Bifrost Discord is the core hub for Bifrost users, builders, and long-term supporters. The community operates on a transparent points system designed to recognize real participation, meaningful contributions, and long-term alignment with the protocol. By completing tasks, engaging with the community, and binding your on-chain assets, you can continuously earn points, unlock roles, and redeem rewards in the Marketplace. Points Overview Bifrost Discord points consist of two components that reflect both long-term alignment and active participation. Balance Points Balance Points are calculated automatically based on your vToken holdings across the Bifrost ecosystem, valued in USDT. Snapshot rules Asset snapshots are taken on the 5th of each month for the previous month. Each user may bind up to 10 wallet addresses. The total balance across all bound addresses will be aggregated. vToken Value (USDT) Monthly Points < 500</td> 0 500 – 999 100 1,000 – 2,999 200 3,000 – 4,999 400 5,000 – 9,999 700 10,000 – 49,999 1,000 50,000 – 99,999 1,800 ≥ 100,000 3,500 Supported assets BNC and LP assets vBNC and LP assets bbBNC vDOT and LP assets on Bifrost and Hydration vMANTA vASTR Task Points Task Points reflect your day-to-day participation and community contributions.

In 2025, Polkadot OpenGov went through a deliberate phase of consolidation. A total of 482 proposals entered voting this year — more than 50% fewer than in 2024. But fewer proposals didn’t mean lower quality. In fact, the average DOT per proposal jumped 50% in November, monthly unique voters stayed stable, and participation clearly spiked during major decisions. When it really mattered, voters showed up. This year also saw a historic decision to set a supply cap for DOT, while the Treasury continued funding infrastructure and ecosystem. Another major proposal Referendum #1827 is live, signaling another upcoming change to staking mechanics. Every major upgrade on Polkadot is decided on-chain through OpenGov, with the community actively shaping each critical moment. The next step for governance is simple — bring more holders into the process. That’s exactly what Bifrost’s vDOT Delegation Voting unlocks: a way for liquid staked DOT holders to finally activate their governance power and participate in OpenGov more easily. vDOT: The First Liquid Staking Token with Native Governance Right Unlike most liquid staking tokens, vDOT preserved DOT’s governance rights from day one. If you hold vDOT, you can already vote directly in Polkadot OpenGov through the Bifrost Dapp — yield, liquidity, and governance are fully integrated. Now, with delegation voting live, governance becomes even more accessible. If you don’t have time to research every proposal, you can simply delegate your voting power to someone you trust and stay involved without extra effort. Governance and Staking Yield, Working Together vDOT delegation follows Polkadot’s native Delegation Voting model, with some important upgrades on Bifrost. Same delegation mechanics as DOT You can delegate your vDOT to any address with a conviction multiplier from 0.1x to 6x. Your voting power scales based on the multiplier you choose. Let’s walk through a simple example: Bob delegates 10 vDOT to Alice with 6x conviction (224-day lock). Alice votes on a proposal using 1 vDOT at 0.1x conviction, voting AYE. Bob’s delegated 10 vDOT automatically follows Alice’s vote with 6x weight, contributing 60 votes in the same direction. During the voting period, Bob can cancel the delegation at any time and regain control immediately. If Bob cancels after voting ends, he’ll need to wait until the 224-day lock expires to unlock. In the current version, delegation applies to all governance tracks by default. Future upgrades will support track-specific delegation, letting users assign different delegates for different topics. Feature DOT Delegation vDOT Delegation Delegate to any address ✅ ✅ Conviction (0.1x–6x) ✅ ✅ Track selection ✅ Default: All tracks Cancel anytime ✅ ✅ BNC-powered governance delegation vDOT also introduces something new: BNC-driven governance via the vDOT Delegation Track (DVT). Users can delegate their vDOT directly to Bifrost OpenGov’s DVT, a dedicated governance track that aggregates all delegated vDOT voting power. On DVT, BNC holders vote to decide how the pooled vDOT votes are cast, creating a cross-asset governance loop where BNC helps steer DOT governance. This effectively links BNC and vDOT inside the governance system and opens up new utility for BNC. Why This Matters Delegation brings new energy into the governance ecosystem. Today, many vDOT holders are already active in DeFi protocols like Hydration while also participating in OpenGov — playing both capital and governance roles. Users naturally fall into two groups: DeFi-focused users who want capital efficiency but don’t have time to track governance. Governance-focused users who understand proposals and are willing to act as representatives. Delegation voting lets DeFi users stay involved without friction, while active participants can build reputation and become trusted voters over time. Most importantly, delegation voting never transfers asset ownership. Whether you delegate to another address or to Bifrost DVT, your vDOT always stays in your own wallet, and you can revoke delegation anytime. If your delegated vDOT participates in a vote, it will follow the chosen conviction lock. If you don’t delegate, your liquidity and redemption flow remain unchanged. This gives users full flexibility to balance governance participation and capital control. Expanding BNC Utility vDOT delegation also reflects a broader goal: lowering the barrier to governance participation. Healthy governance depends on whether users can participate with low cognitive cost. Delegation makes participation easier while allowing governance to evolve toward more structured and accountable representation. At the same time, the DVT model brings BNC directly into the governance engine, creating a shared voting pathway with vDOT and expanding BNC’s long-term utility and narrative. vDOT Delegation FAQ How do I delegate my vDOT? Go to Bifrost Dapp Open vDOT → Governance Click Delegate Voting Enter a delegate address or select DVT Choose your conviction multiplier (0.1x–6x) Sign and confirm What’s the difference between Capital and Vote? Capital: the amount of tokens you hold Vote: your effective voting power = Capital × Conviction Why delegate to Bifrost OpenGov (DVT)? DVT represents the Bifrost community when voting on Polkadot governance proposals. If you’d like your vDOT voting power to be decided collectively by the Bifrost community, DVT is a great option. What happens if someone delegates to me? Any delegated voting power automatically follows your votes. If 10 vDOT are delegated to your address, those votes will follow the same direction and conviction when you vote. Can I cancel delegation? Yes — you can cancel anytime. If voting is still ongoing, you can unlock immediately by updating your vTokenVoting action. If voting has ended, you’ll need to wait for the conviction lock to expire.

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 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. 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. 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: Visit Omni.ls Connect your wallet and select a supported network (Ethereum, Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum) Ensure you have sufficient ETH for staking and gas fees Enter the amount of ETH to stake (minimum 0.001 ETH) Click “Stake” and confirm the transaction 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.
