Velo Token [$VLO] | Value of Velocity Digital Asset
The first Austrian economic experiment in DeFi based on real economic value. An anonymous team of crypto users that goes by the alias of 'Super Mises' (similar to that of Satoshi Nakomoto) has released a yield farming platform the uses the latest in DeFi trends. Taking a page from both Yam and Ampleforth Velotoken.fi is a platform that enables yield farming reward incentives and the rebasing of cryptocurrencies. VELO token (VLO) is an experiment in the 'value of velocity'.
**Please be aware that there are now 2 tokens that go by 'VELO' token. If you intend on using one or the other please be aware of this so that you don't use a wrong address or use the wrong one for your specific purpose.
1. VELO Token (VLO) - https://velotoken.fi/. This is the value of velocity, yield farming, governance token. This is the one this article is about.
2. Velo (VELO) - https://velo.org/. This is a financial protocol for businesses. It enables digital credit issuance and borderless asset transfer through smart contracts.
VELO Token ($VLO)
The newly launched VELO token ($VLO) will serve as a financial experimentation tool as well as the governance token for the Velotoken DAO.
The VELO token can be farmed on Velotoken.fi starting November 4th, 2020 until December 2nd, 2020. The VELO token is capped at a supply of 100M. Once the farming period has ended, no more $VLO tokens will be minted/released.
100% of the 100M tokens are allocated to yield farming participation, allowing for a fair token distribution.
The VELO token will be the first currency in history that rebases its supply not based on
price but based on its own velocity. Once all tokens are farmed, the total supply of VELO
token will only increase or decrease in inverse relation to its own velocity, but will never be
more than 100M in circulation.
The outcome of this experiment cannot be predicted. The experiment is in the hands of
the token holders and the community. It is up to the community members to play an active part in finding use cases and defining the future of VLO token.
The VELO token protocol uses the governance protocol from Compound, the incentive
mechanism from Yam and the rebasing functionalities from Ampleforth. A unique set of
trusted contracts with a completely new spin. Fair Farming and Elasticity
Multiple economic theories are put to the test in decentralized finance.
Rebasing stable currencies have the potential to bring price stability to unstable digital assets in Defi.
At the core of the VeloToken project lies the core of economic value, the more a currency is used, the more value it produces. Velocity in the “real economy” is measured by combining historical data and speculations about the future. A measurement that has not been able to occur in real-time until now.In decentralized finance, one can simply observe the amount of on-chain transactions of any cryptocurrency and calculate the velocity in real-time. With this, smart contracts can be used to calculate velocity to make changes in the currency's supply.
Velotoken is the first protocol that synthesizes velocity into a cryptocurrency. Velotoken is the first currency that has a direct relationship with its own velocity.

a non-inflationary cryptocurrency is a digital asset that has a fixed or diminishing supply. There is absolutely no way to create new tokens. This means the circulating supply can only go down.
Deflationary Farming is a process that allows farming without infinite inflation occurring. In order for this to happen, a fee must be charged on token transfers, and people can earn fee's by farming.

What is Deflationary Farming | How Deflationary Yield Farming Works
Yield farming has an inherently bad characteristic. You are putting down capital to earn something that you and all the others like you intend to sell. This means there is likely to be higher demand in the short run and sell-offs as time progresses. This destroys the value of the underlying token, do to inflating the supply.
There is a solution to this madness! and its called Deflationary Farming. For deflationary farming, there must be 1. a fee charged on token transfers, and 2. users can earn fees when they farm. This allows those who farm to do so without infinite inflation.
By having a fixed supply that cannot be added to and having unstakeable farms, yield farms cVault.Finance has created the first deflationary yield farming farms in the defi space.
The rewards given to farmers in cVault.Finance are paid out in Core tokens. The core tokens used for rewards are made available by cVault Finance ferm buying them from Uniswap and given to the farmers.

Welcome to this video posted by King of Fomo, in this video you will learn about cVault.finance and how you can earn Core Token by yield farming.
What is Core Finance?
Basically, it is a farming token, with a few twists. Most farming platforms are a copy and paste with minor changes of an existing platform such as Uniswap. Core Finance which is already over 10 million in total liquidity is still considered a low cap coin. The total supply of Core Token is just 10,000.
When you are farming Core Tokens you cannot remove your staked coins. This is unique as most other farms being yielded are ones where you can unstake your liquidity (Core-ETH pair for example).
