MCD is coming! MCD is coming!
Seeking Yield by Staked - Issue 39: 👋 Goodbye CDP, Hello Vault, 📽️ Livepeer’s Public Streamflow Testnet, 📈 Binance Research: The Rise of Staking, 📊 Current Yields, & More
This is the thirty-ninth issue of Seeking Yield by Staked, a weekly update about the most interesting things happening in crypto asset staking and lending.
👋 Goodbye CDP, Hello Vault
Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD) is set to launch on November 18th - a major milestone for entire crypto industry. In addition to changes to the mechanics of the Dai stablecoin system, several changes to the system’s current terminology will be implemented.
A few noteworthy changes to the system’s terminology coming November 18th:
Collateralized debt positions (CDPs) -> Vaults
Dai generated via SCD -> Sai
Dai generated via MCD -> Dai
“Maker Vault in MCD is where a user deposits collateral and generates Dai. It is important to note that each collateral asset deposited will have its own Vault.”
The new terminology will be reflected within the user interfaces of Maker Protocol immediately upon the release of MCD, as well as in any new documentation published following launch.
MCD is coming! MCD is coming!

📽️ Livepeer’s Public Streamflow Testnet
Livepeer's Streamflow update is now live on public testnet. Infrastructure providers are now able to run nodes on the test network. Really phenomenal progress!
The test network is designed to provide infrastructure providers with knowledge of how to run nodes in the new Streamflow context, validate that the network is functioning as expected, and help troubleshoot and identify unidentified issues prior to mainnet launch. Currently, infrastructure providers are able to:
Run nodes in the new Orchestrator role (formerly known as “transcoder”)
Test that their nodes are properly transcoding video
Experiment with setting the appropriate parameters around job pricing
Accept test payments under the new probabilistic micropayment system
Set up their GPUs (in addition to CPUs) to transcode video
Thus, this is a significant advancement for Livepeer. We are proud supporters of the network and look forward to the launch of the Streamflow mainnet!

📈 Binance Research: The Rise of Staking
Binance Research recently published an excellent report on the rise of staking, which highlighted Staked multiple times. The report provides a comprehensive look at the current staking space, the differences among staking on different chains, and more.
The report goes on to describe the role of delegation services, as well as how staking service providers are rolling out other utilities and tools for blockchain users to better understand the networks they are interacting with, like the Robo-Advisor for Yield (RAY).
There are also a number of interesting statistics referenced in the research, including the cumulative staking participation rate across all blockchains offering staking (featured below).
Brilliant work from the Binance team!
