I'm not shilling and I don't give a fuck about the token price. I was about to stake AAVE for 6.2% APR until I saw Bancor offering nearly 14% in their pool. I just don't get it-- why would anyone stake assets anywhere other than Bancor? BNT/GRT offers 35%, nearly 5 times what you can make delegating GRT...which is its only purpose.

So whats the catch?

>> No.30062834

the aprs are too good to be true for a "bluechip", but there are a lot of farms on BSC that will give you APYs of 500-10,000

>> No.30062955

>>30062571
No big catch other than the fact that the APRs on the rewards all assume you leave your funds locked for at least 4 weeks so that the multiplier reaches the max of 2x. Also, the rewards program will taper off and eventually come to an end.

>> No.30063033

>>30062801
you asked for my best fud and I delivered.
The rewards are temporary though but as more liquidity gets attracted into the pool, the higher the actual APR will become.
The catch is that they already fucked up once and people don't trust them as much.

Rewards and fees go into a pool where you choose to claim or stake.
Not sure where tje IL is pulled from. I think from your main stake, so
200 staked earned 25 fee's and rewards
It also has accrued 10 bnt in IL
so i think the system spits out 190 stake and gives you 25 in rewards and fees.

No clue how early losses work.
100 days is the minimum im keeping my stake going.

This seems like a clear win/win but if you are seriously investing in BNT you really need it to pump over the course of the year. If the rewards program doesn't successfully attract liquidity like it's designed to, that's a bad sign for the platform.

As much as I want to just soak up the rewards over the year, in the long run I'm going to make way more money if the platform takes off.

>>30071885
You get the fees, represented in the righthand columns of Fees and APR (based on fees), in the native token meaning LINK in your case.

The protocol mints and burns BNT as needed. I wouldn't call that "out of their pockets" as it's not like the devs are giving their own money for it. LM is inflating BNT, but in return it has bootstrapped pools and we're experiencing exponential growth. The goal is that once pools get going and we pull more volume, fees collected will increase, which means they can start tapering off the rewards and hopefully stop completely at one point. I think the vast majority of BNT holders would agree that so far the merits of the growth as a consequence of LM far outweigh the demerits of the inflation.
