# Product Updates

Bifrost's Total Value Locked (TVL) reached $27,941,305 this month.

As Polkadot OpenGov Referendum 1890 proposes raising the minimum validator self-bond requirement, vDOT is positioned to benefit from several key advantages:

- Nominators remain fully protected from slashing risk
- Users continue to enjoy a faster exit experience compared to native staking
- Once fast unbonding is implemented, vDOT is expected to achieve tighter vDOT-DOT peg efficiency and create more frequent arbitrage opportunities

The Bifrost community is currently voting on a proposal regarding the [bbBNC reward claiming mechanism](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/196). Community sentiment currently favors Option 3, under which protocol revenue distributed as liquid BNC would be subject to a 30% discount. The proposal remains open for discussion and voting:

Meanwhile, PROS Pixel, a GameFi project developed by Bifrost team members, launched a new Pizza Day Campaign. The event incentivizes activity within designated pizza-themed zones through rotating reward distributions, encouraging users to participate in collaborative pixel art creation.

# Marketing & Community

On May 7, Bifrost Fellowship member Giki attended [Consensus 2026](
https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2052286352977457592
), representing the Bifrost community and engaging with developers, founders, and ecosystem participants from across the industry. During the event, she distributed exclusive Bifrost merchandise and helped strengthen connections within the global Web3 community.

On May 27, Bifrost Product Marketing Lead Tyrone participated in the "[Crypto Vaults, Payments and Real-World Yield](
https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2058735600866627992)" AMA alongside representatives from DigiFT, FOMO Pay, and Amber Group. The discussion focused on the convergence of on-chain yield, payments, and real-world assets, as well as how idle digital assets are evolving into productive, liquid, and spendable financial primitives.

On May 28, Bifrost officially initiated the [interest repayment process](
https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2059937790402707900) for its Polkadot Treasury liquidity loan. The protocol is gradually withdrawing liquidity from the DOT-vDOT pool and redeeming vDOT positions in order to return the full interest generated over the loan period back to the Polkadot Treasury, demonstrating a transparent and accountable use of treasury-backed capital.

# 关于众贷

众贷（Crowdloan）是 Polkadot 开创的一种区块空间竞租方式。平行链项目方通过质押 DOT 来租用 Polkadot 链上的区块空间（体现为“插槽”），这些 DOT 可以通过众筹的方式向社区租借，即为“众贷”。尽管 Gavin 已经提出了更加灵活的区块空间买卖方式 — — Polkadot 2.0。但在其上线之前，Polkadot 依旧还会沿用插槽拍卖的方式。

助力 Bifrost Polkadot 插槽续拍，质押 1 DOT 获得 8 BNC

[Bifrost](https://bifrost.finance/) is a dedicated Liquid Staking middle layer built on Substrate, powered by Polkadot, providing non-custodial decentralized cross-chain liquid tokens for staked assets.

Presently, Bifrost holds a combined Total Value Locked (TVL) of $90 Million across multiple chains and introduces innovative solutions such as:

- **SLPx**: Enables cross-chain automated minting, redemption, and utilization of liquidity, primarily focused on the Bifrost chain.
- **vTokens Support for Governance**: The first liquid staking assets within the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, enabling governance functionalities on their parent chains.

In May 2022, Bifrost secured its Polkadot slot auction and successfully onboarded as a Polkadot parachain, operating seamlessly for over a year and a half. 

With just six months left in the current parachain lease period, we have launched a new round of crowdloans to secure **Parachain Auction #61**.

#### New Parachain Auction Details

**Contribute 1 DOT ~> Get 8 $BNC**

This auction round extends an open invitation to all Bifrost and Polkadot supporters: For every 1 DOT contributed to the crowdloan, participants will receive 8 BNC, **UNTIL SOFT-CAP (30K DOT) IS REACHED!**

#### How to join

- Log on to [Bifrost’s vCrowdloan page](https://bifrost.app/vcrowdloan?network=polkadot) and scroll down to find the Bifrost Crowdloan Section.
- Click on “Contribute”.
- Choose the amount of DOT to allocate.
- Hit the Confirmation button.

![Crowdloan Page 1.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Crowdloan_Page_1_ab8702559c.png)

#### Caps

**The Soft Cap is 30,000 DOT**.

This means that only the first 30,000 DOT contributed will be eligible for BNC rewards in this crowdloan. Upon surpassing this threshold, any additional DOT contributed won’t qualify for BNC rewards.

**The Hard Cap is 300,000 DOT**.

Once the allocated DOT hit the Hard Cap, the crowdloan will end.

#### How to contribute

Users can contribute to the Bifrost Crowdloan through different means. These include:

- [Bifrost vCrowdloan](https://bifrost.app/vcrowdloan?network=polkadot) is the first option is the recommended one, as it helps to preserve liquidity for the duration of the crowdloan. After contributing DOT, users receive the vsTokens, which can be traded on the secondary market or used for liquidity mining to earn profits.
- [Polkadot JS](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.polkadot.io#/parachains/crowdloan) will directly lock users’ DOT on-chain for 98 weeks.
- Desktop wallets such as [Talisman](https://www.talisman.xyz/) and [Subwallet](https://www.subwallet.app/) allow users to contribute directly to the crowdloan.
- Mobile wallets such as [Nova Wallet](https://novawallet.io/) also allow access to the crowdloan tab, from the Nova Wallet App.

#### Rewards Distribution

The BNC rewards for participating in the crowdloan will be unlocked linearly over a year.

Users can access the vested BNC by clicking “unlock vesting” on the [Dapp](https://bifrost.app/).

![Crowdloan Page 2.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Crowdloan_Page_2_86b5421fa1.png)

#### About Polkadot Crowdloans

Crowdloan is a block space leasing mechanism introduced by Polkadot.

Parachain projects lease block space on Polkadot, represented as slots, by locking up DOT. These DOT can be crowdloaned from the community through crowdloans with rewards for users guaranteed by the project.

Gavin Wood has proposed a more flexible block space trading method called Polkadot 2.0. Until its implementation, Polkadot will continue to use the slot auction system.

Polkadot Crowdloan - Bifrost Parachain’s Slot Renewal

#### What is Omni LS? ####

[Omni LS DApp](https://omni.ls/) is a front-end application developed by Bifrost that supports remote minting and redemption of Bifrost liquid staking tokens (LST) “vTokens”, as well as Remote Exchange and Swap of vTokens.

This front-end application is powered by the **SLPx Module** deployed on the chain, which consists of the local pallet/smart contract of the Bifrost chain and the remote pallet/smart contract on the remote chain.

Currently, Omni LS DApp supports remote minting, redemption, and exchange on the EVM Parachains such as [Astar](https://astar.network/), [Moonbeam](https://apps.moonbeam.network/moonbeam), [Moonriver](https://moonbeam.network/networks/moonriver/) and [Polkadot](https://polkadot.network/) relay chain, as well as on [Ethereum](https://ethereum.org/en/).

#### What problem does the Omni LS DApp solve? ####

Bifrost’s vToken is an LST asset created by the Staking Liquidity Protocol (SLP). Currently, Bifrost supports **vDOT, vKSM, vGLMR, vMOVR, vBNC, vFIL, and vETH**. Except for vETH and vFIL, the other vTokens require users to transfer their corresponding assets to the Bifrost chain before these can be minted into their respective LSTs.

This process poses challenges for user experience and broader adoption!

Suppose there is a lending and borrowing protocol on Moonbeam that supports vDOT as collateral. This feature is beneficial for users as they can earn additional staking rewards compared to collateralizing DOT. However, with the current process, if a user only has DOT on Moonbeam, they would need to follow these following steps:

1. Transfer DOT from Moonbeam to Bifrost through cross-chain transfer
2. Stake DOT on the Bifrost chain to obtain vDOT
3. Transfer vDOT back to Moonbeam through cross-chain transfer
4. Collateralize vDOT on Moonbeam and borrow the desired asset

#### An Easy Solution ####

The Omni LS DApp aims to simplify this process and provide a seamless experience for users to natively mint and utilize vTokens across different chains.

Instead of the user needing to operate in four steps and sign transactions four times, with the Omni LS DApp, steps can be shortened to just two:

1. In the Omni LS DApp, directly convert DOT on Moonbeam into vDOT.
2. Lend vDOT on the native Moonbeam lending protocol and borrow the desired assets.

In addition to remote minting, the Omni LS DApp also supports remote redemption and exchange:

- **Remote redemption**: Users can directly redeem vTokens for their original tokens on other chains without the need to transfer them to the Bifrost chain.
- **Remote exchange**: Users can exchange vTokens for their original tokens, or vice versa, on other chains without the need to transfer assets to the Bifrost chain. However, the liquidity used behind the scenes is from the Bifrost chain.

In summary, the **Omni LS Dapp allows users to directly mint, redeem, and exchange vTokens on remote chains in just a click**, without the need to switch between multiple Dapps and chains to complete these operations.

#### Is the Omni LS DApp Secure? ####

The backend of Omni LS DApp utilizes the [SLPx Module](https://docs.bifrost.finance/builders/liquid-staking-x-slpx) developed by Bifrost, which has undergone an audit by Common Prefix.

The Audit Report can be found [HERE](https://www.commonprefix.com/clients/bifrost).

Currently, Omni LS DApp only supports remote operations on Polkadot parachains. The security of cross-chain message transmission behind these remote operations is ensured by the Polkadot relay chain. As a multi-chain system that shares security, communication between Polkadot parachains has a high level of security.

In the future, if Omni LS DApp needs to support remote operations on heterogeneous chains, it will require support from a cross-chain bridge infrastructure. The security of heterogeneous cross-chain bridges is still an unresolved issue, and we will exercise great caution in this regard.

To connect your wallet, click on the “**Connect Wallet**” button located in the top right corner.

**Remote Minting**
1. Click on the “Stake” tab
2. Select the asset you want to remotely mint into its respective LST “vToken”
3. Go to the minting page
4. Enter the desired quantity
5. Click on “mint”

The vToken will be minted on the original chain where the asset is located.

![Screenshot 2024-03-27 alle 10.05.05.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Screenshot_2024_03_27_alle_10_05_05_8982680d7c.png)

**Remote Redemption**
1. Click on the “Unstake” tab
2. Select the asset you want to redeem
3. Go to the redemption page
4. Enter the quantity of the asset
5. Click on “redeem”

The original token will be redeemed to the chain where the vToken is located.

**Remote Exchange**
To perform a swap, navigate to the Swap tab, select the type of asset you want to exchange, enter the desired amount, and click on the “Swap” button.

#### Future Developments of Omni LS DApp ####

The architecture of Polkadot naturally enables the possibility of Omni-chain applications. However, this potential has not yet been fully explored, and many applications still choose to deploy on a single parachain. Even with multi-chain deployment, it essentially replicates a single-chain Dapp on different chains.

From the user’s perspective, an Omni-chain Dapp is an application that can be accessed on any chain. Users shouldn’t have to worry about which chain they are on and should be able to use it like a local native Dapp on any chain.

Whilst multi-chain deployment can achieve to some extent similar effects, contracts deployed on different chains cannot communicate with each other. This leads to issues such as inconsistent asset formats and fragmented liquidity.

We believe that the Omni LS DApp’s remote access feature is the solution for Omni-chain Dapps. We hope that applications integrated with vTokens can incorporate the functionality of Omni LS DApp through a series of strategic integrations. When a user on Moonbeam uses a lending Dapp to collateralize DOT, the system automatically converts DOT to vDOT, combining four steps into one.

We are also about to launch corresponding incentive programs to encourage developers and DeFi applications to explore more complex and useful integrations.

#### Conclusion ####

We have introduced the best front-end interface ever developed by Bifrost - the new **Omni LS DApp**!

This enables users to remotely mint, redeem, and exchange vTokens. Compared to the original process, Omni LS DApp simplifies the user experience by allowing users to utilize the services provided by the Bifrost chain on remote chains, such as local DApps.

In terms of security, currently, the Omni LS DApp only supports remote access to Polkadot parachains. However, in the future, we plan to gradually support heterogeneous chains.

Omni LS DApp serves as an example application developed by Bifrost. We hope to see more third-party applications adopting a similar approach to deeply integrate Bifrost vTokens and make LSTs a key primitive within DeFi.

Monthly Report | Surf’s up is Going on, Bifrost TVL breaks $110,000,000

Bifrost is a dedicated modular Liquid Staking L1 secured by Polkadot. Since its establishment, the Total Value Locked (TVL) has exceeded $100 million, **with over $3 million in staking rewards distributed**. This success is attributed to our partner's and community member's support and trust.

To benefit community members and partners promoting the Bifrost protocol and to expand collaboration channels for vToken minting, Bifrost has launched the **vToken Reward-Share Program**. Let's take a closer look at the details of this program.

## What is the vToken Reward-Share Program

As an LST protocol, Bifrost provides liquid staking services for multiple chains. The protocol routinely collects a reward fee (commission) from all token staking rewards as protocol income. The reward fee is deposited into the protocol treasury, where it serves as a risk reserve fund or is used for other ecosystem purposes.

**The vToken Reward-Share Program is a collaborative incentive program** where partners can apply through Bifrost OpenGov to become collaboration channels. Collaboration channels receive **exclusive vToken minting links and a share of the reward fees collected** when users mint vTokens through their links.

![image (3).jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/image_3_c79b4c2d89.jpg)

It is important to emphasize that this reward sharing is continuous. As long as users continue to mint vTokens through a channel's exclusive link without redeeming, they will continue to receive a share of the reward fees. This will persist until a channel opts out of the vToken Reward-Share Program or is removed from the collaboration channel list through voting in OpenGov. For collaboration channels, this represents **a sustainable reward stream**.

## Application Criteria

Community operators, projects, and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) who are interested in integrating the vToken minting portal into their products, or those who wish to promote vToken minting and have a specific user base and influence, are welcome to apply to the vToken Reward-Share program.

Bifrost aims to integrate more vToken minting channels, enhancing user access and convenience to our liquid staking services. These channels can include wallets, DEXs, games, NFT trading platforms, other Web3 applications, and even some Web2 platforms.

This integration may involve directly displaying the vToken minting portal or integrating it into other services. For example, some platforms may support users purchasing vToken using Fiat. In this instance, the backend process may involve using Fiat  to purchase and mint the original token as vToken.

## Rewards Estimation

In the vToken Reward-Share program, each partner channel can receive a portion of Bifrost's reward fee based on its contribution and channel reward rate.

For example:

- Bifrost has a TVL of 10,000,000 DOT.
- Channel A helps mint 2,000,000 DOT into vDOT (20% of the total TVL of vDOT) with an annual DOT staking yield of 12% and a Bifrost protocol reward fee (commission) of 10%.

The calculations would be:

- Annual reward fee of Bifrost = 10,000,000 * 12% * 10% = 120,000 DOT
- Reward fee generated by Channel A = 2,000,000 DOT * 12% * 10% = 24,000 DOT
- If channel A has a reward rate of 40%, then Channel A’s annual rewards = 24,000 DOT * 40% = 9,600 DOT

Rewards are roughly distributed once every 24 hours, and channel partners can claim them on-chain.

## How to Apply

To join the vToken Reward-Share Program, there are two steps:

- First, submit your proposal in the [discussion](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/discussions) section of the Bifrost forum. The proposal should clearly illustrate your scope of collaboration, introduce yourself, and state your target commission rate and value proposition to Bifrost. Depending on the level of collaboration, your proposal will be reviewed by the Bifrost community or Bifrost Fellowship.
- If approved, it will proceed to the OpenGov proposal stage. Next, submit a proposal on Bifrost OpenGov. Provide necessary information such as your project or community name, along with a brief description of yourself and your community. Finally, publish it on-chain for voting.

Once the on-chain proposal is approved, you will officially become a collaboration channel and receive your exclusive vToken minting link. Please refer to our [vToken Reward Share Program documentation](https://docs.bifrost.finance/partners/vtoken-reward-share-program) for detailed operational steps.

## Data Query

- For data on the staking yield rates, visit the [Staking Rewards page](https://www.stakingrewards.com/assets/proof-of-stake).
- For information on the reward fee for vTokens, check out our documentation on [Protocol fees](https://docs.bifrost.finance/tokenomics/treasury#staking-liquid-protocol-fee).
- We provide a dedicated [Analysis page](https://ref.bifrost.app/) for querying data related to the vToken Reward-Share Program. On this page, all reward records for collaborating channels are publicly available, and you can also view the reward statistics for each type of vToken.   

![rewardsharing.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/rewardsharing_2138fe09b1.png)

Above, we have introduced the vToken Reward-Share program launched by Bifrost, and **we welcome all kinds of channel partners to join this program**.

Through the vToken Reward-Share program, we aim to promote the development of Bifrost by expanding vToken minting and enabling more users to experience our **omni-chain liquid staking services, enhancing capital efficiency**. At the same time, we also hope that we can provide a direct monetization path for some communities and products through **revenue sharing**.

While LST protocols have a transparent business model, there are other DeFi protocols, communities, and products that have traffic but lack suitable and direct monetization pathways. Joining the vToken Reward-Share program is a feasible way to create direct and **sustainable sources of income**.

The prosperity of the blockchain ecosystem depends on the mutual promotion and cooperation of various projects within the ecosystem. Each project is like a link in the ecosystem, closely interconnected, working together to drive the development of the entire industry. Bifrost hopes to collaborate with more and more partners **to build a symbiotic system in the crypto space** through profit sharing.

Earn Long-Term Rewards with the Bifrost vToken Reward-Share Program!

Bifrost 是基于 Polkadot 构建的流动性质押协议，自成立以来 TVL 已经突破 1 亿美金，**累计发放质押奖励超过 300 万美金**，这离不开各个社区成员和合作伙伴的支持和信任。

为了让推广 Bifrost 协议的社区成员和合作伙伴能从 Bifrost 协议中受益，也为了扩展更多渠道合作方，扩大 vToken 的铸造，Bifrost 推出了 **vToken 渠道分佣计划**。让我们来关注下该计划的细节。

## 什么是 vToken 渠道分佣计划

作为 LST 协议，Bifrost 为多条链提供流动性质押服务，协议会定期从所有代币的质押收益中收取 Reward Fee（手续费）作为协议收入转入协议财库当中，作为风险储备金或者生态的其他用途使用。

**vToken 渠道分佣计划是 Bifrost 推出的一个合作激励项目**。合作伙伴可以通过在 Bifrost OpenGov 中申请，加入该计划，成为合作渠道。合作渠道将获得一个专属的 vToken 铸造链接。当用户通过该链接铸造 vToken 时，**合作渠道将获得分账**。

![image (3).jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/image_3_c79b4c2d89.jpg)

需要强调的是，这种分账不是一次性的，而是持续不断的，只要用户通过你的专属链接铸造 vToken，并且始终没有赎回，你就会一直获得收益分账，除非你退出 vToken 渠道分佣计划，或者在 OpenGov 的提案投票中被移除出合作渠道列表。

对于合作渠道而言，**这是一个可持续的收入来源**。

无论你是社区运营者、项目方、还是 KOL，只要有兴趣在你的产品中集成 vToken 的铸造入口，或者只是推广 vToken 的铸造，并具备一定的用户基础和影响力，您都可以申请加入 vToken 渠道分佣计划。

申请的批准在 Bifrost OpenGov 中通过治理投票进行。

Bifrost 希望  vToken 的铸造渠道被整合到更多的地方，让用户能够更好的触达。这些渠道包括钱包、DEX、游戏、NFT 交易平台等 Web3 应用，甚至还包括一些 Web2 平台。

这种集成，可以是直接展示 vToken 的铸造入口，也可以是整合到其他服务里，例如一些平台可以支持用户使用 Fiat Currency 购买 vToken，但后端的处理是将 Fiat Currency 用于购买原 Token，并铸造为 vToken。

## 收益预估

在 vToken 渠道分佣计划中，每个合作渠道可以根据其贡献量和渠道分佣率获取 Bifrost 协议 Reward Fee 的一部分。

以 vDOT 为例，假设通过渠道 A，有 2,000,000 DOT 被铸造为了 vDOT（占 vDOT 总 TVL 大约 20%），此时 DOT 的质押年收益率为 12%，Bifrost 协议佣金给 10%，那么 Bifrost 一年可以从这些铸造中获得的 Reward Fee 是：

>2,000,000 DOT *12%*10%=24,000 DOT

假设渠道 A 的分佣率为 40%，那么就意味着渠道 A 一年可以获得：

>24,000 DOT * 40% = 9,600 DOT

佣金大概按照每 24 小时分配一次，渠道方在链上自行领取。

## 如何申请

申请加入 vToken 渠道分佣计划，需要完成以下两个步骤：

Bifrost October Monthly Report

2022 has been a long and difficult year for the crypto industry. 2020’s DeFi Summer, 2021’s NFT hit, and a market that was riding high came to a screeching halt in 2022. The discussion has moved from All in to sharing bear market hedging guidelines. There is no doubt that winter has arrived in the crypto industry.

In bear markets, developers shift their focus from expanding and capitalizing on the market to the fundamentals of project building. Historically, these times have spurred a solid foundation for projects — like Bifrost’s in 2019 — that prove successful despite tough conditions.

It’s been three years since Bifrost was founded, and we continue to plow ahead. 2022 has seen us progress in the following crucial areas.

- Auctioned Polkadot slots and migrated SALP/SLP main functions to Bifrost-Polkadot parachains.
- The SALP protocol is maturing and tending towards self-service operation.
- The SLP protocol is officially launched and has been extended to support 6 types of vToken.
- Newly established HRMP cross-chain channels with 13 parachains to realize asset interoperability.
- Bifrost Network Collator is online, realizing decentralized block collection.
- Bifrost Dapp Release 2.0
- The first behavioral incentive system on the Bifrost chain, Rainbow Boost, has been launched and has completed four rounds of practice.
- Established cooperation and integration relationships with more partners including node merchants, wallet merchants, and ecological projects.
- Promote user education through nearly 50 online and offline promotional activities.
- NFT Back to Asgard has completed Viking character and equipment design work.

## Polkadot Slots

Bifrost’s Kusama parachain slot has ended the first lease period , and immediately opened the second lease period;

With the (following our crowdloan launch) voting 403,008 DOT for Bifrost, on April 30, 2022, Bifrost won the 18th Polkadot slot. On September 14, the Bifrost-Polkadot parachain was officially launched.

After sufficient testing and verification, the SLP and SALP businesses have entered a relatively mature stage, and we migrated the main logic of the business from the Kusama parachain to the Polkadot parachain.

## SLPs and vTokens

In September, with the implementation of The Merge, the income of ETH nodes became diversified. In October, the revenue model of vETH was updated synchronously. Based on the original verification rewards, GAS revenue and MEV revenue have been added.

Following vETH, in 2022, SLP will successively launch 5 staking derivatives including vKSM, vDOT, vMOVR, vGLMR, and vBNC. SLP is providing Liquid Staking services for more and more PoS chains.

Current mint volume data.
![1_TSZfC-Jl56Ff176_1EoNfQ.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_TS_Zf_C_Jl56_Ff176_1_Eo_Nf_Q_5b83af263a.webp)

In terms of the governance of the SLP protocol, we began to implement a more intelligent validator election scheme this year. Previously, we elected entrusted validators through parliamentary voting. The new scheme has been further optimized based on the original scheme:

We divide the entrusted node seats into two parts, namely Validator White List (VWL) and Validator Boost List (VBL). The former will be generated according to a set of clear node selection rules, and the latter will be generated through the active application of nodes and community voting Approval occurs. The SLP protocol will only entrust the assets pledged by the user to the nodes in these two Lists.

We plan to launch a governance voting track dedicated to node elections — Validator Election Track (VET) in conjunction with Polkadot OpenGov. Both VWL and VBL need to pass the VET voting process before they can officially take effect. VET is a referendum process, which means that the power that originally belonged to the parliament now belongs to the Bifrost community as a whole.

## SALP

The SALP protocol also ushered in a major upgrade in 2022. First, the SALP protocol was migrated to the Bifrost-Polkadot parachain shortly after Bifrost bid for the Polkadot parachain slot. This means that SALP can start supporting auctions for Polkadot parachain projects.

Secondly, in SALP 2.0, we have added the Convert function of vsToken and vsBond, so that the two can be converted into each other in two directions. Compared with vsBond pending order transactions, users can now achieve fast vsBond conversion through SALP’s protocol pricing.

Third, with the SALP maturity and slot auctions’ normalization, we have started the self-service docking process of SALP parachains. Parachains can self-initiate proposals, apply for access to SALP services, and increase the odds of winning the auction. In 2022, SALP supported 9 Kusama parachains and 7 Polkadot parachains to win slots. They are:

![SALP 2022.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/SALP_2022_21e7949475.png)

## XCM

XCM-based communication is the basis for the realization of Bifrost cross-chain staking derivatives, an integral part of the SLP protocol, and a guarantee for the broader circulation of derivatives created by the SLP/SALP protocol. Therefore, Bifrost has been working hard to promote opening HRMP channels between Bifrost parachains and more parachains. HRMP is a test version of XCMP, which will be replaced by XCMP later.

Bifrost has established HRMP channels with 4 Polkadot parachains and 9 Kusama parachains to support a two-way cross-span of assets.

![HRMP Channel Summary 2022.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/HRMP_Channel_Summary_2022_b115c7e0b1.png)

## Bifrost Parachain Collator Decentralization
On March 22, Bifrost officially launched the Collator module on the main network and started BNC Staking to realize the decentralization of block collection. The operation cycle of the Collator is 600 blocks, and each round takes about 2 hours. The round is settled once, and the effective time of any operation to increase or release the pledge is calculated according to the round.

In the initial stage of the mainnet Collator launch, Bifrost will open 16 active Collator quotas. As the on-chain network runs stably, Bifrost will gradually release the active Collator quota up to a maximum of 64.

BNC has no inflation mechanism, and Collator rewards are reserved in advance. According to the economic model design, 5% of the total circulation of BNC is used for Collator incentive construction. The total incentive for the first year is 800,000 BNC.

## Bifrost Dapp

After the upgrade of Bifrost Dapp, the interface has a new look. The dashboard page layout has been adjusted to display the user’s personalized data intuitively. The Farming page display has also been optimized, and the classification and display of information are clearer. The interface of the new version of Dapp is more refreshing, the experience is more natural, and the operation is smoother.

![1_rFAnzIKUsLHHFzg8cV2CXg.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_r_F_Anz_IK_Us_LHH_Fzg8c_V2_C_Xg_3587128dc0.webp)

## Rainbow Boost

The Rainbow Boost, officially launched in May 2022, is a system that marks, points, and motivates addresses on the Bifrost chain. During the open window period of Rainbow Boost, participants receive Raindrop points and Back to Asgard NFT rewards by completing specific behaviors, like a customer loyalty program of Bifrost.

![1_UYOM5dy9IPby2A6zQSYizA.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_UYOM_5dy9_I_Pby2_A6z_QS_Yiz_A_cd59ca2d56.webp)

From May to September, we launched four rounds of Rainbow Boost activities, with more than 10,000 participants cumulatively, and completed the casting of vKSM, equivalent to 138,014 KSM, and vDOT, equivalent to 147,477 DOT.

## Cooperation
Safe, high-yield nodes are the goal of our close cooperation. On August 20, Bifrost agreed with Blockdaemon, a high-quality node provider. Blockdaemon is the first Kusama node of SLP after the release of vKSM. On September 7, after the release of vDOT, Bifrost established a long-term partnership with Coinbase Cloud, another high-quality node provider. Establishing cooperation, Coinbase Cloud provides high-quality node services for SLP and facilitates deep liquidity for DOT-vDOT.

Web3.0 wallets are the entrance for most users to participate in Web3.0 services. In 2022, we established cooperation with TokenPocket, MathWallet, NovaWallet, Talisman, Subwallet, and Enkrypt, and they have integrated SLP into their products, to provide users with liquid staking services.

Zenlink is an old partner of Bifrost. Zenlink launched the first Substrate Hybrid AMM Pallet this year, which provides stablecoin trading curves for Substrate assets. Bifrost has integrated Zenlink’s related Pallet to support vToken: Token’s Swap function.

## Activity
Community Call is held every month to inform community partners about the progress of Bifrost and explain related functions. In 2022, we held 10 Community Calls;

Bifrost also participated in 40+ online events such as salons, AMAs, Meetups, and open mics. Among them are the Twitter Space organized by Polkadot ecological partners Zenlink, RMRK, Moonbeam, Subwallet, DFG, and Pendulum, as well as various special discussions held by media partners such as Polkaworld, PolkaWarriors, Polkahaus, and Longhash.

Despite the traveling inconveniences due to the epidemic, the Bifrost team attended various offline gatherings as the main guests, including Token2049, Polkadot Decoded, Polkadot Sub0, DotSama Prague, Berlin Blockchain Week, etc., with footprints in Singapore, Berlin, Prague, Hangzhou, and Lisbon.

## 2023 plan

Overall, in 2022, we have largely accomplished our expected goals:

- As a Kusama/Polkadot parachain, Bifrost has been running stably for a long time, and its stability has withstood the test of time;
- The SALP/SLP protocol has laid a solid foundation and entered the stage of business expansion and cross-chain expansion;
- From the launch of Collator to the upgrade of governance, the governance of the Bifrost chain itself is becoming increasingly decentralized;
- There are more ecological partners establishing cooperation and integration relationships with Bifrost, and Bifrost is being woven into a large DeFi network and becoming an indispensable part of the network;
- We have gradually matured in terms of event promotion and user education, and some successful experiences are becoming normal operations.

Continuing the achievements of 2022, we still have a lot to do in 2023:

## SLP

### Upgrade vETH

First, the current vETH income is automatically distributed to the holder’s address. In the next stage, we will update the vETH contract and settle the vETH income through the minting price increase model, which is consistent with other vTokens. Second, if Ethereum enables the unstake of ETH, we will simultaneously enable the redemption function of vETH.

Third, vETH is an ERC20 native asset. Since there is no trust-minimized bridge between Ethereum and Polkadot, we have never realized the dual-chain asset attribute of vETH. In 2023, we will use a trust-minimized bridge like Snowfork to bridge ERC20 vETH to the Bifrost chain and become Substrate’s native asset.

### Launch new vToken types

In 2023, we plan to launch six new vToken types: vFIL, vPHA/vKHA, vASTAR/vSDN, and vATOM. In addition, we also plan to develop the Liquid Staking service of Ethereum Layer 2.

### Enable System Staking

System Staking refers to using assets in the Bifrost sovereign account to participate in Staking. We plan to start System Staking and subsidize its income to vToken holders to further increase the comprehensive rate of return of vToken.

### Support vToken holders to participate in the governance of the original chain

The current SLP version has a problem. When users cast Tokens into vTokens, they virtually lose the governance rights carried by the original Tokens. In 2023, we will establish a governance middle layer to support vToken holders to vote on various governance proposals of the original PoS chain. The SLP protocol will mirror the sovereign original locked token, allowing governance participation.

### Building a money market for vTokens

We will build a native vToken mortgage and lending market on the Bifrost chain, further increasing the usage scenarios and capital efficiency of vToken.

## Cross-chain bridging

- We will use the Substrate Common Bridge to connect the Bifrost-Kusama parachain and the Bifrost-Polkadot parachain.
- We will develop a liquidity call interface to support applications on other chains, and call the liquidity of vToken on Bifrost through XCM for collateral liquidation to facilitate the integration of SLP on lending agreements on other chains.
- Bifrost will integrate snowfork and open the Bifrost-Ethereum bridge
- We plan to integrate a trust-minimized third-party cross-chain bridge and open the Bifrost-Cosmos bridge.

## Governance

We will integrate Polkadot’s OpenGov Pallet and open the VET governance track to support the election of validators.

We will update Bifrost’s governance model, and BNC holders may need to pledge BNC to obtain veBNC to participate in governance.

## Others
We will integrate RMRK, support native NFT functions, and officially release the Back to Asgard series of NFTs. The NFTs will be distributed on the Singular NFT platform.

The Bifrost team has updated the 2023 Roadmap plan. Please visit [Notion](https://www.notion.so/bifrost-finance/7df6abf2acb54b398df75230e157c7da?v=02ecfe941c5242c3b5f8c77654512b80) for more detailed quarterly plans to inquire.

## Final Thoughts

In this fast-moving time scale, we are working hard to leave deep footprints. In 2023, we will still insist on doing everything well to welcome the new year’s transformation. We’re humbled by the continued dedication and enthusiasm of our Bifrost community. 2022 was an impressive year, filled with growth and achievements, thanks to our loyal supporters! As we press forward into 2023 full of optimism, positivity, and ambition remain at the forefront in order for us to reach unprecedented heights.

Bifrost Annual Report | Recapping 2022 & Looking Ahead to 2023

## ETH Shanghai Upgrade

Since its launch in 2015, the Ethereum blockchain has implemented several major upgrades as follows: Byzantium (2017), Constantinople (2019), St. Petersburg (2019), Istanbul (2019), Berlin (2021) and London (2021).
Each upgrade covers an important event in the history of the evolution of Ethereum and the upcoming “Shanghai Upgrade” is no exception.

The Shanghai Upgrade is the last milestone in the Ethereum transition from PoW to PoS, which will open up the unstake feature of ETH. Previously, in December 2020, Ethereum released its Beacon Chain, which opened the Stake function of ETH and entered the era of dual-track system of PoS and PoW. In September 2022, Ethereum completed The Merge, which transformed it into PoS chain and ended algorithmic mining. However, the unstake function will not be officially opened until the Shanghai upgrade is completed.

![1_eoe9VhkKdoa9wI1S2x5L-A.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_eoe9_Vhk_Kdoa9w_I1_S2x5_L_A_0a90f6dc81.webp)

According to the official Ethereum network data, the number of PoS verifiers in the Ethereum network has exceeded 510,000, and the total number of stakings exceeds 16.4 Million ETH! All these ETH are now “locked” in the Ethereum network, waiting for the Shanghai upgrade to open unstake before they can be withdrawn. As a result, the Shanghai Upgrade has become a highly anticipated event in the Ethereum ecosystem.

