This report aims to provide a comprehensive update of all bsdETH related activities over the last quarter, including both on-chain and off-chain data. The purpose of this report is to inform and educate the wider Reserve community on the activities of bsdETH over the last quarter while becoming a reference library for all governance, social media and on-chain data. ## bsdETH Core Metrics Price: $1634 Price relative to ETH: 1 bsdETH = 1.03 ETH Market Cap at the end of Q4: $27.8m (8625 ETH) Current Market Cap: $8.1m (5121 ETH) Staked RSR: $812,000 (117.5m) Total TVL (MC+Staked RSR): $8.9m Backing: 11% RSR Staking yield: 3.7% Diversification Ratio: 77.8 ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/reserve/original/1X/c6f79f231a7376d53a9b05aa04a1fe711efbaffe.png) ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/reserve/original/1X/20b131307f2e26999bb4f3dd1b496f331ee083d5.png) ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/reserve/original/1X/3adfac213d5f874efc1116b89de27329b2030297.png) ## On-Chain Metrics Contract Address: 0xcb327b99ff831bf8223cced12b1338ff3aa322ff Holders: 6,659 -19.5% (8,265) Total Transfers: 234,407 +47% (159,809) Transfers (90d): 78,764 +44% (54,957) ## DeFi Integrations Total bsdETH supplied end of Q1 2025: $7.8m (4970 ETH) Total bsdETH supplied end of Q4 2024: $23.4m (7100 ETH) Dollar value change: -65% ETH value change: -30% ### Morpho Total bsdETH Supplied: $6.5m -63% ($17.3m) [bsdETH/WETH ](https://app.morpho.org/market?id=0x7f90d72667171d72d10d62b5828d6a5ef7254b1e33718fe0c1f7dcf56dd1edc7&network=base)Total supply: $4.9m Total Borrow: $4.2m Available: $740k Liquidations: $0 Vaults [Seamless WETH](https://app.morpho.org/base/vault/0x27D8c7273fd3fcC6956a0B370cE5Fd4A7fc65c18/seamless-weth-vault) supply: $4.12m (2610 ETH) [Gauntlet WETH Core](https://app.morpho.org/vault?vault=0x6b13c060F13Af1fdB319F52315BbbF3fb1D88844&network=base) supply: $818k (518 ETH) [Re7 WETH](https://app.morpho.org/vault?vault=0xA2Cac0023a4797b4729Db94783405189a4203AFc&network=base) supply: $0 [bsdETH/eUSD ](https://app.morpho.org/market?id=0xf9ed1dba3b6ba1ede10e2115a9554e9c52091c9f1b1af21f9e0fecc855ee74bf&network=base)Total supply: $1.51m Total Borrow: $566k Available: $994,000 Liquiditations -

While market sentiment and a weak ETH price contributed to these changes, they were not the only factors, as total ETH supply across DeFi markets has also decreased. In Q4 2024, 74% of bsdETH allocated to DeFi strategies was concentrated in Morpho’s vaults, leaving us dependent on the decisions of vault curators. Recently, the Re7 WETH vault removed its entire bsdETH allocation, severely impacting the overall supply. This drop was somewhat offset by the introduction of the Gauntlet Seamless WETH Vault in mid-February, which has a total supply of $21 million and a 22% allocation to bsdETH. However, overall adjustments in bsdETH supply to Morpho vaults has resulted in a total reduction of 1,140 ETH or a 20% decline, with the dollar value of supply dropping by 63%. Governance activity has picked up this quarter, with three RFCs on the forums, two of which have successfully passed and completed their IP governance process. This increase is largely due to the completion of the index protocol and the core team lifting the governance freeze across all yield protocol RTokens. The first successful proposal involved adding superOETHb to the collateral basket, a topic referenced in the previous quarter’s governance review. With the collateral plugin now complete, we have been able to finalize the addition, increasing diversification and yields with its inclusion. The second proposal involved increasing the backing buffer from 0.1% to 0.15% to align with yield protocol standards. Additionally, RocketPool has proposed an RFC to include rETH in the collateral basket, pending the completion of its collateral plugin. Last quarter, we noted that bsdETH’s social media presence was lacking, with lower-than-desirable impression counts due to a limited posting volume. Fortunately, these metrics have significantly improved, with a stronger posting cadence, impressions nearly ten times higher and a stable engagement ratio at 4.8%. However, with just 55 posts last quarter, there is still potential for growth. In summary, bsdETH has faced a significant decline in TVL—72% in dollars and 41% in ETH for Q1 2025—affected by market sentiment and reduced ETH supply in DeFi markets. Governance activities have increased with successful proposals, while social media engagement has also seen notable improvements. Yet, there’s still room for further enhancements in community engagement both in governance and on twitter. It’s been a productive quarter, made possible by our community’s support. We invite you to continue contributing to bsdETH’s strategy in the upcoming quarter. Please leave a comment on this post if you have suggestions or if you’d like to take a more active role in supporting bsdETH. (TG: Ham\_PERQ / Discord: Ham6869). ---

Thanks for putting together a solid quarterly report @ham, this was quite useful and included some things I would have missed otherwise. Regarding the wsuperOETHb yield - I believe the amount showing in the Reserve UI to be not entirely accurate - according to [Origin’s API](https://api.originprotocol.com/api/v2/superoethb/apr/trailing/40), for the 40 days since the wsuperOETH proposal passed the superOETHb yield was 5.254217542010967% APR, which brings the blended APR a bit higher than the amount in your screenshot to 3.86076073%. I’ve mentioned this to the Reserve core team, hopefully they can update the UI to include the API by the time the next quarterly report is ready. One idea I had to help drive growth for bsdETH, would be to deploy a bsdETH/superOETHb pool on Curve, with [Yield Forwarding](https://www.originprotocol.com/yield-forwarding) enabled. Origin can assist with obtaining the gauge for this pool. Through Yield Forwarding, rather than having the yield sent to other users, like it is with superOETH sitting in other smart contracts that are [opted-out](https://docs.originprotocol.com/introduction/core-concepts/rebasing-and-smart-contracts) of receiving yield, the yield from the underlying superOETH in the pair will be sent back to Curve as a bribe on the pair - incentivizing Curve voters to vote to send emissions to the pool, which in turn drives individuals to deposit into this pool. The bribes for this pool could be entirely funded from the superOETH yield itself, rather than needing the Reserve team or DAO to cover this cost. To get the Yield Forwarding process started, Origin would just need the bsdETH/superOETH pool to be deployed. The initial liquidity for this pool could come from one of the current bsdETH/ETH pools on Uniswap or Aerodrome. Many of the current pools with Yield Forwarding enabled can be found on Origin’s governance [forum](https://governance.originprotocol.com/tags/c/proposals/8/yf). ---

Suggest finding a way to get the yield basket to outperform stETH by 200 bips otherwise you are swimming in a vast ocean of undifferentiated assets. Then lean into the Base community with co promotion education and awareness. Nonstop repetition. Differentiation education is a hard slog. **Last week’ post is already forgotten and new eyes want to be spoonfed a fresh dish today.** What other Base aligned apps can collab? Maybe farcaster? Others?
