Sustainable On-Chain Yield with rhino.fi & Index Coop
As we near the Shanghai upgrade, icETH is proving to be popular on L2 multichain DeFi aggregator, rhino.fi. The platform is now the #9 holder of the product that boats a TVL of over $20 million.
Last week, Index Coop growth contributor Crews sat down with Euclid from Euclid to discuss the rise of L2s and sustainable sources of yield in DeFi.
The Shanghai Upgrade & Index Coop Products
The Shanghai upgrade is a set of modifications to the Ethereum protocol that, for the first time, allows users to unstake or withdraw their staked ether (ETH). The Shanghai upgrade consists of four Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), with EIP-4895 being the most prominent.
EIP-4895 enables users to withdraw or "unstake" their ETH, which supports Ethereum's proof-of-stake "Beacon Chain." Although approximately $33 billion worth of staked ETH could be withdrawn and sold after the upgrade, a Shanghai-triggered ETH sell-off is unlikely.
Instead, a successful upgrade is expected to encourage more ETH staking, enhancing the network's stability and growth. The Shanghai upgrade and a second hard fork called Capella will impact Index Coop and its products by reducing risk and improving safety, especially for icETH.
