Getting Based and Boosted

Farm and Earn:

Add liquidity to Kim’s incentivized pools on Base. No complicated setups, just steady rewards that let your assets work harder than you do.

Reward Plugin - Stake and Relax:

Prefer staking over farming? Use the Reward Plugin to park your $xKIM and let the yields roll in while you take a breather. Need a refresher? Read here.

Loading up $xKIM on Base

Here’s how to grab the $xKIM you need to unlock plugins and supercharge your rewards:

1. Convert It:

Already holding $KIM on BASE? Flip it into $xKIM on Kim Dashboard.

2. Bridge It:

Got $KIM on Mode? Use Stargate Finance to transfer it to Base:

• Open Stargate, select Mode as the source and Base as the destination.

• Complete the transfer, then convert your $KIM into $xKIM on Base.

3. Earn It:

Add liquidity to incentivized pools on Base or stake $xKIM in the Reward plugin and collect $xKIM as part of the rewards.

With $xKIM in hand, you’re ready to dive into liquidity, stake, and activate plugins to start stacking those rewards.

Get Based and Stay Ahead

Being based isn’t just a vibe—it’s a lifestyle. Kim’s rewards are live, and the yields are flowing faster than Baldilocks can polish their dome. Don’t overthink it—stake, farm, and let your assets hustle harder than Brian Armstrong’s PR team.

Join the conversation on Discord and follow us on Twitter to stay in the loop and keep it based.

Kim’s governance system? It’s about real utility. This isn’t about voting for the sake of decentralization. It’s about shaping the ecosystem. You’re not just holding $xKim; you’re driving its future.

Why Governance Actually Matters: For Degens and Builders Alike

Here’s the deal: real power. If you hold $veKIM, you decide which LPs get the rewards. Whether it’s MODE-ETH, MBTC-WBTC, or whatever other LPs you’ve got your eyes on—your vote makes it happen. No more waiting for someone else to make the decisions.

But this isn’t just for the users—protocols get in on the action too. They can compete for your vote, align with the community, and help drive liquidity across the ecosystem. This is how the community and protocols build something that actually works for everyone.

More votes = More rewards. It’s that simple. And as you stake more, your $veKIM grows. The more you have, the more you control.

What Exactly Is $veKIM?

$veKIM is where the real action happens. When you stake your $xKim or KIM-ETH LP position, you’re converting them into $veKIM or voting power. The longer you stake, the more power you earn. You get to decide what gets incentivized. Whether it’s a pool you love or a new protocol making waves, $veKIM gives you the keys to the kingdom.

It’s more than a token—it’s your way to control the platform’s future. Stake it, grow it, and use it to shape what happens next.

Stake $xKim and ETH-KIM LP for Maximum Influence

Ready to take charge? Here’s how you can supercharge your voting power:

• Stake $xKim: Lock up your $xKim to start growing your voting power. The longer you stake, the more voting power you accumulate. More power means more control over which LPs and protocols thrive on Kim Exchange.

• ETH-KIM via ICHI Vault: Want an easy way to boost your influence further? Use the ETH-KIM ICHI Vault to create your LP position with a single-sided deposit. It’s quick, convenient, and gives you even more voting power to shape the future of Kim Exchange.

And if you’re looking for even more ways to flex your governance muscle, let’s just say… there might be a few surprises in store.

For a closer look, visit our Governance Page to manage your stakes, cast votes, and drive Kim Exchange forward.

The Gauge System: LPs and Incentives, Simplified

Here’s how it works. We’re talking about gauges, not just some complex system you need a PhD to understand.

• LPs as Proposals: LP pairs (like MBTC-WBTC, iUSD-USDC, and many partner protocols LPs) are listed as proposals. $veKIM holders vote on which LPs should be incentivized. The more votes an LP gets, the more rewards it unlocks. It’s community-powered liquidity—if the community loves it, it gets rewarded.

Want to see what’s up for a vote? Check out the Voting Gauge Forum to explore current proposals from partner protocols and weigh in on where incentives should flow.

