Saber is excited to announce the 2021 Q4 Roadmap, including staking and voting, dual yields, additional LP token utility, and analytics.

Saber did an exciting accomplishment for Q3. The protocol introduced a number of new assets and pools, including the first Polygon asset stable pool and the first Celo USD pool on Solana. Saber partnered with Port Finance to maintain SBR tokens as collateral for lending and worked with Grape Protocol to launch a Discord community for SBR holders. Additionally, Saber’s liquidity mining contracts integrated the Quarry Protocol to improve the composability and efficiency of liquidity mining.

Saber also launched the open-source StableSwap SDK last quarter and worked with numerous teams building on it in the latest Solana Hackathon. Also, Saber crossed the milestone of #1 TVL DeFi protocol on Solana.

The community is looking forward to the release of the following features of Q4.

🔰 Staking and Voting

In Q4, Saber will release contracts for SBR holders to stake their SBR tokens for voting rights. Community members will receive votes in proportion to how much SBR they stake, linearly scaled by the length of their SBR lockup, to empower long term stewards of the protocol to have a large say in governance. To enable seamless governance, Saber contributors are collaborating with other teams on Solana to build snapshot voting architecture this quarter.

🔰 Dual Yields

Due to the aforementioned partnership with Quarry Protocol, Saber farms will integrate dual yields with the upcoming launch of Quarry’s Merge Mine functionality. The first dual yields to be launched in Q4 will be for UST, MNDE, and LDO, and further dual yield partnerships will be easy to integrate.

🔰 LP Token Utility

Saber is currently partnering with a leading lending protocol on Solana to enable Saber LP tokens as collateral for lending in Q4. Saber LP tokens, LPs for USD stablecoins especially, have the potential to be a strong interest-bearing alternative to traditional stablecoins on Solana. Saber contributors envision Saber stable LP tokens becoming key building blocks for a number of applications in DeFi including lending, margin trading, and savings accounts.

🔰 Analytics

Finally, Saber is working with a number of great analytics teams including Serum Pulse,  Aleph, and ChainCrunch, to create frontend dashboards that give more insights into volume, unique addresses using Saber, and change in TVL over time among other statistics

🔰 Content

In Q4, contributors plan to release more Saber content across a number of channels. Beyond the research papers outlined in the last update, community members have begun creating animated educational videos, (stay tuned for an animated explanation of Proof of History this quarter), Saber Audius playlists, and more content to help grow the Solana and Saber communities.
