Hi, that's Crypto Cornerstones Weekly! From pun-tastic commentary to serious analysis, I'll share all the fascinating things I encounter on my crypto journey this week. Join me as we explore the exciting world of DeFi. Let’s answer these questions and a lot more:Why I’m Locking 5K Vara for 4yrs?Why I’m Redirecting my Equilibre Rewards on Mare Finance?How much are you gonna receive from the ChronosFi Airdrop?When the VE (3,3) Grand Tour will start? Soon, share here the VE(3,3) you like the most: HEREVelocore? How is going on there? I’m now an Ambassador 🧡 (PS) If other great projects want me as an Ambassador, my DMs are open 😂KAVA - ÉQUILIBRE NEWS & INCENTIVE PROGRAMKAVA - MARE FINANCEKAVA - PINJAM TESTNETZKSYNC - VELOCORE POAP EVENT COMPLETION & LAUNCHPAD ANNOUNCEDARBITRUM - CHRONOS AIRDROP PARTNERSAnother fantastic Epoch for Équilibre, Total Bribe: $135K & Became the 5th on the Ve(3,3) War Dashboard.Is a two-month initiative, spanning over 8 epochs.It will begin on Epoch 6 (April 13) so the first rewards will be delivered in Epoch 7 (April 20).Équilibre currently holds 81,000 KAVA in its treasury. During the first month (April) of KAVA Rise, Équilibre obtained 73,000 KAVA and aims to acquire another 73,000 KAVA in May.85% of KAVA Rise will be distributed on the platform.In total, Équilibre will distribute 205,000 KAVA over 2 months (8 Epochs) among all dapp users, with 25,500 KAVA distributed weekly.🧡 USERS REWARDS | SMALL WALLETS - LARGE WALLETS The amount during the first epoch that the plan is carried out will be 300 veVARA, the next one 350, the third one 400, and so on until reaching 650 veVARA in epoch 8.Locking veVara requires locking a new Vara during the epoch. i.e. obtaining Vara in the open market and locking a new position or increasing the position of an existing VeNFT. (Increasing the lockout time will not be eligible)The airdrop is unique to users. No project partners’ treasuries will receive any wKAVA from this distribution.To be eligible for rewards, only the current epoch is taken into consideration. (Previous lockages do not carry over or count toward eligibility)The distributions are independent. Being eligible for the large distribution precludes you from being qualified for the small distribution.Distributions will be done around 48h after epoch flips.Great Epoch also for Mare Finance, from now on, $KAVA coming from the Kavarise program will be distributed to $MARE stakers every Wednesday, alongside $VARA.

They received applications from various projects, from DeFi to exchanges, games, wallets, and utilities. Their criteria for selection were as follows:Does the project have a strong synergy with Velocore and can it continuously increase the value of Velocore?Can the project utilize its LP and activate trading while maintaining a long-term partnership that attracts more users?Does the project have a solid design, tokenomics, and contract structure, and can it collaborate with Velocore on KYC?Can a portion of the raised amount or tokenomics be used for the VC community, and how feasible is that?Considering these factors, Velocore is excited to introduce ReactorFusion as their first launchpad project.ReactorFusion is a DeFi project with a focus on lending services. Lending services have a tendency to become dominant on the chain once they gain an advantage, as TVL is difficult to decrease and funds continue to flow into the highest TVL products due to the fear of illiquidity. Just like a bank, ReactorFusion generates a stable, consistent, and relatively high real yield through interest rate margins. The platform automatically buys back most of these profits through the Velocore DEX and distributes them to users. While ReactorFusion focuses on lending and aligning incentives with Velocore, Velocore can concentrate on improving its core AMM source by applying PMM and Balancer concepts. This will result in lower gas fees and less slippage, ultimately helping Velocore become the #1 DEX. They have conducted multiple calls with ReactorFusion and promised continuous cooperation, from lending to leveraged farming. The overflow farming model has undoubtedly solved fairness issues inherent to the original overflow method and received positive responses. The importance of a reliable IDO platform and a fair method of providing opportunities to participants has become increasingly apparent, especially in light of recent incidents involving IDOs and multiple projects on zksync Era. And they’re introducing another innovative model and VC buyback plan. Boosted Farming FDV Method Target raise amount: 500 ETH Boosted Farming: $RF tokens from the farming pool will be added as rewards during the sale. (The earlier you commit, the more you’ll earn with your ETH) POAP holders get Boosted farming multipliers will be applied to POAP holders!Astral Newbies: +10%Interstellar Trendsetters: +10%Galactic Virtuosos: +10%Cosmic Legends: +30%For example, if you committed 10 ETH and have all four tickets, you’ll receive a 60% booster, which means you’ll earn the farming share as if you were farming with 16 ETH. The price discovery period starts after reaching the target raise amount.Like they did when Velocore launched, 37% of the funds raised will be immediately added as liquidity and locked up in Velocore.3% of the raised amount will be used to buy back $VC or create a syrup pool.To prevent flash arbitrage attacks, this will take place at a random time within one week after the sale ends. All IDOs are planned to grow alongside the Velocore community, and they also intend to provide full support and voting for the RF community. The sale is scheduled for sometime next week and will run for 48 hours. Additionally, as they are preparing for the Passport Launch, which will be free for presale participants, they are also planning a new event for those who missed the chance to receive theirs yet or for those aiming for the next tier. Velocore has announced a grand trade mining event until the end of its launchpad, sponsored by ReactorFusion. The event will reward traders and liquidity providers with both 250,000 $RF tokens and a special ReactorFusion POAP. To participate in this exclusive event, all you need to do is trade or add liquidity on Velocore, just as you did during their launch. In return, you’ll receive a share of the 250,000 $RF token pool and a one-of-a-kind ReactorFusion POAP as a keepsake. The pairs included are ETH-USDC and VC-ETH. $RF will be distributed proportionally to your trading volume. For example, if the total volume of the participants is 500 ETH and yours is 5 ETH, you’ll receive 1% of the total rewards. The top 100 participants will be eligible to claim a unique ReactorFusion POAP and ReactorFusion may announce special rewards for POAP holders. To prevent account spamming, you must trade at least 0.1 ETH. Mined $RF will be claimable a week after launching.IN SHORT:LAUNCH PRICE: $0.35 / CHREQUALIZER USERS: WHO LOCK 50+ $EQUAL FROM 3 TO 14 APRIL GET A SHARE OF 410,714 $veCHREQUILIBRE USERS: WHO LOCK 1500+ $VARA (MAX DURATION LOCK = 4yrs) FROM 7 TO 18 APRIL GET A SHARE OF 160,000 $veCHRSPHEREDEFI USERS: WHO ARE ON THE TOP 200 ylSPHERE LOCKERS FROM 31 of MARCH TO 16 GET A SHARE OF 120,000 $veCHRSOLISNAKE USERS: WHO LOCK 5000+ $SNEK (MAX DURATION LOCK = 4yrs) FROM 13 TO 19 APRIL GET A SHARE OF 100,000 $veCHRTAROT USERS: USERS WHO JOIN THE TAROT DAO ON SNAPSHOT AND VOTE ON TCM-003THENA USERS: USERS WHO LOCK 750+ $THE FROM 12 TO 19 APRIL GET A SHARE OF 300,000 $veCHRTO SEE ALL OF THEM YOU CAN REFER TO MY THREAD: https://twitter.com/OxFrancesco_/status/1644612284877086721
