BOLD Stablecoin Rating Methodology Now Available on Pharos Watch

Ambire Wallet has expanded payment options for transaction fees by enabling all users to pay for gas using $BOLD tokens. **Key Details:** - Gas payments with $BOLD now available across the platform - Feature accessible to all Ambire Wallet users - Builds on Ambire's Gas Tank innovation from 2024 **Background:** Ambire pioneered the Gas Tank concept in July 2024, becoming the first wallet to introduce this flexible gas payment mechanism. The addition of $BOLD as a payment option represents the latest evolution of this feature. This update provides users with more flexibility in managing transaction costs without requiring ETH for every operation.

The BOLD/USDC liquidity pool on Uniswap V4 is currently yielding **18% APR**, with rewards paid in BOLD tokens. **Key Details:** - Yield increased from 15% to 18% APR following LQTY voter boost - Rewards distributed in BOLD stablecoin - Additional 0.05% trading fees on top of base yield - Pool operates on Uniswap V4 **Background:** This represents a significant jump from the 10% APR offered in late February. LQTY governance voters recently approved increased rewards for the pool, positioning BOLD as what proponents call the "most censorship-resistant stablecoin." Liquidity providers earn continuous BOLD rewards plus swap fees from trading activity in the pool.
