πŸ”ˆEveryone!

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
πŸ‘‰ 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.
πŸ‘‰ 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

@everyone , apologies for the delayed response, and thanks for keeping patience.

We have been looking into all our price feeds and how the trades were executed which caused the BLP pool of both USDC and ARB to fall suddenly by 2% to 4% respectively. Based on the community discussion we have decided to take the following things.

1. Change minimum trade time frame to 15 mins (Implemented in contracts will take some time to reflect on frontend) - This seems to be not an issue but we decided to do it because everyone is concerned about it.

2. Minimum trade size is changed to 25 (USDC/ARB) and max OI of the pool across all pairs is kept at 1000 (USDC/ARB)

3. Auto cut-off Trading if BLP (Both USDC or ARB) losses more than 5000 to traders from the current balance

Regarding data and 1 min trading - 100% of the data is open and available to be analyzed most of it accessible through the dashboard and stats page. We will also release data for real-time tracking of all trades and the Dune analytics dashboard (subject to availability of Dev's time) - We are open if anyone wants to work on them independently.

BLP compensation - we will be airdropping USDC and ARB to BLP holders who have faced losses due to the trading activity that seems to be price manipulation. Would advise any LP who doesn't want to take the risk to withdraw funds. We have always compensated for the loss caused due to any technical errors and would continue to do so.

Way forward - Our longer goal is always to shift to 3rd party price oracles like Pyth and chainlink low latency solutions. But during the time we launched they were not fully developed and to get to market we decided to run our Oracles which seemingly worked most times but faced issues during low volume/holiday days.

We have also accelerated our V3 development and have also worked out an interim solution to transition from the current phase to V3 without halting trading or putting LPs at unreasonable risk. Details of the plan will be announced soon.

About short-term trading Would like to re-iterate that 1 min of trading doesn't seem to be a problem but if that's what everyone wants we have decided to stop it for now.

We have high conviction that the next wave of adoption for blockchain will come through simplified and gamified products and we will continue building towards that vision.