CoreVault is the first high yield farmable deflationary DeFi token. With most liquidity farming pools the farmers are farming, they have to mint constantly new coins to generate returns. This causes the coin to become less valuable and they have too much sell pressure to keep the value from dropping.
The solution by Core Finance is called deflationary farming, it requires to very simple steps:
Charge fees on transferring tokens
Users can earn fees through farming
From this; token holders are able to farm without infinite inflation.
This will bring you to Uniswap where you can swap to receive Core tokens.
Step 2
Once you have your Core tokens you will need to create the liquidity pair with Eth coins and 'supply' them to the pool.

Best yield farming optimizer to use for the most gains (YFO)
In 2020, no ‘pure’ crypto enthusiast can insist that they have successfully ignored the lush idea of yield farming totally. Since Compound made its mark in the decentralized finance (DeFi) hustle with the COMP governance token, crypto users have swarmed towards developing new and ingenious strategies to generate the most yield from their token investments. This move effectively shows how long it’s been since the Initial Coin Offering boom was all that mattered in the crypto space.
One of those bright ideas put forward was by Andre Cronje, whose design philosophy mapped the creation of the now-famous YFI. To put YFI’s achievement in a sentence, YFI amassed its fanbase when it achieved 2000% APR, and it managed to hold a 100+% APR return rate for quite a while before newer models and strategies grabbed their own share of the limelight.
Using the idea as a base model, many experts are in their workshops redesigning what is now popularly known as a yield farming optimizer (YFO). The YFO is essentially a yield farming protocol created to maximize profit by shifting invested digital assets around in target circles to provide a level of liquidity that provides the highest paying yield opportunities.
A perfect example of such a successful redesign is JFI by the Justpool finance team. The team deployed JFI as the yield farming optimizer on the Tron platform with numerous pools on JustSwap, to begin with. The change led to an increase in net profit and reduced gas fees for participation in the liquidity provision on the JustSwap platform.
We can see the purpose of a yield farming optimizer in two points:
First, there’s a baiting fee termed ‘trading fees’ that the platform can now employ to draw in liquidity providers. This incentive favors both the system leaders and liquidity providers.
JFI staking can then become executable on as many as 21,000 tokens to achieve an exponential return on profit as liquidity factors in. Of course, this comes along with voting and governance rights to widen the scope of Defi yield farming on the JustPool finance platform.
In their system, the community oversees governing the $JFI, and the rules are set so that token earnings can only be through mining as there are no plans for ICOs, and pre-mines are also out of the equation. Other system governors might want to keep a hold on some of their tokens, but claiming to open the total number of tokens to the community has proven to be the fastest way to draw liquidity catalysts in.
The $JFI yield farming pools have also been set to be mined in as little as 10 weeks. The strategy is to mine three pools that contain an equal number of tokens (7000 each) weekly, with half to be mined in the first week, before an estimation on the half of that number is mined in the following week. The progression continues with half of the present week mined in the next until the ten weeks are over. Subsequently, the team will share the liquidity stakes as a reward to all miners in each pool.
The execution of a yield farming optimizer such as this provides interesting insight towards the future of DeFi. After all, an increase in the probability of earning profit is always welcome, and where the profit yield grows, is where you’ll see liquidity investors.

How to use Honeyswap to Provide Liquidity | HNY xDai Pool Rewards
Welcome to this crypto video and quick blog post about 1Hive's Honeyswap decentralized exchange. With Ethereum network getting clogged and having transaction fees in the $5 to $20 range, many people and dapplications are looking for alternatives.
One such alternative is the xDai chain which can be used with 1Hive's Honeyswap. The xDai chain is appealing because it is still using the Ethereum blockchain as a sidechain/sister chain. Opposed to a blockchain such as Tron which is a separate crypto blockchain all together.
Transacting and swapping on the xDai chain is a considerable amount cheaper and faster then the Main Ethereum network.
We will start at the stage as if you already have a metamask wallet and some Ethereum in it.
Steps to use xDai chain, xDai bridge, and 1Hives Honeyswap platform
Step 1:
Connect your wallet to the Ethereum sidechain/sisterchain - the xDai Network
If you do not do this then you may see this error "Wrong Network" when trying to use Honeyswap. If you get this and you are looking at how to fix the error then you simply need to connect to the xDai network using the steps above.