• More Votes = More Rewards: Simple as that. The more support an LP gets, the more rewards it gets. This is how we ensure that liquidity is driven to the right places—the places you care about.

You get to decide which LPs get the reward. Simple.

Aragon: Fueling Kim’s Governance System

We didn’t just throw a bunch of tech together and hope for the best. We partnered with Aragon OSx, the engine that powers our governance system. Their modular framework allows us to roll out features fast—whether it’s bribe markets, on-chain rewards, or custom voting tools. Aragon’s tech ensures our system stays scalable and flexible, so we can keep up with everything Kim Exchange is about to achieve.

Through Aragon, $veKIM grows your influence, and Kim’s governance is ready for anything. Powerful tech, powerful governance—that’s how we’re shaping the future.

How Kim Governance Works: Clean, Fast, and Efficient

Kim governance isn’t about overcomplicating things. We keep it simple and clean:

• Two-week Cycles: Week 1: Vote. Week 2: Rewards. Simple. Effective.

• 3-Day Warmup and Cooldown: Smooth entry and exit. No chaos.

• Minimal Exit Fee: Just 0.5% to reward commitment and keep things balanced.

It’s governance with real impact—nothing complicated, just straight to the point.

Ready to Run Kim’s Future?

This isn’t your average governance system. With $veKIM, you’re not just voting—you’re calling the shots. You control the rewards, you control the direction, and you control the ecosystem.

Governance is live. The tools are ready. It’s your move.

From tradable kpNFTs to seamless auctions, we’re not just reshaping DeFi; we’re making it effortless.

kpNFTs: Unlock the Full Potential of Your Asset

Gone are the days of locked LP positions sitting idle. With kpNFTs, your LP positions transform into tradable, liquid NFTs that open up a world of possibilities:

Liquidity Without Hassle: Buy and sell positions directly, bypassing the need to create LPs or choose strategies. These positions retain their underlying yield or yield-bearing potential, ensuring that both sellers and buyers benefit from optimized strategies.

Easier Asset Management: kpNFTs let users step into pre-built strategies powered by ALM partners like Gamma, Ichi, and Steer. No micromanagement—just smarter liquidity.

Trade with Flexibility: Adjust or exit your position anytime by trading kpNFTs without disrupting the strategy.

Whether you’re freeing up liquidity mid-lock or diving into a pre-optimized position, kpNFTs make your liquidity as dynamic as you are.

Note: Positions don’t earn market maker rewards while listed but will resume when purchased.

$xKim: The Engine of Kim’s Evolution

At Kim Exchange, $xKim is more than just a x-token— it’s the backbone of everything we’re building. With every new feature, $xKim grows stronger, and the launch of the NFT Marketplace Plugin is no exception.

Here’s how it works: staking $xKim in the Marketplace Plugin unlocks exclusive access to kpNFT trading, optimized liquidity strategies, and the full range of marketplace benefits. And with governance coming soon, $xKim holders will soon shape the direction of Kim Exchange itself.

But it doesn’t stop there—50% of the fees collected from the NFT Marketplace will go directly toward Reward Plugin incentives, further enhancing $xKim’s utility and staking rewards.

Staking $xKim isn’t just holding—it’s taking control.

Seamless Integration Across the OP Superchain

Kim’s NFT Marketplace isn’t just another trading hub—it’s built to enhance the liquidity experience within the OP Superchain. Starting with Mode and Base, the marketplace offers access to liquidity, protocols, and strategies, fostering a cohesive and accessible DeFi ecosystem.

While kpNFTs are traded within their respective chains, the marketplace connects users, dApps, and protocols across the ecosystem by enabling unified access to yield-bearing strategies and liquidity solutions. Mode and Base are just the beginning. As the OP Superchain expands, so will the marketplace, ensuring liquidity and opportunities flow where they’re needed most.

The Tech That Powers It All

Kim’s NFT Marketplace isn’t just another DeFi tool—it’s built to thrive on the OP Superchain, turning liquidity into a force that moves freely and works smarter. Powered by kpNFTs, we’ve transformed LP positions into tradable, dynamic assets. And with the expertise of ALM partners like Gamma, Ichi, and Steer, every position is optimized for efficiency and yield, putting your liquidity to work harder than ever.