In October 2022, in preparation for the Shanghai Upgrade, Ethereum developers launched a test network codenamed “Shandong” to find bugs and potential problems. On February 7, 2023, Ethereum launched the Shanghai upgrade on the testnet codenamed “ZheJiang” and successfully simulated the unstake process. Next, the development team completed the Sepolia testnet upgrade (February 28) and the Goerli testnet upgrade (March 14).

According to the latest news released by the official Ethereum, the Ethereum mainnet will be officially upgraded at block height 6209536 (22:27 pm GMT on April 12). At that time, the unstake function on the mainnet will be officially opened.
## 
Impact of Shanghai Upgrade

Some may think that the upgrade to open unstake in Shanghai will cause a sell-off in ETH. But in fact, according to the recent price performance of ETH, most investors have the opposite expectation. There are two reasons for this: Firstly, after the unstake is opened, there is a limit to the number of unstakes per day, which is not a big impact compared to the daily trading volume of ETH; secondly, the enthusiasm of ETH holders to participate in staking will increase significantly. Staking ratios for mainstream PoS chains are generally between 40% and 70%, while the staking ratio for ETH is currently only about 16%, leaving plenty of room for growth.

Based on the expectation of a huge new wave of stakings, staking-related services such as Liquid Staking, have gained the attention of investors, and considering Ethereum can count on dozens of liquid staking protocols, this narrative has growth.

Liquid Staking protocols issue a voucher token, a sort of receipt passes, for those users who want to participate in Stake keeping their liquidity, which can be freely circulated, traded at any time, repackaged or involved in more interest-bearing activities. In this way, Liquid Staking allows users to earn Staking rewards without locking up their liquidity, thereby increasing the efficiency of their capital.

## About vETH

Bifrost is a protocol that has been in the Liquid Staking game since 2019. At the time of Ethereum’s beacon chain release, Bifrost went live with vETH 1.0 related contracts and released an liquid staking token: vETH. vETH’s minted volume is currently 20,094, ranking steadily in the top 10 of all types of ETH liquid staking token.

vETH is run on the Bifrost Staking Liquidity Protocol (SLP) contract, which allows users to lock in ETH for vETH minting at any time without any basic knowledge or technical ability regarding verifying nodes.

vETH is one of the assets in the Bifrost vToken collection. Bifrost is a parachain to Polkadot, and by using the bridge between Ethereum and Polkadot, vETH can easily move between Polkadot and Polkadot as a native asset in both the EVM environment on Ethereum and the Substrate environment of the Bifrost chain. vETH holders can take full advantage of the interest-bearing opportunities in both and gain greater returns.

## About vETH2.0

With the implementation of the Shanghai upgrade, the vETH contract will be upgraded simultaneously, vETH2.0 will be launched, and the unstake function will be enabled. vETH holders will be able to redeem the originally staked ETH with interest. Different from vETH 1.0, the vETH 2.0 contract is an upgradeable contract, which means that it will add more features through upgrades in the future to help vETH achieve higher security, decentralization and more practicality.

As soon as the vETH 2.0 contract will go live, the vETH payout will change. Previously, vETH payouts were distributed in the form of Rebase, with payouts made in the form of vETH to the vETH holder’s account and required a manual Claim by these users.

This format was not effective to integrate vETH with major DeFi applications, as a Token that requires a manual Claim is a non-standard Token for DeFi protocols. With the deployment of the vETH 2.0 contract, gains will be paid out via exchange rate escalation, eliminating the need for vETH holders to manually Claim. vETH’s Staking gain will be automatically reflected in the ETH’s local price.

TIt is expected that vETH 2.0 will add a fast redemption feature. With this feature, user-initiated unstake requests are matched with new stake requests in the system to shorten the unstake waiting period. This feature is one of the basic features of the vToken family of tokens. (Of course, users can also swap vETH back to ETH at any time via the vETH/ETH liquidity pool, at a possible discount, which was also possible with the previous version of vETH 1.0).

vETH 2.0 will also plan to incorporate DVT (Distributed Validator Technology) for more robust node risk control and a higher degree of automation.

To learn more about vETH 2.0: https://wiki.bifrost.finance/staking-liquidity-protocol-slp/veth

## vETH 2.0 Go Live Steps

The vETH2.0 contract will be tested on the Zhejiang testnet, the Sepolia testnet, and the Goerli testnet, and a code audit will be started at the same time. After the testing and code audit are completed, we expect to officially launch the vETH2.0 contract on the mainnet at 12:00 on April 6, 2023. The vETH2.0 go-live timeline is as follows:

- At 12:00 on March 31 (UTC+8), the claim function of vETH 1.0 has been disabled. After that, the reward were released through the vETH 2.0 increase. The first increase in the vETH 2.0 exchange rate is within 24 hours of the successful upgrade of ETH Shanghai (the reward will be issued in one go through the first exchange rate increase during the period from 12:00 on March 31 to the successful upgrade of Shanghai)

- April 6 18:00 (UTC+8), vETH2.0 contract will be officially online, users will be able to swap their vETH1.0 1:1 for vETH2.0.
The swap portal will be open for a long time.

- At 18:00 on April 10th (UTC +8) vETH/ETH Farming will be launched on bifrost.app, and LP staked to the Bifrost protocol will be rewarded with xcBNC (the EVM version of BNC)

- April 13, 6:27 (UTC+8): After the Shanghai upgrade is completed, Bifrost will open vETH 2.0 redemption after the ETH mainnet is running stably. The specific time will be announced.

## About xcBNC

BNC is a native asset of the Bifrost chain and cannot be used directly in the EVM ecosystem: it needs a cross-chain wrapped version of BNC - xcBNC. XC cross-chain allows users to cross-chain BNC from the Bifrost chain to the Moonriver chain, and after cross-chaining, BNC is automatically converted to xcBNC. xcBNC can then be cross-chained to other EVM chains, including Ethereum, via Multi-chain.

Token address of xcBNC: https://etherscan.io/token/0x1fd097b75679a2896c007da75f4c74598a46bb7e

## Conclusion

Bifrost is keeping pace with the Shanghai Upgrade, step by step, testing, auditing, going live with vETH contracts and turning on liquidity incentives. The new vETH2.0 will be more secure, scalable and composable. Although the migration from vETH1.0 to vETH2.0 is non-mandatory and not time-limited, we strongly recommend that you complete the migration as soon as possible because

- vETH2.0/ETH will become the main official liquidity pool and will be more liquid;
- participation in liquidity Farming of vETH2.0/ETH will be rewarded with xcBNC;

vETH2.0 is an EVM and Substrate dual environment asset that can easily move between the EVM ecosystem and the Polkadot ecosystem, enjoying interest-generating opportunities on both sides.
We will release detailed operation guidelines for replacing vETH2.0 and participating in vETH/ETH liquidity farming later, so please stay tuned.

Bifrost Monthly Report | June 2024

## TL;DR

在 Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案中， Bifrost 计划使用协议利润的 100% 用于回购 BNC，并将其中 90% 分配至 bbBNC 持有者，剩余 10% 将被销毁。

2024 年下半年，Bifrost Team 的核心任务是完成 Bifrost 2.0 的上线，在这次大版本更新中，Bifrost 将上线全新的经济模型，完成 Bifrost Kusama 与 Bifrost Polkadot 平行链的跨链和合并，实现 Bifrost Polkadot Collator 的去中心化，兼容 EVM 生态并打通 Ethereum 及 L2 跨链，并推出 BNC 2.0 启动 Campaign。

在加密领域，有观点认为：Token 是比区块链技术本身更伟大的发明。这句话或许只是一句哗众取宠的爆论，但确实在提醒我们，Token 经济的设计对于加密协议的成功至关重要。

Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案已在社区发布，提案中，最核心的变化便是 bbBNC (Buy Back BNC) 的推出。 bbBNC 将可以通过锁定 vBNC 获得，享有协议治理权的同时，可以直接分享 Bifrost 协议的收益。

## Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案内容

[本提案](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/77)提议将 Bifrost 协议利润的 100% 用于回购 BNC，并将其中 90% 分配至 bbBNC 持有者，剩余 10% 将被销毁，bbBNC 全称 Buy Back BNC，是 BNC 的一种锁仓票据，用于分享协议收益。

_*协议利润 = 协议收入 - 协议运营成本_

![Market Material BNC 2.0 framework.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Market_Material_BNC_2_0_framework_28f0ef955d.png)

## 如何获取 bbBNC

用户通过质押 BNC 获取 vBNC，再锁定 vBNC 来获取 bbBNC，锁定的 vBNC 数量越多，锁定时间越长，获得的 bbBNC 数量越多。该机制与 Curve 协议的 veCRV 获得机制类似。

在 Bifrost 以往的运营活动中，获得 Raindrops 积分的用户，可以使用 Raindrops 积分兑换 bbBNC，这部分 bbBNC 并非直接 Mint 产生，而是从 Bifrost 协议财库中支出。

bbBNC 不可转账，到期之后可以赎回锁仓的 vBNC，如果在未到期前赎回，会产生一定的 Slash，Slash 将全部计入协议收入，并参与 BNC 回购、销毁和 bbBNC 激励。

![profit.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/profit_c808cbfc5c.png)

## 持有 bbBNC 有哪些权益

- **收益分配权**：bbBNC 持有者能够参与协议收益的分配。具体比例根据 bbBNC 的持有量和锁仓时间决定。持有量越大、锁仓时间越长，分配的比例越高。

- **Staking 收益**：由于 bbBNC 是由 vBNC 锁定所得，所以 bbBNC 会集成 vBNC 携带的 Staking 收益；

- **治理权**： vBNC 继承了 BNC 的治理权，而bbBNC 会继承 vBNC 的治理权，bbBNC Holders 可以参与 Bifrost 协议的治理投票；

- **Farming 增益**：bbBNC 持有者参与 **vToken Farming** 可以获得一定的**激励加成**。

## Bifrost 协议收入来源

Bifrost 作为领先的全链流动性质押协议，拥有多项协议收入，包括：

1. **vToken 佣金**：在提供流动性质押服务时，协议会从质押收益中收取一定佣金作为协议收入转入协议财库当中，这是目前 Bifrost 协议收入的主要部分；
2. **System Staking 收入**：Bifrost 系统账户中的资产质押产生的收入；
3. **链上手续费**：Bifrost Parachain 作为一条独立的 App Chain，用户在 Bifrost 链上进行交易时需要支付交易手续费，也就是 Gas 费；
4. **vToken 交易手续费**：Bifrost 为 vToken 建立专属的 LST 稳定交易池（LST Stable Swap），用户使用该池兑换 vToken，支付的手续费，大部分给到 LP 之外，也会有一部分分享给 bbBNC Holders；
5. **扩展应用收入**：Bifrost 还将围绕流动性质押，推出各种扩展应用服务，包括 LST 杠杆质押（Loop Stake），用户使用这些服务都会给 Bifrost 协议带来收入，从而给 bbBNC Holders 带来收益；
6. **bbBNC 提前赎回 Slash**：bbBNC 如果在未到期前赎回，会产生一定的 Slash，Slash 将全部计入协议收入。

## bbBNC 对 Bifrost 协议的意义

在当前的 Bifrost 经济模型中，协议的主要收入是进入财库，并直接用于业务拓展（vToken 铸造激励、流动性激励、渠道激励等），这种模式在推动 Bifrost 业务增长上发挥了一定作用，但未使 BNC 持有者直接获益，而在 Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案中假设有 40% 的 Staking BNC 被转化为 bbBNC，按照当前 Bifrost 协议的收入规模与 BNC 的价格，持有 bbBNC 的年化收益可以达到 100%以上。

更高的 BNC 价值捕获为 Bifrost 带来更高的市值，从而推动更多的 LST 应用场景，更多的应用场景会促进 vToken 的综合收益率提升（Staking 收益率+ vToken Restaking 收益率），从而带来更多的 vToken 铸造。更多的 vToken 铸造意味着更多的协议收入，这将提升 bbBNC 持有者的收益，从而进一步为 BNC 捕获更多价值，**形成一个正向的增长飞轮**，而 bbBNC 就是这个增涨飞轮的引擎，促使代币持有者与 Bifrost 协议利益高度统一起来，更大动力为共建 Bifrost 协议做出贡献。

## 路线图

目前 Bifrost 2.0 升级已正式启动，以下是正在进行中的路线图，您可以加入 [Bifrost Dsicord](https://discord.com/invite/bifrost) 社区获取最新进展，或在 gov-discussions 频道中参与 Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 的提案讨论。

## 小结

DeFi 协议是在加密市场中少数已经完成了 PMF 验证的赛道，不少 DeFi 协议都有着稳定的盈利能力。但一直以来，DeFi 协议代币往往都是单纯的治理代币，持有者都无法分享到这些盈利。

DeFi 协议代币本就该具备更完整的权利，而非仅仅是治理权。我们的判断是，随着社区的觉醒、市场注意力从金融虚无主义到价值投资的回归、以及监管政策的清晰化，DeFi 协议向代币持有者分享收益必将成为趋势。

无论是 Uniswap 宣布向 UNI 持有者分享收益，还是 Bifrost 在新经济模型中推出 bbBNC，都是对这种趋势的呼应。

Bifrost 协议于 2019 年创建，经过市场周期的锤炼，产品和运营战略都日趋成熟，已具备稳定的业务和持续的创收能力。在此基础上，由于 Bifrost 在链抽象领域的率先布局，Bifrost 拥有巨大的增长潜力，随着更多的资金进入，协议的价值与收益也将不断增加。

bbBNC 的推出，将让 Bifrost 正式迈向**社区共治、社区共享，具备强健生命力的去中心化协议**。

Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案，提议协议利润的 100% 用于 BNC 回购和销毁

## TL;DR

In the Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 proposal, Bifrost plans to use 100% of protocol profits for BNC buybacks, with 90% allocated to bbBNC holders and the remaining 10% to be burned.

## Highlights

In the second half of 2024, the core mission of the Bifrost Team is to launch Bifrost 2.0. This major update includes several key initiatives:

- Bifrost will launch its new tokenomics.
- Complete the cross-chain integration and merging of Bifrost Kusama and Bifrost Polkadot parachains into one.
- Achieve decentralization of the Bifrost Polkadot Collator set.
- Ensure compatibility with the EVM ecosystem and establish cross-chain connectivity with Ethereum and its L2.
- Launch the BNC 2.0 launch campaign.

In the field of cryptocurrency, there is a viewpoint that suggests: Tokens are a greater invention than blockchain technology itself. This statement may sound sensational, but it serves as a reminder that tokenomics design is crucial for the success of crypto protocols and broadly for businesses.

[The Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 proposal](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/77) has been released in the community, and the most significant change in the proposal is the introduction of bbBNC (Buy Back BNC). **bbBNC**, is obtainable by obtaining Bifrost liquid staking token “vBNC” and locking it. Holders of bbBNC receive staking rewards accrued in vBNC, enjoy protocol governance rights, and **directly share Bifrost protocol Profits**.

## Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 Proposal

This proposal suggests using 100% of the profits from the Bifrost protocol for the **buyback of BNC**, with 90% allocated to bbBNC holders and the **remaining 10% to be burned**. bbBNC, short for Buy Back BNC, is a type of escrow token used for sharing the protocol's profit.

_*Protocol Profits = Protocol Revenue - Operation Cost_

![Overview of bbBNC Functions and Benefits](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Market_Material_BNC_2_0_framework_28f0ef955d.png)

## How to obtain bbBNC

Users can obtain bbBNC by liquid staking BNC to acquire vBNC and then locking this vBNC to receive bbBNC. **The amount of bbBNC a user gets depends on the quantity of vBNC locked and the duration of the locking period**. For example, the longer a user locks vBNC, the more bbBNC they receive. This mechanism mirrors the veCRV mechanism in the Curve protocol.

In past community activities and Bifrost campaigns, participants earned Raindrops points. After the launch of Bifrost 2.0, these points can be exchanged for bbBNC. These bbBNC will not be minted directly but disbursed from the Bifrost treasury.

**bbBNC is non-transferable** and can be redeemed for locked vBNC upon maturity. However, bbBNC can be redeemed before maturity, but users may face slash for redeeming earlier than the set date. Slash will be fully counted as protocol revenue and will participate in BNC buybacks, burns, and bbBNC incentives.

![profit.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/profit_c808cbfc5c.png)

### Benefits of Holding bbBNC

Holding bbBNC entitles you to the following benefits:

- **Profit Distribution**: bbBNC holders will share protocol profits. The distribution proportion depends on the amount of bbBNC held and the length of the locking period. The larger the holding and the longer the lock-up period, the higher the share of the profit distribution.
- **Staking Rewards**: bbBNC, obtained by locking vBNC, integrates the staking rewards from liquid staking BNC.
- **Governance Rights**: bbBNC inherits the governance rights of BNC, allowing holders to participate in the governance of the Bifrost protocol.
- **Boosted farming**: bbBNC holders can receive additional incentives when participating in vToken farming.

## Sources of Bifrost Protocol Revenue

As a leading cross-chain liquid staking protocol, Bifrost generates multiple streams of protocol revenue, including:

1. **vToken Commission**: The protocol earns a commission from staking rewards through its liquid staking services, which are then transferred to the protocol treasury. This is a significant part of Bifrost's revenue.
2. **System Staking**: This is generated by staking assets within the Bifrost system account.
3. **Tx Fee**: As an independent app chain, Bifrost charges gas fees for transactions on the Bifrost chain. A percentage of these fees is allocated to the Bifrost treasury.
4. **vToken Swap Fees**: Bifrost establishes liquidity pools for vTokens. Users pay fees when using these pools to swap vTokens. Most of these swap fees go to liquidity providers (LPs), and a portion will be shared with bbBNC holders.
5. **Expanded Application Revenue**: Bifrost will also launch various extension application services centered around liquid staking, including LST leverage staking (Loop Stake). Users utilizing these services will generate revenue for the Bifrost protocol, thereby providing returns for bbBNC holders.
6. **bbBNC Early Redemption Slash**: If bbBNC is redeemed before maturity, a certain slash will be incurred, and the slash will be fully allocated to protocol revenue.

## The Significance of bbBNC for the Bifrost Protocol

In the current Bifrost Tokenomics, the main revenue of the protocol enters the treasury and is directly used for business expansion (such as vToken minting incentives, liquidity incentives, channel incentives, etc.). This model has played a role in promoting Bifrost's business growth, but it has not provided direct benefits to BNC holders. In the Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 proposal, it is assumed that 40% of staking BNC be converted into bbBNC. Based on the current revenue scale of the Bifrost protocol and the price of BNC, the annualized yield for holding bbBNC could exceed 100%.

Higher BNC value capture leads to a higher market capitalization for Bifrost, which in turn drives more LST application scenarios. More application scenarios will promote an increase in the comprehensive yield of vTokens (staking yield + vToken restaking yield), resulting in more vToken minting. More vToken minting means more protocol revenue, which will enhance the returns for bbBNC holders, further capturing more value for BNC and forming a positive growth flywheel. bbBNC serves as the engine of this growth flywheel, aligning the interests of token holders closely with those of the Bifrost protocol and providing greater motivation to contribute to the co-development of the Bifrost protocol.

The Bifrost 2.0 upgrade has officially launched. Below is the ongoing roadmap. You can join [Bifrost Discord community](discord.bifrost.io) to get the latest updates or participate in the proposal discussions on the Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 in the gov-discussions channel.

![BNC 2.0 Roadmap (4).png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/BNC_2_0_Roadmap_4_cef5ffcd80.png)

## Summary

DeFi protocols are among the few crypto market sectors that have successfully achieved Product-Market Fit (PMF), with many demonstrating stable profitability. However, DeFi protocol tokens have primarily served as governance tokens, giving holders no share of the revenues generated.

These tokens should **represent total equity, not just governance rights**. We believe that as the community becomes more aware, the market shifts from financial nihilism to value investing, and regulatory policies become more explicit, sharing profits with token holders will become the norm for DeFi protocols.

Examples like Uniswap announcing revenue sharing with UNI holders and Bifrost introducing bbBNC in its new economic model are responses to this trend.

Founded in 2019, Bifrost has **matured through two market cycles**, refining its product and operational strategies to achieve stable business and revenue generation capabilities. With its pioneering efforts in chain abstraction, Bifrost has enormous growth potential. As more capital flows into the ecosystem, the protocol's value and revenue will continue to rise.

The launch of bbBNC will officially lead Bifrost towards community governance and community sharing, establishing a robust and resilient protocol.

月报｜BNC Tokenomics 2.0 提案发布，将协议利润的 100% 用于 BNC 回购和销毁

With the ongoing [Bifrost 2.0 upgrade,](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/1823316929983234152) we are gradually migrating Bifrost’s operations to Bifrost-Polkadot network. To further decentralize the Bifrost-Polkadot chain’s operations and block production, we are launching the Bifrost-Polkadot Collator system. Following this, the Bifrost-Kusama network will cease generating rewards for Collators, and Collators need to migrate to Bifrost-Polkadot.

## What is a Collator

A [Collator](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-collator) is essentially a block producer within a parachain. Collators are responsible for executing blocks and broadcasting them to the relay chain for verification, playing a role similar to that of Sequencers on Ethereum Layer2 networks.

![collator1.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator1_fddd96184c.png)

The Collator system on Bifrost-Polkadot operates in cycles of 600 blocks per round, with each round taking approximately 2 hours. Rewards are settled at the end of each round, and any staking or unstaking behavior takes effect based on the round.

Anyone can run a Collator by staking a minimum of 5,000 BNC, but only those with the highest total staking volume (personal stake + delegated stake) are eligible to be selected as a block producer. These top Collators are referred to as the “Active Set”, while the remaining Collators are called “Candidates”. 

Currently all the 32 Collators spots are filled in the active set, with 3 as candidates.

![collator2.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator2_fa6c785603.png)

At the launch of the Bifrost-Polkadot Collator system, Bifrost will offer 16 Active Set slots. As the network stabilizes, this number will gradually increase to a maximum of 32. Detailed parameters of the Collator system are as follows:

 
![collator3.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator3_376459b07d.jpg)

Running a Collator node involves some technical operations, so we encourage participants with a technical background to get involved. We provide a [Collator operation guide](https://docs.bifrost.io/for-collators/run-a-collator) and a [Discord channel](https://discord.gg/GpJhFC93GT) for Collators to discuss technical issues.

In theory, you can delegate BNC to up to 350 Collators, but avoid delegating to "saturated" Collators. Only the first 300 delegators for each active Collator are eligible for rewards. Here are the detailed parameters for Delegators:

![collator4.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator4_7557f1843b.jpg)

Once the Collator system on Bifrost-Polkadot goes live, users must switch their wallet connection to Bifrost-Polkadot on the [Bifrost Dapp](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vBNC?network=polkadot) to regain access to BNC staking.

## Reward Distribution

**BNC does not use an inflation model** and Collator rewards are pre-allocated. According to [Bifrost Tokenomics](https://docs.bifrost.io/tokenomics/bnc), 5% of the total token supply is allocated for Collators. There are 800,000 BNC rewards in the first years with 10% to Collators and 90% to Delegators.

Collator commission depends on block production and Delegator staking allocation, while Delegator rewards are calculated based on the Collator’s block production performance and the amount of staked BNC. For detailed reward calculations, refer to the [Bifrost Docs](https://docs.bifrost.io/for-collators).

## Bifrost-Polkadot Collator FAQ

### How to choose a Collator? ###

Delegators can select a Collator based on node configuration, the total BNC staked amount, and node stability. You can also mint BNC into vBNC and let the SLP protocol manage the delegation.
    
### What is the maximum number of Collators? ###

There is no limit for the Candidate set; anyone who meets the hardware requirement and minimum staked amount can register as a Collator. However, the number of Active Set with block production rights is limited. Initially, it is set to 16, which will gradually increase to 32 as the network stabilizes.
    
### What are the minimum requirements to become a Collator? ###

First, you need to meet the hardware requirements. Additionally, you must register the session key for your node and stake a minimum of 5,000 BNC to join the Candidate set. Only Collators with the highest staked amount can join the Active Set. The initial number for the Active Set is set at 16, expanding to 32 gradually.
    
### How Can I check  BNC staking rewards? ###

Log in to the [Bifrost Collator page](https://app.bifrost.io/collator), and you can view daily staking rewards in the top-right corner and check each round’s BNC rewards under “Recent Staking Rewards”.

Bifrost Polkadot Collator is Live: A New Era of Decentralization

2022 年 3 月 22 日， Bifrost 开启了 Bifrost Kusama Collator 的自由准入，以及 BNC 的质押，标志着 Bifrost 正式实现了 Collator 运行的去中心化。

随着 Bifrost 2.0 升级的进行，我们已将 Bifrost 的业务陆续迁移到了 Bifrost-Polkadot 网络。为了实现 Bifrost-Polkadot 链的去中心化的运行和区块收集，我们已经启动了 Bifrost-Polkadot 链上的Collator 系统，届时， Bifrost-Kusama 链上的 Collator 将很快停止产生收益，Collators 需要进行迁移。

## 什么是 Collator

所谓 Collator，即搜集者，是平行链中的出块节点，他们负责打包区块，并提交给中继链进行验证，其作用类似于以太坊 L2 上的 Sequencer。

![collator1.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator1_fddd96184c.png)

Bifrost Polkadot Collator 系统的运行周期为 600 个区块一轮，每轮大约需要 2 个小时，收益每轮结算一次，且任何增加质押或是解质押的操作生效时间都是按轮次计算。

所有人只要自己质押超过 5000 BNC 就可以运行 Collator，但只有总质押量（自己质押的部分 + 收到的委托）排在前面的若干位 Collator 有机会获得出块权，这些 Collator 被称为 Active set（活跃集），而其余的 Collator 被称为 Candidates（候补集）。

在 Bifrost-Polkadot Collator 系统上线的初始阶段，Bifrost 将开放 16 名活跃集名额，随着链上网络运行稳定后，Bifrost 将逐渐释放活跃集名额直至最大值 32 位。更多详细的 Collator 参数如下：

![collator3.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator3_376459b07d.jpg)

Collator 节点运行涉及到部分技术操作，建议有技术基础的小伙伴参与，我们提供了 [Collator 运行文档](https://docs.bifrost.io/for-collators/run-a-collator)和一个供 Collator 交流技术问题的 [Discord 频道](https://discord.gg/GpJhFC93GT)。

## BNC Staking

如果你持有 BNC， 并且希望通过质押去赚取收益，那么你可以作为 Delegator 直接参与 BNC Staking，也可以通过铸造为 vBNC，间接参与 Staking。在 Bifrost Polkadot 的 Collator 系统上线后，Bifrost Kusama 的 Collator 系统会同步停止产生收益。

理论上讲，你最多可以将 BNC 分散委托给 350 个 Collator，但需要注意，尽量不要委托给已经“饱和”的 Collator。因为每个活跃 Collator 的前 300 名委托人可获得收益，超出前 300 名的委托人不计算收益。下方表格列出了详细的 Delegator 主网参数：

![collator4.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/collator4_7557f1843b.jpg)

在 Bifrost-Polkadot 网络的 Collator 系统上线后，[Bifrost Dapp](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vBNC?network=polkadot) 上的 BNC Staking 界面也将进行转移，需要你在将钱包连接的网络切换为 Bifrost-Polkadot 才能看到。

## 收益分配

BNC 没有通胀机制，Collator 奖励为提前预留，根据经济模型设计，BNC 总发行量的 5% 用于 Collator 激励建设，第一年总计激励为 800,000 BNC。Collator 与 Delegator 的收益分别为 10% (80,000x BNC) 与 90% (720,000 BNC)。

Collator 佣金取决于活跃节点出块情况与 Delegator 质押数量分配，Delegator 的收益则根据委托的 Collator 节点的出块情况和个人 BNC 质押量来计算。你可以通过 [Bifrost 文档](https://docs.bifrost.io/for-collators/requirement)了解详细收益计算方式。

## FAQ

### 如何选择一个 Collator?

Delegator 可以根据 Collator 节点运行配置 + BNC 质押量 + 节点运行稳定性等方面选择想要委托的 Collator。也可以直接将 BNC 铸造为 vBNC，让 SLP 协议来管理委托。

### 最多共有多少名 Collator？

Collator 候补集没有上限，任何满足技术配置及质押数量的人都有资格注册 Collator。但我们设定了拥有出块资格的活跃集的数量。在初始，我们设定为 16 名，根据运行情况在合适的时间逐步增加活跃 Collator 数量，直至最大 32 名。

### 成为 Collator 的最低要求是什么？

技术上来讲，你需要满足最低节点配置。此外你还需要注册节点 Session Key 并满足最低自身质押量（5000 BNC）的条件，就可以进入候补集。但只有总质押量排名前 n 位的 Collator 可以进入活跃集。n 的初始设定是 16，将逐步扩大至 32。

### 在哪里查看 BNC 质押收益？

登录 Bifrost Collator 界面，右上角可以看到每天 Staking 的收益，点击下方「最近质押收益」查看每一轮 BNC 收益 。

Bifrost Polkadot Collator 正式启动，迈向去中心化新纪元

Bifrost 2.0 升级的核心目标就是将 Bifrost 的业务全部从 Bifrost-Kusama 迁移到 Bifrost-Polkadot 网络。

作为先行网络（或者说测试网络），Bifrost-Kusama 已经完成了其使命。Bifrost 的业务已经相对成熟，迁移到拥有更丰富生态、更强可组合性、更多流动性的 Polkadot 生态之中，是必然之举。

尤其重要的是，Polkadot 与更多的异构链建立了桥接，这对于 Bifrost 的 Omnichain LST 业务拓展具有战略意义。

迁移完成后，[BNC Tokenomocis 2.0](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/article-17) 将在 Bifrost-Polkadot 上全面启动。

## vBNC 的迁移
 
第一步是 Collator 的迁移。我们启动了 Bifrost-Polkadot Collator 系统，同时停止了 Bifrost-Kusama Collator 系统的收益产生，鼓励 Collator 迁移到 Bifrost-Polkadot。这一步，我们已经在之前的文章《[Bifrost Polkadot Collator 正式启动，迈向去中心化新纪元](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/article-33)》中做了详细阐述。

第二步是 vBNC 的迁移。我们完成了在 Bifrost-Polkadot 网络上启动新的 vBNC，并停用了 Bifrost-Kusama 上的 vBNC。

vBNC 的迁移是采用快照的方式进行，具体迁移过程如下：

- 11 月 27 日前，完成了 Bifrsot Polkadot 上的 vBNC 相关业务的初始化；

- 11 月 27 日，暂停了 Bifrost Kusama 上的 vBNC 业务；用户无法铸造、赎回，vBNC/BNC 的池子也暂停流动性的添加和撤出功能，vBNC/BNC LP Token 也无法铸造和赎回；

- 11 月 28 日，禁用了 Bifrost-Kusama 上的 vBNC 的转账功能，vBNC/BNC LP Token 的转账和交易功能也被禁用，并对地址余额进行了快照；根据快照结果，在 Bifrost-Polkadot 上给用户空投 vBNC 及 vBNC/BNC LP Token；

- 11 月 29 日，开启 Bifrost-Polkadot 上 vBNC 以及 vBNC/BNC LP Token 的铸造和赎回。

请在[这里](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/1862466860379513321)查看 vBNC 在 Bifrost-Polkadot 上的铸造教程。

## BNC 的迁移

BNC 依旧还是通用于 Bifrost-Kusama 和 Bifrost-Polkadot 上的双链资产，在两边都可以正常转账，但在 Bifrost-Kusama 上的 BNC 将没有使用场景。我们还是建议您将 BNC 从 Bifrost-Kusama 跨链到 Bifrost-Polkadot。

由于目前在 Bifrost-Polkadot 和 Bifrost-Kusama 之间没有跨链桥，你需要通过 CEX 来完成跨链操作。

将 Bifrost-Kusama 上的 BNC 充值到 CEX，然后再从 CEX 中提取 BNC，提取的时候选择 Bifrost-Polkadot 网络。

![IMG_1934.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/IMG_1934_545833992c.jpg)

支持 BNC 的中心化交易所有 Gate、Kucoin、MEXC、CoinEX。

## 迁移完成后

迁移完成后的第一场重头戏是 BNC Tokenomics 2.0 的上线，bbBNC 将在 Bifrost-Polkadot 上发布，Bifrost 将面向 bbBNC 持有者全面分享协议利润，迈向新的增长飞轮！

更加长远的计划则是，立足 Polkadot 生态，借助 Polkadot 生态的跨链桥基础设施，扩张 LST 业务，践行全链 LST 战略，将更多生态的 LST 引入的同时，将 vBNC 的使用场景也推向全链。

vBNC 已完成从 Bifrost-Kusama 迁移到 Bifrost-Polkadot

With the ongoing Bifrost 2.0 upgrade, the core goal is to migrate all of Bifrost’s operations from Bifrost-Kusama to Bifrost-Polkadot.

As a test network, Bifrost-Kusama has fulfilled its mission. Bifrost’s operations have now matured enough to justify the migration to the Polkadot ecosystem, which offers a richer set of features, stronger composability, and greater liquidity. This migration is a natural step in Bifrost's evolution.

Importantly, Polkadot has established bridges with more heterogeneous chains, which strategically supports the expansion of Bifrost’s Omnichain LST business.

Once the migration is completed, [BNC Tokenomics 2.0](https://bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-releases-new-tokenomics-proposal-sharing-protocol-profit-to-buy-back-and-burn-bnc) will be fully launched on the Bifrost-Polkadot network.

## vBNC Migration

The first step in the migration process is the migration of Collators. We have initiated the Bifrost-Polkadot Collator system while discontinuing the reward generation for the Bifrost-Kusama Collator system. Collators are encouraged to migrate to Bifrost-Polkadot, a process we've previously detailed in our article "[Bifrost Polkadot Collator is Live: A New Era of Decentralization](https://bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-polkadot-collator-is-live-a-new-era-of-decentralization)".

The second step involves the migration of vBNC. We have successfully launched the new vBNC on the Bifrost-Polkadot network and deactivated the vBNC on Bifrost-Kusama.

