Fictional borders of the \"Holy Russian Empire\"
So for the past month or so, I have stumbled upon couple of videos about this so called "Holy Russian Empire", which it appears to be a fictional country that existed in mid-20th century in the Hearts of Iron 4 game universe mod that someone made. Now of course, it's all just fictional alternative universe lore thingy that people are getting obsessed for no reason. I think the concerning issue I have is, of all Soviet/Russian controlled states there been, why does this "Holy Russian Empire" show complete borders of modern-day Kazakhstan under its control while every other sovereign territory that was conquered in our timeline is excluded in this "fictional universe"? Again, I don't understand the logical reason behind this weirdly popular fandom because to me, it just programs everyone to subconsciously view us "Russian" rather than Kazakh. As far as this whole "loyalty to Russia" goes would be realistically if this fictional country was portrayed as federation or democratic state where all ethnic minorities had greater autonomy (ex. Alash Autonomy), but this is literally portraying an Imperial neo-Russia that of all lands it has its grip specifically on KAZAKHSTAN ONLY while countries in southern Central Asia, Ukraine, Belarus, Caucasus, Baltics or Finland get to freely remain as "independent" in the map. In the end, we're basically being fictionally portrayed as powerless, defeated, colonized slaves to some fictional Russian monarchy for no realistic historical basis in the pop culture.
Why is that specifically would it be in this unrealistically historical lore? Is it because we're big and close to Russia geographically? Or there's some resentment towards Kazakhstan by person or group of developers that designed this HOI4 mod about "Holy Russian Empire"? Now I may be overreacting or acting "paranoid" here, but in these times where you have modern-day chauvinists and politicians endorsing imperial fashions in invading lands, seeing this whole "Holy Russian Empire" thingy pop constantly doesn't make things any better...

With xLaunchpad around the corner and @HatomProtocol being officially the upcoming launch it's time to learn more about it.
A deep dive thread into the project aimed to improve your research before investing.
Let's get into it 👇 🧵

Hatom Protocol - A Deep Dive Thread
Here's the breakdown of what I'm going to cover in this thread :
🅐. Project Overview
🅑. Hatom Building Blocks
🅒. ESDT
Before we start with this thread, please don't rely only on my thread to do your research.
I've created this so you can have a better understanding of the project, but it's not an endorsement to buy into it.
Always create your own thesis!
​
🅐. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄
The first question will always be: " What the hell is this project all about?"
@HatomProtocol is an incredible combination of different building blocks that aims to empower #MultiversX ecosystem.
At the base, Hatom is a liquidity protocol.
Two of the most important elements of @HatomProtocol will be the decentralized lending market and liquid staking module.
Those two features aim to radically change the way we are using #MultiversX.
It can be seen as a combination of Lido and Aave.
@HatomProtocol act as a decentralized bank and will offer liquid staking advantages to users on #MultiversX.
It aims to resolve the lack of #DeFi products on this chain and increase the overall liquidity.
It is no surprise that #MultiversX needs a suite of products to ignite the long-awaited DeFi era.
With a place where users can borrow funds and also get liquidity while securing the network, @HatomProtocol seems to have immense potential.
​
Let's delve into its modules 👇
​
🅑. 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀
This will be divided into three parts :
1️⃣. Lending Protocol = decentralized lending protocol
2️⃣. Liquid Staking = liquidity for staked $EGLD
3️⃣. Hatom Mush = isolated lending protocol.
​
1️⃣. 𝗟𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹
The lending protocol is the first building block of the @HatomProtocol ecosystem.
You can think about this module as a decentralized bank.
How is it working?
https://preview.redd.it/a4xmig35n55b1.png?width=680&format=png&auto=webp&s=8c6566f30af5de6c1b9f0d426a36ac00b4427dd8
he lending protocol relies on two parties to work :
➡ Lender = provides liquidity by supplying tokens to a pool of assets;
➡ Borrower =borrow liquidity by taking these tokens from that same pool.
Why would someone supply its tokens to the lending protocol?
This process works exactly line in the real life with the banks.
A bank customer will deposit money into a saving account that is paying a certain APR.
The bank then uses the funds to accrue a higher return on that sum than what they are paying to the customer.
With @HatomProtocol, the lender will receive rewards from the borrowers.
The APR is not fixed and it all depends on the utilization rate of the funds.
It's an easy process to gain more rewards on your crypto bags without providing liquidity and having impermanent loss risk.
On the other hand, a borrower will need to deposit the assets into the lending protocol and activate them as collateral.
Once they do that, the collateral can be used to get a loan, based on a certain loan-to-value which depends on the asset criteria.
Here's an example 👇
​
https://preview.redd.it/abn7thv8n55b1.png?width=679&format=png&auto=webp&s=d423f24c216fd6d03409bc91bb4d8653beac6699
I would really encourage you to read the following thread for a better understanding of the lending protocol.
Once you read that, let's continue with the second building block.