The marketplace expands the possibilities of the OP Superchain, starting with Mode and Base. By connecting advanced ALM strategies and collaborating with leading protocols, we’re creating a hub where users and protocols can unlock liquidity and strategies without friction. It’s not about reinventing DeFi—it’s about giving you tools that make it better.

This isn’t just another update. It’s how we grow with the OP Superchain, pushing the boundaries of what liquidity can do.

Built on the OP Superchain and backed by robust security measures, Kim’s NFT Marketplace has undergone a comprehensive audit by Spearbit, ensuring a secure and seamless experience. View the audit here.

Auction Features: Designed for Your Style

Flexibility isn’t just a feature—it’s how we roll. Kim’s NFT Marketplace gives you multiple ways to trade kpNFTs, tailored to your strategy:

English Auctions: Watch the bids climb as the market battles it out.

Dutch Auctions: Start high, drop low, and seal the deal when it feels right.

Buy It Now: Skip the drama and grab what you want instantly.

Buy It Now with Bids: Instant liquidity with room to negotiate like a pro.

1% royalties on each kpNFT transaction, with part of that going back to reward you.

Why Kim’s Marketplace Changes the Game

Liquidity isn’t just about freedom—it’s about power. Kim’s NFT Marketplace doesn’t just give you control; it makes your assets work harder:

Trade Positions, Not Tokens: kpNFTs let you buy or sell fully active LP strategies without the headache of starting from scratch.

Access Ready-Made Strategies: Forget building LPs. Acquire pre-optimized positions crafted by ALM experts.

Earn Smarter: ALM-powered strategies mean your liquidity works overtime, so you can focus on stacking returns, not spreadsheets.

This isn’t just convenience—it’s how you level up. Kim’s Marketplace puts DeFi’s full potential in your hands and makes liquidity your greatest weapon.

The Final Move Is Yours

Kim’s NFT Marketplace is redefining what’s possible with LPs and liquidity. Whether you’re trading kpNFTs, diving into pre-optimized strategies, or simply managing assets smarter, this is where your liquidity works harder.

Mode, Base, and the OP Superchain just got a whole lot more dynamic.

Plug in, trade up, and take control—it’s your move.

ZeroDev’s Global Address technology is a big leap for Kim Exchange. Here’s how it works: Each Global Address is a non-custodial smart contract that routes assets to your desired chain and Kim vault. You send funds to this unique address from any chain, and ZeroDev handles the entire process securely and automatically. It’s as easy as transferring funds to a friend but with a global, cross-chain twist.

Kim x ZeroDev Integration: Borderless Liquidity in One Step

With ZeroDev’s chain-abstracted smart accounts, Kim exchange enables users to bypass traditional bridging, gas fees, and confirmations. Funds sent to a Global Address will automatically land in a selected Kim vault without any extra steps, giving users a smooth, efficient experience. Just choose your vault, send funds from any chain, and watch as your LP position is created in real-time.

Creating a Cross-Chain LP Position on Kim: Step-by-Step Guide

Let’s walk through creating a liquidity position on Kim’s ETH-KIM vault with ZeroDev’s Global Address.

Step 1: Choose Your Vault

Hop into the Kim pools and select ETH-KIM. Look for the “magic wand” icon next to eligible vaults—click on it to begin.

Step 2: Generate Your Global Address

You’ll be taken to ZeroDev’s Global Address page to generate an address unique to your chosen vault. This address will ensure funds are routed and deposited to the vault without a hitch.

Step 3: Verify Eligible Assets & Chains

Before sending assets, do a quick check on the page for eligible assets & source chain—so you know what will work.

Step 4: Send Assets from Any Chain

Now, it’s time to send ETH or WETH from any chain, be it Scroll, Base, Arbitrum—you name it. Send it to your Global Address, and ZeroDev will do the heavy lifting.

Step 5: LP Position Created

Once your ETH hits the Global Address, the ETH-KIM LP position is instantly created in ‘My Positions.’ Easy, borderless, and direct.

