Updates & Announcements

LGO Omni-chain features

The long awaited Omni-chain LGO features launch this week, on Wednesday August 23rd. These features will allow users to Bridge LGO across BNB Chain and Abritrum, as well as allowing users to stake and redeem LGO on either chain.

Omni-chain Staking allows users to stake for yield from any chains. Staking will be epoch-based, users will stake for 7 days and receive all yield at the end of the epoch.

All users are required to manually migrate to the new Omni-chain staking contract, instructions will be found on the Staking page once the feature goes live.

LEVEL 2.0

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

Period: August 9th - August 16th

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

Keep your eyes out for the next LEVEL 2.0 proposal, coming soon.

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.

Platform Metrics & Stats

BNB Chain & Arbitrum

Market Watch

The past week saw significant turmoil in the crypto sector, with Bitcoin plummeting by roughly 11.2% to around $26.2k, marking its steepest dive since November 2022. This decline was influenced by factors like rumours of SpaceX's decrease of its Bitcoin holdings and Chinese real estate titan Evergrande's U.S. bankruptcy filing. Concurrently, the burgeoning U.S. treasury yields divert investments from riskier assets, including crypto. Innovatively, PayPal introduced its Ethereum-based stablecoin, PayPal USD (PYUSD), while gaming powerhouse Zynga announced its foray into blockchain gaming with "Sugartown."