2️⃣. 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴
Proof of stake blockchains relies on stakers to increase the security of the network.
On #MultiversX, network security is achieved by staking $EGLD with one of the validators that are running nodes on the chain.
​
https://preview.redd.it/863ybskln55b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=be6ac59125dc0b93f6ad6d71785e2238e6fa6173
The main problem of traditional staking is illiquidity.
Once you delegate your tokens to a validator, they are locked up for a certain period of time.
During this time, you cannot sell or trade your tokens, which means your assets are illiquid.
@HatomProtocol aims to resolve this issue by creating the liquid staking module.
Users will be able to stake their $EGLD directly into the dApp and receive a receipt token called $sEGLD ( staked $EGLD ).
$sEGLD is a liquid asset and can be used in other protocols while earning rewards from staking.
In liquid staking, stakers don't receive additional $sEGLD over time.
Instead, the value of their existing $sEGLD increases algorithmically based on the liquid staking APY.
The lending protocol and liquid staking module will work very close together.
The fees earned by the project from the liquid staking will be used to bootstrap organically the money markets of the lending protocol.
There will be no inflation of the HTM token to incentivize users
Liquid staking is the new hot narrative in DeFi and will have a humongous impact on the ecosystem liquidity.
By holding liquid-staked assets, users can use their capital more efficiently.

​
3️⃣. 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗵
Mush will be an isolated lending protocol that will allow whitelisted projects to create their own lending pools, separated from @HatomProtocol ones.
​
https://preview.redd.it/hxbnwdzwn55b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=3118fbb12d3bb0399ec5c25c3980a898c426d59a
What's interesting about isolated lending pools?
🛡️ Risk Management
In shared lending pools, a single asset's value drop can impact the whole pool. In isolated pools, such a drop only affects that specific pool's participants.
​
🛠️ Customization
Each pool can have its own interest rates, collateral requirements, and other parameters, which can be tailored to the specific characteristics of the asset or pair of assets in the pool.
​
🎯 Asset Specificity
Isolated lending pools enable users to lend and borrow less liquid or volatile assets, which might be too risky for shared pools.
​
🔄 Greater Choice for Users
With isolated lending pools, users can choose to participate in the pools that best match their risk tolerance and investment strategy.
They can opt for pools with more stable, well-established assets, or they can choose pools with volatile assets.
@HatomProtocol will generate revenue from the set-up fees of each isolated lending protocol and from a percentage of their revenues.
A portion of the revenues generated will be transferred to the staking module and distributed to $HTM token stakers.
​
🅒. 𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗧
In this part of the thread, I'll be covering all types of tokens you will interact with on @HatomProtocol such as :
1️⃣. HTokens
2️⃣. Liquid Staking Tokens
3️⃣. Hatom USD
4️⃣. Synthetic Tokens
Let's dive straight into it 🤿
​
1️⃣. 𝗛𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀
To put it simply, HTokens are interest-bearing tokens.
This means that these tokens are designed to accrue interest over time, with the interest rate typically correlated to the supply APY from the lending protocol.
​
https://preview.redd.it/ndoqs8hcr55b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=0326aafb9aa429a7b5b9a1c549ddbe2ded9497c9
Users that choose to deposit their tokens into the lending protocol will receive these HTokens as a receipt.
As an example, if you want to lend $EGLD you will receive $HEGLD.
For $MEX you will receive $HMEX.
And so on.
Let's discuss some of HTokens utilities :
🛡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹
Htokens can be used as collateral for borrowing in the lending protocol, thus providing liquidity to the user while they still earn interest on their deposits.
​
🌾 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀
These tokens can be utilized in yield farming strategies or in vaults that automatically employ such strategies.
This can potentially provide users with an additional layer of returns on their holdings.
​
🔄 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆
Htokens can be traded on established decentralized exchanges, providing users with liquidity and the opportunity to earn from trading gains.
​
💵 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴
You can also use HTokens to mint algorithmic stablecoins, such as HatomUSD ( $USH ), providing a further utility and potential source of yield for Htoken holders.
​
2️⃣. 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀
@HatomProtocol will bring to life more derivatives of $EGLD token.
Let's discuss them all and find out what's their role.
​
https://preview.redd.it/br03o6eor55b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=902e247955b8edf65e21630886dd967b072b6727
➡ $𝘀𝗘𝗚𝗟𝗗
It's a reward-bearing version of $EGLD that is received when staking tokens into the liquid staking module.
The value of $sEGLD accrues interest following the liquid staking APY, which means that $sEGLD equals $EGLD plus the staking rewards accumulated.
In a concept akin to HTokens, the quantity of $sEGLD in the wallet won't increase.
However, the exchange rate will progressively rise in line with the liquid staking rewards that the position accumulates over time.
​
➡ $𝗛𝘀𝗘𝗚𝗟𝗗
This is the token that you will receive when providing $sEGLD to the lending protocol.
This reward-bearing version of $EGLD will not only receive the staking rewards but also the rewards from the lending protocol.
If you are looking to increase the rewards even further, $HsEGLD can be activated as collateral and earn additional rewards.
Must be noted that once it's activated as collateral, it will be sent from your wallet to @HatomProtocol and you can't use it anymore.
​
➡ $𝘅𝗘𝗚𝗟𝗗
Well, here is where the fun stuff begins.
$xEGLD is a leveraged liquid staking position that can earn up to 3 times more rewards than normal staking.
But how is this even possible and what are the risks?
Before I even start talking about it, it's mandatory to say that the @HatomProtocol team managed to create quite a unique concept similar to flashloans, called trusted loans.
These trusted loans offer the possibility to create or break $xEGLD without relying on a third party.
I won't get into the process behind the trusted loans as this probably needs a thread on its own.
​
Let's discover how $xEGLD is actually built to achieve that incredible APY 👇
Everything starts with the user depositing $EGLD to be converted into $xEGLD.
The smart contract is calculating the total position that can be built with that amount.
It then proceeds to take a trusted loan of X $EGLD and then stake it to receive $sEGLD.
The $sEGLD received will then be deposited into the lending protocol, activated as collateral and a loan will be taken against it.
The loan will then be used to pay the trusted loan of X $EGLD that was borrowed to build this position.
In essence, $xEGLD is a looped version of $sEGLD by depositing $sEGLD, taking a loan of $EGLD, staking it into a staking module, doing this over and over again.
It saves a lot of time, fees, and hassle by automating it.
All the liquid staking tokens will have their own pools on @ash_swap and can be used in other DeFi strategies to increase the yield.
You can also pass the cooldown period by selling your $sEGLD, $HsEGLD, or $xEGLD on DEXes.
Here's another way to by-pass the cooldown period :