Step 2:
Buy Dai on Ethereum chain and convert to xDai on xDai chain
Buy Dai on Uniswap
Switch back to the Eth Network in your Metamask wallet
Convert Ethereum to Dai using Uniswap or another exchange.
Transfer your Dai on the Ethereum Network to xDai on the xDai Network. You need to use a bridge to do this. You can use this bridge here: https://dai-bridge.poa.network/).
Make sure you are using the Ethereum network in Metamask to send. Like wise if you were trying to send xDai back into Dai you would be using the xDai network to send back. Be a bit patient here as it takes a few minutes for your xDai to appear in your wallet.
If you have xDai shown on the left (as per the screen below) then you are using the xDai network in Metamask and need to switch back.
Step 3:
Add liquidity to a pool (we will add to the xDai / HNY pool)
Buy Honey (HNY) on honeyswap. The pool is about 50/50 xDai and HNY so consider this before choosing how much to swap. (be sure to leave atleast 1 xDai in your wallet as it is used for gas fees similar to how Eth is used for gas fees on Ethereum. https://info.honeyswap.org/token/0x71850b7e9ee3f13ab46d67167341e4bdc905eef9
Add to the HNY xDai pair
Click on pool > Add Liquidity
Choose both xDai and HNY as a pair
Confirm and pay for the transactions. Be sure to also click 'Supply' after the swap is 'Approved' to put your pair in the pool to provide liquidity. After you should see something like this showing you your pool allocations.
Great! now you are providing liquidity to the HNY xDai pair on 1Hives Honeyswap. You may be wondering what you get for doing this? For example on Uniswap you get UNI tokens for staking your digital assets. Likewise on Honeyswap you get rewarded for providing liquidity.
How do you get and claim your rewards? How do you know what token the rewards are being paid out in and at what weekly rate or APY? Where are the rewards displayed on the Honeyswap site?

DeFi leader Uniswap, has stepped it up with a governance token of their own – UNI. As expected of such a behemoth of a platform, they have big aspirations. Aspirations that are well encapsulated by the one billion coins stocked for release over the next four years.
To Uniswap, this is a chance to reward their community members, investors, present/future employees, and advisers with a planned token allocation of 60%, 17.8%, 21.51%, and 0.69%, respectively. In doing so, they follow the recent trend of protocol teams dishing out governance rights in exchange for the much-desired liquidity.
Since its launch, the UNI has not been immune to the market cap’s price volatility. Within 48 hours, the UNI token price soared as high as $8.00 as Uniswap users grabbed their share of airdropped tokens, in the following days it settled around $4.00.
However, it’s still early days for this new token, and the attractive $4.00 current market price per token has catalyzed widespread belief that this token can end up becoming DeFi’s next golden project.
The four-year vesting cycle is adjudged to be worth around $600 million in potential yields for the 17.8% (178 million tokens of UNI) to be shared to the investors.

The initial buzz around Decentralised finance (DeFi) has become the backdrop of yield farming recently, and for good reason. Yield farming promises dreamlike returns on capital investments in platforms like Curve, Synthetix, Balancer, and of course, Compound. These returns can reach 100% APR on ETH, comp, random, and other stablecoins. It suffices to say that the idea of yield farming epitomizes earning money while you sleep, but only if you're doing it right.
In the beginning, yield farmers simply made the most of the flattering attempts by new big names like Synthetix to enable liquidity providers to circulate their native tokens. They accomplished this through their synthetic ETH token (sETH), using Uniswap DEX. The bait was that adding liquidity to the targeted sETH trading pool and staking Uniswap deposits called Uniswap sETH LP tokens, would profit the investor with SNX ( the Synthetix token) as well as trading charges earned from the Uniswap platform.
Following that trend on various DEXs, Synthetix currently gives back the most SNX returns at (about 48,000 SNX) every week through the Curve DEX. Meanwhile, other protocol teams have copied that style, with the COMP tokens smashing various records after debuting as governance-tokens-on-sale recently.
On that note, the most experienced experts in the world of yield farming have released a few trade secrets that will change your approach towards yield farming for the best profits. Here's what they have to say:
Learn all you can about 100% APR – Arthur Cheong
By taking the time to meticulously borrow tokens that'll yield the most COMP, farmers have learned to supercharge their proceeds. This leverage borrowing system relies on the market-based distribution formula for the COMP token, and channels like InstaDapp has made that whole ordeal a more straightforward one.
