Yield Strats #28 – Honest work on Arbitrum, Forex Farming, Retroactive Airdrops and POAPs
- This week’s yield strat focuses on yield farming on Ethereum and Arbitrum, with additional Airdrop information you may have missed across Avalanche, Ethereum and Cosmos. Convex have recently listed Fixed Forex farms with yields on stablecoins as high as 50-100% APR. DODO and Swapr have launched on Arbitrum with single-sided LP Pools and traditional 50/50 Pools, respectively. Lastly, retroactive airdrops are available to claim for DeFi participants in Avalanche and Cosmos.
- Convex Finance is a platform built on top of Curve Finance which allows Curve liquidity providers to earn trading fees and claim boosted CRV without locking CRV themselves.
- DODO is an on-chain decentralized exchange/liquidity provider for everyone, powered by the Proactive Market Making (PMM) algorithm. PMM is an oracle-aided algorithm with an advanced pricing formula that provides contract-fillable liquidity. DODO is now live on Arbitrum, providing rewards for liquidity providers. DODO LP rewards will not be subject to any lockup or vesting schedules. Users will need to claim these rewards when they wish to. The wBTC/USDC, ETH/USDC, and USDT/USDC pools are single-sided, meaning the liquidity rewards per block are split evenly.
- Swapr is a multichain, governance-enabled AMM based on a fork of Uniswap, governed by DXdao. As of today, DXvote, the Swapr dApp and SWPR token contracts have been deployed on Arbitrum by the community.