I also talked about liquid staking tokens a few months ago.
You can find the in-depth thread about it here: 👇
[email protected]
https://preview.redd.it/mwnrsmlpv55b1.png?width=495&format=png&auto=webp&s=71ca71f341e559dd9c4623fc843262abc9096632
As you can clearly see, liquid staking tokens will open a gate to new liquidity.
The freedom to use them in other DeFi protocols to earn more yield it's absolutely mind-blowing.
Now let's move further and let's talk about Hatom USD.
​
3️⃣. 𝗛𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗨𝗦𝗗 ( $𝗨𝗦𝗛 )
$USH will be the first decentralized over-collateralized stablecoin on #MultiversX.
It will be a native token minted directly on the chain with no bridge involved.
It can be minted with HTokens through isolated lending pools.
​
https://preview.redd.it/gcqjiy6yv55b1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=a96a59801edb4fff9c4dfc647e4bdf75f6c16532
The amount of $USH that you can mint and take as a borrow depends on the value of the collateral you deposited and its loan-to-value factor.
You will still earn interest on the Htokens you provided as collateral as their value accrues over time.
What utilities lie behind $USH?
🚀 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗽 𝗟𝗣𝘀
$USH can significantly bootstrap liquidity providers on the #MultiversX ecosystem.
​
🏁𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴
It adds more competition to the stablecoin borrowing market, potentially leading to better rates and terms for borrowers.
​
🛡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹
$USH can be used as collateral to borrow from the lending protocol, providing additional liquidity while earning interest.
​
🌾 𝗬𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀
$USH can be shaped into structured products to earn more yields.
Lending protocols, farms, and vaults are the go-to places if you want to earn interest using your $USH.
$USH it's designed to be a powerful product of @HatomProtocol.
It will be minted using HTokens activated as collateral into the lending protocol.
$USH will be used in different LPs with the goal to bootstrap the liquidity across the chain.
$USH will come with some interesting features such as staking to receive $sUSH that can be used in different DeFi applications.
As with trusted loans, this is a subject that requires a thread on its own and I will have them as quickly as possible once the overview is done.
As it doesn't rely on any bridges, there are fewer risks associated with it.
The interest accrued from $USH minters will be directed to the @HatomProtocol treasury.
$USH minted by borrowers will be burned when it's sent back and the loan is paid.
​
4️⃣. 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝘀
Synthetic tokens are designed to simulate the value of another asset.
They maintain a 1:1 peg with their underlying asset, offering a way for that asset to be used on blockchains where it isn't natively supported.

