DOLA For Badgers

Today we opened a new DOLA lending facility on Rari’s Fuse Pool 22, managed by our friends at BadgerDAO. Holders of BadgerDAO assets like ibBTC, BADGER, and others can now borrow DOLA at some of the lowest rates among decentralized stablecoins:

This is the first of a series of efforts with BadgerDAO to bring new value to our communities and it builds on our already-successful efforts with @Tetranode on Fuse Pool 6 where already over $16 million in DOLA loans are currently active.

BadgerDAO 101

BadgerDAO is best known for championing the cause of bringing Bitcoin into the world of DeFi and providing DeFi investors with better options for using BTC as collateral for borrowing. ibBTC — or “interest bearing Bitcoin — is Badger’s index of Bitcoin-pegged assets including wBTC, renBTC, sBTC, and tBTC. DIGG is their synthetic version of Bitcoin and BADGER is their governance token. All of these are available as part of vault strategies on https://badger.com/ and today total TVL is over $843 million.

Positive Sum Badger

We are in the early stages of partnership discussions with BadgerDAO and Fuse Pool 22 is a straightforward starting point for both DAO’s. Badger’s Rari pool is already active and Inverse is already lending DOLA on Fuse Pool 6, so it resulted in an easy governance vote for the Inverse DAO. This launch also adds to Inverse’s portfolio of DOLA lending facilities — what we call DOLA Feds — across many lending partners and across many chains to reach this year’s objective of $1 billion in DOLA circulation and ultimately returning DOLA back to xINV stakers as part of the Positive-Sum DeFi vision that kicked off with our launch of Inverse Plus just weeks ago.