The migration of vBNC is being carried out through a snapshot process, with the following steps:

- By November 27: Initializing the vBNC-related operations on Bifrost-Polkadot.
- November 27: Pausing vBNC operations on Bifrost-Kusama. Users will not be able to mint, redeem, or add/remove liquidity from the vBNC/BNC pool. vBNC/BNC LP Tokens can no longer be minted or redeemed.
- November 28: Disabling the transfer function for vBNC on Bifrost-Kusama. The transfer and trading of vBNC/BNC LP Tokens will also be disabled, and the account balances will be snapshot. Based on the snapshot, vBNC and vBNC/BNC LP Tokens will be airdropped to users on Bifrost-Polkadot.
- November 29: Enabling the minting and redemption of vBNC and vBNC/BNC LP Tokens on Bifrost-Polkadot.

For a detailed tutorial on how to mint vBNC on Bifrost-Polkadot, please check [here](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/1862466860379513321).

## BNC Migration

BNC remains a dual-chain asset, usable on both Bifrost-Kusama and Bifrost-Polkadot, allowing transfers on both networks. However, there will be no further use cases for BNC on Bifrost-Kusama, so we recommend migrating BNC from Bifrost-Kusama to Bifrost-Polkadot.

Currently, there is no cross-chain bridge between Bifrost-Kusama and Bifrost-Polkadot, so you will need to use a centralized exchange (CEX) to complete the cross-chain transfer.

To migrate your BNC from Bifrost-Kusama, deposit it into a CEX, and then withdraw it from the exchange, selecting the Bifrost-Polkadot network for the withdrawal.

Supported centralized exchanges for BNC include Gate.io, KuCoin, MEXC, and CoinEx.

![IMG_1935.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/IMG_1935_b9c2795a9e.jpg)

## Post-Migration: What’s Next?

After the migration is completed, the first major event will be the launch of BNC Tokenomics 2.0. bbBNC will be introduced on Bifrost-Polkadot, and Bifrost will share protocol profits with bbBNC holders, setting the stage for a new growth flywheel!

Looking further ahead, Bifrost will leverage the Polkadot ecosystem and its cross-chain bridge infrastructure to expand its LST business. This will fulfill the vision of a full-chain LST strategy, bringing LST from more ecosystems into the fold while broadening the use cases for vBNC across the entire blockchain landscape.

请继续阅读，和我们一起回顾 Bifrost 在 2024 年的高光时刻以及未来计划。

## 新经济模型：共享协议利润

[Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/article-17)已在社区发布，最核心的变化是 bbBNC (Buy Back BNC) 的推出，这是 BNC 的一种锁仓票据，可以通过锁定 vBNC 获得，不仅享有协议治理权，并且可以直接分享 Bifrost 协议的收益。

2024 年，Bifrost 的协议收入达到 792 万美元，[累计协议毛利润达到 169 万美元](https://app.bifrost.io/stats)。

![协议收入.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/_43a3159985.png)

在新经济模型推出后，Bifrost 协议利润的 100% 会用于回购 BNC，并将其中 90% 分配至 bbBNC 持有者。

bbBNC 是实现 Bifrost 正向增长飞轮的引擎，促使代币持有者与 Bifrost 协议利益高度统一起来，共同促进 Bifrost 协议的发展。

![bbbnc.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/bbbnc_dae971b737.png)

## Loop Stake：一键杠杆质押工具

2024 年 3 月，Bifrost 推出了 [Loop Stake](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/bifrost-loop-stake-staking)，这是一款针对 vToken 推出的一键杠杆质押产品，通过闪电贷来直接为用户创建杠杆，帮助实现多倍质押收益率。目前支持杠杆质押的资产有 DOT、KSM，未来将逐步扩展更多平行链资产。

自上线以来，通过 Loop Stake 供应和借出的 DOT 总量达到 170,000+，资金利用率始终保持在 55% 左右，Loop Stake 的推出丰富了 Bifrost LST 的可组合性玩法。

此外，我们的社区也在发展壮大，社区成员总数突破了 150,000，活跃用户数量突破 20,000，总发送消息数量超过 100,000 条！

## 展望 2025：拓展边界，探索可能

在即将到来的 2025 年，对 Bifrost 而言，最重要的便是新经济模型和 bbBNC 的推出。Bifrost Dapp 已经上线了新的协议数据面板，将协议费用和收入公开透明化，为接下来 BNC 的回购和向 bbBNC 持有者分享利润奠定了基础。

从产品层面来说，vToken 的新增和扩展将持续进行，目前 Bifrost 已经完成了 Hyperbridge 测试网的接入，将现有的 vToken 拓展到更多异构链已近在眼前；此外，我们也在尝试接入一些新的 LST，将 SLPx 架构和更多 Token 结合起来。

在活动和内容方面，Bifrost 将持续参与行业内的重大活动，分享 Liquid Staking 的实践经验和 DeFi Appchain 的发展趋势。

让 2024 的成就归于过去，开启 2025 梦想的序章。

Let’s dive into some of the highlights from Bifrost in 2024 and take a glimpse at what lies ahead.

### New Tokenomics: Sharing Protocol Profits with bbBNC Holders

The [Bifrost 2.0 Tokenomics proposal](https://bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-releases-new-tokenomics-proposal-sharing-protocol-profit-to-buy-back-and-burn-bnc) was unveiled to the community this year, with one of the most pivotal changes being **bbBNC** (Buy Back BNC).  [bbBNC](https://bifrost.io/blog/bbbnc-community-faq-a-deep-dive-into-bifrost-tokenomics) is an escrow token and bbBNC holders can directly share in the profits generated by the Bifrost protocol.

In 2024, Bifrost’s protocol fee reached **$7.92 million**, with a total protocol profit of **$1.69 million**.

![协议收入.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/_43a3159985.png)

After the launch of new tokenomics on 2025 Q1, **100% of the protocol’s profits** will be used to buy back BNC, with **90% of that** being distributed to bbBNC holders.

Bifrost is part of the few main DeFi protocols activating protocol revenue sharing. This mechanism drives the flywheel of positive growth, aligning token holders' interests with those of the Bifrost protocol, propelling the entire ecosystem forward.

![bbbnc.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/bbbnc_dae971b737.png)

## Loop Stake: Leverage Staking at Your Fingertips

In March 2024, Bifrost launched [Loop Stake](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vDOT?tab=loopstake), an innovative one-click leveraged staking tool for Bifrost LSTs “vTokens”. Users can create leverage instantly, enhancing their staking yield. Currently, **DOT** and **KSM** are supported, with more parachain assets expected to be added soon.

Since its launch, over **1,000,000$** have been staked via Loop Stake, with a utilization rate hovering around **55%**. Loop Stake has enhanced the flexibility and composability of Bifrost's liquid staking offerings.

![图表一：LoopStake.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Loop_Stake_2b14d12573.png)

## Fellowship: Building Towards Decentralized Governance

[Bifrost's **Fellowship**](https://bifrost.io/blog/insights-into-the-roles-and-responsibilities-of-bifrost-sub-fellowships) follows Polkadot's governance model, bringing together experts from diverse fields to drive long-term growth and development for the protocol.

Currently, the Fellowship consists of **25 members**, including technical developers, DeFi specialists, infrastructure and node operators, community leaders, and ecosystem partners.

## vToken Reward-Share Program

Bifrost’s [vToken reward-share **Program**](https://bifrost.io/blog/earn-long-term-rewards-with-the-bifrost-vtoken-reward-share-program) is a new collaboration incentive initiative that allows partners to join the Bifrost OpenGov community and earn commissions for minting vTokens through their exclusive referral links.

Currently, 9 **channels** have successfully joined the program, with a total minted value of over **$5.6 million**.

![rsp.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/rsp_15405d428d.png)

## Liquid Wave: Airdrop Campaign

To celebrate the launch of bbBNC, Bifrost initiated the [**Liquid Wave** series campaign](https://wave.bifrost.io/). The first phase, **LST Campers**, concluded successfully, with over **300,000 page views** and participation from **100,000+ addresses**. This event resulted in the minting of **Parachain LST Tokens** worth **$3,945,900**.

WAVE, the event's exclusive point, can be exchanged for **bbBNC** once the entire Liquid Wave series is complete.

![图表二：Liquid Wave.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Liquid_Wave_f842454268.png)

## vBNC Migrates to the Bifrost-Polkadot Network

In November 2024, Bifrost completed a major milestone, [migrating all operations from Bifrost-Kusama network to **Bifrost-Polkadot** network](https://bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-has-finished-migration-from-bifrost-kusama-to-bifrost-polkadot). This marks a key step in the Bifrost 2.0 upgrade.

With a more mature business model and the richer ecosystem and liquidity that Polkadot offers, this migration will significantly enhance Bifrost's cross-chain liquid staking services, opening up new opportunities for growth.

## Community Building: Growing Our Global Impact

In 2024, Bifrost made its mark across **10 cities globally**, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Berlin or Brussels. We participated in **27 events**, ranging from online webinars to in-person summits. Our discussions spanned vTokens, DeFi trends, and the practicalities of Liquid Staking. Our community also grew, with **over 150,000 members**, **20,000 active users**, and more than **100,000 messages** exchanged.

![Online & Offline Events.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Online_and_Offline_Events_051e105bb1.png)

## Looking Ahead to 2025: Beyond Boundaries

As we look ahead to 2025, Bifrost's main focus will be the continued rollout of the new tokenomics and bbBNC. The Bifrost Dapp has already introduced a new protocol dashboard, offering full transparency on protocol fees and revenue, laying the groundwork for the upcoming BNC buybacks and profit-sharing with bbBNC holders.

On the product front, we will continue expanding **vToken** assets. The **Hyperbridge testnet** is live, and we are on track to extend vToken to more heterogeneous chains. We are also exploring new LST integrations, combining SLPx architecture with new tokens.

We’ll continue to participate in major industry events, sharing our experiences with Liquid Staking and the development trends of DeFi Appchains.

As we close out 2024, we look forward to turning our achievements into a foundation for the exciting journey ahead in 2025.

Bifrost 2024 Annual Report

Bifrost is excited to announce its partnership with Phala Network and the introduction of a new liquid staking token—**vPHA**. vPHA is the first native liquid staking token which offers Phala holders a unique opportunity to earn staking yield whilst participating in on-chain DeFi.

## What is vPHA Pre-mint?

vPHA represents staked PHA on the Phala chain and returns from staking rewards.  As staking rewards are received, vPHA increases in value, without any change to the quantity of vTokens. 

![vPHA_INFO.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/v_PHA_INFO_91ddabcb39.png)

Pre-Mint refers to the initial phase of vPHA’s development, during which the token operates as a vault contract (ERC-20) deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet. At this stage, vPHA functions as a single-chain liquid staking token. In the future, vPHA will be integrated into Bifrost’s SLP and SLPx, and will be used across multiple blockchains, enhancing its utility and accessibility in DeFi applications.

This Pre-Mint phase provides early adopters with the opportunity to participate in vPHA staking while benefiting from the token’s growth as it evolves into an omnichain LST.

## Why choose vPHA?

vPHA provides a simple way to convert your PHA into a yield-bearing asset. By staking PHA, you can start earning passive income immediately, all while keeping your assets liquid.

Getting started is easy: simply deposit your PHA into [omni.ls](https://omni.ls/stake/vPHA), where it will automatically be converted to vPHA. From the moment of deposit, your vPHA will generate yield through the underlying strategy vaults, allowing you to earn rewards passively.

## How to mint and Unstake vPHA

Before you mint vPHA, you will need **ETH** for gas fees and **PHA** for staking. You can easily acquire both on CEX like Binance and transfer them to your on-chain wallet.

- Connect your wallet and Input the amount of PHA you want to stake, click on "**Approve**" and sign the 1st transaction, then click on "**Stake now**" and sign the 2nd transaction to mint your vPHA.
- Once minted, your vPHA will be deposited directly into your EVM wallet. This process typically takes between 5 to 15 minutes.
- To unstake, click on "Unstake" in the top menu, enter the amount you wish to unstake, and note that the process will take 21 days to complete.

## About Phala Network

[Phala Network](https://phala.network/) is a a next-generation cryptographic computer that enables trustless and verifiable computation for web3 and AI applications. By leveraging a **hybrid infrastructure** including Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), blockchain, Multi-Party Computation (MPC), and Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP), Phala delivers flexible, open-source, and affordable **verification** solutions for any developer, in any type of program.

## About Bifrost

[Bifrost](https://bifrost.io/) is a **Liquid Staking Appchain** tailored for all blockchains, utilizing **decentralized cross-chain interoperability** to empower users to earn staking rewards and DeFi yields with **flexibility**, **liquidity**, and **high security** across multiple chains. 

SLPx is an extension module developed by Bifrost, serving as a developer toolkit that enables the minting of vTokens on any chain. The goal is to simplify the integration of vTokens for more DeFi applications.

Bifrost Partners with Phala Network to Launch vPHA Pre-Mint

As a leading liquid staking appchain, Bifrost has partnered with the next-gen interoperability coprocessor Hyperbridge to successfully deploy **vDOT** (Polkadot’s largest Liquid Staking Token) and BNC (Bifrost’s native token) across **Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain!**

➡️ Bridge your vDOT or BNC to Arbitrum, Optimism, Base and BNB Chain on [Bifrost Dapp](https://app.bifrost.io/crosschain)

## OmniChain Liquid Staking is here!

With new public chains emerging, a multi-chain landscape is on the way. This has driven technical innovations in public chains, but it has also led to liquidity fragmentation and complex user experiences.

Bifrost’s [**SLPx**](https://bifrost.io/slpx), a omnichain liquid staking techstack, is the solution to this challenge. SLPx simplifies multi-chain liquid staking by consolidating liquidity onto a single chain—eliminating the need to bootstrap liquidity across multiple ecosystems, reducing transaction fees, and improving efficiency.

Previously, Bifrost implemented a limited "chain abstraction" within the Polkadot ecosystem. With the integration of Hyperbridge, vDOT and vBNC can now seamlessly operate on BSC, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism, allowing them to be traded and participate in DeFi yield opportunities.

## Seed Pools is Ready!

The seed liquidity pools for BNC and vDOT have been successfully deployed across these networks, and users can start swap at any time! The details are as follows:

![Farming pools - purple-3.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Farming_pools_purple_3_0ea4dbcd9d.png)

Besides, the contract addresses of registered vToken on Layer2 networks are as follows:

## Liquidity Incentive Proposal

On February 13th, Bifrost and Hyperbridge jointly launched a new liquidity incentive proposal, requesting **795,000 DOT** from the Polkadot treasury to support a 12-month liquidity incentive program. The initiative aims to introduce DOT and vDOT into high-traffic ecosystems such as Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum.

All funds from the proposal will be used to support DeFi, lending, liquidity, and other multi-chain financial innovations involving DOT and vDOT, and to attract users and developers to the Polkadot network!

This proposal marks an important step toward a broader Polkadot ecosystem. We invite everyone to discuss the proposal and provide feedback here: [Polkadot DeFi Singularity](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1439)

Bifrost and HyperBridge Bring Polkadot’s Liquid Staking to Multi-Chain DeFi

作为领先的流动性质押应用链，Bifrost 与下一代互操作协议 Hyperbridge 达成合作，已成功将 **vDOT**（DOT 流动性质押代币）和 BNC（Bifrost 原生代币）部署到 **Optimism、Arbitrum、Base 和 BNB Chain！**

现在，已经可以在 Bifrost Dapp 上体验跨链：[https://app.bifrost.io/crosschain](https://app.bifrost.io/crosschain)

## 开启全链流动性质押

新公链层出不穷，多链格局已成趋势，这促进了公链的技术创新，但也导致了应用、资产、用户体验的碎片化。

而 Bifrost 提出的全链架构 SLPx 正是破局之策。Bifrost SLPx 技术栈可以将多链流动性聚合至单一链，降低 Gas费，提升资金效率！

此前，Bifrost 已经在波卡生态内实现了有限的”链抽象“，在 Hyperbridge 的支持下，vDOT 和 vBNC 已经可以跨入 Ethereum、BSC、Base、Arbitrum、Optimism，在这些 EVM 链上进行交易，参与 DeFi 生息机会。

## 种子流动性池已部署

BNC 与 vDOT 的种子流动池已在上述网络完成部署，用户随时可以进行兑换！具体的流动性池子分布和交易对如下：

![Farming pools - purple-3.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Farming_pools_purple_3_0ea4dbcd9d.png)

已注册的 vToken 在 Layer2 网络上的合约地址如下：

这是 Polkadot 生态迈向更广泛生态的重要一步，欢迎大家在这里讨论提案，并提出建设性的意见：[Polkadot DeFi Singularity](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1439)

Bifrost x Hyperbridge：开启 Polkadot 多链流动性！

Following vBNC’s successful migration from Bifrost-Kusama to Bifrost-Polkadot, we proudly unveil **BNC Explorers**—the second phase of the Liquid Wave campaign. 

This stage empowers users to mint vBNC, engage with the ecosystem, and prepare for Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 and step into the new era of **[Fee Switch](https://bifrost.io/blog/fee-switch-revolution-bifrost-rewrites-de-fi-tokenomics-with-profit-sharing-and-buybacks)**.

## Event Period

27 February 2025, 18:00 SGT – 27 March 2025, 18:00 SGT

## Event Rules

Earn WAVE points through the following tasks to claim BNC rewards, convertible to bbBNC post-event:

1. **Mint vBNC**

    - Earn **5 WAVE per 1 vBNC minted**.
    - **10% bonus WAVE** for minting during Week 1.
    - Redeeming vBNC during the event deducts corresponding WAVE points.


2. **Invite & Earn**

    - Inviters receive **10% of their invitees’ minted WAVE points**.
    - Example: If Alice invites Bob, and Bob earns 150 WAVE, Alice gains 15 WAVE.


3. **Convert Raindrops**

    - Exchange legacy Raindrops points for WAVE at **100:1** during the event.


4. **Governance Participation**

    - Voting on designated OpenGov proposals with vBNC unlocks an **additional 10% minting bonus**.

## Rewards

There are three reward pools for this event, including the exclusive minting user pool, the WAVE leaderboard pool, and the invitation pool. All rewards will be settled in BNC.

### Minting Pool

Users who mint vBNC or invite friends to mint vBNC can earn WAVE. Based on the number of WAVE held, users can farm rewards from the BNC prize pool. The more WAVE you hold and the earlier you participate, the more BNC rewards you will receive.

The total amount in the exclusive minting user pool is **20,000 BNC**.

### WAVE Leaderboard Pool

During the event period, the **top 10 addresses with the highest WAVE holdings** will receive an additional **10,000 BNC** in rewards, as detailed below:

![IMG_2655.jpg](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/IMG_2655_0f1c7444ad.jpg)

### Invitation Pool

When users successfully invite others to mint vBNC, they will earn WAVE invitation points. After the event ends, users can exchange their invitation points for corresponding rewards. The total reward pool for the invitation pool is **10,000 BNC**!

The reward a single address can claim is calculated as:

**Reward = (Your Invitation points / Total invitation points) * Total reward pool**

For example, if Alice invites Bob, and Bob successfully mints 30 vBNC, Bob will earn 150 WAVE, and Alice will earn 10% of Bob's minted points, i.e., 15 points. If the total invitation points generated are 1,000, Alice will receive 150 BNC in rewards.

## bbBNC – Coming Soon

After the vBNC event concludes, the launch of bbBNC will follow. All vBNC stakers will be able to share in the profits of the Bifrost protocol.

Revenue Sharing is the core of Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0, which will redefine the value of BNC, provide real protocol profit support for bbBNC, and help the Bifrost protocol form a positive growth flywheel.

Bifrost Monthly Report | February 2025

**Hello Polkadot Community,**

We’re thrilled to announce the second round of DOT unbonding **Subsidy Program.** This is your chance to earn **triple rewards** and enjoy a **compound yield** of up to 33.18%:

1. **vDOT Base Staking Rewards (90d):** 11.81%
2. **vDOT on Hydration Liquid Boost:** 9.37%
3. **vDOT 28-Day Staking Reward Subsidy:** 12%

![Farming pools - purple.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Farming_pools_purple_6dca947622.png)

## What is the Subsidy Program?

The Subsidy Program is a special initiative for those who unbond DOT from nomination pools or classic staking. They are automatically eligible to receive a full **28-day staking reward subsidy** when they mint vDOT on Bifrost.

## How the Subsidy Program Works

**Subsidy Period: From March 1 (UTC+0), 2025 to May 1 (UTC+0), 2025.**

- **Unbond Your DOT:** If you unbond DOT from nomination pools or classic staking during the period, you qualify for the subsidy. *(Note: even if you mint vDOT before June 1, 2025, you will still qualify.)*
- **Mint vDOT on Bifrost:** Once your DOT is unbonded, head over to [**Bifrost**](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vDOT) and mint vDOT. This converts your staked DOT into liquid staking form, allowing you to farm in DeFi protocols while continuing to earn staking rewards.
- **Receive Your Subsidy:** Bifrost will **fully subsidize the missed 28-day staking rewards** that would otherwise be lost during unbonding. You’ll receive these rewards in DOT after the snapshot period.

Bifrost reserves all rights to the final interpretation of this program.

## **Snapshot Rules**

- After the subsidy program ends, we will take a snapshot of the vDOT balances on DOT unbonding addresses 30 days later.
- Subsidy will be distributed based on the vDOT growth from the first vDOT holding snapshot on June 1 (UTC+0).
- The missed staking rewards accrued during the 28-day unbonding period will be distributed as a one-time payout.
- The subsidy will be distributed as a one-time payout following the vDOT holdings snapshot on June 1 (UTC+0), 2025.

### Holdings Included in the Snapshot

The following vDOT holdings will be counted in the snapshot:

- **Bifrost Network**
    - vDOT holdings
    - vDOT in LP (Liquidity Pools)
        - vDOT-USDT LP
        - vDOT-DOT LP
        - vDOT-DOT BLP
        - vDOT-BNC LP
        - vsDOT-vDOT LP
    - vDOT in LoopStake
    - vDOT in Farming Pools
        - vDOT Single Pool
        - LP vDOT-USDT
        - BLP vDOT-DOT
- **Hydration Network**
    - vDOT holdings
    - vDOT in Omnipool
    - vDOT in Farming
    - vDOT in Money Market

## Why Join the Subsidy Program

- **Triple Rewards:** Take advantage of base vDOT staking, Hydration Liquid Boost, and a 28-day unbonding subsidy.
- **Liquidity + Staking:** Maintain liquidity with vDOT while still benefiting from staking rewards.
- **Convenient One-Time Payout:** Subsidy rewards will be settled in DOT, making it easy to access and reinvest as you wish.

## Welcome Unbonded DOT to Bifrost!

We warmly invite everyone unbonding DOT to join Bifrost for liquid staking. Take advantage of the Subsidy Program to enhance staking strategies!

DOT Unbonding Subsidy Program Season II

Hi, DOT Stakers，

DOT 解质押补贴计划自首期推出以来，许多用户通过 vDOT 实现了质押收益+流动性自由的双重突破！

为了让大家更好地体验流动性质押，Bifrost 推出了第二期的 DOT 解质押补贴计划，凡是从提名池或 Classic Staking 中解锁了 DOT 并通过 Bifrost 质押成 vDOT 的用户，均可享受补贴激励！

通过参与我们的计划，您可以享受高达 33.18% 的 DOT 质押收益，具体包括以下三重收益：

- 近 90 天的 vDOT 基础质押奖励：11.81%
- vDOT 在 Hydration 的流动性奖励：9.37%
- 28 天解锁等待期的奖励补贴：12%

![Farming pools - purple.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Farming_pools_purple_6dca947622.png)

## 补贴计划规则

**补贴时间**：从 2025 年 3 月 1 日（UTC+0）到 2025 年 5 月 1 日（UTC+0）；

**补贴资格**：在补贴计划期间，如果您从提名池或 Classic Staking 中解锁了 DOT，就有资格获得补贴；

**补贴额度**：每个地址可获得的最大可补贴数量等于该地址在活动期间内提名池解锁的 DOT 总量；

**如何参与**：从 Classic Staking 或提名池中解锁你的 DOT，并在 Bifrost Dapp 上完成流动性质押（铸造 vDOT）。我们将全额补贴您在 28 天解锁等待期内损失的质押奖励！

结算：补贴奖励将以 DOT 结算。

## 奖励发放规则

补贴计划结束后，我们将在 2025 年 6 月 1 日（UTC+0）对所有活动地址的 vDOT 余额进行快照。

补贴将根据 vDOT 净增长量进行计算。vDOT 净增长量 = 最终快照时的 vDOT 持有量 - 第一次快照时的 vDOT 持有量。

活动结束后，我们会在快照后的两周内一次性发放 28 天解锁期间损失的质押奖励。

vDOT 持仓净增长量的快照范围：vDOT 持有数量、在 Bifrost LP/Farming/LoopStake 和在 Hydration LP/Farming/Money Market 的 vDOT 数量。

质押入口：[DOT 流动性质押](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vDOT)

举个例子，在第一次快照时，地址 A 的 vDOT 余额是 0。在 3 月 1 日 - 5 月 1 日期间，地址 A 从提名池中共解锁了 1,000 DOT，那么该地址可以获得的最高补贴额度为 1,000 DOT。

在 2025 年 6 月 1 日之前，如果地址 A 将 1,000 DOT 铸造为 vDOT，那么地址 A 可以获得大约 9.2 DOT 的补贴奖励。

如果地址 A 只将 500 DOT 铸造为 vDOT，那么地址 A 可以获得大约 4.6 DOT 的补贴奖励。

如果地址 A 将铸造后的 vDOT 放到 Hydration 或 Bifrost Dapp 内进行挖矿，也是计算入持有数量的。

这是提升 DOT 收益的绝佳机会，欢迎在 Bifrost 体验 DOT 流动性质押，实现收益最大化！

我们鼓励解锁 DOT 的用户在 Bifrost 进行流动性质押！享受质押的收益，同时保持流动性。

*活动最终解释权归 Bifrost 所有

2025 年 5 月，Polkadot 社区通过了由 Bifrost 提出的第 1538 号公投，批准向其提供 100 万 DOT 的流动性贷款，为期一年，年利率约为 6%。这笔贷款旨在增强 vDOT 的流动性，推动其在 DeFi 应用中的广泛采用，进一步巩固 Polkadot 在多链质押和跨链金融领域的领先地位。

## 什么是 vDOT？为何它对 Polkadot 至关重要？

[vDOT](https://bifrost.io/vtoken/vdot) 是 Bifrost 推出的 DOT 流动性质押代币，允许用户在保留质押收益的同时，释放资产流动性。随着 DeFi 生态的快速发展，vDOT 已成为多个应用场景中的关键资产，包括：

- 在 Hydration 的货币市场中作为借贷资产；
- 作为 Interlay iBTC Vault 的抵押品；
- 在 Bifrost 的 LoopStake 中实现杠杆质押；
- 通过 Hyperbridge 和 Snowbridge 实现跨链应用，覆盖 Base、Arbitrum、BNB Chain 等多个网络。

截至目前，vDOT 的持有地址已从 2024 年 3 月的 2,820 个增长至接近 6,000 个，增长率接近 100%。

## Bifrost 的贷款提案为何获得 Polkadot 社区高度支持？

Bifrost 在 Kusama 和 Polkadot 生态中有着良好的贷款偿还记录：

2022 年和 2023 年，Bifrost 分别偿还了两笔 50,000 KSM 的贷款，共计为 Kusama 国库带来超过 8,000 KSM 的利息收益。

2024 年初，Bifrost 成功偿还了来自 Polkadot 国库的 500,000 DOT 贷款，并支付了约 42,723 DOT 的质押奖励作为利息。

此次提案的核心目标是：

- 增强 DOT-vDOT 的流动性，降低交易滑点；
- 扩大 vDOT 的应用场景，提升其在 DeFi 生态中的影响力；
- 通过质押收益，为国库带来额外的收益，预计年利率约为 6%。

整个贷款的操作过程将通过 XCM 跨链消息传递协议在链上公开执行，确保透明度和安全性。

## vDOT 的生态扩展：跨链应用与合作伙伴关系

Bifrost 正在积极推动 vDOT 的跨链应用和生态合作：

- 通过 Hyperbridge 和 Snowbridge，[实现 vDOT 在 Base、Arbitrum、BNB Chain 等网络的部署](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/article-38)；
- 与 13 个合作伙伴开展[渠道分佣计划](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/earn-long-term-rewards-and-reward-share-program)，包括 Astar、Subscan、The Kusamarian 等，累计贡献超过 76,000 vDOT，TVL 达到近 400 万美元；
- 在 Interlay 的借贷市场中，vDOT 已成为主要的抵押资产，提升了借贷效率和收益率。

## vDOT 正在成为 Polkadot DeFi 的基石资产

随着此次 100 万 DOT 流动性贷款的批准，vDOT 的流动性和应用场景将进一步扩展，推动其成为 Polkadot DeFi 生态中的核心资产。Bifrost 的稳健运营和创新能力，为 Polkadot 社区带来了新的增长动力。

1,000,000 DOT 流动性贷款提案通过，助力 vDOT 成为 Polkadot DeFi 核心资产！

In a major step to boost DeFi adoption within the Polkadot ecosystem, Bifrost has [secured a 1 million DOT ($4M) liquidity loan from the Polkadot Treasury](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1538). With a clear repayment structure and strong track record, this initiative marks a significant milestone in advancing **Polkadot staking** and reinforcing **Polkadot DeFi** use cases across Substrate parachains and EVM-compatible chains.

## Ref 1538 at a Glance

- **Loan amount**: 1,000,000 DOT
- **Duration**: 1 year
- **Estimated interest**: ~6% (~60,000 DOT via staking rewards)
- **Repayment**: Full principal + interest returned to Treasury at maturity via XCM

This loan will be used to mint [vDOT](https://bifrost.io/vtoken/vdot), a liquid staking token of DOT issued by Bifrost, and deepen liquidity in the vDOT-DOT StableSwap pool—enhancing capital efficiency and unlocking new DeFi integrations.

## Why This Matters for Polkadot Staking

Traditional staking on Polkadot locks assets, limiting their utility across the growing DeFi landscape. vDOT, a liquid staking token, solves this by enabling:

- **Continuous staking rewards** while maintaining liquidity
- **Use as collateral** in lending protocols like Interlay
- **Participation in governance** without unbonding
- **Composable yield strategies** such as leveraged staking via LoopStake

This loan effectively puts idle Treasury capital to work by staking DOT and circulating vDOT into the broader Polkadot DeFi ecosystem.

## Bifrost’s Proven Track Record

Bifrost has previously:

- Repaid 50,000 KSM Treasury loans (2022 & 2023) with interest, delivering over 8,370 KSM to Kusama
- Repaid 542,723 DOT to Polkadot in 2024, including ~42,723 DOT in interest
- Secured an 18-month KSM loan extension in 2024

These successes reinforce Bifrost’s reliability in handling large-scale treasury-backed liquidity operations.

## Explosive Growth of vDOT

vDOT adoption has doubled in just one year:

* **March 2024**: 2,820 holders
* **Today**: 5,000+ holders

Deployed across multiple use cases:

* Yield aggregation (Hydration, Omnipool)
* Money Markets (Hydration, Interlay)
* Governance (OpenGov voting with vDOT)
* Collateral (Interlay’s iBTC Vault)
* Cross-chain integrations (Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain, Moonbeam, Astar)

Over 2.7 million vDOT have been transferred cross-chain, and Omnipool liquidity has surpassed $6M.

## Ecosystem Expansion: Hyperbridge, gigaDOT, and RSP

- **Hyperbridge + Snowbridge** enable vDOT to reach Ethereum, L2s, and BSC
- **gigaDOT** strategy offers composite yield from vDOT + aDOT + incentives
- [Bifrost RSP](https://bifrost.io/blog/earn-long-term-rewards-with-the-bifrost-vtoken-reward-share-program) has onboarded 13+ partners and over $4M in TVL, contributing 76,000 vDOT

These initiatives collectively expand Polkadot staking utility across new chains and user segments.

## Transparent Fund Management & Repayment

- vDOT minted using 600K DOT from the loan
- 400K DOT + 600K DOT worth of vDOT provided to StableSwap
- No impermanent loss due to correlated asset pairing
- Full repayment (1M DOT + staking rewards) via XCM upon loan maturity

All operations are publicly trackable on-chain, ensuring transparency and security.

## Why This Matters for Polkadot DeFi

This proposal showcases how the Polkadot Treasury can:

- Maximize idle capital with on-chain staking rewards
- Empower native protocols like Bifrost to scale
- Strengthen DeFi infrastructure through strategic liquidity injections
- Build a sustainable staking economy without compromising liquidity

Polkadot staking is evolving, and vDOT is at the center of this transformation. By combining staking yield with DeFi usability, Bifrost is unlocking a new chapter in Polkadot DeFi.

With strong community backing and clear incentive plans, the 1M DOT Treasury loan is more than just a funding move—it's a catalyst for long-term ecosystem growth.

How a 1M DOT Treasury Loan is Powering Polkadot Staking and DeFi with vDOT

In the DeFi world, even the smallest vulnerability can trigger millions in losses. Just recently, [Hydration awarded a **$500,000 whitehat bounty**](https://hydration.subsquare.io/referenda/119) for the discovery of a critical flaw that, if left unpatched, could have resulted in **over $22 million** in potential damage — a timely fix that safeguarded both the protocol and user funds.

At Bifrost, we understand that **security is the sword of Damocles hanging over every DeFi protocol**, and that whitehats are the indispensable guardians of this decentralized world. That’s why we’re launching a new bounty program — offering **up to $500,000** for anyone who can find a protocol-level flaw before it’s too late.

If you can find a vulnerability that allows someone to **illegitimately increase the supply of any vToken** (e.g., vDOT, vMANTA, vBNC, etc.) without staking or collateral input — you could earn **up to $500,000 in a single payout**.

This is part of our Immunefi **bug bounty**, designed to uncover the deepest, most dangerous risks in the Bifrost protocol — before malicious actors do.

Bifrost Monthly Report | July 2025

Ethereum staking has become one of the most secure and reliable yield-generating strategies in crypto. As the second-largest blockchain, Ethereum’s staking market has surpassed **$100 billion**, making it the single largest value sink in the DeFi landscape. For ETH holders, staking not only provides sustainable yield, but also represents a direct contribution to network security and the long-term growth of the Ethereum ecosystem.