Synthetic assets are often created by locking up collateral in a smart contract.
Typically, the collateral backing synthetic assets are over-collateralized, meaning its value exceeds that of the synthetic asset.
This surplus is essential for maintaining the asset's value.
On #MultiversX, synthetic tokens are bridged through AdAstra Portal, designed with security at its forefront.
In the future, you will be able to bridge assets such as $ETH, $BTC, $DAI, and many more to #MultiversX, opening the door to other DeFi opportunities.
Why would we need synthetic assets?
🌊𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆
They have the potential to bring greater liquidity to #MultiversX.
💰 𝗟𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝘀
With very low transaction fees, #MultiversX is the perfect place to use those assets in different strategies.
​
🛡️ 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹
They can be used as collateral to borrow from the lending protocol.
This could create some nice opportunities for people bullish on other assets than $EGLD.
​
It's time to conclude the first part of this thread.
I'm sure this was helpful in learning the most important modules of the protocol.
In part two we will get a glimpse into the tokenomics, team, other features, and the potential future of this project.
@HatomProtocol is without any doubt a very complex project and will act as a liquidity hub on #MultiversX.
With a sophisticated user interface, yet very simple to use, and the necessary products to gain traction, I'm sure that it will be a great success.
And once again, never rely only on the information from this thread.
Make sure you do your own research and you know why you are investing in the project.
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for part two!

If your agency is making between $10-30k per month, you’re sitting on an absolute goldmine and you have no idea.
After running my agency for 4 years, delivering over $100M worth of value to my clients, and generating 8 figures in total revenue, I’ve realized that any agency can be a massive business with the right mechanisms in place.
When I began building my agency in 2018, it was a good business for me and my partner.
It put food on the table, and we were able to help to grow other businesses that we were passionate about.
We didn’t realize at the time that the only thing keeping us at the mid-6-figure per year mark was our own mental blockages.
Just about any agency can be an 8-figure a year endeavor, especially if you do it the way that we’ve done it.
Most agency owners in the $10-30k per month range operate within a freelancer mindset.
You struggle with hiring, you struggle with building processes, and you struggle with scaling.
You do not have a demand problem.
For every agency, there are at least 500 potential clients with a problem that your agency can solve, and they’re willing to pay good money for you to do so.
With the right offer, 100-200 clients will be enough for you to have an 8-figure a year company that will sell for a multiple that could be in the range of 6-12X.
This course consists of 10 modules with text and video, plus 3 bonus modules that outline everything you need to know about:

• Building systems for scaling fast
• How to diversify your lead generation to never have an empty pipeline again
• Assembling a team of people who care about your company’s vision as much as you
• Remaining profitable as you scale
• Avoiding mistakes at the intermediate and advanced levels with your business
• The steps you need to take to sell your agency for 8+ figures

As long as you have an offer that’s proven to work in an industry that’s likely to continue to exist in 10 years, you have a multi-million dollar opportunity at your fingertips.
At the $10-30k a month level with an agency, you’re currently working harder than you will be at $100k a month.
The good news is, you’re only a few months away from hitting that target profitably if you do exactly what I outline in this course.
After thousands of mistakes in the building process, I know exactly what I’d do if I had to start from zero.
If you’re just starting, you have the opportunity to build everything right and avoid 90% of the mistakes that we made in the early days.
Instead of taking 4 years to scale to ~8 figures like my team and I did, you could potentially do it in half the time.
Before you buy, you need to understand this.
This course will work for any agency in the digital space, but it is not for beginners.
This is not to show you how to land your first client and find your niche.
This will only work if you have at least 2-4 clients and you already understand your offer.
My strategies for client acquisition, client retention, offer structure, team building, and systems will only work if you already have the foundations in place.
If you’re above $60k a year but below $1M a year, this will work for you.
Inside, I also share information about my agency that I’ve never shared before.
I do a deep dive into everything that’s allowed us to scale from high-6-figures in 2019 to high-7-figures in 2021.
Everything from the way you need to think about things, to the way you need to execute things.
I leave nothing out of this.
If you’re ready to scale your agency from $10-30k a month up to 6 figures a month, click below to get access to everything you’ll ever need today.
