Cross-chain Farming V2
What Symbiosis cross-chain farming is and how to get rewards with the Cross-chain farming program for providing liquidity.
Symbiosis protocol V2 owns an AMM multi-stablecoin liquidity pool to implement cross-chain operations.
Once you supply liquidity to this liquidity pool, you get rewards* from Symbiosis every week as long as your liquidity stays in the pool.
If your liquidity stays in the Symbiosis liquidity pool and you have joined the veSIS reward program as well, you get Boosted APR instead of Base APR.
When you withdraw your liquidity, you get your assets back and your share of the liquidity provider fees.
The liquidity provider fees are charged for all swaps performed on the AMM pool. The fees taken during trades are added to the total liquidity of the pool. When a liquidity provider withdraws their assets from the pool, they also receive a proportional share of all fees collected since the liquidity was first added. This mechanism is a part of the AMM pool protocol. The main points here:
- You get rewards once: when you withdraw liquidity,
- The rewards are in the tokens of the pool,
- The reward amount depends on the trading activity in the pool and is hard to predict.
Symbiosis provides a cross-chain farming program to reward its liquidity providers additionally. The main points of the program:
- You get rewards every week as long as your liquidity stays in the pool,
- The rewards are in SIS tokens, the Symbiosis protocol token. For more information about the token (rates, Tokenomics, etc.), please refer to SIS Token.
- The reward amount is predictable,
- Liquidity providers can withdraw assets at any time,
Cross-chain farming V2 is a part of Symbiosis protocol V2. The service:
- 1.Recalculates APRs of the Symbiosis liquidity pool,
- 2.Monitors adding/withdrawing liquidity to/from the Symbiosis liquidity pool,
- 3.Calculates and accrues rewards to liquidity providers (once a week),
- 4.Tracks reward withdrawal.
APRs of the Symbiosis V2 liquidity pool are calculated and charged in SIS tokens.
For every stablecoin in this pool, there are two APR values:
- Base APR shows the estimated annual rate for providing liquidity.
- Boosted APR shows the estimated annual rate for liquidity providers who have veSIS tokens. The threshold for Boosted APR is 2,500 veSIS tokens. For more information on veSIS refer to this guide: veSIS reward program.
Rewards are calculated and accrued once a week and added to the personal rewards balances of liquidity providers. A portion of the rewards are immediately available for withdrawal; another portion is withheld and becomes partially available for withdrawal and can be claimed in full at the end of the vesting period.
- The vesting period is 26 weeks (approximately half a year) for rewards earned prior to March 2, 2023. The vesting period is 8 weeks (approximately two months) for rewards earned on or after March 2, 2023.
- The portion of the rewards that is immediately vested is 30%.
- The vesting portion of the rewards (the part of rewards held aside becomes available for claiming partly and can be claimed in full at the end of the vesting period) is 70%.
Let's consider an example. A user added 10 tokens to a liquidity pool, kept them there for one week, and then withdrew the tokens. Let's assume that the reward for one week of providing this amount of tokens in this pool is 1 SIS. Let's assume that the user does not claim rewards partly when they become available for claiming. Then (it's for the half a year vesting term):
- 1st week: 0.3 SIS is available for claiming, and 0.7 SIS is held aside,
- 2nd week: (0.3 + 0.7/26) SIS is available for claiming, and (0.7 - 0.7/26) SIS is held aside,
- 3d week: (0.3 + (0.7/26) * 2) SIS is available for claiming, and (0.7 - (0.7/26) * 2) SIS is held aside,
- ......
- 26th week: (0.3 + (0.7/26) * 26) SIS is available for claiming, and (0.7 - (0.7/26) * 26) SIS is held aside -> 1 SIS is available for claiming, and 0 SIS is held aside.
Symbiosis does not charge compound interest on rewards that are not claimed.
Symbiosis starts paying rewards automatically once you supply assets to the Symbiosis liquidity pool.
