I had the pleasure of meeting with @tannedoaksprout a co-founder of @autonolas to discuss Hera's vision and learn more about what they are building over there. Here are some of my findings.

Looking for near-zero slippage swaps? Sounds like @HeraAggregator is what you're looking for. AI-powered pathfinder and chainfinder, top notch route discovery between token pairs, extemely friendly UI/UX, and much more. Swap smarter.

Community Recap Series #2 🧠 Hera core developers have been conducting research for our planned Interchain product, and now we have decided on the basic model. ▫️ @LayerZero_Labs 's support for almost all major chains and compatibility with the communication protocol we need makes it a strong backbone. We'll build on this infrastructure, starting with @0xMantle as the incubation center, and then prepare it for deployment on Arbitrum, Metis, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Ethereum. Development is a lengthy process, so adding new chains is highly likely. ▫️ 2nd major development: Team continue to coding Hera core and AI models from scratch. This process aims to make the #Hera pathfinder much faster and stable, directly contributing to the interchain product. ▫️ Additionally, we're at the final stages of deploying the dex aggregator protocol to #Mantle, and we expect to launch once dex protocols and liquidity sources reach a certain level. This won't take too long, and the announcement will be made soon. ▫️ Lastly, we want to address the much-awaited expansion of $HERA to new chains. The OFT model by LayerZero has inspired us, and we are testing it extensively. This upgrade won't just be limited to Arbitrum or others; we are preparing for the capability to expand to all chains once we have access to the necessary liquidity. When the time comes, we will be delighted to share the first expansion announcement with you. In addition to this, to enable the Staking Portal to operate omni-chain, we need a series of updates. Hera will be independent of chains and have its own power. We extend our gratitude to all the protocols and our community who support Hera during our R&D process and beyond. We're entering a challenging and stressful period, but we have no doubt that it will lead us to a revolutionary DeFi product. Wishing you all a fun and peaceful weekend.😋 Thank you for being a part of the Hera community! Author: Elips - CoFounder @elipsinucunda

Announcement: We will be updating Hera's Metis version and integrating UniMaia v3 pools into pathfinder within the next few hours. During this time, there may be some access issues.

With the v3 version, we will solve the issues of continuity and response time, and release a distribution that will enable almost all protocols to use Hera core. We are still at the beginning of our goals for Hera, and there is much more development to be done. We are aware that many of our investors want us to engage in active marketing, but in the current market conditions, the best thing we can do is to improve the product. Trust in our experiences and abilities! Things are progressing well behind the scenes. Currently, protocol expenses are higher than revenues, but this will change completely in the future. The plan is always to increase protocol revenue, which is crucial for both the token and the ecosystem's strength. We will turn Hera into a DeFi hub in 2024. With our Interchain feature, all our dreams will come true. We have been in communication with many major protocols and are working on collaborations. We have made significant progress in our first year, and our second year will be even better. Trust the plan! 🫡

All protocols have been successfully tested on Hera Flow. AI was focused on the points where the user swap tendency is high. You can think of it like a trade heatmap. After the launch, we will train the AI for 30-60 days and then the stable version will be released. I can exemplify this as follows: Pathfinder now works with maximum efficiency in the range of 0-64K USD. In addition, thanks to its self-learning ability, it will continue to give better results day by day. We will provide better results for megaswaps after stable release. Tomorrow we move on to the contract deployment phase, the penultimate step for Arbitrum launch. We will also release Pathfinder v2.7 final version on Metis before Arbi launch. In this context, Maia - UniV3 integration will also be completed.

Hi everyone, I am writing a letter to the community regarding SVB bank and how this impacts Hera. From our analysis, we have observed that the USDC asset has lost 3.3B/40B, or 8.25% of its collateralization in the SVB bank bond meltdown. This represents one of the six major banks it does business with. Systemically any base pair for an asset has a risk when paired in a liquidity pool. What does this mean for the future of Hera? Although there is a slight chance that the financial system that is tied to any stable backed pairs has exposure to more banks with such faults, there hasn't yet been any clear signs that this issue will spread or not be backstopped by the very large organizations that facilitate them. If you look mathematically at the price USDC is down on its peg, 8.8%, it is near identical to the ratio stated in the article regarding SVB. For now, Hera will remain with a USDC pair, and in the event of any updates that gives us further reason to change, we may be open to a short term incentivized period for HERA/USDT or HERA/wETH pair liquidity granted specific market conditions. We believe that Circle should be able to resolve this issue, and recommend any people that use Defi to always proceed with due diligence. This is not financial advice. Best Regards, Christian Hera BD Lead