The Kim x ZeroDev Advantage

With ZeroDev’s Global Address, you’re now set for seamless liquidity across chains without the usual hassle. Kim exchange and ZeroDev make LP creation borderless, making Kim one of the most accessible liquidity hubs on Mode and beyond.

Or something like that, anyway. It’s a bit cringey because we’re here to go fast and together.

ICYMI, Mode has just launched Season 3 and, together, we’re distributing $2m in $OP rewards to the entire Mode ecosystem.

And we’re doing it together.

Now, we know our APRs were already great but they’re about to level up even further. From some of the most incentivized LPs in web3 to adding more nitrous to, well, Nitro pools, we’ve gotchu.

In fact, we’ve got everything you need to prepare for the golden bulla.

Whatever happens this quarter, we know we can look back on Q3 as an extraordinary quarter for Kim, Mode, and the entire Superchain.

More partnerships than we can shake a digital stick at, a handful of amazing (and, admittedly, sometimes boozy) IRL events, and, of course, more rewards than we can hold (that’s why we gave them all to you guys).

Partnerships and LPs

Okay, there are just so many wins in Q3, that we’ll rattle ‘em off. Think of it like a quick-fire round.

$OP Goes Brrrr

Kim got a cool 111,000 $OP from Optimism’s retro funding round this quarter. Check out the full results here. Since then, we’ve ran campaigns, boosted up incentives, and distributed $OP as rewards to every Tom, Dick, and Harry that got involved with Kim!

Kim is Based

Kim fully launches on Base! And, yes, that includes the launch of the $KIM token on the Base L2. This officially marked Kim’s multichain efforts across the Superchain. And we don’t intend to stop anytime soon.

Routerin’ and Tooterin’

We partnered with Router Protocol to A) bring you a fat stack of rewards and B) enable you to reroute to the best yields in the Superchain (ofc, on Kim) with Router. Check it out.

Charging Particles

Supercharging the power of NFTs, sparking new liquidity pools with wETH <> IONX, and the integration of $KIM into Web3 Packs. Need to know more about our partnership with Charged Particles? Understandable. It’s all here.

Betting on BetMode

GAMBLE AWARE, ANON. But, whether you gamble or not, there’s something to celebrate with Kim’s partnership with BetMode. Yes, there are BetMode points. Yes, you can earn them. Yes, the info is here.

Metrom Mates

With the power of CryptoAlgebra, and of course Kim’s wonderful DeFi powering tech, we partnered with Metrom to enable liquidity mining and more efficient rewards for each and every Kim user.

Scratching the ICHI

Single-sided liquidity? Served in Q3 thanks to yours truly and, of course, ICHI Foundation. A solid number of liquidity pools on Kim can now be served with single sided liquidity.

Layer Zero

$KIM is coming to Ethereum, Base, and Optimism in a flash. How? Through the power of Layer Zero. More flexibility, exposure, and opportunities, for each and every $KIM holder.

LP Launches

Kim in the Material World

As much as messaging our partners, friends, and degen family on Telegram and Discord scratches a certain itch, some things simply cannot be replaced in the digital world.

That’s why the Kim team was out in force IRL across KBW and Token2049.

From Optimistic Beasts to a psychedelic crypto night in Seoul Forest, we came, we saw, we networked, and we continued to build the most rewarding DEX in Web3.

Onward and Upwards

What a quarter, anon. Thank YOU for all the support you’ve provided, for getting involved, and for utilizing the most rewarding DEX in Web3.

We couldn’t do it without you.

And Q4 is set to be bigger than ever.

Strap in. Get ready. Lock in.

Let’s cut to the chase: We love Ethereum. We love the Optimism Superchain. And we love Mode.

In fact, we love it all so much we’re expanding the reach of $KIM.

$KIM: launching on Base, Optimism, and the Ethereum Layer 1.

Here’s the man announcing the big news himself, anon:

More liquidity

Got that $ETH stuck on the base layer and wanna grab a bag of $KIM but don’t wanna hop, skip, and jump over bridges?