However, today’s Ethereum staking market faces a structural challenge: **fragmented liquidity**.

High gas fees on Ethereum mainnet have pushed users toward Layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum, Base, and Optimism. Yet most liquid staking protocols still require staking ETH on mainnet. This creates friction—cross-chain complexity, unnecessary time delays, and higher costs. As a result, Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) remain far less seamless to use across chains than native ETH itself.

**This is why Bifrost launches vETH 3.0.**

## vETH 3.0: ETH Liquid Staking on Any Chain

[vETH 3.0](https://bifrost.io/vtoken/veth) is Bifrost's next-generation omnichain liquid staking solution for Ethereum. Rather than simple cross-chain bridging, it represents a fundamental architectural design that enables users to mint and use vETH directly on any supported network—truly delivering on the vision of "one LST, universal across all chains."

**Core Features**

- **Native omnichain minting**: Mint vETH directly using ETH on Ethereum mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and the Polkadot ecosystem—no complex cross-chain operations required
- **Unified liquidity**: Regardless of which chain you mint on, vETH represents the same underlying staked assets with fully synchronized exchange rates and yields
- **Flexible redemption**: Initiate redemption requests from multiple networks, with funds automatically routed through optimal paths

## How Does vETH 3.0 Enable Cross-Chain Staking?

The technical implementation of vETH 3.0 is built on three parts:

### SLPx 2.0

SLPx 2.0 serves as the core contract layer of vETH 3.0, handling minting and redemption requests from different networks. When users initiate minting on Base or Arbitrum, the SLPx contract securely transmits ETH to the Bifrost network for unified management through decentralized cross-chain protocols such as Snowbridge and Hyperbridge, while simultaneously returning vETH to the user.

![Base等 Layer2铸造.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Base_Layer2_615d565ffd.png)

The key advantage of this design: users enjoy a consistent experience on any supported chain, while the underlying cross-chain complexity is fully abstracted away.

### ERC-4626

vETH 3.0 adheres to the ERC-4626 Standard—the unified interface specification for yield-bearing assets in the Ethereum ecosystem. ERC-4626 defines standardized methods for deposits, withdrawals, and share calculations, enabling vETH to integrate seamlessly with any DeFi protocol that supports this standard.

This means lending protocols can directly accept vETH as collateral, while DEXs and aggregators can automatically recognize vETH's yield-bearing properties and incorporate it into more sophisticated strategy compositions.

### Decentralized Validator Services

The security of staked assets depends on validator quality. vETH 3.0 utilizes SSV Network (Secret Shared Validator) as its underlying validator infrastructure. SSV works by splitting validator keys into multiple shares distributed across independently operated nodes—a leading Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) solution in the Ethereum ecosystem.

![SSV.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/SSV_c7545506d6.png)

Currently, SSV Network secures over 4 million ETH (approximately $18 billion) and is trusted by industry giants including Kraken and Lido, making it a battle-tested and proven solution.

## How to Participate in vETH 3.0 Staking and Farming

Minting vETH takes just a few minutes:

1. Visit [Omni.ls](https://omni.ls/stake/vETH)
2. Connect your wallet and select a supported network (Ethereum, Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum)
3. Ensure you have sufficient ETH for staking and gas fees
4. Enter the amount of ETH to stake (minimum 0.001 ETH)
5. Click **“Stake”** and confirm the transaction
6. Base staking APY: **~3.5%**

### **vETH Farming Incentives**

To coincide with the launch of vETH 3.0, a **one-month incentive program** will be live soon on the Bifrost–Polkadot chain. By depositing vETH into the single-asset farming pool, users can earn **vDOT rewards**.

vDOT rewards accrue in real time and can be claimed at any time.

## What's Next for vETH

Ethereum staking should not be constrained by network boundaries. vETH 3.0 represents the next evolution in liquid staking—a decentralized, omnichain ETH staking solution.

The launch of vETH 3.0 is just the beginning. Looking ahead, Bifrost will enable direct conversion of stETH and rETH to vETH, providing existing LST holders with a seamless migration path. Additionally, deeper integration with Hydration is underway, with plans to unlock more DeFi opportunities for vETH holders through Omnipool and gigaETH strategies.

vETH 3.0: The First LST Built for Native Multichain ETH Staking

In 2025, the crypto industry did not arrive at an easy answer.

While ETFs continued to channel institutional capital into the market, the year was equally defined by heightened volatility, closer regulatory scrutiny, and an unprecedented demand for sustainability. Liquid staking has moved beyond being a yield tool—it has evolved into an infrastructure layer that connects multi-chain liquidity, governance, and DeFi returns.

If one word were to define Bifrost’s 2025, it would be **“DELIVERY”**

We delivered on the promise of the new tokenomics “bbBNC”, aligning the interests of the community and the protocol more closely than ever before. We delivered on our yield layer vision, extending vToken accessibility to Ethereum and its Layer2 networks. And we delivered on our commitment to long-term product iteration, closing the year with the release of vETH 3.0—establishing the technical foundation for the next phase of growth.

What follows is a review of Bifrost’s key milestones and achievements throughout the year.

## Key Insights

- **Buyback & Profit Sharing Mode on**: 100% of protocol profits are allocated to BNC buybacks, with 90% distributed to bbBNC holders, marking Bifrost’s transition into a phase of real profitability and yield sharing
- **vToken minting expanded across the board**: vDOT, vBNC, vASTR, and vMANTA all achieved multi-fold growth in staked volume
- **Infrastructure takes shape**: multiple cross-chain solutions integrated, enabling vTokens to natively enter heterogeneous ecosystems such as Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain
- **Product stack completes a generational upgrade**: the launch of vETH 3.0 and SLPx 2.0 solidifies Bifrost’s long-term direction as the staking yield layer.

## Performance Overview

Numbers tell the most honest story.

In 2025, Bifrost generated over \$8.07 million in total protocol revenue, with gross profit reaching \$1.2 million. This marked a clear transition into a more mature phase, driven by sustainable protocol profitability.

On-chain activity remained strong throughout the year. Total transactions exceeded 634,000, with nearly 39,000 active addresses. The Bifrost dApp recorded more than 1.16 million cumulative page views and close to 39,000 unique users, indicating the emergence of a stable and recurring user base.

Community growth also stayed healthy. By year-end, total community membership reached 138,000, with over 27,000 vToken-holding addresses and more than 130,000 BNC holders.

![report-overview.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_overview_e8b9024b75.png)

Despite increased market volatility in the second half of the year, minting volumes across multiple vTokens continued to grow significantly—reflecting improved liquidity retention and stronger product stickiness across the protocol.

### bbBNC: Sharing with Holders

**This represents the most important narrative shift for Bifrost in 2025.**

Historically, many DeFi governance tokens have struggled with a fundamental problem: beyond voting rights, holders had little exposure to the economic upside of protocol growth. bbBNC was designed to break this pattern.

Built on an enhanced veToken model, bbBNC directs 100% of protocol profits toward BNC buybacks, with 90% distributed directly to bbBNC holders.

Market response exceeded expectations. BNC locked rapidly surpassed **16 million tokens**, accounting for over **20% of total supply**. By year-end, the protocol had cumulatively repurchased more than **1.72 million BNC**, of which **172,000 BNC** were permanently burned.

![report-bbbnc.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_bbbnc_fd950a1af8.png)

We believe that only when protocol success is meaningfully aligned with community interests can a truly durable ecosystem be built.

## vTokens: Broad-Based Growth Across the Stack

In 2025, multiple vTokens under the Bifrost umbrella achieved substantial growth, reaffirming sustained demand for liquid staking across multi-chain environments.

![datavtoken.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/datavtoken_6e02f04637.png)

**vDOT** remained the core growth engine. Minted supply increased from approximately 7 million at the beginning of the year to **18 million** by year-end—representing over **157% growth**, with peak issuance surpassing **24 million**. vDOT continues to lead the Polkadot ecosystem as its most liquid staking asset.

**vBNC** growth was closely tied to the launch of the bbBNC economic model. As more users opted to lock BNC for protocol revenue participation, demand for vBNC rose in parallel, with minted supply approaching **20 million** by year-end.

**vASTR** maintained steady momentum, doubling from 50 million to **100 million** over the course of the year. Continued expansion within the Astar ecosystem provided a solid demand foundation.

**vMANTA** experienced breakout growth following the release of vMANTA 2.0. Minted supply rose from 8 million to **22 million**, an increase of nearly **175%**. Instant minting and improved cross-chain UX were the primary drivers behind this acceleration.

## vETH 3.0: The First Native ETH LST on Multichains

On December 18, Bifrost officially launched vETH 3.0—its most significant step into the Ethereum ecosystem to date.

With over **$100 billion** staked, Ethereum represents the largest value pool in DeFi. vETH 3.0 rethinks liquidity architecture from the ground up, delivering on the vision of “one LST, natively usable everywhere.” Users can mint vETH directly on Ethereum mainnet, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Bifrost-Polkadot, without complex bridging workflows.

**vETH 3.0 marks Bifrost’s formal entry into the competition for omnichain LST infrastructure.** Next, Bifrost will support direct conversions from stETH and rETH into vETH, enabling seamless migration for existing LST holders. Deeper integration with Hydration is also underway, leveraging Omnipool and gigaETH strategies to unlock broader DeFi use cases for vETH holders.

## Reward Share Program (RSP)

The [vToken Reward Share Program](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/earn-long-term-rewards-and-reward-share-program) has become a key driver of Bifrost’s TVL growth. Its premise is simple: partners who help grow Bifrost should continue to share in the protocol’s success.

In 2025, the number of RSP partners expanded to **15**, collectively driving over **$1.8 million** in effective TVL. Subscan and WUD emerged as standout contributors.

![report-rsp.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_rsp_66ee6a376a.png)

Bifrost’s growth does not rely solely on internal marketing spend. Through ecosystem-level collaboration, partners become both co-builders and beneficiaries of long-term value creation.

## Liquid Wave: The Power of Community Participation

In 2025, Bifrost successfully completed the [Liquid Wave airdrop campaign](https://wave.bifrost.io/), the largest community incentive initiative in the protocol’s history.

The campaign page recorded over **100,000 visits**, with **37,131 addresses** participating. TVL driven through the campaign exceeded **$3.17 million**, and more than **135 million WAVE points** were distributed.

Liquid Wave represented a deep engagement experiment with the community. Through a points-based system and phased tasks, users were introduced to the value of vTokens, experienced the convenience of liquid staking firsthand, and became long-term participants in the Bifrost ecosystem.

## Security First

For a liquid staking protocol managing tens of millions of dollars in assets, security is paramount. In 2025, Bifrost completed several critical upgrades across its technical and security stack.

At the protocol level, the **Runtime 20000/21000 upgrade series** significantly improved performance and stability. **AssetHub migration support** was completed in preparation for the Polkadot 2.0 era. Deep integration with **Hyperbridge** established robust cross-chain communication channels, laying the groundwork for multi-chain vToken expansion.

On the security front, Bifrost partnered with Immunefi, maintaining a bug bounty program with rewards of up to **$500,000**.

## Ecosystem Collaboration

Throughout 2025, Bifrost established deep partnerships across the ecosystem.

**DeFi Singularity** was one of the year’s most impactful collaborative initiatives. Through joint incentives with Hyperbridge, the campaign successfully attracted over **$4,000,000** in cross-chain TVL, extending vDOT yield opportunities from Polkadot into Ethereum, Base, and beyond.

On the developer side, Bifrost partnered with OneBlock and PaperMoon to host a global hackathon with a total prize pool of **$12,000**.

## Community and Global Presence

In 2025, the Bifrost team traveled to **10 cities worldwide**, participating in **27 events**.

From Token2049 in Singapore to Korea Blockchain Week in Seoul, from Hong Kong to Buenos Aires, we remained committed to engaging with the community both online and offline—sharing vToken updates, discussing DeFi trends, and showcasing the latest liquid staking innovations.

![report-event.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_event_2f0a94e6ee.png)

These events were not merely about visibility. They served as vital channels for listening, feedback, and iteration. Many of Bifrost’s most important product decisions originated from these face-to-face conversations.

## Closing Thoughts

If “delivery” defines 2025, it refers not to a single outcome, but to a capability.

This year, Bifrost chose to do the hard things well: turning tokenomics into real buybacks and revenue distribution, transforming omnichain ambition into verifiable cross-chain functionality, and distilling product iteration into reusable, long-term technical frameworks.

We deliberately chose a path without shortcuts—stabilizing infrastructure first and grounding growth in genuine demand. These choices may not always generate the loudest headlines, but they determine whether a protocol remains resilient under pressure.

In 2026, we build forward from this foundation: stronger systems, a more diverse product suite, deeper collaboration, and staking yield solutions for stablecoins, DeFi, and real-world assets.

In a rapidly evolving crypto landscape, steady progress requires continuous exploration and persistent innovation. What carries us through each phase is a deep commitment to the industry—and the long-term trust of our community.

The period at the end of 2025 is also the starting point of 2026. We will continue to turn every promise into the next verifiable delivery.

Bifrost 2025 Annual Report

2025 年，加密行业并没有迎来一个简单的答案。

在 ETF 推动机构资金持续进入的同时，市场也经历了更频繁的波动、更严格的审视，以及对“可持续性”前所未有的要求。流动性质押不再只是提升收益的工具，而是演变为连接多链流动性、治理与 DeFi 收益的基础设施层。

如果用一个词来总结 Bifrost 的 2025 年，这个词是「兑现」。

我们兑现了 bbBNC 经济模型的承诺，让社区与协议利益前所未有地紧密联结；我们兑现了全链愿景，让 vToken 的足迹延伸至 Ethereum 及其 Layer2 网络；我们也兑现了对产品迭代的坚持，在年末发布了 vMANTA 2.0 与 vETH 3.0 ，确立了下一阶段的技术基底。

接下来，我们将回顾 Bifrost 在这一年中完成的重要进展与阶段性成果。

## Key Insights

- **回购+分红模式正式开启**：100% 协议利润用于 BNC 回购，90% 分配给 bbBNC 持有者，Bifrost 进入真实盈利与分红阶段
- **vToken 铸造规模全面增长**：vDOT、vBNC、vASTR、vMANTA 质押量均实现倍数级提升
- **全链基础设施成型**：集成多个跨链解决方案，vToken 开始原生进入 Ethereum、Base、Arbitrum、BNB Chain 等异构链生态
- **产品线完成代际升级**：vETH 3.0 和 SLPx 2.0 的发布，确立“多链原生 LST + 基础设施层”的长期方向

## 数据概览

数字是最诚实的叙述者。

2025 年，Bifrost 协议总收入突破 **807 万美元**，累计协议毛利润达到 **120 万美元**。这意味着 Bifrost 已经从「靠激励驱动」的早期阶段，迈入「靠产品盈利」的成熟阶段。

在链上活跃度方面，全年总交易笔数超过 63.4 万**笔**，活跃地址数接近 **3.9 万个**。Dapp 累计浏览量突破 **116 万次**，访问用户数接近 **3.9 万人**。这些数据表明，Bifrost 的产品已经形成了稳定的用户基础和使用习惯。

社区规模同样保持健康增长。截至年底，社区成员总数达到 **13.8 万人**，vToken 持有者超过 **2.7 万个地址**，BNC 持有者更是突破 **13 万个地址**。

![report-overview.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_overview_e8b9024b75.png)

尽管下半年市场波动加剧，Bifrost 多个 vToken 的铸造量仍然实现了大幅度增长，反映出协议在流动性留存与产品粘性方面的成熟度正在提升。

### bbBNC：让协议增长惠及每一位持有者

**这是 2025 年 Bifrost 最重要的叙事转变。**

在过去，DeFi 协议的代币往往面临「治理代币无实际价值」的困境——持有者除了投票，几乎无法分享协议成长的收益。bbBNC 的推出，正是为了打破这一僵局。

bbBNC 是一种基于 veToken 模型的增强版经济设计，协议利润的 100% 用于回购 BNC，其中 90% 直接分配给 bbBNC 持有者。

bbBNC 上线后，市场反应超出预期。BNC 锁仓量迅速突破 **1600 万枚**，占 BNC 总供应量的 **20% 以上**。截至年底，协议已累计回购超过 **172 万枚 BNC**，其中 **17.2 万枚**已被永久销毁。

![report-bbbnc.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_bbbnc_fd950a1af8.png)

我们相信，只有当协议的成功与社区的利益真正统一，才能构建长久繁荣的生态。

## vToken：多点突破

2025 年，Bifrost 旗下多个 vToken 均实现了显著增长，印证了流动性质押在多链生态中的持续需求。

![datavtoken.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/datavtoken_6e02f04637.png)

**vDOT** 依然是 Bifrost 增长的核心引擎。年初铸造量约为 700 万枚，年末已攀升至 **1800 万枚**，增长率超过 **157%**，峰值更是突破 **2400 万枚**。vDOT 在 Polkadot 生态中的市场份额持续领先，成为该生态最具流动性的质押资产。

**vBNC** 的增长与 bbBNC 经济模型的上线密切相关。随着越来越多用户选择锁定 BNC 获取协议分红，vBNC 的铸造需求同步上升，年末铸造量接近 **2000 万枚**。

**vASTR** 保持稳健增长态势，从年初的 5000 万枚增长至年末的 **1 亿枚**，实现翻倍。Astar 生态的持续发展为 vASTR 提供了坚实的需求基础。

**vMANTA** 在 vMANTA 2.0 发布后迎来爆发式增长。从年初的 800 万枚一路攀升至 **2200 万枚**，增幅接近 **175%**。vMANTA 2.0 带来的即时铸造和更优的跨链体验，是这一增长的核心驱动力。

## vETH 3.0：进入以太坊 LST 竞争层

12 月 18 日，Bifrost 正式发布 vETH 3.0，这是 Bifrost 在以太坊生态的关键落子。

以太坊质押市场规模超过 **1000 亿美元**，是 DeFi 世界中最大的价值沉淀池。vETH 3.0 从底层架构出发，重新设计流动性框架，真正实现「一个 LST，全链通用」的愿景。用户可以在 Ethereum 主网、Base、Arbitrum、Optimism、Bifrost-Polkadot 等多个网络直接使用 ETH 铸造 vETH，无需繁琐的跨链操作。

**vETH 3.0 标志**着 Bifrost 正式升级为全链 LST 基础设施的竞争者。接下来，Bifrost 将支持 stETH/rETH 直接转换为 vETH，让现有 LST 持有者无缝迁移，同时推进与 Hydration 的深度整合，通过 Omnipool 和 gigaETH 策略为 vETH 持有者创造更多 DeFi 场景。

## **Reward Share Program（RSP）**

[vToken 渠道分佣计划](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/earn-long-term-rewards-and-reward-share-program)是 Bifrost TVL 增长中的一个重要部分引擎。这一计划的核心理念很简单：让帮助 Bifrost 成长的合作伙伴，持续分享协议的收益。

2025 年，RSP 计划的合作伙伴数量累计增长到 **15 个**，累计有效引导 TVL 超过 **180 万美元**。其中，Subscan 和 WUD 表现尤为突出。

![report-rsp.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_rsp_66ee6a376a.png)

Bifrost 的增长不必完全依赖自身的市场投入，而是可以通过「生态协同」的方式，让合作伙伴成为增长的共建者和受益者。

## Liquid Wave：社区参与的力量

2025 年，Bifrost 顺利完成了 [Liquid Wave 系列空投活动](https://wave.bifrost.io/)，这是 Bifrost 有史以来规模最大的社区激励计划。

活动页面累计访问量突破 **10 万次**，共有 **37,131 个地址**参与了活动。通过活动引导的铸造 TVL 超过 **317 万美元**，累计发放的 WAVE 积分超过 **1.35 亿枚**。

Liquid Wave 是 Bifrost 与社区深度互动的重要实践，通过积分体系和阶段性任务，我们让更多用户有机会了解 vToken 的价值，体验流动性质押的便利，并成为 Bifrost 生态的长期参与者。

## 安全至上：完善基础设施

对于一个管理着数千万美元资产的流动性质押协议而言，安全是生命线。2025 年，Bifrost 在技术架构和安全体系上完成了多项关键升级。

在底层架构方面，Bifrost 完成了 **Runtime 20000/21000 系列升级**，显著提升了链上处理效率和稳定性。同时，我们完成了 **AssetHub 迁移支持**，为 Polkadot 2.0 时代的资产管理做好准备。**Hyperbridge 深度集成**的完成，则打通了 Bifrost 与异构链之间的通信通道，为 vToken 的多链扩展奠定了技术基础。

在安全保障方面，Bifrost 持续与 Immunefi 合作，推出最高 **50 万美元**的漏洞赏金计划。

## 生态合作

2025 年，Bifrost 与多个项目建立了深度合作关系。

**DeFi Singularity** 是年度最重要的生态合作活动之一。通过与 Hyperbridge 的联合激励，该活动成功引导跨链 TVL 超过 **400 万美元**，让 vDOT 的收益机会从 Polkadot 延伸至 Ethereum、Base 等多条链。

在开发者生态方面，Bifrost 联合 OneBlock 和 PaperMoon 举办了总奖金池达 **12,000 美元**的全球黑客松。

## 社区与全球活动

2025 年，Bifrost 团队的足迹遍布全球 **10 座城市**，累计参与了 **27 场活动**。

从新加坡的 Token2049 到首尔的韩国区块链周，从中国香港到布宜诺斯艾利斯，无论是线上直播还是线下峰会，我们始终坚持与社区面对面交流，分享 vToken 产品动态、探讨 DeFi 行业趋势、展示 Liquid Staking 的最新实践。

![report-event.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/report_event_2f0a94e6ee.png)

这些活动不仅是品牌曝光的机会，更是我们倾听社区声音、收集用户反馈的宝贵渠道。许多重要的产品决策，正是来源于这些面对面的交流。

## 结语

如果说「兑现」是 2025 年的关键词，那么它所指向的，并不是一次结果，而是一种能力。

这一年，Bifrost 选择把复杂的事情做扎实：把经济模型真正落到回购与分红机制上，把全链愿景落实为可用、可验证的跨链能力，把产品迭代沉淀为能够长期复用的技术框架。

我们选择了一条并不取巧的路径——把基础设施先做稳，将增长建立在真实需求之上。这些选择未必制造最大的声量，但它们决定了协议在不同时刻、不同压力下是否依然成立。

而 2026 年，将是在此基础上的进一步推进：更稳健的系统、更多元的产品、更广泛的协作，以及为 稳定币、DeFi、RWA 提供质押收益。

加密世界瞬息万变，唯有不断探索、持续创新，才能在浪潮中稳步前行。而支撑我们走过每一段旅程的，始终是对行业的热爱与坚持，以及来自社区的长期信任。

2025 年的句号，亦是 2026 年的起点。我们会继续把每一次承诺，变成下一次可被验证的兑现。

月报｜Bifrost 推出 SLPx Skill，开启 AI 与质押融合新探索

In March, Bifrost continued to push forward both protocol-level upgrades and product innovation. 

Runtime 23003 was successfully deployed, introducing optimizations to LoopStake logic and bringing SLPv2 live on Kusama.

Runtime 24000 entered the testing phase with a series of structural improvements, including a streamlined SLP protocol, removal of legacy staking logic for vMOVR, vGLMR, and vASTR, the addition of cross-chain price feed logic in SLPv2, enhanced safety constraints for vToken exchange rate changes, and further optimizations across SLPx cross-chain fee handling and bbBNC lock and redemption mechanisms, alongside fixes for potential LP token calculation issues and overflow risks, as well as updates to minimum Collator requirements on Bifrost-Polkadot.

On the product side, Bifrost Dapp 1.12.0 has been released with multiple UX improvements, including a redesigned DVT Voting interface, dynamic vETH redemption timing, automatic network switching on cross-chain pages, improved node status visibility, better handling of fee loading timeouts, vToken unstaking countdown display, and refinements to the homepage stats module, while Dapp 1.12.1 remains in testing with ongoing development focused on upcoming vDOT campaign integrations.

Bifrost’s Total Value Locked (TVL) reached $24,640,000 this month.

A key highlight was the launch of the [SLPx Skill](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2037469041812721681?s=20), the first staking skill designed for the Agent Economy, integrating with AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, and OpenClaw to enable users to autonomously stake and unstake ETH across chains, query APY and TVL across all vTokens, and maintain full control of private keys locally. 

At the same time, the dApp introduced a new feature allowing users to compare Mint and Swap routes when minting vDOT, automatically highlighting the more efficient option, which you can explore in detail [here](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2033893020316406017?s=20).

Beyond core product development, the Bifrost team also introduced [DOT Pixel](https://testnet.dotpixel.io/), a fully on-chain pixel art game built on Polkadot Hub, where a 1000×1000 canvas represents one million pixels, each placement is an on-chain transaction, and the final buyer wins the prize pool, offering a creative exploration of on-chain interaction design as part of the Polkadot 2026 Hackathon. 

Meanwhile, the [DeFi Singularity](https://defisingularity.com/explore) campaign continues to expand, with Bifrost providing ongoing vDOT liquidity incentives across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain via Uniswap.

On the ecosystem front, Bifrost Founder Lurpis joined a PolkaWorld livestream on March 24 to discuss Polkadot’s evolving economic model, covering staking strategy optimization under new DOT supply rules, the intersection of AI and liquid staking, and the future of cross-chain liquidity through DeFi Singularity, with the full session available [here](https://x.com/polkaworld_pro/status/2036297748019028429). 

On March 25, Bifrost was selected for [Astar Network dApp Staking Period 007](https://x.com/AstarNetwork/status/2036760103949607246), continuing to advance liquid staking adoption within the Astar ecosystem through vASTR, which enables users to maintain staking exposure while unlocking liquidity and improving capital efficiency across DeFi use cases.

In addition, on March 27, Bifrost partnered with Faroo to launch a Pharos whitelist campaign, allowing users holding vDOT, vETH, or vBNC to participate, with SLPx serving as the underlying infrastructure to unlock composable liquidity for staked assets, as detailed [here](https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2038605148310864078). 

To close out the month, on March 31, Bifrost DevRel Lead Tyrone joined the Polkadot March Roundtable alongside participants from Harbour Industrial Capital and Kylix Finance to discuss key developments including the DOT ETF narrative, DAP rollout, and inflation adjustments, providing insights into the broader direction of the Polkadot ecosystem, with the replay available [here](https://x.com/polkaworld_org/status/2037552909496508526).

## Product Updates

Bifrost’s Total Value Locked (TVL) reached **$28,335,679** in April.

Following an **MMR proof replay attack** on the Hyperbridge gateway contract, the Bifrost team immediately took action:

* All Bifrost–Hyperbridge cross-chain channels were disabled
* Minting and redemption services related to Hyperbridge were suspended
* Hyperbridge’s permission to mint/burn vTokens was revoked

The team confirmed that **all core on-chain reserves remain fully backed 1:1**, and all native vTokens are secure (with the exception of mirrored assets bridged to Base, such as vDOT, which were isolated). No unauthorized minting occurred.

Core Polkadot functionalities, including staking, trading, lending, and XCM cross-chain services, remain fully operational and unaffected. The team continues to work with Hyperbridge on security assessments and will restore services once conditions are deemed safe.

In parallel, the Bifrost team introduced a new project, [PROS Pixel](https://prospixel.xyz/), a fully on-chain pixel art game built on Pharos Network. Featuring a 1000×1000 canvas (1 million pixels), each interaction is recorded as an on-chain transaction, with the final buyer claiming the prize pool under the concept: “Paint pixels. Win the pot.”

On April 28, **Pharos Network Pacific Era mainnet** officially launched with over 50 dApps going live on day one. Faroo, powered by Bifrost infrastructure, launched as a native partner, building a **Hybrid Yield** framework on Pharos. This enables staked $PROS to become composable yield-bearing assets, combining network staking rewards with real-world income streams.

Bifrost April Update: Security & RWA Expansion

Announcements

公告

Although the Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) sector has gained attention after the Shapella Upgrade, the product offered within this category is not new. Staking-related services have been offered since the beginning of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

Liquid staking is the service that provides the most significant benefit to stakers, lowering the staking threshold, fixed by projects, and enhancing the capital efficiency of users. At the same time, LSTs are important underlying assets in DeFi, creating the possibility of multiple returns, contributing to the birth of a brand new category: LSTFi.

# How has Bifrost evolved?

Bifrost started working on this sector back in 2019 and is now providing LST services up to 9 public chains. Among those, Bifrost provides vETH, the ETH Liquid Staking Token.

vETH was launched on its version 1.0 in 2020. After completing the Shapella Upgrade, the vETH contract was upgraded to version 2.0, enabling features such as the withdraw of Staked ETH.

# What are the advantages of vETH？

Compared to other types of ETH Liquid Staking Tokens, vETH has three significant advantages:

- Competitive yields 
- High security
- Dual ecosystem

Let explain those, below:

## Competitive Yields of vETH

Most of the existing ETH LST yields are set around 4%.

vETH offers a very competitive yield, hovering around 6.9%!

This happens because Bifrost distributes the MEV revenue of the nodes to vETH holders in addition to the primary staking revenue.

In addition to the base yield, vETH offers a higher overlay yield as vETH holders can provide liquidity to the vETH/WETH pool on Balancer and earn trading fees from all trades made on the vETH/WETH pool. Users can stake vETH/ETH BPT to Aura Finance and earn AURA and BAL incentives.

![1_Tag_XOF2E368M85ovrUg3w.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_Tag_XOF_2_E368_M85ovr_Ug3w_b08dc377e5.webp)

The yield from the vETH /WETH pool fee is about 1.0%, while the AURA and BAL incentives obtained by staking BPT yields 12.6%. Adding these and the base yield of 6.9% means users could end up with a combined yield of over 9%!

In addition to Aura Finance, Bifrost is also working to include vETH or BPT-vETH/WETH in more LSTFi protocols to give users more flexible interest-bearing options.

## High Security of vETH

vETH adopts an entirely decentralized and non-custodial solution. Every single ETH users entrust Bifrost is delegated to nodes through on-chain contracts and pledged to the Ethereum Network. They are controlled by the contract code and third parties are not able to modify the entrusted node.

As with the PoS consensus, staked ETH may be slashed due to the misbehavior of the validators. We spread the ETH as much as possible to hedge the risk of staked ETH being slashed.

Bifrost also score the credit of the validators and select those with high credit to enter the validator White List (VWL). Currently, there are 130 validators commissioned by vETH. In addition, Bifrost has a complete and proper buffer, stop-loss, and even a compensation mechanism in case of slash events.

## Dual Ecosystem of vETH

Bifrost is a parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem, and vETH has both the ERC20 and Substrate formats. With the cross-chain bridge, Bifrost allows vETH to travel freely between the Polkadot and the Ethereum ecosystems and be available for the potential growth opportunities they bring. At the same time, thanks to the XCM, vETH can circulate easily on all Substrate-based chains and thoroughly combine with the protocols on each parachain, providing almost endless opportunities.

Currently, Bifrost is one of the most successful LST protocols in the Polkadot ecosystem, hence why we are confident vETH has the opportunity to become the most widely circulating ETH LST in the Polkadot eco.

The dream would be to even surpass the circulation of ETH token itself, within the Polkadot ecosystem, becoming the “improved ETH” available inside the network and carrying its interest-bearing properties.

This is a unique advantage of Bifrost in the actual LST Scenario.

With vETH as a medium, Bifrost will stimulate the development of LSTFi in the Polkadot ecosystem. EVM and Substrate ecosystem developers, on the other hand, can integrate vETH as a base asset into their products.

# Conclusion

Bifrost has been build and secured by Polkadot for a very long time and the initial hope of going beyond single-chain LST and becoming an omni-chain LST protocol thanks to the XCM integration, is finally a possibility.

Bifrost brings an asset such as vETH to the Polkadot ecosystem and LSTFi applications that can fully stimulate the Polkadot ecosystem. We expects vETH being valued more than just an integrated token on Ethereum. Our vision demands vETH to be the underlying asset in the omni-chain DeFi.

We encourage developers to develop full-chain LSTFi applications based on vToken and provide incentives by inviting everyone to build together.

The 2023 Polkadot Eco Summer Hackathon is in full swing and on top of those hackathons already announced, Bifrost is working to launch new LST challenges and hackathons over the rest of the year.

