Polkadot allocates over $14 million in DOT tokens to drive liquidity with Hydration

Hydration, a decentralized finance (DeFi) project within the Polkadot (DOT) ecosystem, has received 2 million DOT tokens, equivalent to $14.4 million, to enhance the liquidity and trading efficiency of its liquidity provisioning platform, Omnipool, according to the information disclosed to Finbold on June 10.

Strengthening Omnipool with native liquidity

The first million DOT will be distributed over a year to attract fresh liquidity to the Polkadot ecosystem, and Liquidity Providers (LPs) can expect initial rewards exceeding 200% APY. 

Hydration’s single-sided LP system enables users to provide a single asset and join an incentives farm, with incentives available for various assets, including native stablecoins.

The remaining tokens will be allocated to the Hydration Omnipool to establish a robust and accessible layer of native liquidity, benefiting the broader Polkadot 2.0 ecosystem. 

New capital complements the existing liquidity of over 690,000 DOT and 560,000 vDOT already present in the Hydration Omnipool.

Jakub Gregus, co-founder of Hydration, emphasized the significance of the new funding, stating:

“This generous allocation from the Polkadot treasury marks a pivotal moment for Hydration. With this welcome injection of liquidity, we are able to significantly deepen our liquidity, which is vital not just for our growth but also for the continued health of the entire Polkadot ecosystem.”

Decentralized, non-custodial management

The funding for the Hydration Omnipool will be managed in a decentralized and non-custodial manner, remaining under the control of the Polkadot Protocol and OpenGov. 

Gregus added:

“The Hydration Omnipool is designed to provide unparalleled efficiency and accessibility in trading crypto-assets, and this support from the Polkadot treasury is a testament to the potential impact of our forward-looking approach.”

The new strategic initiative is thus poised to drive significant advancements in how liquidity is provided and managed within the Polkadot ecosystem.

As the main liquidity protocol on Polkadot, Hydration is thus poised to set a new standard for liquidity solutions in the shared blockchain network.

Crypto Analyst Says Ethereum-Based Altcoin To Go Much Higher, Updates Outlook on Bitcoin and dogwifhat

Image
A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst believes one (DeFi) token in the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem is setting up for a push to higher levels. The analyst pseudonymously known as Credible Crypto tells his 405,200 followers on the social media platform X that the native asset for the stablecoin-focused decentralized exchange Curve DAO (CRV) is “going so much higher” after entities locked a total of 900 million CRV. “That’s nearly one-third of all CRV that will ever exist (3.3 billion maximum supply) and 43% of existing supply. Most will be locked in perpetuity. That means one-third of all the CRV that will ever exist (43% of current total supply) has essentially been ‘burned’ and taken off the market forever.” CRV is trading at $0.281 at time of writing.
