Stella’s initial integration involves the use of the following Chainlink Price Feeds: ETH/USD, ARB/USD, USDT/USD, USDC/USD, and BTC/USD. They chose Chainlink because its infrastructure is seamless to integrate and time-tested in production.

Stella’s mission is to redefine how leveraged DeFi works. DeFi needs a good leverage system in order to drive more usage to DEXs and money markets, the fundamental building blocks of DeFi. With the growing usage of these fundamental primitives, new innovations and more protocols can arise and tap into the deep liquidity and robust foundation. Stella’s zero-cost borrow system and Pay-As-You-Earn model, for the first time, align incentives between borrowers and lenders, presenting a new and better way for leveraged DeFi — a way where one party does not lose when the other party gains.

In order to help secure DeFi strategies, Stella needed access to fresh asset prices that are supplied directly on-chain in a highly reliable manner. Fair market asset prices should reflect a volume-weighted average from all trading environments. Thus, it is best to make use of an oracle network to fetch aggregated price data off-chain and deliver it on-chain.

About Stella

This has been long overdue, as liquidity providers on Curve had previously no avenue to trade their earned LDO rewards. This partnership trifecta made up of the largest protocols on Moonbeam would allow users to trade LDO as well as auto-compound their LDO liquidity.

The LDO farm will be live on StellaSwap on 22 Aug, 14:00 UTC.

State of LDO on Moonbeam

At the start of June, Lido finance announced the launch of their stDOT-DOT farm on Moonbeam via Curve. Liquidity providers who staked in their pool would earn LDO, the native token of Lido.

Since then, users who’ve earned LDO rewards couldn’t really trade or do anything since an LDO farm didn’t exist.

Here’s a breakdown of LDO on Moonbeam

• Current LDO Supply on Moonbeam: 314,455 LDO (~$600k)
• No. of LDO Holders on Moonbeam: 585 Addresses

The absence of an LDO farm meant that LDO holders on Moonbeam are forced to bridge their LDO token away from Moonbeam or just hold on to it without doing anything.

StellaSwap has been closely working with Beefy and Lido to facilitate LDO trading on Moonbeam. As the largest DEX on Moonbeam, StellaSwap is proud to be able to work with them in actualizing a highly-awaited farm.

The scope of this trilateral partnership manifests in the following way

1. LDO farm launch on StellaSwap
2. Launch of automated LDO farm (StellaSwap LP) on Beefy

Launch of LDO Farm on StellaSwap

StellaSwap will launch a standard LDO farm, with Lido and Beefy providing initial liquidity of $10,000 into the farm. Additionally, Lido will provide an initial $5,000 worth of LDO incentives to attract users to stake into the farm.

Here are the details of the farm:

• Farm Launch: LDO— GLMR
• Farm Type: Dual-Rewards
• Reward Token: STELLA + LDO
• Launch Date: 22 August| 14:00 UTC

Auto-Compounding LDO Farm on Beefy

Shortly after the LDO farm on StellaSwap, Beefy will launch the LDO farm to allow users to auto-compound their rewards into their LP. Beefy will launch the LDO farm using StellaSwap’s LDO LP. Instead of manually compounding their rewards, Beefy provides an automated way for users to optimize their returns.

Athos Finance Infrastructure

• An issuance protocol for synthetic assets, starting with their over-collateralized stablecoin called athUSD
• A derivatives exchange where synthetic assets can be traded called Athos Exchange
• Single-sided vault for passive yield farming

A key value proposition of Athos is that it provides users with on-chain price exposure through synthetic assets with infinite liquidity and no slippage.

IDO Launchpad Details

Athos will launch their native token, ATH, on StellaSwap through an IDO on its launchpad. This will be the first IDO launchpad for StellaSwap. The expected date of the IDO will be early August.

• Launch of ATH via a fixed-price offering on StellaSwap’s launchpad
• Creation of an incentivized liquidity pool for trading ATH tokens

 Athos Product Suite will consist of three main pillars, Buildr, Exchange & Vault

Athos Buildr

a. Build $athUSD by staking $ATH and other on-chain assets — Athos Buildr is your entryway to the Athos Product Suite. Users can stake $ATH to build $athUSD, the base currency of the Athos Ecosystem. With $athUSD, users can then gain investment exposure to all products within the ecosystem. Eventually, users will also be able to stake other on-chain assets as well once the debt pool is upgraded to multi-collateral.

b. Claim weekly staking rewards in $ATH and a proportion of Athos Exchange trading fees in $athUSD — Users who build $athUSD take on the risk of the debt pool and act as a pooled counter-party against all synthetic asset trades on Athos Finance. Therefore, they are also entitled to weekly staking rewards in $ATH and a portion of Athos Exchange transaction fees, which are claimable as long as their P-ratio is above the Target P-ratio at the time of claiming. Eligible users can collect these rewards with the Claim function in Athos Buildr.

c. Burn $athUSD to unstake your $ATH or manage your pledge ratio — Lastly, The burn function comes in handy when users want to increase their P-ratio without staking additional assets. They can opt to burn the extra $athUSD instead. If users want to unstake assets from the Buildr to exit the system, they can also burn their $athUSD debt to unlock the collateral.

Athos Exchange

1. Trade synthetic assets with infinite liquidity and no slippage
2. Manage all your trading positions under one dashboard

Athos Vault

• Generate passive income with $athUSD
• Farm $ATH and other rewards with LP tokens

ABOUT Athos Finance

Athos Finance is the first decentralized delta-one asset protocol on Moonbeam. It provides users with on-chain price exposure through synthetic assets with infinite liquidity and no slippage.
