with hooks can allow users to provide single-sided liquidity on THENA AMM pools while routing the unused liquidity to Venus as collateral. For example:

• A user providing single-sided liquidity (e.g., in BNB) could earn trading fees from the AMM and simultaneously generate additional yield by depositing the BNB into Venus’ lending market.
• This allows THENA users to execute limit orders or deploy idle liquidity without sacrificing earning potential.

B.) Idle Liquidity Optimization

Idle liquidity sitting on THENA (from traders or liquidity providers) could be programmatically routed to Venus:

• Example Use Case: Liquidity providers who stake in THENA pools could have their idle capital automatically deposited into Venus, generating additional interest or rewards until the liquidity is actively used in the AMM.
• This creates a dual-yield scenario, combining DEX trading fees with lending interest on Venus.

C.) Pseudo Delta-Neutral Strategies

Delta-neutral strategies are possible through seamless integration between Venus and THENA. Users could:

• Deposit collateral (e.g., BNB, ETH) on Venus to borrow stablecoins like VAI.
• Use the borrowed stablecoins to provide liquidity in a VAI/BNB pool on THENA, earning trading fees while maintaining a hedged position.
• THENA’s ve(3,3) hooks could automate the management of such strategies, making them accessible to a broader user base without requiring complex manual steps.

D.) Leveraged Yield Farming via Isolated Pools

Leveraged yield farming strategies become possible by leveraging THENA’s LP tokens as collateral on Venus:

• Users could provide liquidity on THENA and receive LP tokens in return.
• Those LP tokens could then be deposited into isolated pools on Venus as collateral, allowing users to borrow assets to increase their farming positions.
• Example: A user provides BNB/USDT liquidity on THENA, deposits the LP tokens on Venus, borrows additional BNB or USDT, and repeats the process to maximize farming rewards.
• The isolated pool model ensures the risk of over-leverage is limited to specific LP tokens, protecting Venus’ protocol-wide liquidity.

9. Unlocking New Strategies and User Flows

The combination of THENA’s ve(3,3) modular liquidity layer and Venus’ lending infrastructure creates powerful user flows that unlock unique DeFi opportunities, including:

• Capital Efficiency for Traders:
  • Traders can leverage Venus’ lending infrastructure to take positions directly on THENA by borrowing assets (e.g., USDT or BNB) and providing liquidity on THENA.
  • The ability to earn both trading fees and lending interest significantly improves capital efficiency compared to standalone trading or lending strategies.
• Improved Liquidity Utilization:
  • THENA’s liquidity pools become yield-optimized, as hooks automatically route idle or unutilized liquidity into Venus to generate lending yield.
  • This improves overall capital efficiency for liquidity providers on THENA.
• Cross-Protocol Yield Strategies:
  • THENA could support one-click strategies (e.g., delta-neutral yield farming or leveraged farming) that integrate Venus’ lending and borrowing capabilities directly within the THENA app, simplifying access for retail users.
• Boosting Demand for VAI:
  • The integration creates natural demand for VAI, as users adopt stablecoin-based strategies (e.g., borrowing VAI on Venus to provide liquidity on THENA’s AMM).
  • THENA could launch VAI-focused pools and incentivize them to drive usage and adoption.

10. Competitive Differentiation and Market Leadership

• Unique Offering: The ability to combine modular liquidity management (THENA’s ve(3,3)) with lending markets (Venus) creates a DeFi experience not currently offered by most other protocols on BNB Chain.
• User Acquisition: By promoting these unique strategies, THENA and Venus can attract both sophisticated DeFi users and new entrants looking for simplified access to yield and leverage strategies.
• Ecosystem Leadership: Together, Venus and THENA position themselves as core infrastructure for DeFi on BNB Chain, driving innovation and creating stickiness in their respective ecosystems.

STEP TWO : Venus PRIME v2

The existing Venus Prime model has certain limitations that may discourage user participation, primarily due to extended waiting periods before receiving Prime benefits. To enhance the user experience and encourage engagement, we propose implementing the following improvements in Prime V2.

Objective: Reduce Venus Prime status waiting time, conditionally to a user having a minimum amount of TVL Staked and borrowed on Venus.

Step 1: We are proposing the following changes to be made to waiting period

• A minimum of 1000 XVS Staked + $50K or less in combined TVL = 90 Days
• A minimum of 1500 XVS Staked + $51K to $250K combined TVL = 60 Days
• A minimum of 2000 XVS Staked + $251K to $3M combined TVL = 30 Days
• A minimum of 5000 XVS Staked + $3M in combined TVL = No Wait

The minimum XVS holding requirement should be reviewed quarterly to account for price fluctuations, ensuring a consistent dollar value for Prime status eligibility.