The beauty of this strategy is in its continuity since liquidity providers can just hop on to the next scarce token after heating up to its maximum potential. This is evident in how most liquidity providers have moved onto less popular pieces like ZRX and BAT tokens after gaining weight on USDT.
Divide and plunder – Degen Spartan
Instead of looking at the juicy fruits on offer with the movement to COMP, you can capitalize on the resultant gaps in token space that have made niche strategies a bigger market for those willing to try. All you have to do is invest some stablecoins into the sUSD Curve pool, for example, and you'll be happy with more than an extra 20% APY in SNX after you throw the token into the Synthetix Mintr incentives contract.
Low-rate capital – Jake Brukhman, Founder and Managing Director of CoinFund
This has profit written all over it, but farmers will need to dig in their heels to weed out the really 'big fish' opportunity. There are many lending platforms offering capital at interest rates that go well below 0.1% - some are even available at 0%. There's also the exuberance of early protocol teams that promise sky-high APYs to consider. Of course, your assets, luck, and risk-taking threshold determine your prospects, but the odds are really good.
Don't forget the roots - Lasse Clausen
Little success in enabling liquidity for rewards can derail farmers from the basics of yield farming. One has to continually remember that yield farming is all about providing exposure for these tokens at their early stages in order to seize on their potential. While this means there's always some reinvestment to be done, the endless possibilities are why yield farming is so exciting anyways.

Agricultural yield refers to the amount of food harvested. Likewise, followers of the DeFi movement have created the term “yield farming” to refer to a similarly exponential growth of interest on a foundational cryptocurrency stash. These yields come about when assets like USDT, USDC, and Dai are utilized on a DeFi platform such as Compound.
The introduction of a distribution system for the COMP governance token by Compound has further blown up the relatively new yield farming space, completely transformed the field of DeFi, and definitively made Compound the biggest DeFi project. The COMP token is now by far the most valuable DeFi token owing to the swift and massive migration of traders to the Compound platform for COMP “farming.”
Yield farming is this year’s most significant “discovery” in DeFi. It has caused several crypto enthusiasts to shift their focus to yield farming activities via DeFi projects like Sythetix, Balancer, and Curve. However, the ideas surrounding yield farming are not entirely new, but the sudden widespread realization and interest in them definitely is.
For better understanding, let’s delve deeper into some of the hottest yield farming tokens and trends.
COMP Farming
The Compound platform is providing a four-year “liquidity mining” offer for liquidity providers. The aim is to reward all borrowers and suppliers of assets on the platform via a proportionate allotment of COMP within this period, with 2,880 tokens allocated daily. This new approach is drawing in a lot of traders who are transferring their crypto assets to the platform to yield-farm COMP allocations.
Furthermore, some other DeFi projects are also promoting COMP yield farming in various ways. For instance, InstaDApp, a smart wallet project, has added a “Maximize $COMP mining” widget to allow users to get in on the action with a few clicks. Basically, this is mining with an advantage. Traders can deposit or borrow assets to gain more COMP. These same actions can be performed manually, but a smart wallet like InstaDApp eases COMP yield farming, and it only takes a couple of clicks.
BAL Farming
Instead of the 1:1 pools that Uniswap uses, Balancer, a newer automated-market maker (AMM), lets users create liquidity pools made up of several ERC20 tokens, which makes it more flexible. The designers of Balancer seek a completely decentralized governance that is also capable of doing some bootstrapping. Hence, the platform has just initiated its own liquidity mining campaign, with BAL as its governance token.
So far, 100 million BAL tokens have been minted, with up to 65 million allocated to reward liquidity providers. Currently, 145,000 BAL tokens are distributed to Balancer’s liquidity providers every week, which has attracted a lot of traders interested in yield-farming BAL rewards.
sUSD Liquidity Trial
In March this year, Sythetix commenced its own incentive program for traders of sUSD, the platform’s native stablecoin, via the iearn and Curve exchange protocols. It began with a four-week test campaign aimed at distributing 32,000 SNX tokens proportionately to liquidity providers staking their Curve LP tokens.
Users were to deposit sUSD along with another supported stablecoin like Dai, USDT, or USDC into iearn and, in turn, receive an allotment of Curve.fi sUSD/y.curve.fi tokens. They could then take their tokens to Mintr, the decentralized minting hub of the Sythetix platform, and stake them to qualify for the trial SNX awards.