Unique vETH Applications: Unlocking Polkadot LSTFi Potential

# 什么是杠杆质押？

尽管 LST 在 PoS 共识机制诞生伊始便已存在，但让 LST 受到加密行业大规模关注的事件是以太坊的上海升级。ETH 的 LST 给加密市场提供了某种接近固定收益产品的资产，类似于美元的债券。在各种 DeFi 协议中，ETH LST 正在取代 ETH，成为更通用的基础资产。与此同时，加密行业中产生了各种基于 LST 的可组合性玩法 — 杠杆质押便是其中非常典型的一种。

杠杆质押是一种将 LST 协议与借贷协议组合起来的玩法。以 ETH 为例，在杠杆质押过程中，通常会用到借贷协议中的 ETH/ETH LST 流动性，因为它不需要太大的超额抵押率。在 AAVE 中，抵押 ETH 借出 stETH，超额抵押率仅需 107.5% 左右（抵押 1 ETH，最多借出约 0.93 ETH 价值的 stETH），而如果你要质押 ETH，借出 USDT，超额抵押率可能高达 130%（抵押 1 ETH，最多只能借出约 0.77 ETH 价值的 USDT）。

这是因为，ETH/ETH LST 具有较强的价格相关性，而且 ETH LST 中会积累 Staking 收益，还会呈现 ETH 本位价格的单向上涨。

杠杆质押可以通过手动循环质押来实现：

- 比如你有 1 ETH
- 你铸造 1 ETH LST （假设铸造汇率为 1:1）
- 然后你在借贷协议中，抵押 1 ETH LST 借出 0.93 ETH
- 紧接着，你可以将 0.93 ETH 再次铸造为 0.93 ETH LST

以此类推，你可以循环很多次，放大你的收益率，直到借贷利率超过质押收益率，这种行为就不再有利可图。

但是上述这种手动进行循环质押的操作效率非常低，而且会多笔的操作还会消耗很多 Gas，因此 DeFi 领域也出现了专门的杠杆质押管理工具，允许用户一键完成杠杆质押。

&emsp;

# Bifrost 推出 vToken 杠杆质押产品 Loop Stake

波卡生态的用户，同样希望通过杠杆质押放大收益率。如果通过手动操作来实现，用户除了需要手动频繁操作之外，还可能需要在平行链间来回跨越资产（如果借贷池与 LST 协议不在一条平行链上）。

作为波卡生态领先的 LST 协议，Bifrost 推出了 Loop Stake，这是一款针对波卡生态资产的杠杆质押工具。用户可以通过 Bifrost.dapp 进入 vToken 管理界面，感受一键进行杠杆质押的丝滑体验。产品上线初期，Loop Stake 支持杠杆质押的资产有 DOT、KSM，将逐步扩展更多平行链资产。

点击 [Bifrost Loop Stake](https://bifrost.app/vstaking/vDOT?tab=loopstake)

Loop Stake 将允许用户根据自己的风险偏好，设定和管理杠杆率，并且一键完成杠杆质押，在背后，Loop Stake 通过闪电贷来直接为用户创建杠杆，无需循环借贷，减少了交易笔数，Gas 消耗更加低廉。

Loop Stake 有以下特性：

&emsp;

## 最高 4 倍杠杆

Loop Stake 支持设置最高 4 倍的杠杆率。

如果你不使用杠杆：

1 DOT 可以质押为 0.73 vDOT（当前汇率1:0.73），按照波卡网络当前的激励参数，年化收益率约为 18%，一年你可以获得 0.18 DOT 的收益。

如果不满足于这样的收益率，你可以使用 Loop Stake：

假设你使用 4 倍杠杆，1 DOT 可以放大为 4 DOT（通过闪电贷借入 3 DOT），然后 4 DOT 质押铸造为 2.92 vDOT（铸造完成后，vDOT 会放入抵押池，闪电贷就会转化为真正的抵押借贷）。你会获得 2.92 vDOT 带来的质押收益，同时你会支付借出 3 DOT 的借贷利息。最终的净收益率，就是你能实际获得的收益率。
![0_OnxkBEbrJ3cC_MEy.webp](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/0_Onxk_B_Ebr_J3c_C_M_Ey_722dc559d1.webp)

我们假设借贷利率为 10%，且保持不变。3 DOT 一年的借贷利息为 0.3 DOT，2.92 vDOT 期初可赎回 4 DOT，期末可赎回约 4.72 DOT，收益为 0.72 DOT，0.72 DOT-0.3 DOT = 0.42 DOT，这就是你的净收益。相比不使用杠杆的 0.18 DOT 质押收益, 你的收益被放大为了原来的 2.33 倍。

&emsp;

## 聚合全链借贷池流动性

杠杆质押需要用到借贷池的流动性，因此 Loop Stake 对生态保持开放，力求聚合波卡生态的全链流动性，为用户提供最优的借贷利率。借助波卡的 XCM 消息和 Bifrost 的 Omni 模块，Loop Stake 可以远程调用任何其他平行链上借贷池流动性，例如我们可以远程使用 Interlay Lend 和 Hydradx Omnipool 中的 DOT/vDOT 借贷池。

但考虑到杠杆质押的业务量上升是一个过程，在 Loop Stake 产品上线初期，我们采取的方案是在 Bifrost 本地创建一个借贷池提供借贷流动性，后续会逐渐扩展。

&emsp;

# 杠杆质押的风险
杠杆质押是以放大风险为代价去放大收益的。如果你设置了较高的杠杆率，你将承受更多的风险。尽管 vToken/Token 的价格比是比较稳定，且呈现单向上升趋势，但某些极端情况下，也可能会使这种锚定受到冲击。

- 预言机问题：预言机报价可能发生错误或者被恶意操纵；
- Slash 风险：节点作恶或者网络故障可能导致 Slash，从而造成 Staking 资产减少，vToken 价格下降；
- 市场操纵：通过大批量的买卖行为，操纵 vToken/Token 的价格产生波动；
- 代码风险：杠杆质押模块或者 SLP 模块可能存在代码漏洞。

这些情况都有可能导致 vToken 的价格异常下行，造成您质押的本金被清算平仓，您设置的杠杆率越高，抵御这种风险的能力就越差。

我们实行一系列措施来规避上述问题：

- 多元化预言机：我们从 4 家预言机服务商获取报价，个别预言机的异常值会被排除掉。
- Slash 保护：Bifrost 采取系统的 Slash 保护策略，详见《面对 Slash 风险， Bifrost 如何为 vToken 持有者提供保险机制》。
- vToken/Token 的流动性池采用的是专门为 vToken 设计的 Stable Curve 自动化做市曲线，随 vToken/Token 的汇率变动。相比传统 AMM 做市曲线，其优点在于极低的交易滑点损耗与保持兑换率之间的相对稳定。此外，在发生大额交易时，MEV Bot 会迅速出动，抹平其对价格造成的影响。Bifrost 官方将运行一组 MEV 机器人，任何第三方也可以运行套利机器人。更多详情请参考[《Bifrost LST Stable Swap》](https://docs.bifrost.finance/quick-start-and-tutorials/lst-stable-swap)

- 严格审计：Loop Stake 代码已经经过了知名审计公司 Oak Security 的审计，[点击查看](https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/blob/main/Bifrost/2024-03-11%20Audit%20Report%20-%20Bifrost%20Finance%20Leveraged%20Staking%20v1.0.pdf)。

尽管如此，我们还是建议用户充分了解潜在风险，根据自己的风险承受能力合理设置杠杆率，切勿一味追求 Yield Maximization。

&emsp;

# 小结
在 DeFi 领域，我们看到一个明确的发展趋势，就是 “Farming as a service” 会流行起来。在这个趋势下，DeFi 协议将不只是提供单一的收益来源，而是为用户提供一系列组合收益策略，使得用户有多种方案可以一键获得多重收益。这种模式将简化用户的操作，也为用户提供了更高的资本效率和更灵活的选择。Loop Stake 是一个开始，后续，Bifrost 将推出更多组合收益策略产品，进一步拓展 vToken 持有者的选择范围。

就像 Loop Stake 允许远程调用多链借贷池，我们的组合收益策略将不会局限于单链策略，而是可以充分利用全链 DeFi 生态，创建跨链组合策略。Bifrost 在链抽象和全链架构领域的研究和探索，已经可以充分支持我们做到这一点。

Bifrost 推出新产品 Loop Stake，实现多倍 Staking 收益率

# 什么是 SLPx

Bifrost 链上用于处理 vToken 铸造和赎回的模块被称为 SLP，而想要通过 SLP 铸造和赎回 vToken，用户必须把资产先转入 Bifrost 链，这带来了用户体验上的问题。

**SLPx 是近期我们在 SLP 的基础上，开发的一个扩展模块，该模块将允许用户在远程链上调用 SLP 的功能，而不必将资产转入 Bifrost 链。**

具体来说，SLPx 将允许你

- 在远程链上铸造 vToken
- 在远程链上赎回 vToken
- 在远程链上进行 vToken/Token 的 Swap，但背后使用的是 Bifrost 链上的流动性

你将可以直接把 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 链的 DOT 铸造为 vDOT，原始资产和目标资产都在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 上，**你将感觉到所有事情就像在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 本地链上完成**，而对背后的跨链交互过程完全无感。同样，你可以在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 链上直接将 vDOT 赎回为 DOT。

远程铸造和远程赎回为远程链上的用户操作提供了便利，而远程 Swap，除了给远程用户提供便利，还有更加深远的意义，那就是“统一流动性”

你可以在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 上进行 vDOT/DOT 之间的兑换，**背后的流动性由 Bifrost 链上的池子支撑**。这样一来，Bifrost 不需要把 vDOT/DOT 的流动性分割到不同链上，就可以让用户在不同链上进行 vDOT/DOT 的兑换，来自所有链的 vDOT/DOT 兑换都共享同一个池子的深度，这将带来更小的 Price Impact 和更好的交易体验。

与此同时，**如果远程链上的借贷协议使用 vDOT 作为抵押品，涉及到清算环节时，就可以直接调用 Bifrost 上的统一流动性池，以完成清算**。倘若在远程链上建流动池以执行清算，很有可能因为深度不足而让清算过程产生更高的折损率。

&emsp;

# SLPx 的意义

对用户而言，**vToken 的铸造、赎回、Swap 变的更简单了，可以在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 直接完成，而省去了繁冗的跨链操作步骤。**此外，统一流动性的特点也会给用户带来更好的 Swap 体验。

对于 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 上的应用程序而言，可以通过集成 SLPx，给自身用户带来更多重的收益，比如借贷协议可以把用户抵押的 DOT 远程转化为 vDOT，用户则不需要额外操作就可以获取多一份的 Staking 收益，此其一。

其二，统一流动性则会给借贷协议的清算带来更小的折算率。

其三，只需要集成 SLPx，就可以远程铸造、赎回、Swap 所有类型的 vToken，而无需一一适配不同类型的 vToken。

对于 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 的生态建设来说，**SLPx 可以为其引入来自不同链的 LST 资产，而远程服务的方式，可以让用户不离开链的情况下，享受来自其他链的全链服务。

对于 Bifrost 而言，SLPx 所实现的远程调用功能，是 vToken 迈向 Onmi-LST 的重要里程碑。**

&emsp;

# 如何实现？

SLPx 分为两个部分，一个部分是 Bifrost 链上的 local pallet，另一部分是远程链上部署的 remote pallet/contract。

以 Moonbeam 为例，当 Moonbeam 上的用户想要把 DOT 铸造为 vDOT，实际上 DOT 先会被发送到 Bifrost 链上，被铸造为 vDOT 之后，再被发送回 Moonbeam。在此过程中，用户需要和 remote contract 交互，远程调用 local pallet 完成相关操作。整个操作包含三个步骤：

① 将 DOT 发送到 Bifrost
② 将 DOT 铸造为 vDOT
③ 将 vDOT 发送回 Moonbeam

**但这三个步骤只需要用户发起一次交互（支付一次费用），即可全部自动完成。**远程赎回和远程 Swap 的逻辑也是如此。

该流程之所以能够实现，是因为 SLPx 使用了最新的 XCM V3 作为跨链指令格式。XCM V3 规定了 XCM V2 所不具备的指令格式，其中很重要的一类指令就是”多跳执行。

源链可以发送一个 XCM V2 消息给目标链，并在其中定义目标链如何执行它，但 XCM V2 中没有相关指令能够支持目标链以发起一个新 XCM 消息的方式执行该消息。

但 XCM V3 中增加了该类型的指令，源链可以发送一个 XCM-001 消息给目标链，并让目标链做一系列执行之后，发起一个新的 XCM-002 消息给任意第三条链（第三条链也可以是源链自身）。简单来说，就是 XCM V3 允许一个 XCM 消息指挥另一条链发起另一个 XCM 消息。

不仅如此，XCM-002 消息抵达第三条链之后，根据消息指令，还可以继续发起新的 XCM-003 消息，这就是多跳传递，这个多跳链条理论上是可以无限的。只要源链上用户支付了足够多的费用，消息就可以完成多跳执行，直到其逻辑终止。

在 SLPx 的远程铸造用例中，实际上就是用户在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 上销毁 DOT 后，调用 remote contract，向 local pallet 发出了包含以下指令的 XCM 消息：

① 在 Bifrost 铸造  DOT（Burn-Mint 逻辑传递资产）
② 在 Bifrost 链上将 DOT 铸造为 vDOT
③ 在 Bifrost 链上锁定 vDOT
④ 向 remote contract 发出 XCM 指令，令其在 Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar 上铸造 vDOT（Lock-Mint 逻辑传递资产）

从第④步，我们可以清晰的看到，一个 XCM 指令在指挥目标链上的 Pallet 发起另一个 XCM 指令。

&emsp;

# SLPx 实施进度

目前我们已经在 Moonbeam、Moonriver、Astar 上部署了 SLPx 的 remote pallet/contract，后续我们会陆续在 Interlay、Filecoin、Ethereum、HydraDX 上部署。

remote pallet/contract 已经完成代码审计，[审计报告](https://www.commonprefix.com/projects/bifrost)

此外，基于 SLPx 扩展模块开发的 Omni LS Dapp，用户将可以体验远程铸造、远程赎回、远程 Swap 这一系列功能。

Omni LST Dapp：https://omni.ls

&emsp;

# 小结

总之，SLPx 是 Bifrost 实现全链 LST 愿景的技术方法。部署 SLPx 远程模块的链将可以远程调用 Bifrost 链上的 SLP 模块，实现远程铸造、赎回 vToken。**这种全新的交互方式，给用户带来了便利，也给远程链的开发者提供了便捷的跨链集成路径。**


SLPx Pallet 实现 vToken 远程铸造，全链 LST 迈出重要一步

Liquid staking tokens (LSTs) have been present since the inception of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. Since the Shanghai upgrade on Ethereum, LSTs have gained significant prominence, now representing the largest category within DeFi, with assets under management surpassing $60 billion.

Across various DeFi protocols, ETH LSTs are rapidly replacing ETH as a more versatile collateral option. This shift is attributed to Ethereum LSTs offering the market a yield-bearing asset. Consequently, many composability plays have emerged with LSTs as the foundational component for strategies and products - **Leverage Staking** serving as a prime example.

&emsp;

# What is Leverage Staking

Leverage staking is a strategy that allows users to utilize LSTs on lending protocols to amplify the staking yield earned from these tokens. Users stake their assets to obtain an LST, use the LST as collateral on a lending protocol to borrow the staked assets, and obtain the LST again with the borrowed asset.

For instance, by collateralizing ETH to borrow stETH in AAVE, the over-collateralisation rate stands at approximately 107%. This means that for every 1 ETH collateralized, users can borrow up to about 0.93 ETH worth of stETH. In contrast, if users were to collateralize ETH to borrow USDT, the over-collateralisation rate could be as high as 130%. In this scenario, for every 1 ETH collateralized, users may only be able to borrow up to approximately 0.77 ETH worth of USDT.

This is because ETH/ETH-LST exhibits a strong price correlation. ETH-LST accumulates staking rewards, showing a one-way upward trend in ETH-based prices.

**Leverage Staking is typically achieved through a manual looping process.**

For example, if you are a user with 1 ETH:

- You can mint 1 ETH LST (assuming a minting rate of 1:1)
- Then, on a lending protocol, you collateralize 1 ETH-LST to borrow 0.93 ETH
- Next, you can mint the 0.93 ETH back into 0.93 ETH-LST

You can repeat this loop many times, boosting your yield. This, however, becomes unprofitable when the borrowing rate exceeds the staking yield.

As described above, the efficiency of manually conducting iterative staking operations is very low, and multiple transactions consume a lot of gas. Therefore, specialized leveraged staking management tools have emerged in the DeFi space, allowing users to complete leveraged staking within one single click.

# Bifrost introduces LoopStake

**The one-click leverage staking service tailored for the Polkadot ecosystem.**

As a leading LST protocol in the Polkadot ecosystem, Bifrost’s LoopStake offers users a streamlined one-click leverage staking service designed explicitly for assets within the Polkadot ecosystem.

Manual leverage staking is possible, but it requires users to perform frequent manual operations and to transfer assets between parachains especially if the lending pool and LST protocol are not on the same parachain.

Users can access the **LoopStake** interface through bifrost.app and enjoy the seamless leverage staking experience with just one click. The initial phase of the product launch will support leverage staking for assets such as DOT and KSM, and we will gradually expand to include more parachain assets.

[**Explore LoopStake directly on Bifrost dApp!**](https://bifrost.app/vstaking/vDOT?tab=loopstake)

![Loopstake is Now.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Loopstake_is_Now_3978412ff6.png)

**LoopStake** will allow users to set and manage leveraged ratios according to their risk preferences and leverage stake their assets with just one click. Behind the scenes, Bifrost directly creates leverage for users through flash loans, eliminating the need for iterative borrowing and reducing the number of transactions, resulting in lower gas costs.

Loop Stake features include a **Leverage Up to 4x**: LoopStake supports setting a maximum leverage ratio of 4x. With this feature, users can earn staking rewards on 4 times their initial deposits.

Basic users can simply liquid stake their DOT - obtaining vDOT - with an exchange rate of 0.73! According to the current incentive parameters of the Polkadot network, the annualized yield is approximately 22%, allowing you to earn +0.2 DOT a year per each single DOT staked.

**If you are not satisfied with this yield, you can use leveraged staking!**

Assuming you use 4x leverage, 1 DOT can be amplified to 4 DOT.
LoopStake allows this by borrowing 3 DOT through a flash loan and then staking the 4 DOT to mint 2.92 vDOT. After minting, vDOT will be placed in the collateral pool. You will earn staking rewards from the 2.92 vDOT while paying interest on the borrowed 3 DOT.

_The final net yield is the actual yield you can receive!_

![Loopstake Strategy.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Loopstake_Strategy_2c87e87e8e.png)

Assuming a constant borrowing interest rate of 10%, the interest for borrowing 3 DOT over a year is 0.3 DOT. Initially, 2.92 vDOT can be redeemed for 4 DOT, and at the end of the year, it can be redeemed for 4.72 DOT (an increase due to accumulated staking rewards), resulting in a profit of 0.72 DOT. Comparatively, leveraging amplifies earnings by providing a significant increase compared to the 0.20 DOT earned without leveraging.

&emsp;

# Aggregate Cross-chain Liquidity

Leverage staking requires access to the liquidity of lending pools.

Bifrost strives to aggregate cross-chain liquidity in the Polkadot ecosystem to provide leverage-staking users with the best borrowing rates. Leveraging Polkadot’s XCM messages and Bifrost’s Omni module, Bifrost’s LoopStake in the future will be able to access liquidity from lending pools on any other parachain.

However, considering that the increase in leverage staking volume is a process, in the initial stage of launching Loop Stake, we have opted to create a lending pool on Bifrost to provide lending liquidity, with plans to expand gradually.

&emsp;

# Risks of Leverage Staking

Leverage staking involves amplifying risks to amplify returns. Thus, users should be cautious when opting into the product. Users will be exposed to more risks if they set a high leverage ratio.

Although the vToken/Token price ratio is quite stable and shows a one-way upward trend, in certain extreme circumstances, this price anchor may be impacted:

- **Oracle Issues**: Oracle price feeds may contain errors or be maliciously manipulated.
- **Slash Risk**: Malicious behavior by nodes or network failures may lead to slashing, resulting in decreased staking assets and a drop in vToken prices.
- **Market Manipulation**: Price fluctuations of vToken/Token may occur through large-scale buying and selling activities aimed at market manipulation.
- **Code Risk**: There may be code vulnerabilities in the leverage staking or SLP module.

To protect its users from these risks, Bifrost has implemented a series of measures to mitigate the issues highlighted above:

- **Diversified Oracle Sources**: Bifrost obtains price feeds from 4 different Oracle service providers, and any outliers from individual oracles are excluded.
- **Slash Protection**: Bifrost has implemented a systematic slash protection strategy, as detailed in the article “How Bifrost provides an insurance mechanism for vToken holders against the Slash risk.”
- **Stable Market-making System**: The liquidity pool for vToken/Token utilizes a Stable Curve automated market-maker curve specifically designed for vToken, adjusting with the exchange rate of vToken/Token. Compared to traditional AMM market maker curves, its advantages lie in extremely low trading slippage costs and relatively stable exchange rate maintenance. Additionally, in the event of large transactions, MEV Bots will swiftly intervene to mitigate their impact on prices. Bifrost will operate a group of MEV bots, and any third party can also run arbitrage bots. For more details, please refer to [Bifrost LST Stable Swap](https://docs.bifrost.finance/quick-start-and-tutorials/lst-stable-swap).
- **Stringent Auditing Procedures**: Loop Stake code has undergone an audit by a reputable auditing firm, [Oak Security](https://www.oaksecurity.io/), and the audit report can be found [HERE](https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/blob/main/Bifrost/2024-03-11%20Audit%20Report%20-%20Bifrost%20Finance%20Leveraged%20Staking%20v1.0.pdf).

![Audited OAK.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/Audited_OAK_e7126f816f.png)

Nevertheless, we recommends that users fully understand the potential risks and set leverage ratios according to risk tolerance and profiles.

&emsp;

# Conclusion

In DeFi, the emerging trend called **Farming as a Service** is becoming popular.

DeFi protocols will provide a single source of income and offer users a range of combined yield strategies, allowing users to access multiple sources of income with a single click.

This model will simplify user operations, provide users with higher capital efficiency, and offer more flexible choices. Staking is just the beginning, and in the future, Bifrost will introduce more combined yield strategies to expand the choices available to vToken holders further.

Just as **LoopStake** allows for remote access to multi-chain lending pools, our combined yield strategies will not be limited to single-chain strategies but can fully leverage the entire DeFi ecosystem to create cross-chain combined strategies.

Bifrost’s research and exploration in chain abstraction and full-chain architecture have already provided sufficient support for us to achieve this.

Bifrost launches LoopStake - Supercharge Staking Rewards through Leverage Staking

#### What is SLPx? ####

SLP is the module used for processing vToken minting and redemption on the [Bifrost](https://bifrost.app/) chain. To mint and redeem vToken through SLP, users must first transfer their assets to the Bifrost chain, creating user experience issues.

SLPx is a recently developed extension pallet to SLP by Bifrost that will allow users to call SLP’s functionality on a remote chain without crossing assets into the Bifrost chain.

Specifically, SLPx will allow users to:

- Mint vTokens on a remote chain
- Redeem vToken on the remote chain
- Swap vToken/Token on a remote chain using liquidity from the Bifrost chain behind the scenes.

You can use DOT directly to mint vDOT on [Moonbeam](https://apps.moonbeam.network/moonbeam/xcm), [Moonriver](https://moonbeam.network/networks/moonriver/) and [Astar](https://astar.network/), and both the original and target assets are on these chains. The whole process appears to be done respectively on the Moonbeam, Moonriver, or Astar local chain, and users are not bothered by the cross-chain interaction processes behind it. Likewise, you can redeem vDOT for DOT directly on the target chains.

Remote minting and redemption provide convenience for user operations on remote chains. In addition to providing convenience, the token swaps enabled on remote chains offer a new meaning to “**unified liquidity**”.

You can exchange vDOT/DOT on Moonbeam, Moonriver or Astar using the vDOT/DOT liquidity pool on the Bifrost chain. In this way, Bifrost does not need to divide the liquidity of vDOT/DOT into different chains. All chains’ vDOT/DOT exchanges share the same pool depth, leading to a more negligible price impact and a better trading experience.

At the same time, if a lending protocol on any supported remote chains uses vDOT as collateral, it can directly call on the unified liquidity pool on Bifrost to complete a liquidation when it occurs. If a liquidity pool is built on a remote chain to perform liquidation, the liquidation process will likely have a higher discount rate due to insufficient depth.

#### The Importance of SLPx ####

For users, the minting, redemption, and swapping of vTokens have been simplified, as they can now be directly performed on Moonbeam, Moonriver and Astar without cumbersome cross-chain operations. The unified liquidity feature will also provide users with a better swapping experience.

For applications on these parachains, integrating SLPx can bring additional features to their users. For example, lending protocols can remotely convert users’ collateralized DOT into vDOT, allowing users to earn staking rewards without additional steps. Furthermore, the unified liquidity will lower liquidation discounts for lending protocols. Lastly, by integrating SLPx, applications can remotely mint, redeem, and swap all types of vTokens without the need for individual adaptations for different vToken types.

For the ecosystem development of Moonbeam and Astar, SLPx introduces LSD assets from different chains. The remote service capability allows users to enjoy full-chain services from other chains without leaving the native chain.

For Bifrost, the remote-call feature implemented by SLPx is a significant milestone toward achieving **Omni-LSD Vision**.

#### Technical Implementations ####

SLPx is divided into two parts: the **Local pallet** on the Bifrost chain and the **Remote pallet** deployed on the remote chain (if the remote chain is an EVM chain like Moonbeam, it should be called a remote contract).

For example, when a user on Moonbeam utilizes SLPx to mint DOT into vDOT, the DOT is sent to Bifrost first, minted into vDOT, and then returned to Moonbeam. During this process, the user must interact with the remote contract and remotely call the local pallet to complete related operations. 
The whole procedure consists of three steps:
- Send DOT to Bifrost
- Mint DOT into vDOT
- Send vDOT back to Moonbeam

However, these three steps only require the user to initiate an interaction (pay once). After starting an interaction, all other processes are completed automatically. The same is true for the logic of remote redemption and remote swap.

This process is possible because SLPx uses **XCM V3** as the cross-chain instruction format. XCM V3 specifies the instruction format that XCM V2 does not have, with one of the essential types of instructions being multi-hop executions.

The source chain can send an XCM V2 message to the target chain and define how the target chain executes it. No instructions in XCM V2 allow the target chain to execute the message by initiating a new XCM message.

However, with the addition of this type of instruction in XCM V3, the source chain can send an XCM-001 message to the target chain, have the target chain do a series of executions, and then initiate a new XCM-002 message to any third chain (which is equivalent to an acknowledgment message if the third chain is the source chain itself). 

**In short, XCM V3 allows an XCM message to command another chain to initiate a second XCM message.**

After the XCM-002 message reaches the third chain, according to the message instruction, it can continue to initiate a new XCM-003 message. This is the multi-hop transmission, and this multi-hop chain can theoretically be infinite. As long as the user on the source chain pays enough fees, the message can complete multi-hop execution until its logic terminates.

In the remote minting use case of SLPx, after the user destroys the DOT on Moonbeam/Moonriver/Astar, calls the remote contract and an XCM message is sent containing the following instructions to the local pallet:
1. Mint DOT in Bifrost (Burn-Mint logic transfer asset)
2. Mint DOT to vDOT on the Bifrost chain
3. Lock vDOT on the Bifrost chain
4. Send an XCM command to the remote contract to mint vDOT (Lock-Mint logic transfer asset) on Moonbeam, Moonriver and Astar

#### SLPx Implementation Progress ####

We have deployed the SLPx remote pallet/contract on Moonbeam, Moonriver, Astar, and Ethereum. We will continue to deploy it on Manta, Astar zkEVM, Filecoin, and many more in the future.

The remote pallet/contract has completed code auditing. The Audit Report can be found [HERE](https://www.commonprefix.com/projects/bifrost/).

In addition, we have developed the front-end application for [Omni LS dApp](https://omni.ls/). Users can experience a range of functionalities such as remote minting, remote redemption, and remote swapping through the Omni LS dApp on these chains.

#### Conclusion ####

SLPx serves as Bifrost’s technical solution to achieve its Omni-LSD vision. 

Chains that deploy the SLPx remote module will be able to interact with the SLP module on Bifrost, enabling remote minting and redemption of vTokens.

This ground-breaking interaction method brings convenience to users and provides a simple cross-chain integration path for developers on remote chains.

SLPx Pallet - A Further Step Into The Omnichain Liquid Staking

11 月 21 日，Bifrost 支持了 $MOVR/$GLMR 的流动性质押，开启了 vMOVR 和 vGLMR 的铸造。这是 Bifrost 继 vETH、vDOT、vKSM 之后，开启的又一组新的 vToken 系列。

MOVR/GLMR 分别是 Moonriver 和 Moonbeam 的工作通证，Moonriver 是 Moonbeam 的金丝雀网络，二者分别是 Kusama 和 Polkadot 的平行链。vMOVR/vGLMR 是 Bifrost 推出的第一组基于 XCMP (当前版本为 HRMP) 实现的 vToken 实例。此前的 vDOT/vKSM 是基于 VMP 实现的。

**XCMP**（Cross-Chain Message Passing）是 Polkadot 上的跨链消息传输协议，用于平行链/平行线程之间的跨链通讯。 **VMP** 则是用于平行链/平行线程与中继链之间的跨链通讯。 **XCM** 是波卡制定的一个通用跨链消息格式， XCM 不仅可以用于平行链之间的通讯，还可以用于任意两条 Substrate 链之间的通讯，因此基于 XCM 的通讯是个更广泛的概念。

# vMOVR/vGLMR 的铸造 & 赎回

Bifrost 将如何用 XCMP 支持 vMOVR/vGLMR 的铸造和赎回呢，接下来我们以 vMOVR 为例进行说明。

如这篇文章所述，所有的 vToken 都是 Bifrost 链上的原生资产，也默认会被发行在 Bifrost 链，这样策略会为跨链集成提供更多的便利。

我们先罗列所需组件：

- Bifrost 链 : 这里指 Bifrost Kusama Parachain。(Bifrost 还有一条 Bifrost Polkadot Parachain)
- Moonriver 链 ：Moonbeam 的金丝雀网络，Kusama 的平行链。
- Bifrost Sovereign Address : Bifrost 链上有一个 Bifrost 的主权账户，可以通过部署 runtime 来控制，事实上，每条平行链/线程都有自身的主权账户。
- Bifrost Sovereign Address on Moonriver ：每个平行链/平行线程在中继链上以及其他平行链/平行线程上都有自己的主权账户，该地址受主权链的代码控制。因此，Bifrost 并不需要在 Moonriver 创建一个托管地址，而是可以用 Moonriver 上的 Bifrost 主权地址来执行质押和解除质押。
- SLP Module ：这是 Bifrost 链上的一个 runtime ，负责发出一系列和 vToken 铸造/赎回有关的指令。
- XCMP：我们通过它传输 XCM 指令。

## vMOVR 铸造流程：

1. 用户 A 将 MOVR 跨链转入 Bifrost 链；
2. 用户调用 SLP Module ，将 MOVR 锁入 Bifrost 主权账户；
3. SLP Module 按照当前汇率为用户 A 铸造 vMOVR；
4. SLP Module 将 Bifrost Sovereign Address 中的 MOVR 跨链转入 Bifrost Sovereign Address on Moonriver，并发出 XCM 指令，执行质押。

## vMOVR 赎回流程：

1. 用户 A 调用 SLP Module，将 vMOVR 发送到销毁地址；
2. SLP Module 向 Bifrost Address on Moonriver 发出 XCM 指令，按照当前汇率，解除质押对应数量的 MOVR，并跨入 Bifrost Address（由于解除质押有一个解锁期，该步骤不会立即完成）；
3. Bifrost Address 将这些 MOVR 返回给用户 A 。

## 闪电赎回：

用户如果希望立即获得 MOVR ,不想等待解锁期，也可以选择闪电赎回，闪电赎回的实质是 swap，因此需要向流动性提供者支付一部分费用。

由于 Bifrost Kusama Parchain 和 Moonriver 都是 Kusama 平行链，所以二者之间可以直接使用 XCMP 通讯， vMOVR / vGLMR 的铸造和赎回过程中的跨链通讯用的都是 XCMP 。我们知道， XCMP 是波卡平行链间的原生通讯桥梁，使用 XCMP 不会像使用其他第三方跨链桥一样，引入新的安全风险，也就是说，**vMOVR/vGLMR 的安全性是波卡中继链级别的**。

# XCMP 是如何工作的

要理解 XCMP 的工作原理，首先要了解几个核心概念：

## Channel

两条平行链如果需要通讯，需要首先建立 Channel 。Channel 是单向的，两条平行链（A 和 B）之间如果想要双向通讯，就需要建立两条通道（A → B Channel， B → A Channel）。

## Egress 和 Ingress

当平行链 A 与平行链 B 建立 A → B Channel 时，平行链 A 上会被创建一个平行链 B 的 egress（出口队列），而平行链 B 上会被创建一个平行链 A 的 ingress（入口队列）。

## MR（Message Root）

XCMP 采用了消息树的结构，所有的待发消息作为叶子节点构成一个默克尔树，树的根值被称为 MR（Massage Root），每有一个新的消息作为叶子节点插入，都会产生一个新的 MR 。因此每一个 Egress 里除了存储待发消息队列的原文之外，还需要维护一个 MR 队列（Message Queue Hash Chain）。

我们来看下 XCMP 中的消息生命周期：（以  A → B Channel 为例）

1. Chain A 上用户通过源链上的应用程序发起跨链请求，想要将消息 M 送到 Chain B 。该消息会被放入 Chain A 上为 Chain B 专设的出口队列（我们简写为：Egress A → B）。该消息将被包含进最新的 MR 中。
2.  Chain A 的收集者在打包当前区块的时候，会将最新的 MR 放入区块头。当区块被中继链分配给 Chain A 的验证者验证后，会被提交到中继链，并被中继链的区块包含。此时，我们认为该 MR 被中继链验证了。
3.  Chain B 的收集者会不断轮询所有其他链上为 Chain B 建立的出口队列，这里就包括 Egress A → B，Chain B 的收集者将 Egress A → B 中的消息原文及 MR 队列放入自己对应的入口队列：Ingress A → B 。（* 有另一种说法，该过程不是收集者完成，而是验证者完成的，这点的设计在 XCMP 中还没有完全确定，但谁来完成并非 XCMP 设计的关键点，因为这项任务是无信任的，谁来完成都可以）。
4.  Chain B 的验证人从中继链获取 Channel A → B 的最新被中继链验证的 MR 。
5.  Chain B 用该 MR 来判断 Ingress A → B 哪些消息已经被包含到中继链中，然后更新这些消息的状态为已验证。
6.  已验证的消息就可以被目标应用程序执行了。

我们为了表达方便，只描述一个 Channel 的消息流，事实上 XCMP 在处理跨链消息的时候，所有的 Channel 是同时处理的。中继链会维护一个 CST 表格（Channel State table），用于存储所有 Channel 的 MR 。

# XCMP 的特点

我们发现，XCMP 的设计非常精巧，它让平行链/线程 之间的跨链消息能够快速、有效、安全、廉价的进行。

**快速**：从发送链打包好区块，被验证后提交给中继链，并在中继链被最终确定，这个时间很短，对于用户而言几乎是感觉不到延迟的。

**有序**：通过 Egress 和 Ingress，使得一个 Channel 内的所有消息遵循一个严格的队列结构，有明确的先后顺序（不同 Channel 的消息之间则没有时序属性。）消息在被目标链执行之前，始终存在于 Egress，直到在被目标链执行之后，才能从 Egress 删除。这将确保消息不会被遗漏。