Step 2:

Venus Prime status would become transferable. Users wishing to move their Prime benefits to another chain could burn their status on the source chain and instantly mint it on the destination chain, provided there are available Prime spots and they meet the requirements.

Additionally, we are proposing for users to have the ability to transfer their PRIME statuses between their own wallets and for the possibility to create a secondary market for Prime where users could sell their Prime status for a fee which would be allocated to the Venus Treasury.

[Danny]

STEP THREE : Proposed Venus Tokenomics review

We propose the following changes to how revenues from interest rate reserves and other sources are allocated in the updated Venus Protocol Tokenomics.

Revenue Allocation Breakdown:

• Risk Fund: 20%
• Venus Prime: 20%
• XVS Buybacks (Vault Rewards): 20%
• Treasury: 40%

Liquidation Fee Allocation:

• Risk Fund: 20%
• XVS Vault Rewards: 20%
• Treasury: 60%

Strategic XVS Reserve Initiative:

We propose the establishment of a strategic XVS reserve across all chains using funds allocated to the Venus Treasury. This reserve will serve as a vital component of Venus Real-World Asset (RWA) initiatives. It could also be leveraged as collateral within Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs) to mint stablecoins and provide liquidity for various RWA investment projects, thereby generating additional revenue for the DAO.

Building the Strategic XVS Reserve:

To build this reserve we are implementing ongoing buybacks, that unlike current buybacks (XVS Vault) do not release XVS back into the market. The following revenue streams will be directed towards it:

1. XVS Liquidations: 50% of the treasury revenue generated from XVS liquidations will be allocated to the strategic reserve.
2. Reallocation of Unclaimed Rewards: XVS rewards that remain unclaimed in dormant or inactive accounts for 180 days will be reallocated to the strategic reserve.
3. VAI Minting: When protocol fees are generated from VAI minting, 25% of the minting fees will be used for XVS buybacks to further bolster the strategic reserve.

Immediate Action - $1M XVS Buyback:

To jumpstart the building of the strategic XVS reserve, we recommend Venus proceeds to an immediate buyback of $1 million worth of XVS tokens, which method will be later determined. This initial purchase will help rapidly establish the reserve and signal a strong commitment to the long-term growth and stability of the protocol.

This proposal aims to strengthen the protocol’s long-term sustainability, increase liquidity, and create additional revenue streams to support Venus growth and innovation. The immediate buyback will provide a solid foundation for future reserve-building initiatives and enhance the protocol’s overall resilience.

STEP FOUR: Enfineo’s issuance of Venus/Thena branded Crypto Debit Cards

Enfineo is a next-generation financial ecosystem that integrates traditional banking with cryptocurrency management. It offers a user-friendly app that allows users to manage multiple fiat accounts and cryptocurrencies in one place, providing top-tier security and instant transfers.

The launch of Venus/Thena Crypto Debit Cards and a mobile payment app in collaboration with Enfineo is a crucial step forward in driving the growth and global recognition of the Venus ecosystem. This initiative will bridge the gap between the DeFi world and traditional finance by allowing users to seamlessly spend their XVS, VAI, and other cryptocurrencies in the real world, just like any fiat currency. The introduction of a prepaid debit card and mobile payment app will make it easier for millions of users to interact with the Venus ecosystem, paving the way for broader adoption of XVS and other assets across retail, online, and international markets.

[Danny]

STEP SIX: Immediate creation and Funding of the Venus foundation.

Problem 1: Venus was initially launched as a Fair Launch project, which meant we couldn’t establish a strategic reserve to support long-term protocol development, ecosystem growth and strategic investments.

Problem 2: Emissions are an unsustainable incentivization model that hinders token adoption and does not create long term growth.

We propose allocating 8 million XVS tokens with long-term locking to the Venus Foundation to significantly reduce reliance on emissions and instead be used across the following strategic areas to build long-term value:

• Collateral for Real-World Asset (RWA) Investments: This would allow Venus to expand into off-chain asset-backed opportunities, driving adoption and increasing platform utility.

• Over-the-Counter (OTC) Investment Deals: Engaging with institutional partners through direct investment to foster growth, drive adoption, and attract liquidity and net new loans.

