This program was focusing on motivating the users who provided liquidities for platform tokens and crypto Index assets, our objective is to allow users to better understand and be familiar with MatrixETF products, in order to improve the utilities and branding of MatrixETF. In this period, thousands of users were actively participating in Farming & Staking, APR ranged between 141%-799%, Total Value Locked has been up to $500,000! All the participants have benefited from the rich return.

Even through the first Liquidity Mining Program has ended, for keep incentivizing community users and token holders, MatrixETF will start over The Secondary Liquidity Mining Program, which will be executed monthly and include 2 methods:

Notice: please mind your own risks when you participate in Liquidity Mining/Staking:

  • Mind the impermanent loss by Token price fluctuation when you provide liquidity on trading pairs.
  • Mind the Premium/Discount risk of fund net value when you mint an ETF to the basket Token price fluctuation.
  • Mind the slippage risk caused by lack of liquidities on MDF and MDI/MSI trading pairs.
  • Mind the smart contract risk even MatrixETF Farming/Staking function has passed audits by Certik and Quillhash.

What is impermanent loss? CoinMarketCap defines impermanent loss as “the temporary loss of funds occasionally experienced by liquidity providers because of volatility in a trading pair.” To put this into perspective, if you are holding an LP token, and one of the assets depreciates in value in the short term, but gradually returns to the original price, then you would have lost value “impermanently.” Alternatively, if the same asset appreciated in value before reverting to the mean, you would have had “impermanent gains.” These metrics can help liquidity providers balance their portfolios for optimal ratios. For instance, if you think a token will appreciate, and then revert to the mean, you might provide liquidity before it appreciates, just to accumulate the fees for that duration.
