Calling on the Alpha Wolfpack… at Beta Finance gifts are coming early this holiday season.

The first period of BETA token allocation is officially unlocked for ALPHA stakers! 25M of 50M BETA tokens that have been allocated across the six-month BETA token lock-up period are now claimable for users who have staked ALPHA on Alpha Tokenomics. The remaining 25M BETA tokens will be unlocked over the next three months in batches of 8.3M BETA.

With your BETA tokens, you can:

Provide BETA and ETH liquidity & earn high yields

After claiming your BETA tokens from Alpha Tokenomics, you can earn higher yields by

  1. Providing liquidity of BETA and ETH to Uniswap V3 BETA/ETH (1% Fee) pool
  2. Staking the LP tokens on Beta Finance

Currently, 662%+ APR from the first program and 939%+ APR from the second program, for a total of ~1,600%+ APR (at the time of writing), coming from BETA rewards + additional trading fees. For a step-by-step guide, refer to here.

Advantages of this option vs. lending BETA tokens:

  • Significantly higher yields (~1,600%+ APR total at the time of writing)

Disadvantages of this option vs. lending BETA tokens:

  • Potential risk of impermanent loss
  • Higher gas fees
  • Requires ETH in addition to BETA

Lend BETA

If you don’t want to provide BETA and ETH liquidity, there is also an option to lend BETA for more yields. The yield comes from 1) lending interest rate and 2) additional BETA rewards as part of our next liquidity mining period November 24 1 PM UTC. For a step-by-step guide on depositing in money markets, refer to here.

Advantages of this option vs. providing BETA and ETH liquidity:

  • No risk of impermanent loss
  • Lower gas fee
  • Only BETA is required

Disadvantages of this option vs. providing BETA and ETH liquidity:

  • Lower yields
