Aimed to provide future, fixed rate and swap contracts tokenized using Solana’s DEX serum order books, FTR aims to disrupt the funding, farming, and yield markets with their risk management vision.

Live trading sessions with the FTR team was done in the FTR gated channel in the Grape discord. For 30 $FTR tokens, you can access alpha FTR exclusive channel through the gate access from the #welcome channel. You can look into this recap of the recent live trading session.

— PAI

We have also opened the gate access for the Solana’s resident party bird! The Parrot Protocol aims to make value locked in DeFi systems accessible through these 3 use cases:

• A margin trading Virtual Automated Market Maker (vAMM)
• Non-custodial lending market
• Stablecoin known as $PAI

Parrot recently just launched pBTC, Parrot’s synthetic BTC. This is the first synthetic asset live on the Solana’s mainnet. Collateral ratio 400%, Liquidation ratio 125%, Per user debt limit is 0.0005 pBTC. These risk parameters will be relaxed soon.

You can join the party with 50 $PAI tokens and get access to the Parrot Protocol channel by getting verified through our #welcome channel.

Look ahead this week: July 12–19

Grape DAO

The Grape DAO has been busy this week (as it always is). We have covered a lot of topics, ranging from distribution to tokenomics. Whilst there has been no voting yet on any specific proposals it is important to note that these topics were discussed:

• A fairer role reward system. Rewarding users for effort, rather than just showing up to make bank.
• APR tiers depending on Discord role & contribution to the community
• Incentives for proactive community members and penalties for abusers
• Tokenomics
• Staking

There were many other topics discussed but I feel these were the main points that attracted the most attention.

NFT Marketplace

Thanks to the hard work of a few amazing individuals Grape is now able to bring you the NFT Marketplace

Here, you can connect your Phantom wallet and bid on your favourite NFTs created by our amazing community.

This is a work in progress and we will keep you up to date every week with how development is going. Expect some amazing designs here.

The public team talks for OGs and verified wallets continue.

Here are the highlights of the most recent team talk:

• Grape token will launch after funding has been finalized.