The driving concept was that traders get a regular pool of APY as well as SNX incentives for supplying liquidity to the platform. It was a very appealing campaign for yield farmers to earn interests on their lodged assets and their liquid assets that they could sell instantly on any DEX and make profits.
The Curve-Ren-Synthetix Farming Meld
One other highly rewarding yield farming prospect owes to the recent partnership between Sythetix, Curve, and Ren, an interoperability project. It’s a rewarding BTC ERC20 liquidity pool set to run for ten weeks.
The exceptional set-up of the system allows users that provide WBTC, sBTC, and renBTC liquidity to the pool to earn SNX, REN, CRV (the upcoming Curve reward token), and BAL. That is nothing short of paradise to a yield farmer.
Is it really possible? Yes. Firstly, the combined teams of Ren and Sythetix have designed a Balancer pool made up of REN and SNX tokens. The pool is to generate both BAL from the liquidity mining campaign of the Balancer platform and liquidity provider rewards in BPT form, which is basically a wrap combo of REN and SNX.
Futureswap
Promoted as being adequate for both yield farmers and traders, Futureswap is a decentralized futures exchange where users also get rewarded for providing liquidity. Although the project is yet to be officially launched, a three-day Alpha test ran at the start of the year.
In just three days of running, owing to the remarkably high demand for the platform, the Futureswap team had to shut down the test for caution’s sake. Nonetheless, those who experienced the exchange attested to its great potential. The team’s analysis reported that the high volume during the Alpha test “translated into the outperforming of holding equal value amounts of ETH/DAI for liquidity providers of over 550% annually.” Now, here’s a margin that will be sure to get a yield farmer at the edge of their seat.
Bottom Line
The realization of yield farming has transformed the DeFi arena in such a short time, and its exciting prospects will be sure to keep drawing crypto traders in for a long time. However, as with all other forms of trading and mining, there are risks involved. Yield farming comes with both smart contract risks and liquidation risks, and so you should never farm using funds that you’re afraid to lose. Curiosity is welcome, but recklessness isn’t. The yield farming movement is here to stay, and so there should be no rush.

7 High Commission DeFi Affiliate Programs You Should Sign Up For
For a while now, access to passive income has defined those who can achieve their dreams and those who cannot. On the one hand, some still think putting in hard work will earn them that dream vacation to the Caribbean, the other group are smartly selling their time to make sure they get on the next plane there.
Over the past decade, the latter school of thought has produced too many success stories to count, with smart investments producing millionaires without number – a great percentage of which have come from the advent of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).
As cryptocurrencies gain value with each passing day, all it takes to be successful is to attach yourself to a working model for DeFi passive income to rake in some cash while you sleep.
Here are the seven hottest DeFi affiliate programs you can check out today.
ByBit has soared in popularity over the past few years, with the ByBit’s DeFi affiliate program social media marketing campaign turning up as a huge success among derivative cryptocurrency exchanges. The $90 welcome bonus makes joining an easy choice, while the pyramid-strategy for its DeFi referral program has made moneymaking even easier for ByBit affiliates.
ByBit affiliates make referral earnings not only from people they refer directly but also generations of people referred by their referrals. Affiliates at the third level get 10% off trading fees, and extremely successful affiliates that bring in high-volume traders get commissions that could reach 35%.
Ledger
One DeFi affiliate program that places your future in your hands is Ledger. As the premier DeFi affiliate program right now, Ledger affiliates enjoy conversion rates exceeding 50%, which is directly beneficial since they get a dollar commission for every 10 dollars sold.
Also, depending on whether the affiliate joins directly or not, you can choose how you earn. Using the Awin.com registers your earning in cash while using the direct Ledger DeFi affiliate program records earnings in BTC. The payout must reach a $50 threshold before affiliates can withdraw.
Originally a trading platform for cryptos, Paxful has recently developed a friendly platform for affiliate earning. The Paxful affiliate team has a pleasant reputation for improving the experience, and their DeFi referral program pays out 10% in commissions for every level 2 bitcoin purchase that an affiliate refers. That generous system lets you in on commissions from the referred purchases that affiliates you refer would normally only benefit from. Affiliates also get to keep half of the exchange fees when a referred buyer orders bitcoin through the Paxful platform, so there are many ways to get income.