Just some updates regarding biz dev, we have been making new connections in the space. There are definitely some larger organizations that are starting to catch wind of what Hera really has to offer that we have opened communications with. I have to emphasize with great importance that Hera is strategically planning for the future with all of its investors in mind. Regardless of where Hera's token is traded, our scalable business model is being deployed in full force as soon as we have everything ready. This increase in revenue strengthens so many aspects of this ecosystem. As some of you may be aware, our fee structure for using our artificial intelligence powered liquidity search engine is getting an update. As Yasin says "Best or nothing." Tentatively to expect the logic goes as such. If our rate is equal or less than that of a competitor due to our fee structure, no fee will be charged. In the instance that we have a superior swap output result from our pathfinder, we perform a simple breakdown of (our ouput - the best competitor output). From that difference, we derive an equitable fee for our services. More details on how that will specifically break down mathematically and how HeraPower will intertwine with this dynamic will be announced at a later time. This optimization in fee structure will definitely make a positive impact on our revenue as a whole and make it so that you are always getting the best no matter what. Stay tuned, we are so excited to deliver these updates to you.

With a growing interest in #AI, Kyudo and co reached out to us to get the inside scoop on what is unfolding in the industry. Christian, our BD lead took on this task to help give insights into the future of Hera. Thank you for all the amazing questions. 👏

How does #HeraAggregator work? ✅ Our team has been hard at work leading into its expansion of services. While we have been very busy, we've taken the time to create this infographic for those that are curious about how are technology stack functions.

twitter.com

Hello everyone! I wanted to give you all some information regarding Hera. Being active in telegram has its benefits! We believe its important the community understands Hera from a conceptual as well as a technological stand point. Ai Driven Trade Mining Hera is the first to develop a new abstraction layer of economic incentive for its end users. This is made possible by superior rates sourced from the combination of chainfinder data retrieval fed into the Ai pathfinder as a data source. This has enabled the collection of a sub fractional fee structure which is distributed to its ecosystem and participants. Unlike proof of work, this new age mining model can be facilitated on gas optimized layer 2s as well as layer 1s. As each trade is processed by the composability of this defi front end, which scours all major liquidity networks on all major chains, funds are collected and forwarded to the home treasury on Metis Layer 2. The staking portal’s APY is reflexive based on a couple factors. APY and trade mining difficulty influences • Staking Participation • Revenue Generated In the case of diminished APY, it is important to realize that Hera is a scarce asset and that its inflation rates can drop lower than some major proof of work tokens. Trade mining difficulty over time will increase as the available Hera that is tradeable on the open market reduces. This concept is analogous to the concept of the possibility of mining on lesser hardware in days past.

Development Update Upgrade AI-Pathfinder to v2.5 🤖 As many of you may be aware of, Hera has an AI-powered off-chain pathfinder. We have started #Arbitrum launch tests. Let's get into the details ⤵️

As you know, #HeraAggregator has an #AI-powered pathfinder algorithm. Slightly different from other protocols. 1️⃣ Max Output Equation 2️⃣ HCA Data Processing 3️⃣ Find All Paths 4️⃣ Hera Pathfinder: Assemble But how does it work? Let's take a deep dive in the thread below! 🧵

twitter.com

Assuming that we would prefer Arbitrum, we did a research and completed it. Our core developer is currently working on integrating 28+ protocols into Hera Pathfinder, and I'm working on tokens and details in the network. And our server-side dev is looking at improving response times and optimizing pathfinder operations. To be honest, I don't know if we can make it by the end of the year. Launching by integrating 4-5 protocols does not give us anything. We believe that when we are fully prepared, reach a good point in the competition. Therefore, we apologize in advance for possible delays. After integrating each protocol, we perform performance testing. Our overall assessment: everything is fine and we are doing well. Protocols to be integrated: - Uniswap V2 / V3 ✅ - Sushi ✅ - Kyber Elastic / DMM ✅ - GMX ✅ - Hashflow - Woo - Dodo V1 / V2 - Curve V1/ V2 (Registry / Factory and all protocols) ✅ - Balancer V2 (Stable / Weighted) - Aave V3 - Magic - Camelot Exchange - Frax Swap - Synapse Swap (Legacy / Stable) - Elk Finance - Mycelium - Swapr - Yearn V2 - Saddle Finance - ZipSwap So there is a lot of work to be done and we are doing our best. The best thing to do in the bad market process is to develop more. Keep on working!
