Spotlight
Huge opportunities for yield-enjoyoors right now via our Official Sponsor @vertex_protocol!
Not only is Vertex rewarding liquidity providers, they are also providing substantial yield to $VRTX-stakers - with recent APR’s coming in at over 26% - all paid out in $USDC!
Indeed, as detailed in the thread below, last week $VRTX-stakers were paid out $94,841!
In addition, $VRTX-holders also benefit from Vertex’s buyback and burn program, which compounds the above benefits!
