- Brahma wraps up the year. Presenting to you a 2022 recapooor, below.
During the inception of this year, the contributing team made a list.
With some crisp experiential checkboxes to tick off, a list of strategies to explore and some crypto's volatility pivots to be life-jacketed for, Brahma began its year-long trail towards what was going to be DeFi's downpour of a year.
At the cost of sounding cynical, recent events this year contributed to longer seasons of bera. The primal need for security and risk management took centre stage. And Brahma recognised, optimised and evolved by the day to shelter degens of the DeFi realm under its security-clad infrastructure, with the sweet comfort of its yield and liquidity generating capacities.
Brahma reinstated, designed and devised and to this day continues assembling DeFi's security-enabled and composable capacities, together to garner concentric capital boosts via smart quant-shielded strategies.
4 vaults, 2 audit certifications and 20K karma seekooors later; We're just getting started.
2022 Recapoooor
While the market dominoed, tossed and turned, the stronghold kept the degens safe this year and generated upto 14.6% APY across strategies.
We're grateful to our 2K+ unique depositoooors and karma seeking community for the continuous support and avid feedback. Equipping our resident karma braggers with additional shill supply, here's a quick insider overview of how Brahma progressed, yielded and performed in 2022.







Planned Vs. Achieved (Dec 2022)
Tier-II TVL Scaling for Vaults:
A. TopGear Vault:
Apart from its quick 330K $FRAX fill-in, Brahma opened up Tier-II TVL requirements for the community. The next level TVL of 420K capped in less than 48 hours with further scaling plans brewing in Jan 2023. Stay tuned fellow fraximisooors.
As for the next steps for TopGear, a scaling proposal is already underway to ascertain a new credit manager for quick CA set-up and even higher deploying limits.
B. ETH Maxi DegenVault:
One of Brahma's initial degenvault strategies, ETH Maxi, undertook a refreshed look to fit with the existing vault tabs and touchpoints. With a greater insight into the vault's process and risk management layer, Tier-II TVL of 400K still has some room left for maximisooors to deploy.
Note: Additionally, 2 of 3 months of 10K karma pot distribution will be awarded in Jan 2023. All $FRAX diamond hands that plead speedy loyalty to the vault are being generously rewarded in karma points month on month.
3 of 6 months of Polygain's 10K Karma Pot distribution is WIP as well and all initial $MATIC devotees are sure to see some gains in their karma balances early January.