Fret no more, anon. With $KIM deployment on Ethereum’s base layer, you’ll be able to grab it directly there. (yes, same for OP & Base, too!).

LayerZero x Stargate: How it All Happens

This omnichain dream has become a reality thanks to our integrations with LayerZero and Stargate Finance. For the uninitiated, LayerZero is the foundation that enables applications (like ours!) to move data seamlessly across blockchains. Think of it as a bridge that allows all these isolated blockchains to talk to each other in their native language, securely and efficiently.

LayerZero has made it possible for us to bring $KIM across multiple ecosystems, leveraging Stargate, a first-of-its-kind fully composable native asset bridge. Stargate allows for the direct transfer of native assets across chains, ensuring a smooth cross-chain liquidity experience for users.

With Stargate, you can now swap $KIM between Ethereum, Optimism, Base, and Mode all in one click. No more bridges, no more headaches—just pure, omnichain liquidity.

Broader Exposure

With $KIM Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) deployment, we’ll be better positioned to form the type of partnerships that best benefit Kim, our token holders, and our community.

In other words, with OFT deployment, we can be, unburdened by what has been.

Increased Flexibility

The Omnichain deployment of $KIM brings increased flexibility to its holders and users - so, that’s um, you guys (we hope!).

HODLers can choose the network that best suits their needs, whether it's the high-speed, low-cost transactions on Optimism and Base, or the established security and extensive dApp ecosystem on Ethereum Layer 1.

This flexibility empowers you to engage with $KIM in a way that aligns with your preferences and requirements, enhancing your overall experience within the Kim ecosystem.

What is $KIM?

The $KIM token is the cornerstone of the Kim ecosystem, soon to be bridged to Optimism, Base, and the Ethereum Layer 1. A significant portion, 30%, of the total $KIM supply is allocated specifically for liquidity incentives within the Kim Protocol.

Token holders have the option to stake $KIM, converting it into $xKIM. By holding $xKIM, users will gain advantages aligned with the protocol's success.

C U SOON

We’ll see you around, anon - whether it’s Mode, Base, OP, or the ETH L1, we’ll be seeing you. That’s for sure.

Join the community over on Discord or add us to your feed on X/Twitter.

• Can’t wrap our heads around the fact providing liquidity requires two tokens (it took me three years, but I’m just the copywriter, not the dev, dw)

• Cannot be bothered to swap something into another token to provide liquidity

If you’ve been looking to scratch that ICHI for providing single sided liquidity on Kim, and thus avoiding the aforementioned physical and mental barriers, then this one is for you, kid.

Today, we integrate ICHI directly into the Kim UI.

What is ICHI?

It’s not a mosquito bite. And it won’t go away if you scratch it.

ICHI has built two protocols using factory contracts; Yield IQ Vaults (auto-liquidity management) and Branded Dollars (stablecoins for any community).

The former of those protocols, Yield IQ Vaults, will be integrated directly into Kim. With just a few clicks you’ll be depositing liquidity with a single asset and, yes, that liquidity will be magically managed by super duper smart contracts.

Yield IQ is a concentrated liquidity provision algorithm that generates compelling returns with a simple and painless user experience. Users deposit a single token and earn passive returns while the algorithm actively accumulates your preferred token and earns fees.

How to Scratch It (Guide)

So, you wanna provide single-sided liquidity, huh? Get a nice slice of those F A T rewards?

You can identify the single-sided ICHI pools on Kim by the ICHI logo and name attached beside the asset pairings.

Head to the Pools section of Kim, use the filter on the right to filter for ICHI pools that support single-sided deposits.

Make sure you’ve got at least one of those assets in the pair, click through, and deposit.

Voila. Easy as that.

Say gm to ICHI

With the ICHI integration, you’ll be able to enjoy the astronomically high APRs you’re used to with Kim, but this time, the only thing you’ll need is a single token (well, you’ll probably do better if you have multiple of the same token but what I’m saying is you just need a single side of the asset pair to provide liquidity here.

Check it out here.

BUT

It’s stuck on some boomer chain, or boring chain, or chain that simply doesn’t match the beautiful yields that Kim can offer on Base and Mode.

