Singapore, Aug. 16, 2022 — Lido Finance, a giant in the Ethereum staking world, will be enhancing liquidity on Polygon with KyberSwap Elastic.

Lido Finance is the largest platform for liquid staking services on Ethereum. Powering decentralized finance (DeFi) and centralized finance applications alike with their technology, Lido Finance empowers stakers to put their staked assets to use on its supported networks: Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and Polkadot.

The first phase of this joint initiative is set to bring liquidity providers over $120,000 in liquidity mining rewards, with more incentives to come in the near future.

What is KyberSwap Elastic?

KyberSwap’s newest protocol, dubbed Elastic, is a tick-based automated market maker that gives liquidity providers (LPs) the advantages of concentrated liquidity and the flexibility to achieve capital efficiency and manage risks.

With concentrated liquidity, LPs have the flexibility to supply liquidity to an Elastic pool, either by concentrating the liquidity to a narrower price range or setting it to a wider price range. Concentrated liquidity would use the pool’s liquidity more efficiently, mimicking much higher levels of liquidity and achieving better slippage, volume and earnings for LPs while a wider range would ensure liquidity for uncorrelated token pairs such as USD Coin (USDC) and Ether (ETH) remaining active even with big price swings during high market volatility.

KyberSwap Elastic also has a reinvestment curve, which compounds fees by automatically reinvesting the fee earnings of LPs back into the liquidity pool so LPs earn higher APY while saving time.

LPs on KyberSwap Elastic can also choose from multiple fee tiers to select the best-suited rates for individuals, taking into consideration factors such as token volatility, individual risk appetites and more. In addition, KyberSwap Elastic comes with a Just-In-Time (JIT) Attack Protection feature, which protects LP earnings from snipe attacks that would reduce the earnings of other honest LPs. So, LPs can earn securely while enjoying peace of mind.

From Aug. 16, 2022, liquidity providers can choose from five stMATIC eligible pools on KyberSwap Elastic to deepen liquidity and earn LDO and KNC rewards.

With KyberSwap’s Elastic protocol, LPs can enjoy benefits such as concentrated liquidity and compounding fees, providing higher capital efficiency and optimized rewards. KyberSwap Elastic also has JIT protection, so LPs will have their earnings better protected and enjoy better peace of mind.

KyberSwap: Benefits for the Lido ecosystem

For traders: 

  • Best swap rates for stMATIC through decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregation while letting users identify other tokens even before they trend or moon via on-chain metrics.

For LPs: 

  • Concentrated liquidity for stMATIC pairs and any other tokens, stables and non-stables
  • Auto-compounded LP fees
  • Bonus liquidity incentives through yield farming
  • Sniping and JIT attack protection to protect earnings for Lido LPs.

For developers:

Decentralized applications can integrate with KyberSwap’s pools and aggregation API to provide the best rates for their own users, saving time and resources.

KyberSwap is proud to partner with Lido Finance in this initiative to enhance liquidity on Polygon for the benefit of all three ecosystems.

KyberSwap will also be working with Lido Finance in its expansion to layer-2 scaling services.
