Dear community,

We have just reached the 24hr mark for our IDO on Balancer’s Liquidity Pool! Thank you to everyone who has participated, or is planning on participating during the last day!


Since starting the APY.Finance journey we’ve learned a lot about you, and you’ve had time to learn about us! So far, we initiated a few community campaigns since we wanted to give back to our early supporters (that’s you!).

Let’s do a quick recap, shall we?

✅ Opened our Liquidity Mining Program, creating early governance token ($APY) holders.

✅ Went back & retroactively rewarded those who had provided and/or continue to mine $APY on our platform, focusing on rewarding those with the smallest of balances.

✅ Held a pre-LBP 'Flash Rewards' campaign to reward current liquidity miners with extra tokens, as a thanks for keeping their capital locked with us.

✅ Reached an agreement with our Seed Investors to stake 75%+ of their tokens for 1 year, ensuring the longevity of our ecosystem & token, but also creating more players for governance!


Now, we really want to seal the deal. We’re giving everyone who participates in the LBP one last chance to earn some extra rewards… Giveaway announcement below.👇

Dear Community,

👉 We are ready with our plans for LP Liquidity Program. The program incentivizes those that provide liquidity on @UniswapProtocol and @BalancerLabs.

👨‍🦰👱‍♀️Who are LPs:
Liquidity providers (LP) promote healthier liquidity in the ecosystem. Anyone can become a liquidity provider by depositing tokens into a smart contract and receive pool tokens in return.

🔥 Details about LP incentive program:

1️⃣ Token holders that provide liquidity to Uniswap and Balancer are able to earn APY token rewards via the Reward UI. The Reward UI will be available on Nov 13th.
2️⃣ Token holders that provided liquidity before Nov 13th will be retroactively rewarded.
3️⃣ 5,000 APY tokens per day will be rewarded to each pool in Uniswap and Balancer.

More about LP incentive program in our Medium post. 👀

✨ Retroactive Rewards : You can now check how much $APY you've been given retroactively, based on your balance!

Remember, 👀
1️⃣ Rewards have been given based on a quadratic formula that prioritized smaller depositors over larger ones first!.
2️⃣ Rewards are given to those who participated in the Liquidity Mining Rewards until October 29 20:00 EST / October 30 00:00 UTC.
3️⃣ To check your cumulative rewards, combine Week 1 - 4 reports

💸 The $APY LP Reward Program is now LIVE!

APY․Finance Governance Token holders are now able to earn rewards in exchange for providing liquidity on either @UniswapProtocol or @BalancerLabs! Both platforms will provide the same amount of rewards.

Link to LP reward article: https://medium.com/apy-finance/introducing-the-apy-lp-reward-program-95d6330f28ff

👉 Those of you who were already participating & providing liquidity before the 13th of November will be retroactively rewarded for being early adopters. The rewards will be automatically distributed to your address, so just sit tight!

👉 Those of you who are interested in participating in the LP Reward Program, you will need to stake your LP tokens (UNI-V2 or BPT) once received! You can do so via the new APY․Finance Staking UI : https://dashboard.apy.finance/staking

⚠️ Just one more important thing to note: Please make sure that from now on you're ONLY staking via our dedicated staking UI.

✨APY.Finance is now integrated in 1inch. exchange. 📊 Now using 1inch.exchange, users can discover the most efficient swapping routes across DEXes and get the best rates (buy/sell) for APY tokens.

About 1inch. exchange:
1Inch is a liquidity aggregator, pulling liquidity from exchanges including Uniswap, Balancer, Kyber, Bancor, Mooniswap and others.
This summer, 1Inch Exchange reported passing $1 billion threshold in the total volume of tokens going through its smart contracts.

📤 Smart Contract Development:

🌐 We’ve been developing an mAPT token that will be used internally by the system to coordinate the movement of capital between the different contracts. Note: This is not a publicly tradable token.

🌐 A custom Chainlink TVL aggregator is being integrated using an address registry that aggregates the token balances across the entire system.

🌐 We’ve completed noscripts for compiling calldata sequences and are testing Curve sequences with our strategy executor contract.
------

🚧 Front-End Redesign:

🟨 The APY.Finance landing page and dashboard are currently undergoing a redesign to increase ease of use, and more importantly: aesthetics.

🟨 We’ve implemented a dynamic contract instance hook to improve loading times and responsiveness and have now moved to e2e testing with the new hook.

👾 We appreciate your continued support. Let’s finish out the year strong! 👊 👾
