Babylon is a community-led asset management protocol that enables users to create investment clubs (we call them gardens) and invest in DeFi together. It’s built on the Ethereum network and it’s non-custodial, transparent, permission-less, and governed by the community. BABL is the governance token behind it.

We are relentlessly working to provide our DeFi investment clubs with all the primitives needed to build wealth together.

A month ago, we released support for 22 Pickle Jars.

Today, we are excited to announce support for Uniswap V3 Jars and 25 Pickle Farms.

πŸ₯’ Pickle Jars & Farms

In Pickle, users first deposit assets into a Jar, then the protocol automatically deposits them into yield farms and compounds the rewards for the user saving time and gas for users. Pickle is one of the leading yield aggregators with more than $43M in TVL.

Now, Babylon gardens can create strategies that stake the pickle jar tokens. Babylon strategies will now receive $PICKLE emissions on top of the jar benefits: greater capital efficiency and reduced gas costs. One pickle strategy can serve hundreds of garden members at once, splitting the gas costs and increasing capital efficiency.

A Babylon Strategy is able to enter an LP position in Sushi, UniswapV2, Uniswap V3, or Curve and then stakes the LP tokens into the Jar. Then, the LP tokens of the jar can be staked into the farm 🚜

πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ How to Create a Pickle Farm strategy

In Babylon, you can combine different primitives from other DeFi protocols to create your own DeFi strategy. No code is required.

Here is a video of how to create a strategy within Babylon:

Here are specific steps to create a strategy that stakes assets in Pickle and then stakes the pTokens in the farm.

  1. Click on create strategy button within your garden 🌴
  2. (Optional) If the Jar requires an LP token, you need to add liquidity first. Add Liquidity-> Uniswap, Sushiswap, or Curve
You’ll see the Pickle icon if the LP tokens are stakeable in Pickle

3. Stake->Pickle

4. Select the Jar you want to stake the tokens at.

4. Add a new Stake operation and select Pickle Farm. Pick the same jar.

5. Complete all the additional strategy params

Done πŸš€

πŸ”₯ The Pickle Garden is imminent…

This integration completes all the prerequired work needed to start the Pickle Field garden.

This Pickle Garden is going to provide index exposure to the top-performing Pickle Jars.

LPs can just deposit DAI and benefit from jars auto compounding, $PICKLE emissions, and $BABL rewards. Plus, they also receive the usual garden benefits like gas-free deposits, tax minimization, and share execution costs.

Did you know that in Ancient Babylon, pickles were a staple in the diet?

🧠 Become a Manager/Strategist on Babylon

As a strategist, you would receive up to 10% of the profits (varies per garden) + 10% BABL rewards.

More about BABL rewards in the Mining Program.
