Application Profile

1. What is your motivation for submitting this application?

We want to expand agEUR on Solana so that it becomes the go-to EUR stablecoin on the network. A stablecoins and lending markets are great match for each other, and we think this would be a good integration for both Angle and Jet.

2. What is your association to the proposed asset?

Part of Angle core team.

3. What are the key benefits to the Jet Protocol for onboarding the asset?

Adding agEUR as collateral on Jet Protocol would allow Jet to add a robust and valuable stablecoin to their protocol. Additionnally, this would make it the first EUR-pegged stablecoin on Jet, opening the market to all European users.

4. What are the known limitations of the asset?

Currently, agEUR cannot be minted on Solana, but liquidity is easily bridged through the Wormhole.

Project Profile

1. Please provide a brief, high-level description of the asset’s native ecosystem (project), including protocol’s type (peer-to-peer/ peer-to-liquidity/ etc.).

Angle is a decentralized, capital-efficient, and over-collateralized stablecoin protocol.

It is based on two set of smart contracts:

  • the Core module allowing users to mint and burn stablecoins at a 1:1 rate, while having the protocol reserves hedged by traders through leverage long margined positions.
  • the Borrowing module, allowing users to borrow agEUR on top of tokens deposited as collateral.

Angle started by issuing agEUR, a EUR-pegged stablecoin, and plan to expand to other stablecoins when the time comes.
Since launch in early November, agEUR has been the most traded EUR stablecoin on-chain (Ethereum), with more than $1B volume.

2. Who are the founding members? What is their current involvement with the project?

Sogipec, Picodes, and gs8nrv are the three co-founders, and they are all still fully involved within the project.

3. Please indicate the ICO date, initial price and valuation of the token and total capital raised (in USD and crypto terms).

There was no ICO with agEUR.

4. How much of the capital raised via the ICO was converted into FIAT (in terms of FIAT currency and amount of tokens)?

None.

5. What was the way of issuing and distributing the tokens? Were there pre-ICO investors?

agEUR are issued in two ways:

  1. They can be minted at a 1:1 rate (minus fees) through Angle Core module.
  2. They can be borrowed from crypto tokens deposited as collateral from Angle Borrowing module.

6. What is the current token distribution (project team vs. investors vs. public)?

No agEUR were minted for investors or the team.

7. Are there any fees generated by the protocol? If yes, please provide details and amounts.

Angle generated ~$8.3M in revenue from txs fees and strategies interest since launch in November 2021. This figure can be checked in our analytics.

Thank you for submitting the $agEUR asset onboarding application @tutacrypto appreciate the Angle team!

Jet community - would love discourse around this application. agEUR is an over-collateralized stablecoin. Liquidity is a little low on Solana however risk for liquidation seems low since it is an over-collateralized asset. Would love to see how we move forward with this asset application.

I heard the Spaces with the Angle team, and feel that a Euro stablecoin would be beneficial for JET. Great application and an exciting team. I think alexis is right about the low liquidity, but perhaps there is a solution via caps on total amount of $agEUR allowed on JET?

@Bob! Welcome to the Jet Forum. Glad to have you here giving your input. We appreciate all the love on Twitter.

With Jet V2 - collateral weights and leverage parameters will provide improved risk mitigation and will permit Jet to list new, more niche asset types like agEUR without increasing risk.

We share a similar sentiment to Alexis. As it is an over-collateralized asset we are less worried however we are intrigued by your yield strategies and where you deploy your capital?

I am indeed concerned about low and declining liquidity. Even if you consider Euro losing its power against USD, it’s a steep decline in marketcap.

Hey @tutacrypto!

Thank you for taking the time to complete and submit this application.

The JetDAO Governance Committee has reviewed the application and found that a hard requirement of $agEUR having a Pyth oracle could not be met.

Given that Jet Protocol only uses the Pyth network for price oracles, we would encourage you to re-apply once $agEUR is able to secure a Pyth oracle.

If you have any questions in the meantime please feel free to post them here and we can continue the discussion!

Thank you,

Adam

Thanks for your feedback @adamdelsol! We’re meeting with the Pyth network team pretty soon to figure out how we’ll be able to get an oracle with them and pass the requirements to be listed on Pyth!

Great to have been able to do the process still and looking forward to have agEUR on Jet at some point, even with highly conservative parameters!

Please do let us know once the requirement has been met. The JetDAO community and governance committee will be happy to review the application again.
