Velar Points brings our unique value proposition that sets Velar apart from other platforms. These points are not just a reward system but also represent Velar’s innovative approach to engaging and appreciating its community of liquidity providers and participants.

Unlike traditional rewards, Velar Points offer a dynamic, performance-based incentive directly correlating with users’ contributions to the platform’s liquidity and stability. This distinctive mechanism helps foster a more committed and active community, enhancing the DeFi experience for all those involved.

How Do Velar Points Work?

Velar Points can be earned through active participation in various liquidity pools, such as STX-aeUSDC, STX-ABTC, and others, each designed to cater to different market needs and preferences. The significance of each pool lies in its contribution to the overall health and efficiency of the DeFi market on Velar, ensuring a diversified and robust ecosystem.

Velar attempts to ensure fairness and transparency in point allocation through a clear, formula-based system that takes into account the USD value of staked LP tokens and the relative allocation points of each pool.

Tracking and Updates

The seamless integration between users’ wallets and the Velar platform utilizes blockchain technology, enabling real-time tracking and secure, transparent updates.

Updates are provided at the end of every 24-hour cycle, based on UTC, allowing users to monitor their status and potentially adjust their participation approaches accordingly. This transparency aims to build trust and also empower users to optimize their participation and rewards.

Calculation Examples

Consider a user participating in the STX-aeUSDC pool with $10,000 worth of staked LP tokens and a daily point allocation of 0.1 per dollar. The calculation would be straightforward:

Total Daily Points: $10,000 (USD value) × 0.1 (Points Per USD Per Day) = 1,000 Velar Points.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for Velar Points, merely providing liquidity is not enough; staking LP tokens is mandatory. A common pitfall is assuming that all forms of liquidity provision automatically qualify for rewards.

To ensure eligibility, users must actively stake their tokens in the designated pools and periodically verify their staking status, avoiding common misunderstandings that could potentially lead to missed reward opportunities.

Benefits of Participation

Participating in Velar Points goes beyond immediate rewards; it’s an investment in the future of DeFi. Users contribute to a vision that seeks to democratize finance, making it more accessible, efficient, and fair.

Upcoming features, such as enhanced governance mechanisms and additional reward tiers, promise to enrich the participant experience further, underscoring Velar’s commitment to its community and the broader goals of DeFi.
