This Week: Vesper Orbit Launches, Select Fees Waived for Black Friday, and More
Also: Congratulations to “Earn It” competition winners!
Now Live — Vesper Orbit Pools
Vesper Orbit is a new application that gives DeFi participants the ability to access aggressive yield from exciting, emerging tokens through Vesper’s battle-tested yield strategies. Users can now deposit and start earning via Vesper Orbit’s official web app at orbit.vesper.finance.
The first Vesper Orbit pools support the stablecoins for Frax Protocol (FRAX), Fei Protocol (FEI), and Alchemix (AlUSD), plus the DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) token.
Vesper Orbit pools will carry 0.6% withdrawal and 20% platform fees that follow the same revenue model as aggressive pools (platform fee waived for Black Friday weekend).
The first batch of Orbit pools are boosted with 1,250 VSP each. Additional VSP will be allocated based on contributions from represented token communities and pool performance.
In addition, we’ve got a lot planned with the folks from IndexCoop, the creators of the DeFi Pulse Index (DPI). Stay tuned.
See the full Orbit announcement for more details.

Following the launch of Vesper Orbit, Co-founder Jeff Garzik hosted a Twitter Spaces to share more about the project, as well as his perspective on the current trends and future of DeFi.