• Facilitating long term protocol development: Ensure stable and continuous research & development at pace with industry innovation to keep up with competition.

Additionally, these funds could be utilized to:

• Support Development of New Partnerships: Securing collaborations with high-profile institutions and DeFi projects will boost the Venus ecosystem’s credibility and user base.

• Support XVS utilization: A strategic reserve could be used to support the market value of XVS, increasing investor confidence and encouraging long-term holding.

This multi-faceted approach will help ensure the Venus ecosystem’s continued growth, increase the utility of XVS, and ultimately drive a sustainable rise in its value.

[Danny]

STEP SEVEN : RWA initiatives

Launching Real World Asset (RWA) initiatives utilizing VAI stablecoin to support these initiatives represents a significant opportunity for Venus to diversify its offerings and enhance its long-term sustainability. Some compelling reasons why this strategy would benefit Venus, as well as the opportunities and potential new revenue streams it could create:

1. Expansion into Tangible Asset Backing

By launching its RWA initiatives, Venus can expand beyond the purely digital and DeFi ecosystem into the world of traditional finance. Real-world assets, such as real estate, commodities, sovereign and corporate debt are long-established, tangible assets that could be tokenized and integrated into Venus’ decentralized platform. This not only diversifies the types of assets supported but also creates opportunities for greater stability and more diversified revenue streams.

2. Increased Demand for VAI Stablecoin

Using the VAI stablecoin to facilitate RWA transactions creates direct utility for VAI within the Venus ecosystem. RWA-backed lending, collateralization, and trading will likely generate significant demand for VAI as a stable, trusted medium of exchange. The more RWAs are incorporated, the greater the usage of VAI, increasing the demand for the stablecoin and reinforcing its position within the broader DeFi space.

3. New Revenue Streams

Partnering with institutions to open up multiple potential revenue channels, such as:

• Tokenization Fees: By teaming-up with partners offering RWA tokenization services, Venus can generate fees from the process of converting traditional assets into digital tokens. These fees could range from asset evaluation, legal structuring, and token issuance, creating a steady revenue stream.
• Interest on RWA-backed Loans: As RWAs are tokenized and used as collateral for lending accessing Venus liquidity, Venus can earn interest on loans backed by these physical or financial assets. This adds a new layer of income that is less reliant on the volatility of purely crypto assets.
• RWA Investment Products: Venus could also introduce new investment products (such as RWA-backed yield farming or liquidity pools) that generate returns for both investors and the platform itself, creating further monetization opportunities.

4. Increased Platform Liquidity

Integrating RWAs into the Venus ecosystem could vastly increase platform liquidity. These real-world assets are often much larger in value compared to typical crypto collateral, thus creating an influx of new liquidity into the system. This liquidity can be used to support the issuance of more VAI stablecoins, which in turn can be deployed for further investments, lending, and yield-generating activities.

5. Attracting Traditional Financial Institutions

By embracing RWAs, Venus can position itself as an innovative bridge between traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi). This would likely attract traditional financial institutions, such as banks, asset managers, and insurance companies that are interested in the efficiencies, transparency, and returns that DeFi can offer. Partnering with these institutions could generate new revenue opportunities through institutional services, such as providing DeFi liquidity to hedge against traditional market risks or issuing tokenized versions of their own assets.

6. Enhanced Stability and Risk Diversification

RWA-backed initiatives bring stability to the Venus ecosystem by tying the value of digital assets to real-world entities. This diversification can help mitigate the risks associated with pure cryptocurrency volatility. Having more stable assets on the platform will make it more attractive to risk-averse users, thus broadening Venus’s user base and providing a more sustainable growth model over time.

7. New Cross-Platform Opportunities

Venus can also explore cross-platform collaborations, particularly with other DeFi protocols and traditional finance providers, by using tokenized RWAs as collateral or liquidity. These types of integrations could open up entirely new market opportunities that hadn’t been previously accessible to Venus. For example, partnerships with supply chain companies could introduce tokenized invoices or receivables into the ecosystem, offering further ways to generate revenue from previously untapped markets.

In Summary:

The launch of a dedicated RWA division offers Venus a transformative opportunity to expand its ecosystem by embracing real-world assets and leveraging VAI to facilitate these initiatives. This expansion opens up multiple new revenue streams, including tokenization fees, interest from RWA-backed loans, transaction fees from asset trading, new investment products, and increased liquidity. Moreover, by integrating traditional finance into the DeFi space, Venus can attract new institutional investors, enhance its platform’s stability, and solidify its position as a leader in both the DeFi and traditional finance worlds.

