What is Bifrost: Bifrost is the DeFi project for PoS tokens, that include staking and liquidity both. Bifrost is a Polkadot Parachain candidate. It was granted by Web3 Foundation and also is a member of the Substrate Builder Program.

What can be used for: Bifrost users can exchange stacked assets (f.e. DOT or KSM) through the transfer bridge to vToken (i.e. vDOT, vKSM) to get Staking Reward and Liquidity. After the Bifrost mainnet is officially launched, the first phase will open KSM, DOT staking and vKSM and vDOT exchange. The exchange of ETH, EOS, IOST and vToken (vETH, vEOS, vIOST) will also be opened in the future.

With vToken user can hedge the risk of locked positions, DeFi & Staking double rewards and leverage Staking and other application scenarios.

vToken can be purchased directly from wallets, exchanges (CEX & DEX). In addition, users can swap vTokens by downloading the Bifrost Dapp after the official launch of the Bifrost mainnet

What problem solves:

  • lower the Staking threshold in a decentralized manner,
  • provide Staking liquidity without damaging of the original chain governance structure.
