It’s on, Farmers! Beanstalk is Unpaused!

Beanstalk Unpaused on August 6, marking the one year anniversary of its initial deployment. If you couldn’t make the event, here is a link to the Unpause Twitter Spaces.

BIP-22 and BIP-23, the Q3 budget proposals for Beanstalk Farms and Bean Sprout, respectively, have both passed. Beanstalk Farms plans to use their budget to retain, grow and support a group of core contributors. Bean Sprout plans to use their budget to seed, grow and support various Beanstalk-related integrations, projects and initiatives.

Protocol Summary

Beanstalk Unpaused with the price of Bean at $1.07 and a ramped up deltaB minting schedule of 1% per Season for the first 100 Seasons. The ramp up period, along with demand for Beans, led the price of Bean to peak at $1.16 and then settle down back to $1.00. Beanstalk Unpaused with ~$28M in liquidity. Shortly after Unpause, Beanstalk attracted ~$10M of liquidity for a total of ~$38M, followed by an exit of ~$7.7M as of 8/16.

Beanstalk managed the sell-off through its credit facility, the Field, and Conversions within the Silo. The Field continued to attract strong demand for Soil, issuing ~80M Pods at a high Pod Rate, further underscoring Beanstalk’s strong credit.

The strong demand for Soil is reflected in the Temperature which has continued on a downward trend since Unpause.
