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%

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 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.
