Announcement: Algem Liquid Farming is here!

:champagne: After the long anticipated arrival Algem Liquid Farming is here!

This isn’t just another product; it’s a powerful tool that unlocks new opportunities and today, we’ll explain why along with key benefits. Just before we finish we’ll explain how you can start earning during the bootstrap phase from our first vaults right away, so let’s dive in!


:person_raising_hand: What is Liquid Farming?

Unlike traditional liquidity pools, where tokens are locked, Liquid Farming provides lfETH—liquid tokens that can be used in DeFi protocols, traded, or held until vault expiration to redeem ETH. It combines the best of both worlds: farming rewards and liquidity freedom.


:heavy_plus_sign: Can you give us an example of how it works?

Sure! Let’s take the WETH/yaySTONE pair on Velodrome as an example:

1. You deposit 1 ETH and approximately 1 yaySTONE into the vault.
2. The liquidity is sent to Velodrome.
3. You receive 1 lfETH, equivalent to your ETH deposit.
4. You will start earning trading fees from the WETH/yaySTONE pair plus ALGM incentives proportional to your share in the vault.
5. Use your lfETH, for example, by adding it to an ETH/lfETH pool for additional fees.
6. After vault expiration (or anytime before), you can withdraw your liquidity.


:key: Key Benefits of Liquid Farming:

• Adaptable solutions with zero locked funds! Instantly grab liquid lETH, perfect for trading or diving into DeFi strategies within the Soneium ecosystem.

• Reap diverse rewards: enjoy a slice of trading fees, ALGM incentives, and farming bonuses for every vault you leverage.

• Hedge like a pro! Sell lfETH at a discount if you anticipate an ETH price dip.

• Multiply your earnings: simply add lfETH to pools or hold onto it until expiration for lucrative returns.


:shopping: To make the Liquid Farming launch even more rewarding, we’ve prepared generous incentives to each vault for a total of four months for early participants:

• WETH/yaySTONE – 200,000 ALGM
• WETH/yayAgETH – 55,097 ALGM
• ETH/wstETH – 4,000 ALGM

Rewards are distributed daily (ERA) based on your liquidity share and the more you deposit, the more ALGM you earn.
