The Great Liquidity Event™️

Every DEX has to answer the same question. How are you going to get liquidity? In this article, we are going to answer that question. To cut to the chase, we are going to reward users of other DEXs with a new token ($POD) that shares fees.

How’s that going to work?

If you are a liquidity provider (LP) on a DEX then prepare to be rewarded handsomely with $POD. If you’re not an LP yet and just want to join in, the farms have identical rewards without needing to swap into LP first too!

To start providing liquidity and earning $POD tokens, provide liquidity to the supported pools and stake those LP tokens into the corresponding farm. Once done, they will start earning tokens once rewards start on block 18647795, approximately 9am EST on Monday the 13th of June.

At every block 100 POD tokens will be created. All of these tokens will be distributed to stakers of each of the supported farms based on the pools priority.

However, for the first month, the amount of POD tokens produced will be 10x, resulting in 1000 POD tokens being minted per block. This is to reward early adopters and users of the protocol.

The initial list of eligible pools is as follows:

Retaining Long-Term Liquidity

We acknowledge that a campaign like this is great for getting liquidity but doesn’t help retain it. To encourage positive long-term growth for the protocol, we are launching POD staking pools alongside the farms.

These pools will allow users to stake their POD tokens in flexible or locked staking, locked for up to 1 year to provide extra yield for our users. More detailed information on our farms and pools will be detailed in a future blog post.

How Can You Participate?

Once we begin, you can start depositing LP tokens using the migration interface or adding liquidity to the LP pools and staking those tokens.

You will begin to earn POD starting from block 18647795. Be sure to stake your LP tokens prior to that for maximum rewards.
