To provide its community with a vibrant virtual marketplace, the Avalanche-based DEX Pangolin will integrate Pollen Integration with Pangolin future Leagues PRO module.

Pangolin Exchange is the first partner to sign up for Leagues PRO, a B2B upgrade to Pollen Leagues. The Pangolin Exchange league is in closed beta and will be available through Leagues PRO’s NFT ticketing system when online.

Pangolin’s league will be among the first branded Pollen leagues to launch in 2022. Leagues PRO provides other crypto companies and communities with the sandbox, toolsuite, and processes needed to hold trading tournaments and open up new income sources.

“Leagues PRO directly supports Pollen’s mission to create a hivemind propelled by trading communities from across crypto. Incentivizing these communities to share their know-how through competition and rewarding them accordingly — in PLN, other prizes, and now NFTs and a share of league revenues too — is vital to our success, so we’re thrilled to have the support of Pangolin in this,” said Philip Verrien, Co-founder of Pollen.

Early 2022, Pollen and Pangolin partnered to list PLN on Pangolin Exchange. Leagues PRO by Pangolin strengthens this partnership.

Investing in a zero-coupon bond and a risky asset alternative (e.g., ETH) creates a principal protected note in TradFi.

Investors always receive 100% of their initial money back, no matter how badly the option performs. If the underlying performs well, returns might surpass original investment. Blue line route yields 20%, whereas orange yields 0%.

Creating the zero coupon or fixed rate asset is the first challenge in creating such structures, and Struct.fi is focused on that use case before moving on to the structuring. As they stated in their seed round announcement,

Struct Finance will use this fresh injection of capital to build the tools for institutions to easily customize interest rate products and compose them with options to construct structured products better-suited to the profiles of different investors.

Fixed rate methods are common on other chains and have entered Avalanche.

Struct uses as an example the USDX-AVAX pool on TraderJoe. A saver can receive a 15% fixed yield for three months on a USD-pegged stablecoin deposit, without taking impermanent loss risk.

The floating tokenholder gets a leveraged position in the yield farm, while taking extra risk to the AVAX token. Effectively the fixed rate investor is financing the leverage to term.

At current Trader Joe AVAX-USDC pool yields, Struct’s example yield token offers an annualized 55% return over the three months.

While there are many different ways to split yields, Struct’s tech resembles Ondo Finance on Ethereum, where TVL has been growing rapidly.

Pollen DeFi — Crypto funds, for everyone

On Pollen, anyone can become a “Pollenator”, and set up a portfolio — permissionlessly and at low cost — by simply staking native PLN tokens. “Delegators” can stake their PLN with any manager. Both will earn PLN tokens if the portfolio does well. Tokens will be burned if not.

Once Pollen’s asset-backed indexes feature is live later this year, investors will be able to buy into portfolios set up and managed by top Pollenators via index tokens. These portfolios will be on-chain, transparent, and, perhaps most importantly, low cost.

Not only are there no running management fees, gas fees can be shared amongst all investors. Additionally, index managers and investors will be splitting profits (or losses) 80/20, so sharing both rewards and risk.
