• 1️⃣ vDOT Base staking rewards (7d): 13.57%
• 2️⃣ vDOT on Hydration Liquid Boost: 13.79%
• 3️⃣ vDOT 28-Day Staking Reward subsidy: 11%

This is an incredible chance to significantly boost your earnings 💪. Don’t miss out on this opportunity—join us and start maximizing your rewards!

Subsidy Program Rules

• Subsidy Period: From November 19, 2024 (when Polkadot's inflation reduction starts) to December 31, 2024.
• Eligibility: If you unbond DOT from nomination pools or classic staking during the program period, you qualify for the subsidy! You just need to mint $vDOT (not swapping) once your DOT are unbonded, minting vDOT in January will qualify.
• How It Works: Unbond DOT from classic staking or nomination pools AND liquid stake (mint) it as $vDOT on Bifrost. We’ll fully subsidize the staking rewards lost during the 28-day unbonding period!
• Settlement: This subsidy reward will be settled in DOT.
• The final interpretation rights of the subsidy program belong to Bifrost.

Rewards Snapshot

• 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 Nov 19th UTC.
• 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 January 31, 2025.

Welcome Unbonded DOT to Bifrost! 🌈

We encourage users unbonding their DOT to bring it to Bifrost for liquid staking! Enjoy the benefits of staking while maintaining liquidity. Let’s make the most of this opportunity together!