[Danny]

STEP 8: Permissioned Venus platform

Deploying a permissioned Venus platform for venture capitalists (VCs) can provide several key benefits that would enhance both the growth of the Venus ecosystem and its credibility within the broader financial landscape. Here’s why this move would be strategic:

1. Access to Strategic Capital: Venture capitalists often bring more than just funding—they also bring valuable strategic partnerships, industry expertise, and access to a network of institutional investors. A permissioned platform would facilitate direct collaboration with reputable VCs, allowing Venus to attract capital from trusted sources, accelerating growth and innovation.

2. Institutional Confidence and Adoption: By offering a permissioned environment, Venus can meet the rigorous security and regulatory standards that institutional investors, like VCs, often require. This would significantly increase confidence in the platform, encouraging more VCs to participate in funding and utilizing Venus, which could lead to larger investments and adoption.

3. Tailored Investment Opportunities: With a permissioned platform, Venus can create bespoke investment opportunities for VCs, such as early access to new features or tokenized assets, allowing for strategic collaborations that align with both Venus’s goals and the VCs’ interests. This can foster long-term relationships that help drive innovation within the Venus ecosystem.

4. Mitigating Risks: A permissioned platform ensures that only vetted and trusted investors are involved, helping to mitigate the risks of bad actors or malicious intent. This controlled access enhances security and reduces the possibility of market manipulation, which could be detrimental to the ecosystem’s reputation and long-term viability.

5. Regulatory Compliance: A permissioned platform allows Venus to meet regulatory requirements that may be necessary for attracting institutional investors. By creating a controlled and compliant environment, Venus can stay ahead of regulatory challenges and provide a trusted space for VCs to invest without the concerns of non-compliance.

6. Positive Market Perception: Finally, deploying a permissioned platform demonstrates to the broader market that Venus is serious about scaling sustainably and responsibly. It shows that Venus is building strong relationships with trusted financial institutions, which can help increase credibility and support the long-term success of the XVS token.

In essence, a permissioned Venus platform creates a secure, trusted, and compliant environment that attracts the right investors and fosters institutional relationships, which are key to scaling the Venus ecosystem and enhancing its reputation in the DeFi and traditional finance sectors.

Conclusion

Venus is set to redefine the DeFi landscape through calculated acquisitions, ecosystem expansions, and institutional-grade financial infrastructure. This proposal ensures Venus long-term sustainability, reinforcing its leadership within the global DeFi landscape and the BNB Chain ecosystem.

[Debbie]

I am a big fan of the pre V5 proposal. I love all these proposals as it presents a strong and forward-thinking plan for Venus, focusing on strategic growth, improved tokenomics, and real-world use cases to stay ahead in DeFi.

[crazyman61]

An incredibly well-prepared and comprehensive V5—everything is included! Buyback, Venus Prime, credit card, RWA, Venus Foundation… Structuring all of this is a huge achievement.

Congratulations, Danny, and kudos to the team! I can’t wait for it to go live as soon as possible.

[NoOneVII]

Many new developments that have been studied very well and have been chosen to truly set the trends for the future.
Congratulations and invite everyone to experience the excitement​:blue_heart:

[SuperCycleXVS]

Wow V5 is absolutely a beast!
Well done guys!
#WAGMI

[Gregor]

Love to see the buyback.

Except that RWA and Permissioned Venus Platform are really big steps towards institutional money.

In addition the profits which we can get from Thena/Singu and Enfineo can be awesome!

[boristheblade]

Would be awesome if we could transfer Prime token from one address to another in the same network.

[JucoPablo]

Looks promising. Aniways I think that a more strong focus on XVS is needed to grow and sustain MC. Strategic reserve is too discrete. Seems that holding thena is more attractive than holding XVS. By the way, loved the enfineo partnership and the RWA inniciative.

[Tomm]

Let’s party! Let’s embrace Venus V5 now! I love Venus V5 a lot

[Ayhanturan]

Giving 8 million xvs to the foundation means sales pressure and casts a shadow over the good work done.

[DomVSPM]

All of these steps make perfect sense and are designed to propel Venus and XVS to an entirely new level. Each decision has been carefully thought out to strengthen the ecosystem, drive growth, and enhance the project’s long-term sustainability. I firmly believe in this direction and fully support these steps! Together we will make Venus stronger than ever before!
