Retro Integrates Yield IQ: Unlocking Profitable Liquidity Provision Strategies
Retro partners with Yield IQ, unlocking new revenue streams for its users.
We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Retro, a leading ve(3,3) decentralized exchange (DEX) and a new automated liquidity management marketplace on Polygon. Together, we are revolutionizing the world of liquidity provision and yield generation, creating an ecosystem that combines the power of Yield IQ’s strategy with Retro’s innovative platform. We’re super excited to collaborate with like-minded individuals and projects — working towards building a strong and sustainable DeFi ecosystem.
Access Yield IQ on Retro
One of the key highlights of this partnership is the integration of the Yield IQ algorithm into the Retro front end. This integration ensures that Retro users can benefit from advanced yield optimization techniques while providing liquidity and earning trading fees. We’re here to support DEXs who wish to integrate our product and offer accessible and profitable liquidity management.
The process is relatively straightforward. First, you deposit your preferred token. Yield IQ then allocates these tokens into a concentrated liquidity AMM, such as Uniswap V3, without any swap occurring prior to this deployment. In return, you receive LP tokens, a representation of your share in the liquidity pool.
Here’s where the magic happens: Yield IQ, powered by Chainlink Automation, adjusts the concentrated liquidity position based on the token’s arrangement and market conditions. When trades occur, you earn trading fees, supplementing any appreciation of your token. Yield IQ consistently oversees token composition to guard against harmful arbitrage and drastic market shifts. When you’re ready, you can withdraw your initial deposit and earnings at any time by exchanging your LP tokens for your share of the assets in the vault.
What Is Retro?
Retro is not just another DEX. It is a solution designed specifically for protocols on Polygon, offering incentivized liquidity provision. Retro provides a unique blend of innovative ve(3,3) tokenomics, delivering higher yields and enhanced liquidity opportunities.
Retro is a friendly fork of Thena (liquidity layer & AMM) and Uniswap V3 Concentrated Liquidity. Retro is collaborating closely with Thena to exchange ideas and features as they both work towards their respective visions. Just like Thena, Retro has introduced two pool types: concentrated liquidity pools for volatile asset pairs and Stableswap pools for stable asset pairs. Concentrated liquidity pools enhance swap efficiency, offering increased market depth, tighter spreads, and reduced slippage costs. This stability not only benefits individual traders but also contributes to a healthier and more vibrant swaps market, generating organic fees for veRETRO voters.
Additionally, Retro is proud to integrate Stabl Labs’ $CASH yield-bearing stable index token into the protocol from launch. This integration will provide bribe revenue to veRETRO voters, enhancing the incentives and utility of the Retro ecosystem. Furthermore, their team plans to introduce unique elements that fully leverage the ve(3,3) model, benefitting all stakeholders and adding utility to the $CASH token.
Retro stands out by incorporating multiple active liquidity managers into their app, such as Gamma and ICHI, to simplify and maximize liquidity provision on concentrated liquidity DEXs. This approach creates a one of a kind ALM marketplace enhancing decentralization, resilience, and efficiency, ensuring a dynamic and evolving ecosystem for liquidity providers.
Leveraging Merkl for Customizable Emissions
Retro will leverage Merkl, developed by Angle Labs, to distribute emissions in a flexible and efficient manner. Merkl enables incentivizers to tailor their distribution strategies based on factors such as liquidity volume, price ranges, or specific token holders. LPs can earn rewards without additional risks or smart contract interactions, ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience.
Looking Ahead
The partnership between Yield IQ and Retro marks an exciting milestone in the world of decentralized finance. By integrating Yield IQ’s powerful strategy and algorithm into Retro’s frontend, LPs can enjoy efficient and profitable liquidity provision. Combined with the ability to earn trading fees, appreciate token values, and withdraw liquidity seamlessly, the Yield IQ and Retro partnership offers a compelling solution for LPs seeking maximum yield in the DeFi space.