**安全**：所有的跨链消息都经过了中继链的验证。

**廉价**：尽管消息必须经过中继链的验证，但通过消息树的机制，让中继链只验证 MR ，而不直接验证消息原文，消息原文的传递直接通过发送链和接收链本身完成，不通过中继链。这样最大程度避免了占用中继链的资源，从而使得跨链消息传递的成本控制在较低的水平。

跨链消息传递是跨链互操作的基础，无论是跨链的资产传输、跨链功能调用、跨链计算，其基础都是跨链消息传输。因此，**XCMP 为众多的平行链提供了互操作性**。

Bifrost 作为最早立足波卡生态的 DeFi 项目之一，对波卡的多链架构有着坚实的信仰，这来源于我们对多链互操作性的认知。以太坊的 Rollup 虽然可以在继承以太坊安全性的基础上，扩展出更多的应用运行空间，但 Rollup 之间缺乏互操作性。

Cosmos 虽然也是多链架构，并且通过 IBC 可以实现很好的互操作性，但 Cosmos 的各个 Zone 的安全性是各自为政的，各个 Zone 之间存在一个授信问题，每个 Zone 都要自己去选择相信哪些 Zone ，而不相信哪些 Zone ，尽管 Cosmos 2.0 增加了向 Hub 租用安全性的选项，但这仍然不能确保所有租用安全性的 Zone 的安全性处于同一水平。而波卡的多链架构的第一特性就是共享安全性，各平行链的安全级别与中继链一致，可以无条件互相信任，在此之上， **XCMP 所提供的互操作性的安全级别，也是与中继链一致的**。

# 基于 XCM 的通讯

Gavin 曾在一次演讲中提到，XCMP 只是波卡跨链解决方案的一半，另一半是 XCM 。XCM 是波卡制定的一个消息格式标准。在 XCMP 中，所有的跨链请求都会格式化为 XCM ，然后才能进入 Egress 。XCM 上可以包含一组指令，目标应用程序收到 XCM 消息之后将执行该指令。

**XCM 不止是 XCMP 通讯的标准格式，也是所有 Substrate 链之间跨链通讯的标准格式**，Gavin 还希望，XCM 未来能通行于更多的异构跨链场景。因此，基于 XCM 的通讯将是一个比 XCMP 更广泛的概念，它能够扩展到所有的 Substrate 链，从而构建其一个泛 Substrate 生态。它甚至有希望击穿 Substrate 生态，连接包括 EVM 生态在内的更多异构生态。

# 小结

在众多的 Web3 应用类型中，或许有些类型的应用，诸如游戏、社交对互操作性的要求不高，但 DeFi 应用一定是对互操作性要求最高的类型。可以说，互操作性是 DeFi 应用的根基。Bifrost 作为 DeFi 应用当然也需要互操作性，我们需要 vToken 能够更广泛的流通，被更多的 DeFi 应用集成，与更多的 DeFi 应用互动。

**由 XCMP 连接的平行链生态，将是一个具有无缝互操作性且无需考虑跨链授信问题的多练系统**。我们相信 Bifrost 及 vToken 能被该系统充分赋能。此外，基于 XCM 的通讯能够把我们带到更广阔的天地。vMOVR/vGLMR 是我们启航的地方，终点是星辰大海。

以 vMOVR/vGLMR 为例，读懂基于 XCM 的跨链通信

Bifrost 开发的 SLP 协议是一个流动性质押协议，用户将想要质押的 Token 发送给 SLP 协议，由 SLP 协议执行质押，并为用户铸造流动性衍生品 vToken 。用户质押的 Token 将被 SLP 委托给节点，进而参与到 PoS 网络的共识维护工作当中， Bifrost 自身不运营节点。为了保证 vToken 的 Fungible 属性，**SLP 协议会代替用户行使选择节点的权力**。

此前，我们通过议会投票来选举委托节点，日后，我们将逐步启用新的委托节点选举方案。新方案在原方案基础上做了进一步的优化：

其一：我们将委托节点的席位划分为两部分，分别是 Validator Whilte List（VWL）和 Validator Boost List（VBL），前者将依据一套明确的节点评选规则产生，后者则通过节点的主动申请，社区投票审批产生。SLP 协议只会将用户质押的资产委托给这两个 List 当中的节点。

其二：我们计划结合波卡 OpenGov 推出专用于节点选举的治理投票轨道—Validator Election Track（VET）。VWL 和 VBL 都需要通过 VET 的投票流程才可正式生效。 VET 是一个公投流程，这意味着原本属于议会的权力现在归于 Bifrost 社区全体。

# Validator White List

进入到 VWL 的节点，我们根据一套评分规则来为节点打分，评分达到门槛之上的节点无需主动申请，会自动获得 VWL 资格。

影响评分的主要因素包括：

15. **节点去中心化**：我们尽可能使我们的票权的在地理位置和司法辖区上的分布相对均衡；
16. **节点信誉及安全风险**：包括节点的链下主体信息、节点存续时间、节点的掉线次数和时长等指标；
17. **安全风险**：节点历史上的 Slash 的次数及严重程度都会列入考量；
18. **节点杠杆率**：我们在分配票权时，我们会考量节点的自抵押量，避免节点有过高的杠杆率（指该节点来自委托的抵押在总抵押中的占比）；
19. **收益率**：包括节点的历史收益表现以及为委托人提供的 Staking 收益分佣比例。

**VWL 不是固定不变的，我们会根据评分情况的变化动态调整该名单**。评分排名降低至末位的节点会被清退，评分排名提升超过末位的节点会被选入。

对节点的评分是链下完成的，根据评分所拟定的 Validator White List 名单需要通过 VET 公投才会在链上正式生效，Validator White List 名单的修改也需要 VET 公投确认。

# Validator Boost List

VBL 是为提供附加价值的节点专设的席位名额。节点可以通过 VET 提案的形式， 主动向 Bifrost 社区提出申请。公投通过后，节点可正式进入 VBL 名单。我们期待 VBL 节点为 SLP 协议或是 vToken 持有者提供附加价值，以促进协议的长期发展。例如：

- 为 vToken /Token 交易对提供流动性
- 提供曝光引流机会，或者促进用户的教育和引导，增加 vToken 的铸造
- 促进 vToken 在 DeFi 应用中的集成
- 为 vToken 持有者提供其他形式的福利

相比 VWL，**VBL 节点的名额会更加稀缺，优先级也会高于 VWL 节点**，VBL 节点会更加稳定的获得 SLP 的票权委托。VBL 节点的默认期限是 6 个月，过期之后会自动失去 VBL 资格，如需再次获取 VBL 资格，需要重新发起公投。

需要注意的是，尽管 VWL 和 VBL 的首个单词都是“Validator”，但实际上，在不同的 PoS 链中，节点的角色可能有所不同。例如，对于 Polkadot/Kusama 中继链或其他 Layer1 区块链来说，节点是 Validator（验证者），对于平行链而言，节点是 Collator（收集者），对于 Rollup 类的 Layer 2 而言，节点也可能是 Sequencer（排序者），但它们的共同特点是都需要质押。

# VBL 的申请步骤

## Step 1  提案草案

节点运营商在 Bifrost Discussion（ https://bifrost.subsquare.io/discussions），发布 VBL 入选提案草案，表明自身能提供的附加价值，以及希望获得的委托数量和委托时长。[参考草案](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/post/1)

## Step 2  发起公投提案

在帖子相关的讨论和反馈情况较好的情况下，节点运营商可以发起公投提案。[了解如何发起公投提案](https://wiki.bifrost.finance/learn/guides/governance/submit-a-referendum-proposal)

## Step 3 提案公投

根据 VET 的治理流程，开启投票后会有 7 天的投票期和 2 天的执行期。如果公投通过表示合作建立，如果公投未通过则合作暂时搁浅。

## Step 4 提案执行

如果提案通过，节点会被自动加入 VBL 。VET 的执行代表会根据提案内容持续推进相关提案内容的执行工作。

## Step 5 定期 Review

执行代表会定期检查整个提案执行过程中的的情况，以及节点在收益和性能方面的表现。如果期间发现问题会与节点商沟通，并推进问题的解决。如提案无法继续执行， SLP 委员会可通过 VET 发起公投终止相关节点的 VBL 资格。

# 小结

总体来看, Bifrost 遵循以下原则来制定节点选举的规则：

68. 维护 PoS 原链的安全
69. 维护/扩大 vToken 持有者的利益
70. 促进 SLP 协议的长期发展

为了维护 PoS 链的安全，我们会均衡的委托给尽可能多的节点，且这些节点在地理分布和司法辖区分布上尽可能多元化；为了维护 vToken 持有者的利益，我们在制定 VWL 评分量表时，会综合考量节点的收益率和节点的安全信用；为了捕获优质的发展机会，促进 SLP 协议的长期发展，我们设置了 VBL，预留了一部分委托节点名额给到能提供附加价值的节点。

由于流动性质押模式的独有优势，随着 SLP 协议的持续发展，会有更多的持币人愿意成为 Staker， PoS 节点商的整体市场会被做大。我们希望广大的节点商，能够积极参与、共同开拓，一起发掘 Staking Finance 当中的未开发价值，同时收获流动性质押的票权委托红利。

VET - Bifrost 基于 Polkadot 治理 2.0 的多链验证人选举机制

# Bifrost Cross-Chain Cooperation

In May 2022, Polkadot officially launched XCMP, “Cross-Chain Message Passing”. As one of Polkadot’s cross-chain messaging protocols, XCMP regulates the way of cross-chain messaging between parachains of the same relay chain. Since the launch of XCM in May, cross-chain channels have been opened between multiple parachains in just a few months. Bifrost continues to launch innovative staking derivatives, provide effective liquidity solutions, and provide cross-chain liquidity staking services for multiple chains by using cross consensus message (XCM). At present, HRMP cross-chain channels have been opened with multiple networks. The specific cooperation is as follows:

On February 18, 2022, the cross-chain channel between Bifrost and Statemine was opened, and the user asset use scenario was expanded. After opening the two-way HRMP channel with Statemint, the user can transfer the USDT on statemint to each parachain. Bifrost users will get more diverse asset types, lower threshold of use and easier stable currency transfer.

On April 14, 2022, Bifrost’s BNC Token can be used as xcBNC on Moonriver through XCM integration. Users can conduct transactions such as asset withdrawal, purchase and storage. The use of derivative assets will extend to Moonriver, enjoying more liquidity and investment options.

On June 6, 2022, the two-way HRMP channel between Phala asset cross-chain route Subbridge and Bifrost was officially opened. Users can transfer BNC (Bifrost Token) and ZLK（Zenlink Network Token）from Bifrost to Khala through Subbridge, and also support the reverse transfer of relevant assets.

On August 6, 2022, Bifrost realized cross-chain connection with Crab Parachain. Crab can be invested and used in Bifrost, and BNC will also enter the Crab ecology for more use scenarios.

In addition to the opening of the above cross-chain channels, Bifrost has also completed cross-chain cooperation with Calamari, Khala, Karura, etc. through Bifrost, users can transfer cross-chain assets through multiple parachains, reducing the use cost and threshold, and greatly increasing the investment scenario and portfolio.

# Cross-chain transfer operation

After realizing cross-chain cooperation with many parachains, the opening of cross-chain channels enables users to directly carry out cross-chain transfer of assets. On Bifrost Dapp, we can directly transfer $KSM assets to different networks through cross-chain transfer and other functions. The specific operation is as follows:

1. Go to the Bifrost APP and select the “Wallet” tab. Scroll down to select the Token you want to cross-chain, select cross-chain and click Cross in/out. (Example of cross-chain KSM to Karura)

![7.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/7_6b768063fe.png)

2. Enter the amount you want to cross-chain and select Karura network

![8.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/8_aacc723c09.png)

3. Select the account to which you want to send the Token from the drop-down list. Don’t worry if you see the address is Bifrost visual format. Your Token will still be sent to the Karura address on the Karura parachain of your selected account. Click confirm when the address selection is complete.

5. Cross chain transfer succeeded! You have transferred KSM from Bifrost to Karura. Your balance on each chain will be updated.

# Transfer Operation

Cross chain transfer asset and asset transfer from the exchange or other wallet address to Bifrost Dapp are different transfer operations. After we understand that cross chain transfer is to transfer the same asset to different parachains, let’s take a look at the specific transfer operations.

# How to send KSM from CEX to Kusama relay chain?

- When in doubt, please consult the exchange you are using first
- Most CEX require users to provide the Kusama address (on the Kusama network) where they want to send KSM Tokens.
- Kusama address always begins with a capital letter. Example address: Cb2QccEAM38pjwmcHHTTuTukUobTHwhakKH4kBo4k8Vur8o
- After successful withdrawal, users will be able to view the balance through Polkadot App — Kusama address.

#  How to send a Token to another Bifrost Wallet

- Use bifrost.app — the “transfer” function in wallet
- Enter the Bifrost address and confirm the transaction.

![12.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/12_43d093dea6.png)

It is important to note that direct trading between Bifrost and other exchanges should not be attempted. This feature is not currently supported and will result in the loss of Tokens.

After successfully sending Token from CEX to Bifrost, we can then follow the first cross-chain transfer tutorial to quickly transfer assets across parachains by cross in and out across chains.

# Difference between cross-chain transfer and transfer

Cross chain transfer refers to the transfer of assets from one chain to another. Under the many cross chain cooperation of Bifrost, users can directly cross assets to different parachains.

There are generally two ways to realize cross chain assets. From the technical point of view, the two parachains connecting cross chain channels trust the original assets on the cross chain bridge. At the same time, the source chain obtains the asset transactions of the target chain through the Oracle machine and maps them to the target chain in a ratio of 1:1. This is the direct cross chain transfer of assets.

Another method is to apply swap through cross chain aggregation, and build a cross chain transaction pool by aggregating the liquidity of assets on different chains, so that users can complete the exchange of assets on different chains in the transaction pool. As mentioned above, Phala asset cross chain routing Subbridge officially opens the two-way HRMP channel with Bifrost. Users can transfer BNC (Bifrost Token) and ZLK (Zenlink Network Token) from Bifrost to Khala through Subbridge, and also support reverse transfer of relevant assets.

Transfer refers to transferring assets on a chain from one address to another. For example, through the sending function in the wallet, the KSM assets on a chain are sent from address a to address B, or sent to the address of the exchange for subsequent transactions. Specific examples include transferring KSM to others, receiving KSM, or transferring KSM to wallet after purchasing KSM at the exchange.

Therefore, cross chain transfer refers to the transfer of the same asset on different chains, while transfer refers to the transfer of the same asset on a chain at different addresses. Investors in the Bifrost community, when transferring assets across the chain, please pay attention to the difference from the transfer operation.

# Cross chain interworking between Bifrost Kusama and Bifrost Polkadot

On 12 August, Bifrost Kusama, the Polkadot eco cross-chain derivatives protocol, launched a proposal to transfer BNC to the Bifrost Polkadot cross-chain, which is the common native token of the Bifrost Kusama parachain and the Bifrost Polkadot parachain. According to Bifrost’s latest roadmap, Bifrost assets will be interoperated between the two parachains via the Bifrost Kusama and Bifrost Polkadot cross-chain bridges. BNC is now transferred from the Bifrost Kusama parachain to the Bifrost Polkadot parachain by way of a pre-cross-chain transfer.

Bifrost has now completed the first cross-chain transfers between BNC Kusama and Polkadot parachains, and the Bifrost Dapp already supports the Polkadot network, i.e. users can switch between the Bifrost Kusama or Bifrost Polkadot networks via the Bifrost Dapp in the top right corner. This will be followed by the Kusama <> Polkadot cross-chain bridge to enable asset interoperability between the two parachains, which will provide users with more convenient asset management and transfers, and more investment and income opportunities.

![13.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/13_1878a45c40.png)

According to the on-chain data, the Bifrost Polkadot Crowdloan reward was issued on 25 August. In accordance with the Bifrost Crowdloan rules, BNC unlocks are calculated from the 8th week of block release on the Bifrost Polkadot parachain (block height 403,200) and are released linearly in blocks over 96 weeks. Investors who have participated in the Bifrost Polkadot Crowdloan can switch to the Bifrost Polkadot network to follow the release of rewards and effectively enjoy the benefits of the Crowdloan.

What’s The Difference Between Cross-Chain And Transfer on Bifrost Dapp?

Bifrost is moving towards a multi-chain validator election system based on OpenGOV that better aligns with the blockchain ethos. Liquid Staking will need to become more modular and decentralized in its approach to supporting decentralization network-wide.

That’s our goal, working away from centralized monopolies. We have optimized a new scheme to retain many aspects of the original process; however, we are abandoning the council voting system.

Considering the changes, we held a town hall AMA event to discuss the new governance elements in the latest Validator Election Track (VET)/Validator Boost List (VBL) Collators update.

The recap of the engaging discussion during the AMA can be followed here.
To recap the full Town Hall meeting, please click here.

## The Q&A Session

1.❓What tools can the community use to understand the performance of validators on Bifrost? Is there are public dashboard to help the community understand validator selection - VBL?

💡 The Bifrost team does not yet produce related services to monitor the collator performance. For performance, please refer to the relevant data here. Check the scoring form provided by the Bifrost community to know about VWL-related choices.

2.❓vBNC - Could you add a column for on-chain names of collators and enable comments in the spreadsheet? The setting is on the sharing option at the top right of the page.

💡 Great suggestion! We turned on the comment feature on a spreadsheet. We also plan to include the collator’s certified name in the next rating update.

3.❓How will Bifrost adjust the performance and methodology of the scoring mechanism? How will validators - collators and the community receive communication on this? What is the transparency of this model?

💡 Firstly, the current scoring standards are open and transparent, and the core team of Bifrost will have a self-driving force to continuously improve the scoring model to make it more accurate and reasonable. At the same time, we welcome any discussions and suggestions from the community on the scoring system and let us work together to improve the entire system.

4.❓Suggestion - consider batching chains with a distinct mechanism, given that the Staking mechanism differs for different chains (KSM/DOT vs. MOVR/GLMR).

💡 Good advice! That’s exactly how we planned it. We have only completed and released the first version of vBNC scoring, while other vToken scoring mechanisms are still under planning and development. Subsequent scoring mechanisms for different vTokens will be independent scoring standards most suitable for the corresponding PoS mechanism.

5.❓Kindly provide more details on the validator-collator selection process and when the system will remove them from VBL or the whitelist.

💡 About VBL: VBL currently has a fixed term of 6 months. After six months, the node will be kicked out of the VBL, counting from the joined governance referendum. If you want to rejoin the VBL, you need a new application. For nodes that perform poorly over the period, the community can initiate a removal process, kicking out the node from the VBL. The removed node will still retain its VWL identity. Nodes in VBL are automatically granted and enforced to maintain VWL status).

💡 About VWL: We know that, except for the nodes in VBL, the scoring system selects other nodes. VWL will receive regular updates to ensure the SLP system’s healthy operation. The specific update cycle may be based on the characteristics of different vTokens within one week- between 2 months. We won’t completely refactor the entire VWL list with the latest ratings every update. Correspondingly, we will have an updated scale parameter.

For example: if the update ratio parameter is 20%, then every time we update VWL, we will kick out the last 20% of the score in VWL based on the latest score. Then we’ll select a corresponding number of nodes with the highest score from external nodes to supplement VWL. Doing so will ensure a suitable and automatically optimized rhythm and stabilize VWL. The scoring table of the next vBNC update will reflect the details.

6.❓What about exiting? Most collators are interested in knowing what it takes to get kicked out or receive less Delegation. How would the process look like for collators-validator leaving?

💡 We introduced the exit mechanism earlier. Here is the main supplement to the staking processing mechanism for the remaining nodes after exit: When vToken receives a Redeem request, the system will choose which node to redeem how many tokens from which node in the following order:

- Collator that is no longer in VWL (unbond all of this part first)
- Collators not in the Delegation Set in VWL (unbond all of this part first)
- The Collators in the Delegation Set are listed in descending order of Total future bonds, with priority given to those with more unbonds.

One conclusion we can draw from this logic is that the remaining Staking Tokens on nodes that have withdrawn from VBL or not in VWL will be gradually redeemed with the Mint/Redeem of vToken and tend to be fully redeemed back. The Redeem amount within a period determines the processing speed. </aside>

7.❓What events can trigger a collator-validator risk assessment?

💡Except for VBL, most other operations are automatically executed by fixed rules. At a specific moment, based on the system rules at that time, SLP will have a relatively clear conclusion on the selection of nodes and on-chain operations. The Bifrost team and the community discuss and improve the rules. It is also helpful to read the responses to the previous questions to understand the process.

8.❓What are the clear advantages of joining the VBL if I’m already in a network’s active set?

💡As a a Collator, when you join the VBL, even if you are already in an active state, you can properly reduce your votes to improve the utilization rate of funds. The VBL will automatically host and try to maintain the active state of the collator. Simultaneously, the Collator that joined VBL will also have a clear mark on the Bifrost Dapp, which will be more obvious to Bifrost users (the relevant UI has not yet been officially launched).

💡As a Validator, voting is balanced between not falling out of active state and maximizing staking rewards. My own vote can get the highest staking rewards

## Conclusion

The VET/VBL update is crucial for Validator election governance in the Bifrost ecosystem. With an improved validator selection model and a more decentralized system, Bifrost is abandoning any traces of centralization.

We’re grateful for all the Town Hall attendees and the engagement we experienced. Stay tuned for the next AMA!

VET/VBL Collator Discussion: Questions & Feedbacks Answered!

## What is a vToken?

A vToken is a staking wrapped asset, provided by [Bifrost](https://bifrost.finance/), that maintains security in PoS networks by requiring validators to stake assets like in Kusama’s network, which requires validators to stake KSMs. Another vToken definition is a transferable redemption certificate provided by [Bifrost’s SLP](https://bifrost.app). Although yields are present in PoS Staking, the staked assets are locked and inaccessible for a period (7 days for KSM and 28 days for DOT), thus exposing the user to the risk of price fluctuations in the secondary market.

Bifrost’s SLP protocol provides a liquid staking service. When staking on the PoS network through the SLP protocol, users receive a wrapped asset called vToken. Thus, vTokens are essentially transferable redemption certificates provided by Bifrost’s SLP.

The SLP protocol issues a tradable passbook, or vToken, which is like a fixed deposit in a bank.

## How secure is vToken and are there any risks?

vToken employs a decentralized escrow mechanism, eliminating the risk of human control. vTokens represent staked assets held in Bifrost’s system account, which are not subject to third-party control or manipulation by the Bifrost team. Authority lies solely with the BNC holder and governance resolutions established by the code deployed on the Bifrost chain.

As a parachain, the Polkadot/Kusama relay chain bolsters Bifrost’s security, making the likelihood of a Bifrost chain reorganization negligible. As such, vToken holders can confidently retain their tokens, which always represent the original token and are redeemable at any time.

## How do I get vToken?

There are two methods to obtain vToken: Mint and Swap. To illustrate, let’s consider vKSM. You can mint KSM to vKSM, where the system utilizes your KSM for staking and generates vKSM based on the current exchange rate. The exchange rate is a fixed value at a given time, irrespective of the number of mints made. Over time, it will increase as Staking gains accumulate.

Alternatively, you can exchange KSM for vKSM, backed by an AMM pool. The exchange ratio is impacted by the number of tokens exchanged, leading to a price shift.

The choice between Mint and Swap depends on the specific situation. To obtain the maximum amount of vTokens, consider which method is more cost-effective. You can input the number of tokens via the front-end, and the system will estimate the vToken amount. The difference is negligible due to arbitrageurs. However, if you intend to deal with a considerable amount of assets, Mint is preferred over Swap. A substantial token number could cause a significant price impact, resulting in fewer vTokens.

## What can vToken be used for?

vToken is an interest-bearing asset that is equivalent to holding Staking Token. With vToken, users earn passive income without any active operation. Unlike Staking Token, vToken can be easily transferred or sold, allowing users to accumulate earnings without worrying about the liquidity risk of locking up their positions.

Furthermore, vToken combined with a Token to provide liquidity to the AMM pool of vToken/Token, generating transaction fee income through liquid farming. vToken holders can engage in farming and LP Farming activities to improve their yields. Bifrost is also developing more vToken usage scenarios to improve the asset’s performance.

## Are there any risks involved in participating in the various farming activities within the Bifrost DApp?

Bifrost’s system is fully decentralized and managed through code, mitigating human risk. Our system account hosts a variety of farming programs that allow users to provide farming assets. The asset security, including the Staking assets corresponding to vToken, depends on the Polkadot/Kusama relay chain and is not controlled by any third party, including the Bifrost team. While participating in LP farming carries a risk of impermanent loss, other farming options, such as single-asset farming, have no risk from a coin-based perspective.

## Is there any risk in providing liquidity for vToken/Token?

Although there’s a risk of impermanent loss, the transaction fee income benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Here’s the description of impermanent loss:

When you provide liquidity for an A/B pair, you provide two assets, A and B, in a certain ratio, assuming a total value of p. However, the price of A/B fluctuates, and when fluctuations occur, the total value of liquidity (A and B assets) you can get back is q. q is always less than p, and p-q is the impermanent loss!

When the price does not fluctuate, p = q, there’s no impermanent loss.

If we assume that the price of A/B, despite fluctuations, always returns to its initial price upon liquidity provision, then this loss is temporary and non-permanent, hence impermanent loss. For most asset trading pairs, this assumption is not reliable.

To minimize the risk of impermanent losses, many smart LPs provide liquidity to stablecoin trading pairs (e.g., USDC/DAI) as they have low volatility and stable return.

While vToken/Token is not a stablecoin trading pair, both assets have low volatility, and their prices revert to the minting rate. Although the minting rate rises as Staking yields accumulate, this move is slow, and the gains from transaction fees can fully cover the impermanent losses from the rate move.

Providing liquidity for vToken/Token will earn LP Token, and the Bifrost farming area will launch LP Farming activities from time to time; pledging LPs can earn additional income.

## Why does the vToken/Token minting rate keep going up?

This is how vToken payout revenue works. As the minting exchange rate rises, the redeemable vTokens in your possession will continue to increase.

Consider KSM:

In the initial state of SLP deployment, the minting exchange rate of vKSM/KSM is 1:1, i.e. 1 KSM mints 1 vKSM, but this 1 KSM continues gaining after participating in staking, and the yield will become 1.01 KSM after staking. Your 1 vKSM can redeem 1.01 KSM, and the extra 0.01 is the Staking gain.

Since the vKSM/KSM exchange rate has changed,‌ another user minting vKSM can only mint ~ 0.99 vKSM for 1 KSM, so it’s fair to every minting or redeeming user.

# Polkadot’s NPoS Consensus Mechanism

On May 1, Solana officials tweeted out another crash of its mainnet Beta. Judging from the 6 crashes in January 2022, public chains under the PoH mechanism still need more time to conquer the market. Among the many consensus mechanisms in today’s blockchain, PoW and PoS consensus mechanisms are still mainstream. The PoS public chain occupies most of the market due to its advantages of shorter consensus time and lowers user threshold than PoW. Polkadot is a very typical and highly recognized PoS public chain among them.

Specifically, Polkadot adopts the NPoS consensus mechanism, “Nominated Proof of Stake”, a consensus mechanism different from PoW workload proof and PoS proof of stake. The blockchain network under the NPoS consensus mechanism relies on validators to run full nodes and participate in consensus to maintain the security and stability of the entire network. Ensure the stability and security of the public chain by setting the roles of nominators and validators. At the same time, it also draws on the proportional representation system proposed by Swedish mathematicians to make the network sufficiently decentralized.

Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) avoids the horse-trust effect and oligopoly brought by Proof of Stake (PoS). A suitable incentive mechanism makes nominators choose more trustworthy nodes, which maintains the security of the whole network to gain more revenue. The proportional representation system distributes the total votes of nominators to each node as evenly as possible. The final result is the decentralization of the Polkadot network and its high-security performance.

With DeFi Summer kicking off in 2020, the DeFi circuit has surged, quickly sweeping through a host of public chains like Ethereum and capturing many users and projects with high returns. With the introduction of ETH 2.0, the conflict between Staking and DeFi is hard to ignore. The high yield has attracted more and more users from Staking to DeFi, and one of the most direct impacts on the PoS public chain is security and stability.


# Staking Derivatives

Staking derivatives are created to release the liquidity of staked Token by providing Token liquidity so that the Token can continue to circulate in the market. Thus, the PoS chain needs enough Staking assets for security and stability and meets the asset liquidity required by users who want to participate in high-yield DeFi projects. It ideally provides a two-pronged approach. The timing, the technology it brings, and the innovation in the application have left the industry and users in awe.

As one of the first term projects to receive a Web3 Foundation Grant and join the Substrate Builders Program, Bifrost’s original parachain bidding for derivatives has attracted significant attention in the Staking Derivatives track of the Polkadot ecosystem. Since its launch on October 21, 2021, Kusama Parachain has minted $137M in derivatives, provided $11.04M in liquidity, held 81,297 addresses on the chain, and completed 333,921 signed transactions. The upcoming SLP protocol is the best solution for releasing liquidity based on the experience of many users and technical practice.


# The optimal solution for releasing liquidity: SLP protocol

SLP is Bifrost’s Staking Liquidity Protocol, which provides high yield liquidity for the Staked Token. SLP protocol aims to solve the liquidity problem of many staked Token, maximize the utilization of Staking assets in PoS blockchain, release liquidity, bring higher rewards to users, bring more vitality to the ecosystem, and provide more resources stable and sufficient Staking assets for PoS public chain. Through the SLP protocol, Bifrost hopes to activate 80% of the PoS blockchain’s capital utilization, enhance consensus security, and promote the activity of Staking governance Token.

![6.gif](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/6_45066d2e15.gif)

Bifrost is more focused on Token liquidity and reward than other PoS liquidity solutions. The trading platform directly shelves the vToken series of Token. It is worth mentioning that the SLP protocol has been officially launched on May 5th, starting from KSM staking and gradually advancing to more PoS Token staking.


# SLP Step 1: vKSM

As a parachain, Kusama, in line with Polkadot, adopts NPoS (Nominated Proof-of-Stake) consensus mechanism, which means any user holding KSM can choose to participate in the security verification Kusama network as a validator and nominator. The user’s staked KSM will be locked during the process to ensure the network’s security, so the staked Token is locked for network voting governance and cannot be transferred. Users are also unable to exit Staking immediately. They need a period of unbundling to gain total liquidity of unstaked assets, reducing liquidity and preventing full use of asset values, predominantly native Tokens.

The SLP protocol allows users to swap their KSM for vKSM. vKSM are KSM bonds generated through the SLP protocol, as understood from the perspective of centralized financial product bonds. vKSM are a combination of automatic staking principal and future staking rewards and can be redeemed using vKSM. As each user stakes for a different period, the accumulated automatic staking reward per KSM varies. vKSM is designed to be a Fungible Token that can be split to meet the needs of multiple users better.


# vKSM Core Benefits

## Liquid Staking

The product allows users to stake KSM for liquid vToken, (vKSM). vKSM will continue to receive automatic staking rewards and can continue to be used in Bifrost and Kusama-based DeFi for additional rewards. In short, vKSM can be used as a KSM for all trading actions.

## Capture automatic KSM staking rewards without scenario limitations

The system will give a real-time swap rate when the user stakes/redeems through the SLP protocol. SLP will issue automatic staking rewards to vKSM by adjusting the price of vKSM / KSM upwards. vKSM Rate = Staking Total KSM / vKSM Total Issuance. This Rate is the basis for many operations in the system. It will be executed automatically by the SLP Runtime module under the protocol with a high level of confidence and reliability.

## Floating redemption period, vKSM redemption ≤ 7 days

While Kusama’s original chain Staking has a fixed 7-day redemption period, Bifrost SLP helps users realize the possibility of early vKSM redemption by matching the real-time vKSM minting quantity with the redemption quantity at the protocol layer in the form of a queue. In short, when the real-time vKSM minting volume is greater than the current redemption volume, the redemption request will be executed immediately. At the same time, the redemption process is flexible, as vTokens can be immediately canceled at any point in the redemption process to regain vKSM without incurring any fees. It helps to avoid the loss of liquidity during the redemption process, maximizes liquidity, and gives the user maximum control.

## Higher Staking Yield, Node Intelligence Screening

According to the Sequential Phragmén Method of node staking volume in Polkadot, when a single nominator stakes to multiple nodes, the KSM staking volume will be automatically calculated and allocated by the algorithm, resulting in the ideal yield for the user and not reach the expectation. The SLP protocol operates with more than 10 verified nodes through governance (subsequently increasing with the overall staking volume). It also adds multiple filters such as the number of nominees, commission ratio, and history of blocks out to maximize the return of this verifier portfolio while ensuring that none of the nodes have experienced forfeitures. Automatic screening rules will be added to the protocol in the future.


# Why SLP

The PoS public chain represented by Polkadot has developed significantly in recent years. The ecology has become more and more prosperous, and the multiple tracks and multiple ways to play have attracted more and more users to join. It also means that the Staking derivatives track will continue its development advantages and meet more and more users’ advantages. The SLP protocol will also continue developing, optimizing, and iterating on the track.

From the user’s perspective, the yield of SLP is very impressive. Bifrost will provide additional incentives to users, especially during the initial launch period. The SLP, which went live yesterday, is waiting for investors to Ape in and enjoy the early bonuses. At the same time, the liquidity incentive will support users to continue to participate and enjoy the benefits, and the system will operate with a high subsidy.

Under the premise of high yield, the diverse available scenarios also bring more reward possibilities. Not only Kusama mentioned above, but vToken also has rich interoperability and combined application scenarios between major parachains. At the same time, it cooperates intensely with smart contracts and parachains to open up interoperability with EVM/WASM, and vToken will appear in more mature and prosperous ecosystems.

SLP’s highly liquid vKSM meets the low staking threshold and allows users to start KSM staking and still have complete control of their assets. It can also liquidate in the market with vKSM and continue to participate in DeFi. Its income opportunities are increased, yield is improved, and lock-up risk is greatly reduced.

