Both **crypto and forex trading are available**. Along with this launch: * **BLP-enabled trading**, 100K USDC has been added to BLP from POL to increase the max trade size further * **Optopi NFT payout boost** added automatically * More **trading fee rewards** for USDC vault depositors We have also implemented the long awaited **referral system**, **create your affiliate link now**. To make it simple if you **share your link you get a share of the revenue generated by the person you refer**. As for **the affiliate himself, the advantage is in the payout boost he gets when he uses your link**. You can get **more info** [**here**](https://t.co/XJKscurLmC).

There are different rarities and **the rarer yours is the bigger the boost it gives**. Moreover we decided to increase this payout boost, here are the new rates: * 🦈 _Silver_: 2% ↗️ **_2.5%_** * 🐝 _Gold_: 4% ↗️ **_5%_** * πŸ™ _Platinum_: 6% ↗️ **_8%_** * πŸ’Ž Diamond: 10% ↗️ **_12%_** Enjoy the new rates ! ### BLP Pool cap update ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/bbf782d378a875848e4847ba3484a05b8206478224d30583847b99cb71bbc2e8.png) Following our deployment on the mainnet, **we have decided to increase the size of our BLP pool, the ceiling can now exceed 1 million USDC**. We first decided to increase the pool to 1.5 million and finally set the cap at **2 million**.
