UPDATES

Our devs have been working on a listicle of all the yield farms on Dotsama for some time and the alpha version is finally here!
With YieldBay List, we aim to help you find the best yield farms in one place.
This initial release supports Solarbeam farms on Moonriver and Stellaswap farms on Moonbeam. We’ll be adding more DEXes and parachains every week.
Check it out at list.yieldbay.io.
WARP is in beta now. It can be accessed by anyone. You don’t need to be a Bay Map holder to use it. Thank you everyone for providing suggestions and reporting bugs during the alpha phase.
WARP allows users to add liquidity (or withdraw liquidity) in only one transaction to a Solarbeam Liquidity Pool in a token of user’s choice.

IADS V0 is being proposed to launch as a new approach to providing liquidity into stableswap protocols like Taiga protocol. IADS will directly generate aUSD to be deposited into the Taiga 3-pool to improve liquidity efficiency and aid with keeping aUSD pegged to $1. This aUSD minted by IADS will be backed by 3USD, the LP token from the USDT-USDC-aUSD 3-pool.

Migration of HydraDX from solo-chain towards a Polkadot parachain is now complete. Since they are no longer producing any blocks on Snakenet, it is safe for all validators to stop validating and to shut down their nodes.
