With the successful conclusion of the bbBNC Riders campaign, the Liquid Wave series has officially come to an end, marking a key phase where Bifrost witnessed a strong resonance between community momentum and protocol growth. As Bifrost’s core growth initiative for 2025, Liquid Wave aimed not only to increase asset minting volume, but also to reshape user participation and reinforce the value flywheel. The data from this phase exceeded expectations: vToken minting continued to climb, with vDOT and vBNC serving as dual engines of growth Dapp traffic and user engagement improved significantly, pushing protocol activity to new highs Among all metrics, the performance of bbBNC Riders stood out especially: bbBNC total locked amount reached 14 million BNC vBNC total locked value surpassed 18 million BNC, more than doubling during the campaign BNC buyback reached 1.7 million, with 170,000 BNC burned, reinforcing the buyback-and-burn deflationary effect Participation across different lock durations became more evenly distributed, while long-term locks (12–48 months) continued to rise; APY remained strong at 33%–110%, maintaining high attractiveness for long-term holders. This campaign delivered meaningful growth across metrics and strengthened the long-term foundation of Bifrost’s “revenue-sharing and community-driven vision.” Rewards & WAVE Points Distribution To lower participation barriers and enhance engagement, this phase of Liquid Wave implemented the WAVE points system across social tasks, minting, staking, and other core activities. Token rewards and WAVE points will be distributed as follows: Rewards for bbBNC Riders (vBNC and vDOT) will be sent directly to participants’ wallet addresses in a one-time distribution BNC rewards from the LST Campers and BNC Explorers campaigns will vest linearly over 12 months, with the first distribution to be completed this week WAVE points will be airdropped directly to participating wallet addresses; the conversion rate and timeline for redeeming bbBNC will be announced separately Reward distribution is now underway, and the proposals for releasing incentives are passed. Apply WAVE Incentives From Treasury Issue WAVE in Foundation The bbBNC Story Is Only Just Beginning This campaign encouraged users to shift from “passive holders” to “active participants,” while the value logic behind Fee Switch, Buyback, and bbBNC gained wider visibility and community support. This is the core mission of Liquid Wave: to ensure protocol growth and user benefits are truly aligned. Looking ahead, Bifrost will continue expanding across multi-chain assets. Through transparent revenue distribution, ongoing community co-creation, and sustained on-chain growth, Bifrost aims to solidify its position in the market as the Staking Yield Layer.

Following the adoption of token buyback strategies by leading DeFi protocols such as Sky, Uniswap, and AAVE, the “Buyback” model has rapidly emerged as a major trend in the next generation of protocol revenue frameworks. As the leading liquid staking protocol in the Polkadot ecosystem, Bifrost has generated over $1.37 million in protocol revenue over the past 12 months. On November 1st, Bifrost officially launched bbBNC, marking a bold step into this transformation and introducing a new profit-sharing economic model — one that allows all participants to share in the protocol’s growth and success. bbBNC: The Core of Tokenomics 2.0 bbBNC is the bridge connecting users with the protocol’s profits. The heart of this new tokenomics is the mechanism of locking vBNC (the liquid staking token of BNC) into bbBNC. The longer and larger the amount of vBNC locked, the greater the share of protocol revenue a user can earn. This mechanism grants BNC real “earning rights” and creates a self-reinforcing, positive-sum ecosystem flywheel. bbBNC Riders Campaign is Now Live To help users better understand and participate in the new tokenomics, Bifrost has launched an exciting campaign — bbBNC Riders. By locking vBNC into bbBNC, users can not only share protocol revenue but also join the lucky draw to win WAVE points and vToken rewards. Campaign Duration: November 1, 2025 – December 4, 2025 How to Join bbBNC Riders Lock BNC or vBNC to mint bbBNC. The minimum amount is 50 vBNC, with a minimum lock duration of 3 months. Hold bbBNC to earn lottery chances. Every 10 bbBNC grants 1 lottery entry. For every additional 10 bbBNC, one extra entry is added. There is no limit to the number of entries, and users can participate multiple times per day. Unlock special rewards through the SuperT Pool. Every time your total lottery count reaches a multiple of 100, you’ll qualify for the SuperT Prize Pool, which offers rarer and higher-value vToken rewards. Note: All vToken rewards will be distributed in a week after the campaign ends. 