🎁Incentive Rewards

We will provide 180,000 ALPACA in incentive rewards to lenders and leveraged yield farmers on Fantom over the first four weeks. Users will be able to claim $ALPACA rewards any time just like how it works on BNB Chain.

Towards the end of the first 4 weeks, the team will reevaluate how many incentive rewards to continue providing depending on TVL.

🔀Bridging ALPACA to Fantom

You can bridge your $ALPACA tokens from BNB Chain to Fantom via Multichain (formerly AnySwap) for new earning opportunities. Upon launch, two immediate utilities for $ALPACA on Fantom will be:

  • Deposit $ALPACA in the lending pool to earn yields
  • Provide liquidity in the SpookySwap’s ALPACA-FTM pool, with or without leverage

The bridge is already online!

ALPACA address on Fantom: 0xad996a45fd2373ed0b10efa4a8ecb9de445a4302

For those unfamiliar with bridging, we have prepared a step-by-step guide.

That’s it boys and girls. This multi-chain expansion should provide new high-yield earning opportunities for Alpaca users, more members to the Herd, and higher revenues for $ALPACA holders. So of course, we’re quite excited to launch on Fantom. And if you hear any spooky noises in the night, rest easy, because it’s probably just the sounds of your savings growing.
