Just Doubled up My CUB

avatar

A few days ago I made a swap for one crypto into BNB however the transaction was super delayed and finally today it's cleared!

What does that mean?

I could finally stock up on CUB.

I guess in a way I should be thankful because the day I was going to make the trade CUB was over $3 each. Currently it's sitting at $2.786 with a TVL of 19.1 million.

What Did I Get?

I'm sure some of you are wondering what I ended up doing and I though long and hard about it myself. I big part of me wants to lock it in a farm under CUB-BUSD LP for those sweet big gains of nearly 300% APR right now. However I ended up simply just buying as much CUB as possible with the BNB I had and harvesting the 45 or so CUB that's been building up over time.

I then ended up tossing all of it into the CUB den which is now earning me even more CUB.

Depending on how the markets go in the crypto world this weekend (I'm expecting a sell off on ETHEREUM) I'll most likely pick up more but instead this time add it into the CUB-BNBUSD farm to provide more liquidity to the platform.

LEO Bridge

It's been announced that Leo Bridge will be coming SOON. Soon in dev language means anywhere between a few days to a month or two at least in my experience haha. However it should actually be soon I'm expecting it some time this week and it's going to be HUGE.

What is the Leo Bridge you ask?

To put it the simplest way possible it allows conversion of ERC-20 Tokens from Ethereum to BEP-20 tokens.

Why is this so great?

Ethereum fees are massive. Talking $20 upwards of $50 on more transactions that take place. This has locked in a lot of funds within DeFI that people most likely don't want to move because of the fees they will have to pay. However Binance fees are about $0.15 to $0.60 depending no network demand. Still a little high in my book but clear as night and day as to what one most people would use.

This cute little graphic sums it up as well...

Just wondering, what is the general is the general gas fee limit you set? I think setting it to 5 would be the best for fees but you are not guaranteed for it to process. How do you process things to lower the fees as much as possible while compounding and harvesting?

Set to 5 and transactions are quick haven't had any issues. Fees are MUCH lower than what they where before.

I pretty much leave it for a month right now before harvesting and rebuilding. Depending on the price. If CUB falls under $3 I pick up more. To me if things get running smoothly with demand we should be looking at about $10 per CUB.

Yeah, I have a bunch of funds stuck right now in Ethereum hell. I'm trying to convert USDC to WLEO and I don't have enough ETH to pay the gas fees. So I go to convert USDC to ETH so I have some gas, but I don't have enough ETH to convert USDC to ETH to pay to convert USDC to ETH to convert USDC to WLEO ...

What insanity!

Such a mess, for sure these fees are holding up a lot of projects and adoption so hopefully we get there soon!

I would like to believe that with the implementation of ETH 2.0, transaction prices will drop significantly.

It really is crazy to see the mess that can happen on ETH with such high fees.

Well, I've learned my lesson. Always up the gas fees to the "fast" recommendation, because if a transaction gets 'stuck' there's no way to move forward with a new transaction until that one either succeeds, fails, or is cancelled, and you have to pay gas to cancel it (and if the gas you pay to cancel is too low, the cancel can literally take days).

So, just bite the bullet and pay the premium to make sure your transactions don't get stuck in Ethereum hell. (Also, if you're using UniSwap, if the transaction takes longer than the timeout interval, which is 20 minutes by default, then you still end up paying the ETH gas fees, but the transaction gets rejected by UniSwap -- so it's gas paid literally for nothing).

Yes it is really complicated, when I started in CUB I also had to wait to save some gas.

But, how much approximately do you need to do the conversions you require?

Thanks for asking.

I finally got everything 'unstuck'. I had to send USD fiat to CashApp, buy BTC on CashApp, send the BTC to Bittrex, convert BTC to ETH, send ETH to metamask, then use the ETH on metamask to free up the transactions on UniSwap (or something like that -- it was a convoluted mess!).

Totally crazy that I had to jump through so many hoops when I had ERC-20 tokens in my wallet with plenty of value, but no actual ETH to pay the gas fees.

The other thing I learned through this process was that you cannot easily 'cancel' a slow transaction on the Ethereum network and you cannot initiate a new transaction without the first transaction either succeeding or failing.

So there are actually two ways to end up in Ethereum hell:

  • Not having enough ETH to pay the gas fees.
  • Not providing a transaction with enough ETH to keep it in the 'fast lane'.

Without realizing the existence of the sequential-queuing limitation, I ended up with 5 or so time-sensitive transactions in the queue, all stuck behind my initial low-gas transaction, with those transactions destined to 'fail' for exceeding UniSwap's time limit.

I had used the 'cancel' option to try to clear out earlier 'pending' transactions, but then eventually (a day later) discovered that those cancels were also going to take days to process as 'canceled', and that I could not conduct additional transactions until they cleared the queue. So, I had to add a bunch more gas to those 'cancel' orders to get them finally canceled and 'out of the way' so I could place new transactions.

What a ROYAL PAIN! I have been so spoiled by Hive's 3-second block validation and fee-less transactions. This is one more reason why I am so bullish on Hive and LeoFinance.

The takeaway (for me):

  • Stay away from the Ethereum network, if at all possible.
  • If you MUST operate there, always put in enough gas (ETH) to stay in the fast lane for each and every transaction. Getting out of being stuck in the slow lane will end up costing you more (in both time and ETH) than just starting out in the fast lane.

This sounds like a complete disaster.

I also have some BCH in a wallet and I have to send double what I have in there to get it out, so it's not worth it.

And I can see why this leofinance bridge will be a new tool for many, because I know the same problem you have, many have.

And of course I will stay away from ethereum, I am not yet a millionaire to operate there, I still have to grow my crpto.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.

Wow I'm glad I got into crypto later in a way so I didn't have to deal with getting into Eth and that ecosystem XD

lol, Ethereum has done a lot for adoption and use cases but they just fail to fix the scalability issue. They are doing things right though. As long as they can continue to develop and move in that direction they should come out on top.

That's the way to do it. You'll be in a good spot when new projects continue to be launched

Perfect solution! I recently liquidated my CUB-BNB pool and left only liquidity in CUB-BUSD, which allows me to use fewer gas commissions.

It's been announced that Leo Bridge will be coming SOON. Soon in dev language means anywhere between a few days to a month or two at least in my experience haha.

Hahahhahahahahahhahhahahah

I doing the same buy as much CUB I can and adding LP tokens to the CUB-BUSD pool,
I got lucky as well with buying some more CUB under 3 $ after purchasing over 3$ last week :(
Good luck! And let the CUBS roll!

I'm looking forward to all the things the LEO team are bringing. LEO seems to be pretty cheap at the moment.

There hasn't been much HYPE/ announcements out of them for a good month or two which is making people start looking at other projects. Perfect time to scoop a lot up for a discount.

I have been moving some funds over to the bleo side of things in anticipation of the LeoBridge announcement (and then the project blank announcement).

I'm curious if we will see a bump in the bleo-BNB pool from 12x once it goes live or shortly after since it will play a big part in it.

Ya, it would sweeten the deal, but I see a lot of FOMO on the horizon with bridges and airdrops. The whole CUB ecosystem is a ticking moon bomb.

Hey, what's the delay?

I have also noticed some failures in the BSC platform, but I didn't know why, I thought it was the fault of the Chinese government, or hackers but I really don't know.
