🎣 BOLD Pool Launches
A new **BOLD stablecoin pool** has launched on Curve Finance, offering liquidity providers attractive yield opportunities. **Key Details:** - Quad pool includes USDFI, USDaf, ebUSD, and BOLD tokens - Available on Ethereum mainnet - **Up to 74% APR** for liquidity depositors **How to Participate:** - Access the pool directly on [Curve Finance](https://www.curve.finance/dex/ethereum/pools/factory-stable-ng-564/withdraw) - Boost yields through [Stake DAO](https://www.stakedao.org/yield?search=lqtyforks) - Choose your preferred frontend at [Liquity](https://www.liquity.org/frontend-v2) This follows previous BOLD yield opportunities, including a quad pool with fxUSD/USDC/USDaf/BOLD that offered around 40% APR. *Consider the risks before providing liquidity to any DeFi protocol.*
🐻 BOLD Yields Drop
**BOLD stablecoin yields on Berachain have decreased significantly** from 282% to 30% APY within a week. Liquidity providers can still earn **30% APY** on the BOLD/NECT/HONEY stable pool through [BeraBorrow](https://app.beraborrow.com/vault/deposit/bex-NECT-BOLD-HONEY). **Key benefits:** - Auto-compounded yields - Additional Infrared Finance points - Stable asset exposure across three tokens The dramatic yield reduction suggests either increased liquidity or reduced reward emissions as the initial "fork rewards season" momentum cools down.
🗳️ LQTY Stakers Vote
LQTY stakers can now vote on a new Merkl PIL initiative to provide **BOLD rewards** for Uniswap V4 liquidity providers. The proposal targets a BOLD/USDC pool on Uniswap V4 with specific reward distribution: - 75% for fees - 20% for BOLD liquidity - 5% for USDC liquidity The initiative aims to: - Boost BOLD demand - Strengthen the peg - Reduce slippage This will test how Uniswap performs against other DEXs like Curve, Ekubo, and Gyroscope. **Time-sensitive**: Only downvotes will be possible starting tomorrow.
