Published on: 18.12.2022

Yield Yak Collaboration with GMX up to $100k in AVAX Avalanche Rush rewards.

Avalanche’s top two DeFi protocols, Yield Yak and GMX, have announced a number of partnerships that will assist both ecosystems develop and better synchronize the two communities going forward.

TL;DR

Avalanche Rush comes to Yield Yak

Launched in August 2021 by the Avalanche Foundation as a liquidity mining incentive program, Avalanche Rush aims to expand the Avalanche Ecosystem, with $4 Million in AVAX allocated to support GMX. Via this allocation, Rush is arriving at Yield Yak with up to $100k in AVAX rewards for its GLP vault.

Depositors will get rewards proportionately over four months. The vault’s 7-day average TVL will decide the month’s prizes. Avalanche GMX traders profit from TVL milestone rewards, which drive GLP development throughout the ecosystem.

Yield Yak’s Approach to GLP

Yield Yak’s GLP vault depositors get esGMX without vesting it, increasing their GLP payouts (which requires staking a significant amount of GMX).  The method benefits GMX and Yield Yak users.

About GLP

GMX’s liquidity provider token, GLP, receives 70% of the protocol’s blockchain fees. GLP’s value depends on many things, including the platform’s liquidity pool tokens. BTC.b, WETH, and AVAX make up the GLP pool’s remaining 50%. When leverage traders lose, GLP holders win, and vice versa.
