Updates & Announcements

LEVEL 2.0

With the Level 1.5 upgrades, we successfully achieved a number of significant milestones in line with our goal of becoming an omnichain protocol. To that end, we expanded to Arbitrum, launched omnichain referrals and staking, announced a new strategic investor with a total commitment of $20M, exceeded over $20B in protocol volume, and released improved dashboard visualization tools.

The team continues to push forward with execution and design improvements with the ultimate goal of having the best omnichain liquidity marketplace user experience in all of DeFi.

The immediate next step is LEVEL 2.0, where our target will mainly focus on improving LVL reward design and incentive alignment. A summary for LEVEL 2.0 can be seen in our roadmap below (roadmap subject to change).

Similar to the LEVEL 1.5 upgrade, we aim to release LEVEL 2.0 in a three-part implementation, starting with part 1.

“Part 1: A Closer Bond with LVL” was published today (August 14th) and can be viewed here.

LEVEL 2.0 ROADMAP

A fully detailed article surrounding LEVEL 2.0 in its entirety will be released in due course.

Weekly LVL Burn

Omni-chain Referral Program

Users are now able to track their progress with the referral tiers, and easily see how much in fees their traders are generating, along with how much LVL they are passively earning.

To support the organic growth of LEVEL, Users are now also able to apply for the WHITELIST. This Whitelist allows referrers to access higher rebate and discount rates than basic referrers. This feature has been introduced to help to reduce the amount of self-referring that typically takes place on Decentralised Exchanges.

To get started with the referral program and start passively earning LVL, follow these instructions:

1. Connect to Level.finance

2. Click “Get Your Referral Link” to generate your own.
   

   

3. Share the link to your friends!

4. Earn up to 12% regular passive LVL from your active traders!

Governance Updates

DAO PROPOSAL: LEVEL 2.0 Part 1 - A Closer Bond with LVL

This proposal introduces LEVEL 2.0, building on previous upgrades to enhance LEVELS goal to become the best omnichain liquidity marketplace in DeFi. This phase aims to improve the LVL reward design, implementing a Bonding Mechanism that awards unvested preLVL tokens instead of direct incentives to traders or liquidity providers.

Users have two options to vest preLVL tokens: Normal vesting requires staking 10 LVL tokens for 1 year to vest 1 preLVL, while Accelerated vesting allows immediate vesting with a 30% USDT tax. The tax will be split evenly between the DAO and the LLP. This proposal represents a strategic move to align incentives more closely with user interests and the platform's broader goals.

Market Watch

Over the past week, BTC’s price increased slightly by 1.5% to around $29.4K, and ETH edged up by 0.9% to $1.9K, while BNB dipped by 1.4% to roughly $240. The U.S. SEC has delayed its decision on ARK 21Shares's spot Bitcoin ETF, extending the matter into a 21-day public commentary period. Meanwhile, PayPal's launch of its stablecoin "PayPal USD" (PYUSD) has ignited discussions, particularly among lawmakers expressing concern over the lack of federal regulations. As the market continues to navigate these changes, focus shifts to key economic indicators and regulatory developments that could influence the future of crypto assets.
