Key Takeaways
Manta Network’s Incentive Campaign
- Lucrative Yields: Manta Network, a Layer 2 platform, offers users the opportunity to lock their tokens for 69 days and receive attractive yields and $MANTA tokens. The platform has a total value locked (TVL) of approximately $50 million, which is significantly lower than its competitors, suggesting it is underfarmed.
Seamless Protocol’s Rapid Growth
- Significant Traction: Seamless Protocol, an Aave V3 fork, has gained significant traction after being listed on Coinbase. Its TVL spiked to over $80 million within a few days. The platform’s lending/borrowing market yields are currently boosted with token emissions, offering depositors high yields.
Mux Protocol’s High Yields
- High Yields for LPs: Mux Protocol continues to offer one of the most lucrative places to earn a real yield. With the ARB STIP incentives for trader rebates, MUX volume has been soaring, leading to extremely high yields for liquidity providers (LPs). Users can earn a 61% APR paid in ETH and MUX tokens.
Pendle’s Consistent Performance
- Consistent Yields: Pendle, a yield trading protocol, has consistently been a favorite place to farm yields. Its TVL continues to rise, and there are hints of a V3 upgrade. ARB incentives are still live on Pendle, offering lucrative yields on various assets.
Trader Joe’s Efficient AMM
- High-Performing Metrics: Trader Joe, a hyper-efficient automated market maker (AMM) based on the Liquidity Book protocol, has been performing extremely well with the ARB STIP incentives and Avalanche’s recent revival. The platform offers several pairs to farm with attractive APRs.