👉 Join the campaign here After the campaign ends, a channel will open for converting WAVE points into bbBNC, allowing users to continue sharing profits. What is bbBNC bbBNC is a Bifrost revenue-sharing representation voucher that enables holders to maximize their yield through $BNC buyback, yield of vBNC, protocol revenue and boosted farming. Users first stake BNC to obtain vBNC, then lock vBNC to mint bbBNC. The more vBNC you lock and the longer the duration, the more bbBNC you receive. Once the lock period ends, bbBNC automatically unlocks back into vBNC. Bifrost protocol revenue will be used to buy back BNC, with 90% of profits distributed to bbBNC holders. The annualized yield of bbBNC depends on multiple factors — the amount and duration of locked vBNC, staking yield from vBNC, and overall protocol revenue. You can view detailed bbBNC statistics on this page Grow with Bifrost The launch of bbBNC marks an important milestone in Bifrost’s roadmap. With the “Buyback + Revenue-Sharing” mechanism now live, Bifrost is reshaping the relationship between protocols and users — toward a fairer, more sustainable model. The bbBNC Riders event is more than a rewards campaign — it represents the first real practice of Bifrost’s new tokenomics. It’s a gateway for users to become stakeholders in the protocol, and the key to unlocking long-term yield potential. If you’re looking for the next DeFi project with a real revenue model, sustainable growth logic, and a clear token value-capture path, now is the time to join the bbBNC Riders 👉 https://wave.bifrost.io/bbbnc

The recent debates around Kaito’s ranking algorithms highlight a growing concern in “Crypto Twitter” (CT): when distribution is determined by opaque models, what gets surfaced isn’t always what’s most valuable. Algorithms can amplify noise and bury insights that matter. This isn’t a new problem, visibility often tracks numbers: likes, retweets, impressions. But meaningful content shouldn’t be defined by algorithmic filters. That’s why we’re launching the Bifrost Creator Program—a system built not on opaque algorithms or leaderboard mechanics, but on something simpler: human curation. Every post and every comment is reviewed directly, ensuring recognition is based on insight, not just visibility. What does it mean for content to be “good”? What makes content “good” is not only about popularity or reach, but whether it delivers something original, relevant, and useful to the community. To assess this, we’ve built a framework based on four key dimensions. InfoGain Crypto is full of noise. Real value comes from creators who bring new information or fresh perspective. A single data point, a well-researched study, or a clear logical argument—these are contributions that cannot easily be replaced. We reward creators who make readers walk away having learned something new. Plagiarism and low-effort AI spam are strictly prohibited. Presentation Information without clarity loses its power. Well-structured threads, clear logic, or visuals that make complex ideas easy to grasp. Reach & Engagement We will look at reach, but the quality of engagement matters more than raw impressions. Comments, quote tweets, and thoughtful interactions matter more than passive likes. When industry participants or respected community members engage, it signals broader resonance. Importantly, comments and replies are valued alongside posts—because sometimes the sharpest insights come in just a few words. Every sincere voice deserves recognition, regardless of account size. Consistency One viral moment matters, but ecosystems thrive on steady participation. Ongoing analysis, consistent presence, and repeated contributions are what compound into durable narratives. How to Join Follow @Bifrost and post Bifrost-related content on X, we will collect your works every week If you’re concerned we might miss your post, feel free to submit via this form. Rewards are distributed bi-weekly in BNC, ranging from 100 BNC to 5,000 BNC per entry. Each creator may submit one entry per week. Feedback is Welcome We are not trying to create a closed loop of applause, constructive advice is as valuable as praise. The Creator Program is designed to re-center incentives around content itself—rather than algorithms, rank systems, or follower-driven hierarchies. This approach requires more effort—manual curation, slower iteration—but it also produces cleaner outcomes. In a market saturated with noise, we are looking not for the loudest voices, but for the most meaningful ones. If you can share insights and express them clearly, we welcome you to join our Creator Program.

