👋Hey Buffer Fam,

Many of you've been curious about the mechanics around the esBFR token.

Here’s a quick explainer🧵👇

📋What is esBFR?
✔️Escrowed BFR or esBFR lies at the center of Buffer's escrow system.
✔️It is a non-transferable reward token emitted to BFR stakers & BLP stakers
(Minted on adding liquidity to USDC vault) 

📋Yield accrual:
With esBFR, users can:
✅COMPOUND:
- stake esBFR to earn rewards (fees + esBFR). Staking esBFR entitles you to the same rewards as you would have earned by staking BFR.
✅CLAIM:
- Withdraw esBFR to your wallet, which can then be vested to BFR over 365 days by depositing the claimed esBFRs into the vesting vault.

📋Vesting details:
✔️Through vesting, escrowed BFR (esBFR) tokens can be converted into BFR tokens, accessed via vesting vault on https://app.buffer.finance/ARBITRUM/earn
✔️To vest, users must put some BLP or BFR tokens to reserve that were used to earn the rewards.
✔️While esBFR are vesting, reserved tokens cannot be un-staked, but they still keep earning the rewards
✔️To unstake reserved BLP or BFR tokens, you need to first withdraw them from the vesting vault. It also sends unvested esBFR tokens and vested BFR tokens to your wallet
✔️Vested BFR can be claimed anytime during the vesting period, and new esBFR can be added to the vesting vault 
✔️If you don't have enough staked BLP or BFR tokens to vest your esBFR tokens, you might have to buy BFR tokens or add liquidity to the USDC vault and mint BLP tokens.

You can find the record of that👉 Here!

The updated $BFR tokenomics and release schedule will be shared once the final migration is over.

🔈Everyone!

Trading and emissions for $BLP stakers has been stopped for now!

We are seeing a lot of Panic among liquidity providers with the volatility in BLP exchange rate. Although trading revenue has been surging we have decided to halt trading right now and shift to protocol owned liquidity and distribute 70% of the collected revenue to BLP holders (details of the snapshot and mechanism will be released in a few hours)

Thanks for being an early adopter we plan to resume trading with POL in a few days or so. And meanwhile increase USDC emissions for $BFR stakers as well.

Thanks again for the patience!

@everyone here's the list of all liquidity providers who added liquidity to the USDC vaults

1. LPs who exited at a higher exchange rate made a total gain of 1,130.29 USDC
2. LPs who exited or are holding liquidity at an exchange rate less that at which they entered made a loss of (116,063.20) USDC
3. The BLP has received 65,879.00 USDC in Revenue which is 56.7% to cover up the LPs who are at loss.
4. Remaining PnL will be filled with the esBFR bonus (Which was anyways part of the APY)

You can check individual wallet addresses with their PnL using the below link
👉 https://bit.ly/3VXy4hx

Honestly, we think revenue could have taken care of the BLP exchange volatility, and hence the APY was high. But there might be some communication gap from the side of the team and the liquidity provider started panicking + It's a mainnet BETA so we decided to tweak trade size, and max-utilization based on the week's trading data; nonetheless; we will move to POL and restart trading in next 24 hours - we will be updating how the new POL will look like and what benefits it brings to $BFR holders in a few hours.

@everyone

Revenue distribution details have been updated in the revenue distribution Tab. esBFR compensation has been frozen at $0.29 which is VWAP based on 4h price candles since the time $BFR has been listed on Uniswap Arbitrum.

It has both USDC and esBFR amounts to be sent to the holders who are at loss because of BLP volatility.
👉 https://bit.ly/3VXy4hx

Both USDC and esBFR will be sent to your wallet - you can visit the earn page to vest or stake your esBFR tokens
https://app.buffer.finance/ARBITRUM/earn

We will make another announcement when the distribution is complete thanks for keeping patience - stay tuned! for POL and Trading updates.

USDC and esBFR are now complete! POL details coming next