At the same time, the SLP protocol can be combined with the DeFi track lending to create the “Staking Leverage”, which will bring more revenue possibilities to users. The cross-chain feature of Polkadot also supports vKSM to operate in DApps of other parachains. It means that it can not only focus on the DeFi stack, but also keep up with the trend of the circle and invest in other potential projects.

As the liquidity release solution launched by Bifrost after several years of leading in the Staking derivatives track, SLP protocol has a mature technical foundation and sufficient product practice. It aims to build a Polkadot ecology to solve the pain points of Staking under the PoS mechanism, bringing users a better experience, higher return, and complete liquidity freedom. It is a successful exploration of liquidity solutions and the best choice for users and public chains.

# What is Bifrost

Bifrost is a Web3 derivatives protocol that provides decentralized cross-chain liquidity for staked assets. Leveraging the cross-consensus message (XCM) can provide cross-chain liquid staking services for multiple chains.

Bifrost’s mission is to provide standardized cross-chain interest-bearing derivatives for Polkadot relay chains, parachains, and heterogeneous chains bridged with Polkadot. Furthermore, by aggregating over 80% of PoS consensus chains’ staking liquidity through cross-chain derivatives, our protocol lowers users’ staking threshold, increases the multichain staking ratio, and improves the application of the ecosystem interest base by creating a three-way positive cycle for the StakeFi ecosystem by empowering users, multi-chains, and ecosystem applications.

Bifrost has raised over USD 2M from top-tier venture capital firms by NGC, SNZ, DFG, CMS, and other institutions. In addition to being an early receiver of a Web3 Foundation Grant, Bifrost is also a member of the Substrate Builders Program and the Web3 Bootcamp.



Bifrost Staking Liquidity Protocol Goes Live, supports KSM staking liquidity

Moonbeam, the fully Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on Polkadot, has announced the availability of the Bifrost native token, BNC, on Moonriver. BNC can now be used as xcBNC (an XC-20 representation of BNC) across the Moonriver ecosystem. This cross-chain channel and the listing of the xcBNC asset were each launched following a successful on-chain governance vote. The connection between these two growing parachains is made possible by XCM, cross-chain messaging, which continues to enable rich inter-parachain integrations across the broader Kusama ecosystem.

Bifrost specializes as a DeFi protocol that provides staking derivatives and liquidity to bonding assets. Within the larger PoS Network, Bifrost powers vTokens (Staking Derivatives Voucher Token), which allow users to mint PoS tokens into vTokens and obtain liquidity and staking rewards through SLP protocol at any time. In the future, the Bifrost Mainnet will migrate from Kusama to Polkadot.

The introduction of the XC-20 standard enables users to “deposit” tokens from elsewhere in the Kusama ecosystem, like Bifrost, to be used in Moonriver-based applications. Developers can create EVM-style fungible assets on Moonriver that are capable of moving from one Kusama parachain to another, or import Substrate-style assets from other parachains to be used within Moonriver-based DApps.

As the Kusama ecosystem continues to become more interconnected, users are increasingly given choice with where and how to use their Kusama-based tokens. The underlying technology that enabled the XC-20 standard is called XCM (Cross-Consensus Messaging) which is uniquely made possible by the Polkadot architecture. Other chains have to use third-party bridges to move tokens between chains, whereas XCM allows parachains in the Polkadot ecosystem to exchange messages with the same security as the underlying network. In this way, any parachain built on Polkadot or Kusama is able to communicate with other parachains connected to the Relay Chain. Learn more about XCM on the Moonbeam documentation website.

# About the Moonbeam Network
Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on the Polkadot network that makes it easy to build natively interoperable applications. This Ethereum compatibility allows developers to deploy existing Solidity smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonbeam with minimal changes. Like Moonriver, its sister parachain on Kusama, Moonbeam is expected to accumulate developer and user activity from the 80+ projects building DApps and protocols on the network. As a parachain on the Polkadot network, Moonbeam benefits from the shared security of the Polkadot Relay Chain and integrations with other chains that are connected to Polkadot.

Bifrost SALP Supports Ajuna Network Polkadot Crowdloan

**Successful bid on Polkadot Parachain**

On June 5, 2022, Bifrost went live with Polkadot Parachain. As announced before the auction, Bifrost participated in the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th auctions for the Polkadot Parachain slots and has successfully won the 18th slot with a two-year (96-week) slot lease. By generating vTokens to free up locked DOTs in Crowdloan, users participating in the Bifrost slot auction enjoy maximum liquidity.

In July 2021, Bifrost successfully bid for one of the first Kusama slots, officially deploying the SALP protocol on the chain, going live, and integrating the cross-consensus message format XCM to support the needs of subsequent projects in a decentralized manner for the first time. SALP protocol went live and integrated the cross-consensus message format XCM, supporting the demand for slot bidding for subsequent projects in a decentralized way for the first time. At the same time, it opened the HRMP channel with other parachains to open cross-chain interaction and further expand its business.

In the first two quarters of 2022, Bifrost upgraded and launched SALP 2.0, going live with Convert functionality to help users and organizations continue to participate in auctions, increase asset freedom, and unlock unlimited liquidity. In May of the same year, the SLP protocol went live, and vKSM was officially launched on the trading platform. Bifrost hopes to activate 80% of the PoS public chain’s capital utilization through the SLP protocol while enhancing consensus security and promoting the activity of Staking’s governance Token.

Bifrost will contribute to a cross-chain StakeFi ecosystem through the SLP and SALP protocols, actively bidding for Polkadot slots and contributing to more liquidity release solutions.

**Crowdloan Full Review**

The success of this auction was due to the investors who participated and contributed to the liquidity protocol created by Bifrost and the scientifically developed strategy for the entire process. Let’s review the complete process of this crowdloan auction.

![1_zJ7YbuDjy8v4znlaHzSR7g@2x.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/1_z_J7_Ybu_Djy8v4znla_Hz_SR_7g_2x_f9a4d182e8.png)

**Reservation**

Bifrost officially opened the reservation on April 7. DOT holders could subscribe to the email address and enter the Polkadot address through the Bifrost Polkadot Crowdloan website to make a reservation in advance. About 270+ addresses were participating in the Bifrost reservation campaign. Reservations were highly rewarded with a base bonus, an early bird bonus (20% extra BNC per DOT for voting during the official auction), and a channel bonus (0.1 additional BNC per DOT for vote via SALP). The Last Winner campaign was launched during the official Polkadot Parachain auction, and the high rewards in the prize pool motivated many people.

**Bidding**

Bifrost officially opened the Polkadot Crowdloan Auction on April 22nd, with 3,600,000 BNCs (4.5% of total BNCs) expected to be offered in the Polkadot slot auction for Bifrost locked DOT addresses through multiple incentives such as base bidding and Last Winner. Based on Bifrost’s economic model, a total of 11,000,000 BNC will be reserved for Polkadot slot bidding. The remaining 7,400,000 BNC will be used for soft-cap adjustment incentives and future renewals of parachain slots.

**Highlights**

The active participation in the auction and the high amount of DOT raised well for Bifrost’s success. Among the success highlights are the following: the total DOT raised was 403,658.1592 DOT, the number of Polkadot.js participating addresses, and the number of Bifrost SALP participating addresses were 746 and 274, respectively.

The Last Winner event finally competed for 5 winning addresses, of which the total number of BNC issued reached 33459.49, with an average of 6691.898 BNC per address. It is worth mentioning that the arrival time of the 300,000 soft top is at 8:38 a.m. on April 26, 2022, only 4 days after the auction officially started.

**Liquidity Protocol**

As mentioned above, the SALP and SLP protocols have brought liquidity release solutions to users and the industry after they were launched and achieved outstanding results. After the SALP business successfully helped Bifrost win the slot, it also helped 31 ecological partners to participate in the auction, of which 22 were successful. SALP currently has a total TVL of around $27,000,000, with liquidity reaching $665,731.1073. The SLP protocol currently has a total pledged volume of 70,834.5640 KSM and a TVL as high as $5,547,600.

The SALP and SLP protocols deliver high yield and high liquidity, enriching user portfolios and reducing the risk of lock-in in the staking economy. At the same time, the liquidity farming incentive supports users to sit on their earnings and provides high subsidies for investment participation. What Bifrost is doing revitalizes the investment behavior while following the trend and development of StakeFi, and continues to innovate around slot auctions.

**Bifrost Latest Roadmap**

Bifrost Opens HRMP Channels with Astar/Shiden to Support Asset Interoperability

# Introduction
Since the so-called DeFi Summer in 2020, the Decentralized Finance has overgrown. Therefore, the resulting financial products have made DeFi the primary path for the systemic growth of major public chains. Polkadot was born with its technical advantages of interoperability and cross-chain communication. It combines multiple blockchains into a unified and scalable network, aiming to solve the isolation and separation between single blockchains, raising this innovative technology to a new level.

Polkadot’s popularity is not only due to its technological innovation: From the users’ perspective, various DApps in the Polkadot ecosystem have brought excellent benefits. At the same time, its subsystem framework supports the value transfer between different blockchains. Therefore, investors can get a more consistent and convenient experience and reduce their cross-chain threshold and cost.

Since the launch of Rococo V1, Polkadot’s special parachain test-net published by one of the Polkadot co-founders at the end of 2020, DOT has increased its value. Last year, the Polkadot Parachain Slot Auction attracted many project parties and investors, which paid attention to the market dynamics and got their spot in the parachain slot auction, making significant profits. On the other hand, users felt the pain of fixed assets and limited investment behavior during the parachain slot auction lock-up period. Today, Bifrost Finance, with the latest SALP 2.0 launch, proposes a liquidity release scheme to solve the lock-up of slot auction assets, providing investors with unlimited liquidity paths.

# Slot Auction and Liquidity

![6.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/6_be0ae91b10.png)

First, it is worth spending some time explaining a bit of context to novice readers and investors. As a typical PoS blockchain, Polkadot has set up a Staking mechanism with two purposes: network security and the bottom layer of consensus, which can ensure stability with a high mortgage rate and guarantee the user’s income.

The Polkadot Slot Auction is a project based on Polkadot characteristics, and its underlying financial layer is Staking. Polkadot consists of a Relay chain, parachains, and transfer bridge. The relay chain is the center of the Polkadot network and is responsible for the security and control of the system; Parachains connect and interact with the Relay chain through slots. Therefore, if a new Parachain wants to access the ecosystem and interact with other parachains, it must use the slot to acknowledge the business interaction. 80% of the slots in Polkadot are commercial slots, which are opened by auction.

Polkadot designed an auction method that allows the project to bid for the right to use the slots within a specific lease period, locking a certain amount of Tokens. Only after the lease term ends these tokens can be unlocked, and assets returned. It is worth mentioning that DOT participating in the mining process cannot be used on the auctions. In addition to large projects and institutional parties, retail investors can join a Crowdloan, increasing the number of DOT locked in. In this way, they will increase their chances of success. Naturally, the project will encourage users to participate with an incentive mechanism.

Whether it is a staking, farming or crowdloan auction, there is a pain point of Staking behavior: Staking assets cannot be used during the lock-up period, so users bear the opportunity cost and rely on market risk. The same is true for slot auctions. Therefore, to better address the impact of slot auctions, such as insufficient liquidity, locked assets, and reduced market behavior, Bifrost proposed SALP (Slot Auction Liquidity Protocol). It releases liquidity and brings an effective liquidity solution to users, the Polkadot ecosystem, and even the blockchain networks.

# SALP - vsToken & vsBond
SALP aims to release KSM/DOT liquidity locked in crowdloan by generating derivatives. SALP will significantly improve the fund utilization rate of crowdloan and attract more participants who have concerns about the lock-up period to support the slot auction. SALP increases the possibility of successful bidding in an auction for a project. To build a rich ecosystem, SALP can release the power of the locked-up liquidity. Therefore, KSM/DOT could gain more value based on users’ strategies and behaviors.

![8.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/8_0ecc7d68eb.png)

Participating in a Crowdloan through SALP gives access to two derivatives: vsDOT/vsKSM (Voucher Slot Token) and vsBond (Voucher Slot Bond). vsDOT/vsKSM is the derivative token of the DOT/KSM locked in the slot auction, while vsBond is determined by the supported auction items. If users vote for Parachain A, they will get vsBond — Parachain A, and if they vote for Parachain B, they will get vsBond — Parachain B. Please note that vsBond — Parachain A and vsBond — Parachain B are qualitatively different.

Bifrost started with the Token attribute of participating in the Crowdloan, decoupled its asset attribute from its equity attribute, and designed vsToken and vsBond. In addition to the differences between homogeneous and non-homogeneous characteristics, there are differences in specific performance and use. vsToken can trade at any time or cooperate with vsBond for 1:1 redemption after the end of the parachain lease term. The vsBond can be traded through the vsBond trading market built-in in Bifrost without considering liquidity.

# SALP 2.0
Since its launch, the SALP (Slot Liquidity Protocol) has launched derivatives such as vsKSM and vsDOT, successfully participated in the Kusama Slot Auction, and has been linked to Kusama as a parachain. A total of 42 eco-partners have participated in the auction through SALP, with 6,963 active Crowdloan addresses and a TVL of $21,000,000. The amount of derivative liquidity generated by SALP has reached $508,113. These data reflect the remarkable achievements and positive role of SALP in releasing liquidity, helping project bidding, facilitating user market behavior, and reducing opportunity costs.

But as we all know: What is good can continuously be improved. So, based on many market trials and continuous optimization, SALP 2.0 will be launched with some brand-new features to help our users participate in slot auctions, improve asset freedom and release unlimited liquidity strategies.

SALP’s design of vsToken and vsBond has solved the problem of releasing the liquidity of some lock-up KSM/DOT. Nonetheless, users encountered various issues: vsKSM cannot be accepted rigidly alone, the vsBond mechanism is seriously fragmented, and some users’ transaction experience and the whole efficiency in the actual process need to be optimized.

Based on this, SALP 2.0 introduces the mechanism of mutual conversion between vsToken and vsBond. Using the system pricing mechanism, different conversion exchange rates are determined according to different redemption periods to obtain a more accurate vsBond value to realize the conversion from non-homogeneous vsBond with additional value to entirely homogeneous vsToken. It makes the circulation of vsBond smoother and meets users’ needs to release total liquidity quickly.

![9.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/9_ef8d002a83.png)

The specific conversion rules are as follows:

- Users participating in crowdloan can convert vsBond into a certain amount of vsKSM at the system pricing exchange rate;
- Retail users can purchase vsKSM and convert vsKSM into vsBond at another system exchange rate;
- vsBond → vsKSM exchange rate is about 0.6 → 1 (Opportunity cost and Staking annualized income);
- When the exchange rate of vsBond → vsKSM is 0.6, the exchange rate of vsKSM → vsBond is 1.25 (The actual exchange rate is 1.666).

vsKSM/vsBond Convert: https://bifrost.app/swap?tab=convert

Bond Market: https://bifrost.app/bond

Not only those who participate in crowdloan but also those who want to invest in derivatives and try different ways of operating at this time can seize the opportunity from the vsToken & vsBond swap mechanism of SALP 2.0 and obtain higher returns.

For example, when the price of vsKSM is stable at 0.5 KSM, a stable rate of return can be obtained according to the lock-up time. The longer the lock-up time, the higher the annualized rate of return: When the price of vsKSM drops, the arbitrage yield of the whole period increases, and the yield of vsBond close to the redemption period increases significantly.

# The Bond Market
SALP 2.0 not only updates and optimizes the existing mechanism but also enables users already familiar with Bifrost Dapp to have a better experience and obtain higher revenue and unlimited liquidity. At the same time, it has also launched two new functions: Bond market and Current pledge, which are outstanding derivatives investment options for new users.

![10.png](https://cdn.bifrost.finance/cms/10_4f0c1fa587.png)

The Bond market is a function that automatically matches a vsToken and a vsBond to package their redemption period and yield. It has the same attributes as the traditional bond market. Of course, new users do not need to pay attention to the operating mechanism and underlying structure of slot auctions and crowdloan. They only need to know the primary financial instrument of traditional bonds: seize the favorable opportunities such as interest rate fluctuation and redemption period, improve the yield and obtain the return on investment.

# Improved liquidity of vsKSM
The launch of the liquidity staking function improves the liquidity of vsKSM, ensures the liquidity of the Bond market, and provides a more stable environment for user arbitrage. The bottom level and performance of its functions are: support users to carry out vsKSM single currency mining and obtain higher incentives while contributing to the liquidity of vsKSM. When the liquidity of vsKSM is improved, the exchange transactions of vsBond and vsKSM are increased, the number of vsBonds in the SALP 2.0 agreement is also increased, which can provide more vsBonds to the market and increase the matching of vsKSM-vsBond.

Bifrost launches SALP 2.0, Unlocking Unlimited Liquidity for Slot Derivatives

## Filecoin Network

Filecoin, a peer-to-peer network that leverages the IPFS protocol, is among the leading decentralized storage solution providers. Since its mainnet launch in 2020, the network has attracted over 19.19 EiB (Petabytes) of storage space, thanks to its economic incentives and cryptographic measures that ensure the reliability of stored files over time. However, the project’s ambitions have not been fully realized: Filecoin continues to work towards achieving a “global hard disk” with more computing power.

One key strategy is to lower the entry barrier for new participants to achieve its goal. There are currently two barriers that potential Storage Providers must meet: high FIL staking cost and physical storage operating costs.

To ensure the stability of the network, all Storage Providers must stake a proportional amount of $FIL based on the computing power they provide. In the event of offline storage or data loss, Storage Providers face a Slash penalty.

Each sector packaged for storage providers requires hard drives and stake tokens. Overall, the staking cost of FIL accounts for 80% of the cost structure of storage providers, whilst the cost of physical storage operations (including hard drive purchase, depreciation, maintenance, iteration, electricity, network deployment and network fees, etc.) accounts for only 20% of the cost.

Thus, the difficulty in FIL acquisition could deter potential storage providers from entering this field or stop everyday users who hold FIL from earning more via operating their own devices.

Liquid staking solutions present possibilities for breaking down these barriers. We can overcome both hurdles with liquid staking, which is also facilitated by Filecoin’s recently launch of FVM, a Filecoin-based virtual machine environment that allows developers to deploy smart contracts directly to Filecoin.

## Liquid Staking

Liquid staking is a rapidly growing alternative to locking up a users’ tokens and contributing to the security of PoS blockchains. PoS chains require stakes from nodes in the network to maintain their security, and there is a waiting time before unstaking allows for the retrieval of staked assets. This imposes an opportunity cost on the node and the pledgee delegating to the node. Liquid staking provides stakers with increased liquidity and capital efficiency.

## Bifrost - Omnichain LSD

Bifrost, a leading permissionless cross chain liquid staking protocol for staked assets, has leveraged liquid staking to provide opportunities for multiple asset types through its SLP (Staking Liquidity Protocol) protocol. Through the protocol, Bifrost mints liquid staking derivatives (LSD), vTokens, enabling users to participate in staking without losing liquidity.

Bifrost SLP will release a new LSD asset, vFIL, which supports full-chain LSD extensions. With vFIL, Bifrost will become the liquid staking service provider for the Filecoin ecosystem and extend the base layer of Filecoin.

## vFIL Mechanism

Bifrost’s non-custodial liquid staking solution allows users to stake their FIL and receive vFIL (voucher FIL) in exchange. vFIL is one of the voucher tokens in the Bifrost vToken set, representing the liquid-staking token of staked FIL.

By using the bridge between Filecoin and Polkadot, vFIL can exist in EVM and Substrate asset formats, simplifying the operativity between the Polkadot and Filecoin FVM ecosystems. The underlying mechanism behind vFIL is run by the Bifrost SLP.

vFIL holders will also receive an ongoing share of FIL revenue, while storage providers can expand their storage capacity in this way, without focusing on staking requirements.

## Revenue Structure

The storage provider’s revenue is divided into three main components:

1. Storage revenue - The storage provider earnings for storing data for Filecoin users. After gaining storage revenue, the system locks it and unlocks it linearly over 520 days.

2. The participation reward for the consensus nodes of the Filecoin network.

3. Gas fees.

## Revenue Allocation

The storage provider and the vFIL holder will receive a portion of the revenue, with the storage provider earning ~60% and the vFIL holder receiving ~40% (as defined by the storage provider). The vFIL’s revenue portion shall be compounded automatically as interest and represented in an upward adjustment of the exchange rate.

Consider the following example with an accumulation return of 5%. By staking initially 1 FIL, users acquire a 5% return on their initial principal. With this system in place, the swap rate will automatically adjust upward so that each vFIL equals 1.05 FIL returns — allowing users to reap increased rewards from providing liquidity. The payout mechanism eliminates the need for users to manually claim and compound their earnings, providing a hassle-free experience for vFIL holders.

If another user were to stake 1 FIL at this time, they would only receive ~0.9524 vFIL, which would be fair to any user casting or redeeming at any point in time.

## vFIL Benefits

There are various advantages for users staking FIL and minting vFIL on Bifrost:

- Exposure to FIL native staking rewards whilst holding vFIL and having liquidity: vFIL’s price attribute will mimic FIL; therefore, vFIL will fluctuate with the rise and fall of FIL, however, vFIL’s price will rise relative to FIL because of the accumulation of staking income.

- Automatic compounding of staking rewards: without any operation, the rewards will be automatically re-commissioned and compounded.

- Access to liquidity with Flexible trading: vFIL is tradable at any time in the secondary market, holding vFIL users will not have any liquidity risk.

- Advance earnings: Although storage revenue takes 520 days to unlock linearly, the price of vFIL reflects unissued earnings in advance, with a discount rate.

- Fast Redemption: Users can redeem their underlying FIL with rewards whilst vFIL is destroyed by the protocol. The system places redemption requests in a queue and matches them with new mint requests to facilitate fast processing. This approach may still require a certain waiting period for the user initiating the redemption. However, If the user wishes to redeem immediately, they can swap through the liquidity pool of vFIL/FIL on Bifrost.

- vFIL will have various LSD & #DeFi benefits, including trading, lending, and borrowing within Bifrost.
Finally, whilst users can earn staking rewards on their staked FIL, they will have the flexibility in participating in DeFi scenarios with vFIL within native Polkadot Substrate, EVM and Filecoin ecosystems.

## What vFIL means for the Filecoin network

vFIL adds the following advantages, besides the FIL holder and Storage Providers benefits:

- As the capital threshold for storage providers decreases, more storage providers will join the network, boosting the overall computing power of the Filecoin network.

- vFIL will facilitate increased FIL staking in the network, improving the consensus security of the Filecoin network.

- We’ll write the delegation algorithm to skew delegation towards storage providers in regions with less arithmetic power to improve the balance of Filecoin’s arithmetic power in the geographic distribution and promote the arithmetic democracy of Filecoin.

## vFIL Launch Details
 
vFIL is issued based on the Bifrost SLP protocol and it will be implemented in two phases:

**Phase One - The Multi-Signature Phase**

We’ll deploy vFIL using a multi-signature account on Filecoin and an off-chain EVM. The user will transfer FIL to the multi-signature address on the Filecoin chain, and the off-chain EVM will notify the SLP module on the Bifrost chain to mint vFIL for the user, with the amount minted depending on the current swap rate.

The multi-signature address will delegate the FIL to the storage provider, encapsulate the sector, and start generating revenue. During the multi-signature phase, the vFIL will liquid staking a hard top. Upon reaching the hard top, staking vFILs becomes impossible.

**Phase Two - The FVM Phase**

FVM is a virtual machine environment based on the Filecoin network. FVM went live on the Filecoin network on March 14, allowing developers to deploy smart contracts on the Filecoin network directly based on FVM. vFIL will enter the second phase after we complete the development of the corresponding contracts, in which we’ll achieve full decentralization of vFIL based on FVM contracts. At that point, we’ll remove the vFIL minting hard top.

vFIL will obtain the investment opportunities of Filecoin and storage arithmetic to Polkadot and the broader chain-wide ecosystem. As an interest-bearing asset, vFIL will be a better underlying asset in the DeFi world, and vFIL holders will potentially reap multiple benefits in multi-chain DeFi.

Bifrost is launching vFIL, One of The First Liquid Staking Solutions for the Filecoin Network

## What is Bifrost Fellowship

Referencing the [Polkadot Technical Fellowship](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-technical-fellowship), 

> Fellowship is a self-governing body of experts and developers of Polkadot, Kusama, and Parachain protocols. It operates on-chain through [fellowship referenda](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/fellowship) and off-chain through the [community discussion](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/discussions) repository
> 

The Bifrost Fellowship aims to foster the long-term development and growth of the Bifrost Protocol by considering its long-term roadmap from various perspectives. This might include discussions, research, and implementation from diverse standpoints. For instance:

- Efficient use of treasury, screening of effective supporting/integration schemes, strategic channelling of liquidity incentives, etc.
- Strategic vToken deployment plans to discover broader ecosystem integrations and development.
- How to increase brand awareness, organization, and planning of marketing and community activities.
- Discussion and research on new technology releases, how to combine with Bifrost and integration, etc.
- Guide the community to participate in OpenGov and improve the activity of governance.

The fellowship will include members with a diverse range of expertise and experience. This includes developers with technical skills, founders and builders of other DeFi and Web3 protocols, blockchain researchers, professional infrastructure and node operators, community and opinion leaders, ecosystem contributors, and partners.

These individuals will form various sub-fellowships, each divided according to their specific expertise, experience, and skill set. Each sub-fellowship will have its own mandate, role, and responsibilities, and will consist of expert members.

## What is Bifrost Sub-fellowship

Each sub-fellowship will be responsible for its specific field and will be tasked to initiate proposals, manage its sub-fellowship, onboard members, and initiate discussions of proposals related to its expert field. For each sub-fellowship, a leader will be nominated who will represent the sub-fellowship to lead reviews and discussions. The Sub-fellowships will be detailed in the following context.

### Application for Fellowship Membership

Anyone (including individuals or entities) interested in participating as a candidate in the Bifrost Fellowship program is encouraged to inform the community of their plans to run on the [discussion forum](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/discussions) by following the steps below:

- **Phase 1: Self-introduction - At any time**

    - Background of your motivation for Fellowship membership application.
    - **Clarify which sub-fellowship you are applying to join.**
    - As a member of a particular sub-fellowship, state how you will add value, help Bifrost grow, and identify the aspects Bifrost needs to improve.
    - What is your individual/entity background and experience, and why should the community and fellowship members vote for you? (Provide your governance experience with on-chain or off-chain proof.)
    
- **Phase 2: Discussion and evaluation by community & Fellowship**
    
  - During this phase, the corresponding sub-fellowship leader will comment and lead the evaluation and engagement process. This phase normally takes 7-14 days and includes time for the Fellowship to discuss internally and conclude. Following this, the Candidate can decide whether or not to post the formal proposal on-chain in the next phase.
    
- **Phase 3: Initiate on-chain proposal-dynamic voting time**
    
  - After considering the Fellowship’s suggestion in the previous phase, candidates can ask the Fellowship or can self-post their proposal on-chain, and initiate an on-chain referendum.
  
## Fellowship Referenda

The fellowship's governance model has multiple tracks, each with its own approval and support parameters, where votes are weighted according to their ranks.

Members of the Fellowship can vote on any given proposal, and the aggregated vote of all members (weighted by their rank) constitutes the Fellowship's collective vote.

> Most Bifrost Fellowship Referenda Origin are [Runtime function extrinsic](https://www.notion.so/aeb7d71d48f641e8bd1015fa5555a602?pvs=21). Hence, most referenda are initiated by Strategy Fellowship and Tech Fellowship, and other fellowship members are led to vote on them. 

The list of current and historic fellowship referenda can be viewed on [Subsquare](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/fellowship).

### Rank Updates[](https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-polkadot-technical-fellowship#rank-updates)

Fellowship members can request an update on their ranks at any time, and **each year, they can be updated by one rank**.

1. Any fellowship member up to rank 4 can be promoted to the next rank through a fellowship referendum that can be voted by the members who are ranked two or higher. For instance, the fellowship [referenda 64](https://collectives.subsquare.io/fellowship/referenda/64), which promotes a member from rank 1 to rank 2, can only be voted by members whose ranks are greater than or equal to 3.
2. Promotion of the Polkadot Fellowship members from rank 5 needs to be done through an OpenGov referendum. For more information, check the rank updates section on the [fellowship dashboard](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/fellowship/members).

## Whitelisting

Polkadot OpenGov allows the Technical Fellowship to authorize an origin known as "Whitelisted-Caller" to execute with Root-level privileges for calls approved by the Fellowship (**currently, only level-three fellows and above can vote for whitelist calls**). Note that the fellowship cannot unanimously change the network parameters, conduct rescues, or move assets. The whitelisted proposals still have to go through the whole life cycle of an OpenGov referendum and can only be enacted when the referendum passes successfully.

The whitelisting process starts as a fellowship referendum with an embedded XCM call from the collectives system chain to the Polkadot relay chain. For instance, the [Bifrost Fellowship referenda #14](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/fellowship/referenda/52) was used to **whitelist** the [Bifrost OpenGov referenda #14](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/14).

## Sub-Fellowship Salary

The Salary structure will be announced in Q4 2024.

Bifrost Fellowship | 详解 Sub-Fellowship 的组成和职责

In the [Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 proposal](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/77), Bifrost plans to use 100% of protocol profits for BNC buybacks, with 90% allocated to bbBNC holders and the remaining 10% to be burned. The release of this proposal has sparked considerable interest among community members, who have raised numerous questions. In response, we have organized a FAQ document to comprehensively address these inquiries from the community.

_Note: Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 is currently still in the proposal discussion, and all contents do not represent the final official version that will be launched._

### What is bbBNC?

bbBNC is an escrow token. Users can obtain bbBNC by liquid staking BNC to acquire vBNC and then locking this vBNC to receive bbBNC. **The amount of bbBNC a user gets depends on the quantity of vBNC locked and the duration of the locking period**.

### Why the bbBNC mechanism designed to be so complex?

The shortcomings of airdrop mechanisms stem largely from their lack of requirements for significant participant contributions or long-term commitments, leading to mere token distributions. This often results in participation driven by personal gain, with individuals quick to sell their rewards, highlighting the fundamental flaws of airdrops.

The bbBNC mechanism includes multiple layers to specifically reward users who are actively engaged. By introducing a lock-up period dimension, it incentivizes users to hold their investments over the long term, enhancing their returns through a leveraged rewards system and fostering the sustainable growth of the entire ecosystem.

### Why does the bbBNC mechanism include a locking period?

Community members primarily express two concerns:

The escrow mechanism and locked token reward strategy may not effectively reduce selling pressure. While locking vBNC postpones immediate sell-offs, it could lead to a psychological shift among users, potentially triggering even more intense selling if users fear others might sell first.

Are only bbBNC holders eligible for profit sharing, or could a variety of choices be offered? If rewards were diversified, users might be more amenable to long-term commitments.

bbBNC, similar to other escrow tokens, integrates enhanced rights and benefits. Simply locking tokens does not address the issue of selling pressure; instead, genuine confidence in the protocol by users is the critical pillar of tokenomics development. Thus, sharing protocol revenues with bbBNC holders through Bifrost's liquidity staking is the essential foundation for building market value.

**bbBNC = Governance + Staking Yields + Protocol Profit Sharing + Burning Mechanism**

This design philosophy is intended to fulfill the community’s diverse needs more comprehensively, considering user psychology and market dynamics. Establishing a lock-up period aims to bolster the token's value by leveraging rewards for long-term holders, thereby fostering deeper and more enduring engagement with the protocol rather than short-term trading.

### What are the rewards for bbBNC holders?

bbBNC holders can get vBNC as rewards.

### How to calculate early redemption fees rewards of bbBNC ?

We are planning to launch a "Protocol Profits" page on Bifrost dApp, allowing users to monitor protocol profits

Additionally, the data can be tracked through the on-chain address of the Bifrost Treasury.

The formula for calculating the early unlock of bbBNC is available in the proposal:
https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/77

Redemption Fee = {(Remaining locked blocks + 2,628,000) / 10,512,000 (4-year block height)}^2

The vBNC that users can get by unlocking in advance = Locked vBNC * (1 - Redemption Fee)

### Why bbBNC is non-transferrable?

bbBNC is purposefully designed as a Pallet on the Bifrost blockchain, serving primarily to keep records of locked BNC addresses, which inherently restricts its transferability.

However, in special cases such as switching wallets or if an account is compromised (e.g., by a hacking incident), there arises a necessity to move tokens. We are actively exploring potential solutions to accommodate such needs.

### How are bbBNC Rewards Calculated?

bbBNC holders periodically receive rewards from the vePallet module. These rewards come from various sources in the Bifrost ecosystem, such as transaction fees, SST revenue, swap fees, and commissions from vToken transactions.

The rewards are issued monthly. The division of these rewards is based on the proportion of bbBNC shares that each user holds at the time of reward distribution, enabling them to claim a corresponding share of the total rewards pool.

### Which liquidity pools (LP pools) support bbBNC boosting?

As of now, only the vBNC-vDOT liquidity pool supports bbBNC boosting. We are considering extending this support to additional LP pools in the future.

### Are the fees from early redemptions of bbBNC shared with its holders?

Yes, fees collected from early redemptions are distributed to bbBNC holders.

### Where can track the protocol profits?

We are preparing to launch a "Protocol Profits" page on our dapp, which will enable users to monitor the income generated by the protocol.

In addition, this information can be tracked through the on-chain address of the Bifrost Treasury.

### Will bbBNC impact the liquidity of BNC on decentralized and centralized exchanges?

Following the opening of the Polkadot-Kusama bridge to other tokens, vBNC will be integrated into the omnipool.

The rollout of bbBNC is not anticipated to drastically alter the market liquidity of BNC, as many BNC are already locked in staking (either as Collators or vBNC). It remains to be seen whether these stakers will opt to convert their vBNC into bbBNC.

### What effects does the burning mechanism of bbBNC bring?

The total quantity of BNC is fixed and does not undergo inflation. The greater the protocol's earnings, the more BNC will be destroyed. The burning mechanism aims to create a deflationary effect by steadily decreasing the total token supply, which could enhance the value of the remaining tokens.