Polkadot has always had strong cross-chain infrastructure at its core. But for years, one thing has been missing: a way to connect DOT and its ecosystem to the DeFi users. While many Layer1 tokens have gone multichain through centralized or semi-centralized bridges, DOT — the base asset of the Polkadot network — has remained mostly siloed. As a result, its potential as a truly interoperable asset has been underutilized. That’s about to change. With the launch of Hyperbridge, a fully decentralized and permissionless protocol built by the Polkadot community, we finally have a native bridge to the outside world. To kick off this new era of connectivity, Bifrost has partnered with Hyperbridge to launch DeFi Singularity, a 12-month cross-chain liquidity incentive campaign, distributing 795,000 DOT in rewards to support the usage and adoption of both DOT and vDOT across major DeFi ecosystems. Highlights This campaign focuses on two key assets: DOT – the native token of Polkadot vDOT – a liquid staking token issued by Bifrost The goal is simple: bootstrap deep, usable liquidity for DOT and vDOT on top-tier DEXs across major L1 and L2 ecosystems, starting with DOT/ETH and vDOT/ETH pairs. The more accessible DOT becomes across DeFi, the easier it is for users to stake, move, and use it without compromise. Why vDOT? In traditional staking, you have to choose between earning rewards and using your assets. vDOT was designed to solve this problem — allowing users to earn staking rewards from DOT while maintaining flexibility to participate in various on-chain DeFi activities. To date, over 19 million DOT have been minted to vDOT, making it the most widely adopted liquid staking token in the Polkadot ecosystem. Now, with Hyperbridge unlocking access between Polkadot and leading ecosystems, vDOT is evolving into a “multi-chain yield-bearing asset”. vDOT Incentive Campaign Overview The first phase of the vDOT liquidity incentive campaign runs from July 25 to October 21, 2025, with a total of 13,896 vDOT (approximately $90,000) allocated as rewards. The liquidity incentives have been deployed across four high-activity ecosystems: Arbitrum Base BNB Chain Ethereum Mainnet These networks represent some of the most active hubs in DeFi today, and by strategically distributing vDOT incentives across them, Polkadot-native assets are being brought directly to where liquidity, users, and real DeFi activity are already happening. How to Join the DeFi Singularity Campaign Whether you’re already holding DOT or just getting started, here’s how to participate: Option 1: Cross-chain route Withdraw DOT from your CEX to a Polkadot wallet (e.g., NovaWallet, SubWallet, or Talisman) Bridge DOT to the Bifrost parachain via the Bifrost DApp, then mint vDOT Bridge vDOT to your preferred chain: Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum, or BNB Chain via Hyperbridge or Bifrost Dapp (Note: BNB Chain currently supports inbound transfers only) Add liquidity to the Uniswap V4 vDOT/ETH 0.3% pool → Choose your preferred price range and liquidity ratio → Only active liquidity (within price range) earns rewards Once your LP is live, you’re farming! Merkl takes snapshots every 2 hours, and you can view & claim rewards here: https://app.merkl.xyz/users/ Option 2: Simple entry Buy vDOT + ETH directly on Uniswap (note: slippage may be higher due to limited liquidity) Add liquidity to the Uniswap V4 vDOT/ETH 0.3% pool Done — Merkl tracks your LP position and distributes rewards automatically. View & claim here: https://app.merkl.xyz/users/ vDOT incentives are distributed based on LP share and pool TVL. As more users join, yields will normalize. So if you want to capture the highest APY, now’s the time to act. More details, pool links, and tutorials available here: https://defisingularity.com/explore Polkadot DeFi is Booming 2020’s DeFi Summer birthed an era of tokens and protocols that defined a generation. Now, with Hyperbridge live and DeFi Singularity underway, vDOT is stepping out of Polkadot and into the broader DeFi multiverse. Omnichain staking is no longer just a concept. It’s happening — and Bifrost is leading the way. Let your DOT do more and grow with Polkadot DeFi.

The month-long BNC Explorers campaign has successfully concluded – six days before the campaign’s official end, as participants had achieved this boosted goal of 3.5 million BNC minted. BNC Explorers was the second phase of Bifrost’s Liquid Wave Campaign, following the migration of vBNC from Bifrost-Kusama to Bifrost-Polkadot. By inviting the community to mint vBNC (a liquid staking token of BNC), the campaign boosted BNC staking participation. It directly aligned with the goals of Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0, a forthcoming revenue-sharing model (“Fee Switch”) that will reward BNC stakers with protocol profits. The community’s response exceeded expectations. The initial goal of minting 2,700,000 BNC was reached in just 10 days, followed by an additional 800,000 BNC target that was also completed ahead of schedule. Driven by the campaign’s momentum, the total vBNC minting volume soared to a record-breaking 11,800,000. Key metrics from the campaign highlight unprecedented engagement: 1,251 unique visitors in total with 61.5% being new users; 1,647,000 BNC minted by new addresses; 25,705 interactions and 226 minting addresses A Bridge to Tokenomics 2.0 and bbBNC The BNC Explorers campaign served as a bridge to Bifrost’s upcoming Tokenomics 2.0 and bbBNC. Through minting vBNC, users experienced firsthand the advantages of liquid staking tokens: enhanced capital efficiency, flexible trading scenarios, and a preview of the Fee Switch mechanism—a profit-sharing model that will directly distribute protocol-generated revenue to bbBNC holders. This creates a “deeper engagement, direct rewards” flywheel, aligning incentives between users and the ecosystem. BNC Explorers not only hit its targets but also energized the community, generating buzz as users rallied to push the boundaries of liquid staking. This success holds strategic significance for Bifrost: it validates the upcoming Tokenomics 2.0 and Fee Switch by proving that users are eager to participate in a profit-sharing model. With phase two complete, Bifrost is now poised to launch the final phase (bbBNC Riders) and roll out the Tokenomics 2.0 upgrade. Build for Future As Bifrost gears up for the next phase—bbBNC Riders—the momentum and community enthusiasm generated during BNC Explorers will continue to drive engagement and adoption. With the introduction of Tokenomics 2.0 and bbBNC, Bifrost is positioned to set new standards in decentralized finance, supported by a vibrant community committed to exploring the full potential of liquid staking.