Being the first bus stop for the majority of people’s first foray into cryptocurrency certainly has its perks. Chief of them is the fact that affiliates can guide the newcomers to their benefit – which is worth 50% in commissions for trading fees done within the first 90 days after joining the Coinbase affiliate program.
There is no cap on the number of referrals. While you enjoy the customized DeFi referral program campaign reports and tracking, you continue to get 10% of every purchase from your referred purchases.
Coinmama
Reliable is not a word you throw around in crypto-space, and that’s why Coinmama is worth her mention in this list. Since its launch in 2013, the Israel-based crypto exchange platform has become a reliable moneymaker for crypto enthusiasts. Coinmama offers a lifetime exchange commission of 15% through an in-house DeFi affiliate program on its web application. The fact that the commission on trading fees is valid for a lifetime more than makes up for the numbers that might not be as impressive as the competition. Coinmama’s worldwide appeal – Coinmama boasts support in more than 189 countries – can prove to be a good platform for any DeFi referral program you’re looking to stack sats with.
Changelly
Changelly has as many platform users as Coinmama despite joining the cryptocurrency exchange market much later, which is a testament to Changelly’s excellent experience. The round-the-clock live support, transparent rates, and easy-to-use platform make the DeFi affiliate program an easier choice for people looking to get more from DeFi.
Changelly also presents an irresistible offer in her DeFi referral program - Affiliates earn commissions at 50% for every referred user. Even popular media channels like Coin Gecko and CoinTelegraph have found that offer hard to pass up.
Trezor is a hardware wallet like Ledger that allows you to store cryptocurrency assets offline. Affiliates find Trezor an excellent DeFi affiliate program, despite its averagely impressive 12% commission on referrals, because of how popular Trezor is in crypto-space. After all, everyone in the crypto market will need a hardware wallet at some point, so being an affiliate of the most popular one is not a bad idea.
These seven DeFi affiliate programs have kept up good work for a respectable period, although some new names like the upcoming HASHWallet affiliate program may likely give them a good fight soon enough. Until then, make the most of them!

6 Most Profitable Yield Farming Platforms – Blockchain Cryptocurrencies
The latest craze in the finance world is undoubtedly cryptocurrency. The monstrous growth of Ethereum and Bitcoin assets over the past year has become the only shining light in what the Queen would have already (but understandably) written off as an ‘Annus horribilis.’
The doubters have become blind believers. And even newbies with no idea of what tokens are, assert to their friends and families that cryptocurrency is everybody’s path to financial freedom.
Of course, while they might be right that the future is here, the end to that story is predictable by now. If these people don’t find the true source of the crypto heat – yield farming – it will be another sad tale of falling victim to the numerous get-rich-quick schemes out there.
Indeed, yield farming is one of the few channels that offer the window of opportunity for investment in crypto in the craziest of ways. Either by lending or borrowing, many people have figured out ways to take advantage of yield farming. On that note, here are the six farms that currently yield the most:
One doesn’t rant about yield farming post-lockdown without paying tribute to the legendary DeFi Comp tokens. Since her debut on June 15, 2020, the value of the tokens has risen as high as $200, shocking Compound’s team and investors, and that momentum is not looking like it will run out of steam anytime soon.
The Compound protocol banked on creating activity on the platform by just giving away the tokens daily, and the world responded. After all, who wouldn’t develop an interest in a deposit that yields benefits even if you were the one taking the loan? What’s better? You can stack the yields by lending out what you borrowed from what you had initially lent out, all to multiply your yield — a true game-changer in the world of ‘Compound’ interests.
Unlike Compound, Binance is a crypto margin lending platform. That means it serves as the emergency reserve for traders looking to open leverage positions that will require more capital than they can afford at the time. Binance offers people with idle cryptos the option of giving out loans at ‘meh’ interest rates (around 0.83% for ETH).
Margin lending is a volatile business since the yield fluctuates based on the demand and supply of the loans. Then again, which part of cryptocurrency isn’t watery?
BlockFi
If you’re looking for a more profitable yield farming platform than Binance, then BlockFi is the fastest solution. Simply put, BlockFi offers 4.5% interest rates for ETH loans (where Binance offers 0.83%) and 6% for BTC (where Binance offers 0.75%). The only minor drawback is that BlockFi is a lot stricter than their counterparts, requiring KYC validation, among other certifications that can be such a hassle. Get through all that, though, and you get better deals.
