Rift partners with Origin Protocol
Rift partners with Origin Protocol, Fantom, and Aurora to deepen liquidity for their DAO governance tokens on Ethereum. The FTM, OGN, and AURORA Vaults will open for ETH deposits from the public on June 21 at 2 PM ET. Liquidity providers on Rift earn doubled returns and downside loss protection. Additionally, LPs will be able to claim a POAP to commemorate their participation in the first Rift Vaults on Ethereum.
Introducing Rift Finance
Liquidity mining is a toxic process that aims to solve a critical pain point for DAOs but falls short. Furthermore, instead of sustainably deepening governance token liquidity, liquidity mining forces DAOs to deplete their treasuries to mercenary capital, pushing market cap and token price downward at the expense of community members.
Additionally, Rift has developed a novel solution to this prevalent problem. By rethinking the incentives around liquidity provisioning, Rift allows profit-motivated liquidity providers and liquidity-motivated DAOs to work collaboratively, deepening token liquidity while offering LPs amplified returns and impermanent loss protection. In addition, DAOs deposit their governance tokens into a Rift vault which pairs with capital from LPs and deploys on a DEX to increase liquidity for the pair.
Vault Details
Rift allows DAOs to customize their protocol-owned liquidity strategy as an alternative to toxic liquidity mining, through the use of APY floors and lockup periods.
Fantom, Origin, and Aurora will open three Rift Vaults each for their governance tokens. These Vaults will vary in APY floors and lockup periods. In addition, APY floors for the Vaults will range from 4.5% to 6% and are set as an additional measure of protection for liquidity providers. Now, with the new APY floor feature, DAOs have set higher protection standards to allow LPs to withdraw at least the APY floor in the event the Vault incurs an impermanent loss, except in the most extreme cases.
How to Participate
Starting June 21, 2022, at 2 PM ET, the Rift Vaults will open for public deposit. Liquidity providers in these Vaults will be whitelisted for an exclusive POAP to commemorate the launch of Rift’s first public Vaults on Ethereum.
Browse the available Vaults and use the “Earn” portal to deposit ETH into the Vaults.
