SuperStacks Rewards Program Launches Across Optimism Ecosystem
🎮 Liquidity Mining Just Leveled Up
Velodrome and Optimism have launched SuperStacks, a new interoperability-focused rewards program running from April 16 to June 30.
The program allows users to earn XP (redeemable for $OP tokens) by providing liquidity in specific pools across multiple chains:
- OP Mainnet: USDT0/WETH, USDT0/USDT
- Ink: USDT0/WETH, WETH/kBTC
- Soneium: USDT0/ETH
Reward calculations factor in:
- Liquidity amount provided
- Duration of participation
- Additional bonus opportunities
Users can track their progress on the SuperStacks dashboard.