Another alternative to margin lending platforms is NEXO, which uses a centralized lending system. The centralized nature of the loan origination makes the interest rates more stable since the stability puts the interest rates out of the hands of market forces and under the control of the system. For the lenders and users, that’s great news as it affords greater interest rates.
People more adept with the nature of cryptocurrencies can venture into the world of stakable currencies. The deal is that by helping a blockchain to stay secure (or by ‘staking’), you get rewards. COSMOS is one of the big boys in that world, and the platform has amassed a serious following in the past year, with its 8.3% interest rate drawing people in by the minute.
Compound might be the hottest player in the DeFi Universe right now, but it all began with Synthetix. Right now, Synthetix accounts for more than one billion dollars locked away in their crypto vault. Staking a blockchain is a way of earning greater investments in currencies with potential, and thus, requires absolute caution. but the 53.79% interest rate that Synthetix promises has made millions of people throw their caution to the wind.
So, there they are, the biggest yield farms waiting for you to sow your financial seeds. The probability of success and failure is as predictable as the number of times you’ll blink tomorrow, but what’s life without a little risk?

Best Way To Buy and Sell Cryptocurrency | Uniswap, Metamask, Kyber Network
Central exchanges are becoming a thing of the past. The crypto community has begun using decentralized exchanges such as Uniswap. Decentralized exchanges have evolved to become more user friendly, less restrictive, and more secure.
With centralized exchanges, there is always the risk that your account will be frozen, or your private keys will be stolen. With Uniswap you are able to trade right from your hardware wallet or browser extension such as Metamask.
If you are using a centralized exchange it may be because you are not educated enough in crypto to understand the difference between a centralized and decentralized exchange. It is important in the crypto industry to stay on top of new technology and where the industry is heading.

Blockchain Liquidity Protocol in DeFi | Kyber Network
Welcome to this crypto and blockchain video posted by Kyber Network. In this video you learn about Kyber Network in a quick but informative visual animated graphic.
Katalyst is changing many things to do with how the Kyber Network works. In the new system 'reserve managers' are going to be paying no fee and instead they will be receiving rebates. These rebates will be a percent of the network fee that's going to be sent directly to those who are providing liquidity. This in-turn incentives liquidity. The previous/current model did not incentivize liquidity because the reserve managers actually paid to provide the liquidity. Which greatly cut into profits for the participants of the network.
Why is more liquidity good?
You want to provide more liquidity because more liquidity means less slippage, more competitiveness, bringing more users, which creates a better ecosystem, that generates more fees generated from higher transaction volume.
Dapp integrations and new fee model
In the previous/current model 30% of fees are given to the decentralized application integrators. Once the Katalyst upgrade has been implemented into Kyber Network the new protocol will allow for dapp integrators to set their own fees. The fee percentage will no longer be set in stone in the smart contract and will be a variable that the dapp integrators can play with on top of the base rate.
How do KNC holders benefit from Katalyst upgrade
KNC holders are going to benefit from this upgrade because they are the one's who will be doing the voting in the KyberDAO. Katalyst revolves around the KyberDAO a decentralized autonomous organization in which a group of governors can vote on various things to do with the network and protocol.
KNC holders stake their KNC tokens in the KyberDAO and get a voting weight based on their staked holdings. The weight is how much power or say you have on whatever you are voting for. An example is if you have 20 KNC and the total supply was say 200, you have 10% weight and you are voting for 10% of the entire network. You can vote on things such as fee governance.
Katalyst rewards - Burn vs Inflation
Through Kyber Network transactions the fees are dispersed back to the KNC holders as per the weightings of staked tokens and at the same time a percentage of tokens are burned from the total supply. Because the tokens are burned there are less in circulation which makes the remainder of the tokens more valuable.
Other staking platforms do not burn tokens but release more tokens into the supply which creates inflation. This is still a reward and you are receiving more tokens, but inflation makes the circulating supply increase which intern decreases the value of the existing tokens.
With Kyber Network there is no inflation, the network is sustained just on the network fees generated. It is actually a deflationary supply. With the Katalyst upgrade KNC holders will have voting rights on the percentage of tokens that get burned and the percentage of fees. The Katalyst upgrade gives KNC holders more say on the governance of the Kyber Network.
