The Gem Rush Is Back w/ Asymmetry Finance and Cryptovestor

Asymmetry is a protocol that offers higher yield options for liquid staking tokens, primarily using the convex ecosystem. The Gem Rush is an opportunity for users to qualify for an airdrop by minting high yield staking tokens. The protocol aims to provide real yield in DeFi and plans to allow users to customize their convex exposure and add leverage. Asymmetry is in talks with liquid funds and institutional players for potential collaborations. The protocol also plans to introduce veASF, which will distribute protocol revenue to token holders in ETH. The conversation covers the importance of controlling emissions and real yield in token economies, the potential fit of cvxASF on Symmetry Finances token, the benefits of structured products and stable coins, the different generational perspectives on crypto, the shift from thinking in dollar terms to ETH terms, the potential of Protocol FX and rUSD launch, the scalability and revenue potential of Protocol FX, and the partnership with EtherFi and future LRTs. The conversation also touches on gem boosts for the llama community, where to find Asymmetry and Protocol FX, and the upcoming products and launches.