### How can the BTA issue be addressed?

We are exploring the possibility of converting BTA into Raindrop points through a whitelist approach. Alternatively, we might delay the BTA conversion until next year to align with emerging trends in the NFT market.

### What Can The Collators Benefit from bbBNC?

bbBNC is indirectly connected to Collators since it is created using vBNC, which involves staking BNC with Collators. This relationship ensures that the interests of Collators are considered in the bbBNC ecosystem.

bbBNC Community FAQ - A Deep Dive into Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0

在 Bifrost 经济模型 2.0 提案中， Bifrost 计划使用协议利润的 100% 用于回购 BNC，并将其中 90% 分配至 bbBNC 持有者，剩余 10% 将被销毁。提案发出后，社区成员非常关注，并提出了一些问题，我们整理了一份 FAQ，详细回答社区的疑惑。

_* 新经济模型目前仍处于提案讨论阶段，所有内容均不代表最终正式上线的版本。_

### 什么是 bbBNC

bbBNC 是一种锁仓票据，用户通过质押 BNC 获取 vBNC，再锁定 vBNC 来获取 bbBNC，锁定的 vBNC 数量越多，锁定时间越长，获得的 bbBNC 数量越多。

### bbBNC 机制为什么设计得这么复杂？

普通的空投机制存在许多不足之处，因为空投往往不要求参与者有实质性的贡献或长期承诺，而是简单地分发代币，这不可避免地促使人们出于利益而参与，一旦获得奖励便迅速抛售，这种现象说明了空投机制本身的漏洞。

bbBNC 的机制则包含了多个维度，目的是为了奖励真正积极参与的用户。因此，我们引入了锁仓时长这个维度，奖励那些愿意长期持有的用户。这种方法不仅能够激励用户长期持有，还通过提供奖励的杠杆效应，增强了持有者的回报，从而支持了整个生态系统的健康发展。

### bbBNC 机制为什么设置锁定期？

社区用户主要有以下两点疑惑：

- Escrow 机制和锁定代币奖励策略可能并没有真正减轻抛售压力。尽管锁定 vBNC 可以将抛售压力推迟，但这种方法会导致用户心理的变化，可能导致更加激烈的抛售行为，因为用户会担心其他人先行抛售。
- 是否只有 bbBNC 持有者才能分享利润，是否可以为用户提供多样化的选择？如果奖励是多种形式的，用户可能更容易接受长期锁定。

bbBNC 与其他 escrow 代币类似，并且融入了更多权益。单纯的代币锁定无法解决抛压的问题，但用户对协议的信心才是真正支撑经济发展的核心。因此，**Bifrost 流动性质押与 bbBNC 持有人共享协议收入才是奠定市值的根本**。

**bbBNC = 治理 + 质押收益 + 分享协议收入 + 燃烧机制**

这样的设计理念，旨在更全面地满足社区的多样化需求，同时考虑到用户心理和市场动态。设立锁定期旨在通过为长期持有者提供奖励杠杆来增强持有代币的价值，从而鼓励与协议的更持久的参与，而不是短期投机。

### 持有 bbBNC 会获得什么奖励？

持有 bbBNC，会获得 vBNC 作为奖励。

### 提前解锁的赎回费和 bbBNC 奖励的计算公式？

我们计划在 dapp 上线一个「协议利润」的页面，用户将能够跟踪协议收入。

此外，也可以通过 Bifrost Treasury 的链上地址进行监控。

bbBNC 提前解锁的计算公式可以在提案里找到: [Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 (bbBNC) Proposal](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/posts/77)

赎回费用 = {(剩余锁定区块数 + 2,628,000) / 10,512,000 (四年的区块高度)}^2

用户通过提前解锁可以获得的 vBNC = 锁定的 vBNC * (1 - 赎回费)

### 为什么 bbBNC 是不可转移的？

bbBNC 实际上被设计为 Bifrost 链上 Pallet 针对锁定 BNC 地址的信息记录，因此 bbBNC 无法进行转账等操作。

在更换钱包或账户受到损害（例如，被黑客攻击）等特殊情况下，需要进行代币转移。我们目前正在讨论针对这类需求的解决方案。

### bbBNC 奖励是如何计算的

bbBNC 持有者会定期从 vePallet 模块接收奖励。这些奖励来源于 Bifrost 生态的各种收入，如交易手续费、SST 收入、Swap fee 和 vToken 佣金。

每一个月进行一次奖励发放结算。基于用户在结算时的 bbBNC share 值来瓜分奖池中的所有奖励。

### 支持 bbBNC boosting 的 LP 池子有哪些？

目前只有 vBNC-vDOT 池子支持 bbBNC 增益，之后会考虑拓展到其他 LP 池子。

### 提前赎回 bbBNC 的手续费会分享给 bbBNC 持有人吗？

是的，提前赎回的费用将分享给 bbBNC 持有者。

### 在哪里可以查看到协议利润的数据？

我们计划在 dapp 上线一个「协议利润」的页面，用户将能够跟踪协议收入。

此外，也可以通过 Bifrost Treasury 的链上地址进行监控。

### bbBNC 会影响 BNC 在 DEX/CEX 平台上的流动性吗？

在 Polkadot - Kusama 桥对其他代币开放后，vBNC 将被加入 omnipool。

bbBNC 的引入不会对 BNC 市场流动性产生特别大的影响。因为目前已经有许多 BNC 处于质押状态（Collator 或者 vBNC）。这些质押者也许会将 vBNC 转换成 bbBNC，时间会给出答案的。

### bbBNC 的燃烧机制会带来什么影响？

BNC 的总量是固定的，没有通胀机制。协议的收入越多，BNC 的销毁数量也越多。燃烧机制的目的就是通货紧缩，逐渐减少代币总供应量，从而可能增加剩余代币的价值。

### 如何解决 BTA 转换的问题？

我们正在考虑将 BTA 白名单转换成 Raindrop 积分。或者，将 BTA 推迟到明年，等待新的 NFT 市场热点。

### Collators 能否从 bbBNC 机制中受益？

bbBNC 通过 vBNC 铸造，而铸造 vBNC 所使用的 BNC 将被质押给 Collators，所以 bbBNC 与 Collators 是间接相关的。

Bifrost Monthly Report | November 2024

On March 28, 2023, Bifrost launched vFIL, the Liquid Staking Token of Filecoin. vFIL was the [first DePIN LST](https://bifrost.io/blog/lst-and-hardware-networks-bifrost-opens-a-new-era-of-liquid-staking) on Bifrost, marking a bold attempt to enter the heterogeneous blockchain LST market. Since its launch, Bifrost has provided Filecoin holders with a decentralized and secure LST service, with vFIL reaching a TVM peak of 100,000. However, the current vFIL service has faced several limitations.

- **Insufficient cross-chain experience**: The security audit mechanism of the multi-signature cross-chain bridge has led to a less-than-smooth experience.
- **Lack of on-chain applications**: There is a shortage of efficient use cases for vFIL.
- **Limited ecosystem synergy**: vFIL has not been deeply integrated with FEVM, resulting in limited ecosystem collaboration.
- **Insufficient decentralization support**: The operational mechanism lacks sufficient support for the integration of decentralized storage providers (SPs).
- **Inefficient redemption mechanism**: Redemption cycles are long, with high uncertainty.
- **Low market liquidity**: The vFIL secondary market price has remained low, and market activity has been sluggish.

Given that the current design and infrastructure of vFIL cannot meet the needs of users and SPs, and the service quality does not align with Bifrost’s LST standards, Bifrost has proposed [a graceful shutdown of vFIL](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/69).

# vFIL Shutdown Process

The shutdown of vFIL service will take place in stages, giving holders enough time to complete their redemptions. The detailed timeline is as follows:

## Phase 1 (Q4 2024)

- Stop FIL deposits into Bifrost (Completed)
- Stop vFIL minting (Scheduled for governance execution on December 31, 2024)

## Phase 2 (Q1 2025)

- Await the gradual expiration of FIL wrapped by Filecoin storage providers (SPs)
- Upon expiration, the unlocked FIL will be transferred to Bifrost’s vFIL Ready Pool.

### Wrapped FIL Expiration Dates:

- **f079426**: October 24, 2024 (Expired)
- **f02182258**: November 3, 2024 (Expired)
- **f0111584**: February 1, 2025

## Phase 3 (Q2 2025)

- Decommission on-chain vFIL asset custody
- Enable users to redeem vFIL at any time and directly swap back to FIL via fast redemption.
- Allow users to transfer FIL back to the Filecoin network via the cross-chain bridge.

## Phase 4 (By June 30, 2025)

- Disable FIL cross-chain bridge between Bifrost Chain and Filecoin network.
- After the bridge closed, vFIL can still be redeemed, but FIL will no longer be able to be immediately transferred back to the Filecoin network.

## Phase 5 (After June 30, 2025)

- Decommission on-chain modules related to FIL cross-chain transfers
- Users can still use Bifrost governance proposals to cross-chain FIL back to the Filecoin network, although this process may take several months

# User Guide

- **Self-Redemption**: It is recommended to complete vFIL redemption and cross-chain FIL to the Filecoin network before the end of **Phase 3** to avoid complications after the cross-chain service is halted.
- **Asset Check**: Ensure that you check assets in farming pools, any LP assets you hold, or vFIL assets cross-chained to Moonbeam to complete redemption in a timely manner.
- **Governance Redemption**: After the service is decommissioned (Phase 4), users can still initiate governance proposals to cross-chain FIL back to the Filecoin network, but this method may take several months to process.

# Future Plans

The shutdown of vFIL service does not mean that Bifrost gives up FIL LST and related business development. On the contrary, it reflects Bifrost’s reevaluation and optimization of the current mechanism and service model.

In the future, Bifrost may relaunch the FIL LST business under more favorable conditions, leveraging the lessons learned to deliver:

- Improved user experiences.
- More secure solutions.
- Greater ecosystem collaboration and value creation.

At that time, the on-chain vFIL and FIL assets retained will seamlessly integrated into future services, continuing to generate value for the community and users.

New Proposal | Graceful Shutdown of vFIL Service

2023 年 3 月 28 日，Bifrost 首次上线 Filecoin 流动性衍生品 vFIL，这是 Bifrost 上线的[第一个 DePIN LST](https://bifrost.io/zh-CN/blog/lsd-for-hardware-bifrost)，也是 Bifrost 布局异构链 LST 领域进行的一次大胆尝试。

自上线以来，Bifrost 为 Filecoin 用户提供了去中心化且安全的 LST 服务，vFIL 也曾一度达到 100,000 的 TVM 峰值。然而，现阶段的 vFIL 业务存在一些局限性。

- **跨链体验不足**：多签跨链桥的安全审核机制导致体验不够流畅。
- **链上应用匮乏**：缺少高效利用 vFIL 的场景。
- **化学反应不足**：未能与 FEVM 深度融合，生态协同效果有限。
- **去中心化支持缺乏**：运行机制对去中心化存储提供商（SP）的接入支持不足。
- **赎回机制低效**：赎回周期长且不确定性高。
- **市场流动性不足**：vFIL 二级市场价格长期低迷，市场交易活跃度低。

考虑到当前 vFIL 的机制设计和配套设施难以满足用户和 SP 的需求，同时服务质量未达到 Bifrost LST 产品的标准，因此 Bifrost 发起提案，[建议有序下线目前版本的 vFIL 服务](https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/69)。

# vFIL 下线流程

本次 vFIL 下线工作将分阶段进行，持有者有充足的时间完成赎回操作，具体安排如下：

## 第 1 阶段（2024 Q4）

- 停止 FIL 跨入 Bifrost 的功能（已完成）
- 停止 vFIL 铸造功能（计划于 2024 年 12 月 31 日通过治理执行）

## 第 2 阶段（2025 Q1）

- 等待 Filecoin 存储提供商（SP）封装的 FIL 逐步到期
- 到期后，将解锁的 FIL 跨链转入 Bifrost 的 vFIL Ready Pool

### 封装到期时间点

- **f079426**：2024 年 10 月 24 日（已到期）
- **f02182258**：2024 年 11 月 3 日 （已到期）
- **f0111584**：2025 年 2 月 1 日

## 第 3 阶段 (2025 Q2)

- 下线链上 vFIL 资产托管相关模块
- 支持用户随时赎回 vFIL，并通过快速赎回直接兑换回 FIL
- 可通过跨链桥随时将 FIL 跨回 Filecoin 网络

## 第 4 阶段（2025 年 6 月 30 日之前）

- 关闭 Bifrost 的 FIL 到 Filecoin 网络的跨链桥功能
- 关闭跨链桥后 vFIL 仍可赎回，但 FIL 无法通过跨链桥即时跨回 Filecoin 网络

## 第 5 阶段（2025 年 6 月 30 日之后）

- 下线 FIL 跨链相关的链上模块
- 用户仍可通过 Bifrost 治理提案，按需将 FIL 跨回 Filecoin 网络

# 用户操作指南

vFIL 持有者可以按照以下方式进行赎回操作：

- 自行赎回：建议尽量在第 3 阶段结束前完成 vFIL 的赎回，并将 FIL 跨链至 Filecoin 网络，避免后续跨链服务停止后无法即时地跨回您的 FIL 资产。
- 检查资产分布：请检查您在 Farming 池子的资产、您持有的相关 LP 资产，或者是跨链至 Moonbeam 的 vFIL 资产，确保及时完成赎回。
- 治理赎回：服务下线（第 4 阶段）后，用户仍可通过发起治理提案将 FIL 跨回 Filecoin 网络，但该方式可能耗时较长，一般需要数月的时间。

# 未来计划

本次 vFIL 服务的下线并不意味着放弃 FIL LST 及相关业务的发展。相反，这是 Bifrost 对当前机制和服务形态的重新审视和优化。

未来，在条件成熟时，Bifrost 有可能重新启动 FIL LST 业务，吸取此次经验，带来更好的用户体验，更安全的实现方案，更多的生态协同价值。

届时，链上留存的 vFIL 和 FIL 资产可以无缝延续到新的服务中，继续为社区和用户创造价值。

新提案｜vFIL 服务将逐步下线

In traditional staking, tokens are locked for a period, preventing their use. If you want to vote on a proposal, you must unstake your tokens, which means you lose staking rewards.

Bifrost's LST Governance introduces a new way to participate in decentralized decision-making without losing rewards:

- **Governance Participation**: LST holders can vote on proposals within the Bifrost ecosystem. These proposals may include updates to network settings or new features, helping to shape the network’s future.
- **Staking Rewards**: Holders continue to earn staking rewards while they vote. This means your assets are working for you, generating passive income while you participate in governance.

## LST Governance Features

Bifrost LST governance includes the following features:

- View ongoing proposals on the main chain
- Vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain
- Choose conviction level
- Lock vTokens to vote
- Unlock vTokens after the lock period ends

## How to experience LST governance on Bifrost

To understand vToken Voting, it is helpful to know how Bifrost LST and governance voting work, using vDOT as an example:

1. Addresses that stake DOT on Polkadot can participate in governance voting.
2. DOT staked for vDOT is controlled by derived addresses from Bifrost’s sovereign address on Polkadot. These addresses also have governance voting rights.
3. **Bifrost’s sovereign address** is a Polkadot parachain address: 13YMK2eeopZtUNpeHnJ1Ws2HqMQG6Ts9PGCZYGyFbSYoZfcm. The derived addresses used for staking and voting are keyless addresses.
4. Bifrost carries out governance voting on Polkadot through XCM calls to these derived addresses.

## vToken Governance Lock

When a user votes in governance using vToken, the corresponding vToken is locked based on the user’s chosen settings. **Locked vTokens cannot be transferred or redeemed**. However, this does not affect the yield from exchange rate increases.

An increase in the vToken exchange rate does not automatically increase its supply. When the governance lock period ends, the vToken is unlocked.

## Governance Lock Amount

A user’s vToken can participate in multiple governance referendums at once, so the lock duration varies. The governance lock amount is calculated based on the total vTokens held by the user. This allows vDOT to participate in multiple votes simultaneously.

![vtokenvoting.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/vtokenvoting_ae6a71d7f6.png)

Here is how vToken Voting works:

1. Assume a Bifrost user locks 10 vDOT to vote for Referenda 1 with a 3x Conviction.
2. The SLP module calculates the amount of vDOT equal to 12 DOT (assuming a 1:1.2 vDOT-DOT exchange rate). Based on the vote and the Conviction multiplier, the system makes an XCM call to the derived address under Bifrost’s sovereign address.
3. The staked DOT in the derived address determines the maximum voting power. This address votes in favor of Referenda 1 with 12 DOT and locks 3x Conviction.
4. When Referenda 1 ends and the Conviction Lock is lifted, Bifrost users can unlock their 10 vDOT. At the same time, the Conviction unlock is executed on Bifrost’s delegated address on the relay chain.

月报｜vDOT 铸造量突破 1100 万，100 万 DOT 流动性借款提案已通过公投！

In the world of DeFi, yield comes with risk—and staking is no exception. While liquid staking unlocks flexibility and capital efficiency, it also introduces new attack surfaces: smart contract exploits, validator slashing and governance manipulation.

For DOT holders seeking passive income, these risks aren’t just theoretical. In April 2025 alone, DeFi hacks cost the industry over $92 million, exposing serious vulnerabilities in protocol design and asset custody.

That’s why Bifrost takes a fundamentally different approach. As the leading liquid staking protocol in the Polkadot ecosystem, Bifrost is built not just to optimize yield—but to protect it. From sovereign account structures to on-chain insurance treasury and decentralized validator selection, every layer of Bifrost’s design is engineered for resilience.

Let’s explore how Bifrost turns staking into a secure, sustainable strategy for DOT holders.

## Proactive Monitoring and Incident Response

Smart contracts are the core infrastructure of blockchain applications, and their security has a direct impact on user assets. Even minor vulnerabilities can result in significant losses. Historically, DeFi has seen numerous attacks triggered by smart contract bugs, often causing financial damage.

Bifrost adopts a proactive defense strategy through real-time monitoring and permission control:

- All vTokens are stored in derived addresses controlled by Bifrost's sovereign account. This account is keyless and can only be managed through OpenGov or SLP protocol logic with **strict root-level permission control**.
- **Comprehensive audits** are conducted by trusted security firms like [OAK](https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/blob/main/Bifrost/2024-03-11%20Audit%20Report%20-%20Bifrost%20Finance%20Leveraged%20Staking%20v1.0.pdf), [SlowMist](https://github.com/bifrost-io/bifrost-wiki/blob/master/slowmist-rep-bifrost-2022-02.pdf) and CertiK, complemented by internal cross-team audit mechanisms to ensure continuous code optimization and timely vulnerability patches.
- Real-Time Monitoring & Emergency Response: The system monitors minted and reserved token balances in real time. If the difference exceeds a preset threshold, an alarm is triggered and an emergency pause mechanism is activated to secure user funds immediately.
- Even under extreme circumstances—such as a full takeover of Bifrost’s parachain by a malicious actor—DOT unstaking requires a 28-day unbonding period, providing ample time to respond through governance actions.

## Enhanced Validator Decentralization

In PoS consensus, validator centralization can weaken network security and increase the risk of collusion or targeted attacks. Bifrost addresses this by implementing a dual-list mechanism: the [Validator White List (VWL)](https://docs.bifrost.io/faq/what-are-vtokens/validator-governance#conditions-for-nodes-to-naturally-participate-in-slp) and [Validator Boost List (VBL)](https://docs.bifrost.io/for-partners/validator-boost-list-vbl).

- The VWL dynamically adjusts based on a transparent scoring system that evaluates reputation, security, performance, and geographic diversity.
- The VBL is curated through community governance and public voting.

Key metrics considered in VWL selection include node diversity by region, historical performance, slashing records, leverage ratio, yield efficiency, and commission rates. Validator rankings adjust dynamically to maintain a healthy, risk-controlled pool.

![validator selection.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/validator_selection_33cf898cbc.png)

## Slash Protection

Slashing risk—when a validator’s misbehavior or technical failure causes staked assets to be penalized—is a critical concern in liquid staking. Bifrost has established a comprehensive slashing risk-sharing mechanism:

- 20% of all vToken commission fees are automatically allocated to a public insurance treasury.
- An additional 5% of BNC tokens are reserved as a protocol-level [insurance fund](https://docs.bifrost.io/tokenomics-2.0/bnc#slash-insurance-fund).
- In the event of a slash, the public fund is used first for compensation. If insufficient, the protocol reserve is tapped.
- If both funds are inadequate, the vToken exchange rate is adjusted downward, effectively socializing the loss across all vToken holders.

![Safety Mechanism - visual selection.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Safety_Mechanism_visual_selection_3b4943ea4c.png)

This model minimizes individual loss exposure, and the longer the SLP protocol operates, the more secure it becomes.

To date, slash events are extremely rare and typically minor. In 2.5 years of SLP operations, only one slash incident occurred—caused by a Kusama upgrade—and it was later canceled through governance.

## 1:1 Reserve Backing of Underlying Assets

Bank-run risks in liquid staking often stem from theft of reserve assets or extreme market volatility. Bifrost mitigates this via its sovereign account custody model and protocol-level safeguards embedded in SLP logic.

vDOT reserves and exchange rate management are handled independently within the Bifrost network. vDOT is backed 1:1 with DOT, significantly reducing the impact of market fluctuations.

Even in the case of mass redemptions, only the swap price between vDOT and DOT is affected—there is no impact on the redemption price.

## Robust Governance by OpenGov

Bifrost adopts [Polkadot’s OpenGov](https://wiki.polkadot.network/learn/learn-polkadot-opengov/) as governance framework. Every decision undergoes a full discussion and voting period (typically 14 days), followed by at least a 2-day enactment delay. This ample buffer allows the protocol to detect and thwart governance-based attacks, ensuring that all decisions are fair, transparent, and community-approved—eliminating centralized control risks.

![opengov-timeline.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/opengov_timeline_5c8c837536.png)

## Conclusion

DeFi’s promise comes with undeniable risk—but risk can be managed. From validator slashing to smart contract exploits, every layer of infrastructure demands intentional design and constant vigilance. Bifrost recognizes that building a secure liquid staking protocol isn’t just about code—it’s about governance, transparency, and shared responsibility.

Liquid staking is a financial evolution and with sovereign account custody, real-time monitoring, community-driven validator selection, and multi-layered insurance mechanisms, Bifrost is setting a new standard for secure staking.

Bifrost Monthly Report | June 2025

在 LST 赛道全面爆发的今天，质押不再只是「锁仓赚取年化」，而是流动性、收益率与资本效率的多维竞赛。正是在这一背景下，Bifrost 推出了 Loop Stake——一款创新的流动性质押资产（LST）杠杆管理工具。

它允许用户根据自身风险偏好，一键设定和管理杠杆率，高效放大流动性质押资产的收益潜力，免去传统循环借贷的繁琐操作和高昂 Gas 成本。

继支持 vDOT 和 vKSM 之后，Loop Stake 现已支持 vBNC 杠杆质押，Bifrost Treasury 将提供 100 万枚 BNC 启动初始流动性，vBNC 杠杆机会窗口已正式开启。

## 什么是 LST 杠杆质押

杠杆质押是推动流动性质押规模增长的关键策略，其核心在于利用 LST 资产作为抵押品进行借贷，并将借入的资金再次进行质押，形成循环。由于抵押品与借款（通常是原生 Token）高度相关，这种策略在显著提升潜在收益率的同时，相比其他杠杆策略面临的爆仓风险相对更小。

## 传统杠杆质押 vs. Loop Stake

传统杠杆质押需要用户多次重复操作（存入抵押品 -> 借款 -> 质押），步骤繁琐且 Gas 成本高昂。

Bifrost Loop Stake 通过智能合约集成闪电贷技术，一键自动化完成整个杠杆创建过程。用户无需手动执行多次循环操作，极大减少了交易笔数，显著降低了 Gas 成本，提供了更高效、更经济的杠杆质押体验。

自 2024 年 3 月推出 Loop Stake 以来，该工具已稳健运行 1 年多，累计供应和借出的 DOT 总量超过 170,000 枚，资金利用率稳定维持在 60% 左右，充分验证了其市场接受度和可靠性。

## vBNC Loop Stake 是如何运作的

使用 vBNC 进行 [Loop Stake](https://docs.bifrost.io/dapp-tutorials-and-use-cases/loop-stake-leverage-staking) 的操作流程如下：

- 质押 BNC： 将持有的 BNC 进行流动性质押，获得 vBNC
- 存入 vBNC： 将获得的 vBNC 存入 Loop Stake
- 设置杠杆： 根据风险偏好设定目标杠杆倍数，最高可设置 4 倍
- 预览收益： 系统将实时计算并显示预估的 Boost APY
- 确认执行： 确认参数后，一键完成杠杆创建。
- 管理杠杆： 后续可随时监控 LTV 数据和收益情况，及时调整杠杆。

![vBNC Loop Stake.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/v_BNC_Loop_Stake_95d59ee0bc.png)

我们以用户 Frosty 为例，来看看使用 Loop Stake 前后收益差距有多大。

假设 Frosty 拥有 100 BNC，他选择将其进行流动性质押，按照 7 月 8 日的汇率，可获得约 85.5 vBNC。在不使用任何杠杆的情况下，当前年化收益率约为 5.12%，一年下来预计可获得 5.12 BNC 的收益。

但 Frosty 并不满足于这样的回报，他希望进一步放大收益，于是选择使用 Loop Stake 设置 4 倍杠杆。

Loop Stake 会自动调用闪电贷，为他临时借入 300 BNC，加上原本的 100 枚，共计 400 枚 BNC 被用于质押，铸造出约 342 vBNC。这些 vBNC 将被用于抵押，闪电贷则转化为常规借贷头寸，用户开始获得更高的质押收益。

那具体收益能放大多少呢？

假设借贷部分利率按年 3% 计算，借 300 枚 BNC 的年利息为 9 BNC；质押 400 枚 BNC 的收益为 20.52 BNC；扣除利息后，净收益为 20.52 - 9 = 11.52 BNC / 年。

也就是说，在不增加本金的情况下，Frosty 的年化净收益率达到了 11.52%，是原来无杠杆状态下的 2.25 倍左右。

![Loop Stake Calculation.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Loop_Stake_Calculation_291b9ede74.png)

这正是 Loop Stake 的魅力所在：用同样的本金，撬动更高的质押收益，同时保留资金的流动性与灵活性。

## Loop Stake FAQ

### vToken 是否会脱锚？Loop Stake 仓位是否会存在被清算的状况？

在 Bifrost 的 Loop Stake 中，仅支持相关 Token 之间的借贷操作，在极端市场情况下，如果 vBNC 的价格与 BNC 出现显著偏离，由于 Loop Stake 仅接受 vBNC，所有抵押用户的质押率（LTV）可能会超过清算阈值，但他们的仓位依然会被保留（不会被清算），只是需要等待 vBNC 的价格恢复到预期的比例。

此外，vBNC/BNC 的流动性池采用的是 Stable Curve 自动化做市曲线，随 vBNC/BNC 的汇率变动。相比传统 AMM 做市曲线，其优点在于极低的交易滑点损耗与保持兑换率之间的相对稳定。此外，在发生大额交易时，MEV Bot 会迅速出动，抹平其对价格造成的影响。Bifrost 官方将运行一组 MEV 机器人，任何第三方也可以运行套利机器人。

### Loop Stake 的借贷利率是浮动的吗？

是的，借贷利率随资金池利用率动态调整。

### 预言机价格有被操纵的风险吗？

存在极小概率。Bifrost 使用了 4 家预言机的数据源，价格会去除异常值，多重机制有效避免被单一预言机操控。

### 会因为节点被 Slash 而损失资产吗？

如果验证节点被惩罚（Slash），对应的 staking 收益和 vToken 价格会受到影响。Bifrost 已上线 Slash 风险保护机制，减少用户损失。

### Loop Stake 的合约安全吗？

Loop Stake 的所有核心合约已通过知名审计机构 [Oak Security 的安全审计](https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/blob/main/Bifrost/2024-03-11%20Audit%20Report%20-%20Bifrost%20Finance%20Leveraged%20Staking%20v1.0.pdf)。此外，Bifrost 也即将启动漏洞赏金计划，鼓励社区和白帽开发者共同参与合约安全建设，进一步提升协议的安全性和抗风险能力。

一键放大质押收益，vBNC 正式上线 Loop Stake！

As liquid staking continues to expand, staking has evolved far beyond simple “lock-and-earn” models. Today, it’s a multi-dimensional race involving liquidity, yield, and capital efficiency.

**Loop Stake**, developed by Bifrost, is a leverage management tool tailored for liquid staking tokens (LST). It allows users to set and manage their preferred leverage level with just one click—unlocking higher yield potential without the hassle of manual recursive lending or high gas costs.

Following successful support for **vDOT** and **vKSM**, Loop Stake now officially supports **vBNC leverage staking**. Backed by **1,000,000 BNC** in initial liquidity from the Bifrost Treasury, the opportunity to maximize your BNC staking returns is now open.

## What Is Leverage Staking for LSTs

Leverage staking is a key growth strategy for LSTs. The core idea is to use your LST tokens as collateral to borrow more of the native asset, then stake it again—creating a compounding loop.

Because the collateral (LST) and the borrowed asset (typically the native token) are closely correlated, the strategy boosts yield significantly while carrying relatively lower liquidation risk than other leverage schemes.

## Traditional Leverage vs. Loop Stake

Traditionally, leverage staking involves multiple repetitive steps:

Deposit → Borrow → Stake → Repeat until there is no arbitrage opportunity left

It’s complex, gas-intensive, and not user-friendly.

Loop Stake solves this by bundling the entire loop into a single on-chain action. Through flash loan-powered smart contracts, it automates the full leverage cycle for you—reducing transaction count and gas fees, while delivering a seamless user experience.

Since its launch in March 2024, Loop Stake has run smoothly for over a year. It has processed over 170,000 DOT in supply and borrowing volume with a stable 60% utilization rate, proving both its market fit and protocol reliability.

## How vBNC Loop Stake Works

Here’s how to use Loop Stake with vBNC in just a few intuitive steps:

![vBNC Loop Stake.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/v_BNC_Loop_Stake_95d59ee0bc.png)

1. Stake BNC: Convert your BNC into vBNC via liquid staking.
2. Deposit vBNC: Supply vBNC into the Loop Stake contract.
3. Set Leverage: Choose your preferred leverage multiplier (up to 4x).
4. Preview Yield: The system will auto-calculate your estimated boosted APY.
5. Confirm: Approve and execute the transaction in one click.
6. Manage Position: Monitor, adjust, or close your leveraged position anytime.

![boost.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/boost_ebfdbe2cf9.png)

## How Leverage Magnifies BNC Staking Yield

Let’s say Frosty holds 100 BNC and wants to explore higher yield:

- He stakes 100 BNC and receives approximately 85.5 vBNC (based on July 8 exchange rate).
- The base APY for staking is around 5.12%, giving him about 5.12 BNC in expected annual rewards.

Now Frosty decides to use 4x leverage via Loop Stake:

- Leverage Execution: Loop Stake flash-loans 300 BNC, combining it with Frosty’s 100 BNC to stake 400 BNC in total, minting approximately 342 vBNC.
- The 342 vBNC is locked as collateral; the flash loan is converted into a regular loan.
- Frosty earns staking rewards on the 342 vBNC, while paying interest on the 300 BNC loan.

### Yield Breakdown

- Borrowing cost (3% interest on 300 BNC) = 9 BNC/year
- Staking reward (5.13% on 400 BNC) = 20.52 BNC/year
- Net profit = 20.52 - 12 = 11.52 BNC/year

That’s an 11.52% net APY on his 100 BNC principal—roughly a 2.25x boost compared to staking without leverage.

![Loop Stake Calculation.png](https://cdn.bifrost.io/cms/Loop_Stake_Calculation_291b9ede74.png)

## Why Loop Stake Makes Sense

In a maturing LST ecosystem, Loop Stake offers an efficient, low-cost, and one-click solution to multiply staking rewards.

By automating traditional looping strategies and minimizing gas overhead, it empowers both advanced and casual users to safely explore leveraged staking based on their individual risk appetite.

From vDOT to vBNC, Bifrost continues to expand the boundaries of what’s possible with liquid staking—and brings new utility and value to BNC in the process.

Try out [vBNC Loop Stake](https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vBNC?tab=loopstake) and take your staking yield to the next level.

## Loop Stake Risks and Mitigations (FAQ)

### Q1: Can vBNC lose its peg to BNC?

Yes, in extreme market conditions. Although vBNC is designed to track BNC value (plus staking yield), sudden large trades or slash events can cause temporary depegging.

vBNC/BNC pairs use a Stable Curve AMM that maintains stable pricing and low slippage. MEV bots operated by Bifrost (and open to third parties) help rebalance prices in real time.

### Q2: Is there liquidation risk?

No. In Bifrost Loop Stake, only loans between related tokens are supported, such as in the vBNC Loop Stake, only the operation of mortgaging vBNC to borrow BNC is supported. Since their relative prices on the market are relatively stable, when the price of BNC rises or falls, vBNC will also change synchronously.

In extreme market conditions, if the price of vBNC deviates significantly from BNC, since Loop Stake only accepts vBNC as collateral, the LTV of all mortgagors may exceed the liquidation threshold, but they will still remain in position (no liquidation), just waiting for the price of vBNC to return to its expected ratio.

### Q3: Are the interest rates fixed?

No. Borrow rates are dynamic and adjust based on pool utilization.

### Q4: Are oracle prices safe from manipulation?

Bifrost uses four independent oracle providers, filters out outliers, and protects against price manipulation attacks.

### Q5: What if a validator gets slashed?

Slashing can slightly impact staking yield and vToken value. Bifrost has implemented [slash protection](https://bifrost.io/blog/how-bifrost-secures-your-staked-dot-risk-protection-in-de-fi) mechanisms to reduce user impact.

### Q6: Is Loop Stake audited?

Yes. All contracts have been audited by Oak Security, check the report [here](https://github.com/oak-security/audit-reports/blob/main/Bifrost/2024-03-11%20Audit%20Report%20-%20Bifrost%20Finance%20Leveraged%20Staking%20v1.0.pdf).