Well, we’ve got some hot-dawg, gosh-darn, routerin’ and tooterin’ news for you.

Through the power of Router Protocol’s intent adapter, users can hop, skip, jump, and, um, bridge from 2 dozen+ chains.

Including to Mode & Base.

AND we’ve gone a step further; and integrated Router’s tech directly into Kim - you can bridge and provide liquidity in a couple of clicks from other chains in just a click.

How To

Head on over to Earn -> Positions -> Router. Or click here.

Select the chain you want to provide liquidity from and the asset you want to use.

Enter the amount.

Next, select your desired pool.

Hit “Deposit Liquidity” - Confirm the transactions and sit tight, it’s fast!

Voila. EZPZ, anon. It’s done. You can track your transactions on the right. Liquidity is deposited. Did you deposit > $100? Read on, you could win big.

The $20k Lottery

Anon, quick.

You have until AUGUST ELEVENTH (11!).

To be in with a chance to win a $10k grand prize, with 10 $1k runner up prizes.

All you gotta do is leverage the Router adapter above to bridge and provide at least $100 in liquidity from another chain in Kim.

That’s it. That’s the competition.

Every $100 earns you one entry into the campaign. The more you bridge, the more chances to win.

GG WP Spk Soon

Good luck, anon.

Happy liquidity providing.

Basically, it doesn’t matter how fragmented your assets are anymore. If you wanna use them to provide liquidity on Kim, it’s gonna be easier than ever.

Don’t (just) thank us, thank the folks at Router Protocol for staying in school and not getting stoned 24/7 so they can actually write code (i promise our tech team can, too, but our marketing team cannot).

The Router team has collaborated with Kim on the Kim LP Adapter, take a look at some of the super-duper-smart contracts and how it works below or, if you’re so inclined and you’re smart enough.

The Kim LP Adapter

The Kim Adapter integrates multiple steps into a seamless process:

1. BatchTransaction.sol: Initiate your transaction on the source chain.

2. NitroAdapter.sol: This triggers the Nitro bridge for cross-chain transfers.

3. Destination Processing: On the destination chain, BatchTransaction activates DexSpan for token swaps.

4. Final Step: The Kim Adapter adds liquidity, returning your liquidity position easily.

Yada, yada, yada. Don’t worry if you thought that .sol was .Solana - it’s not, it’s .solidity, the programming language of Ethereum and (most) EVM chains. We (KIM MARKETING NOT DEVS) made the same mistake (/s).

Wanna get started? Seamlessly leverage your assets on other chains to provide liquidity to Kim through this beautiful, extraordinary, user-interface, courtesy of Router, here.

We’re going (to) Base(d).

Yep, the hottest L2 on the Optimism Superchain, the lovechild of Coinbase and Ethereum, Brian and Vitalik, is getting Kim-ified.

It’s true; we’re launching on Base 🎉

Why Base

Because it’s based.

No, Really, Why Base?

1. It’s Based

2. Ski to where the puck is heading, kiddo.

We’re absurdly bullish Web3. We’re even more bullish Superchain. And, as part of that, we’re bullish Base.

Coinbase and the Base team (s/o Jesse, pls acknowledge us 👋) have been working miracles when it comes to bringing users onchain.

And we don’t think that’s gonna change any time soon.

More users will have access to Kim; the most rewarding DEX in Web3.

For our current users - expect deeper liquidity pools, more incentives, and a more refined user experience.

Get Based With Us, Anon

If you’re a new user from the Base ecosystem, welcome - and enjoy the dank-load of rewards heading your way.

Existing users? Thank you for the support. Thank you for the liquidity. You will be rewarded.

Oh, and follow us on X, and join us on Discord.

It’s all fun and degen until it happens. Until millions of dollars of user funds are gone in an instant.

Where? To Kim Jong Un’s Pyongyang mansion? Maybe. Wherever it goes, when a hack occurs it doesn’t matter where those funds go to the users impacted.

What matters is that they’re gone.

And, just like most things in life, prevention is the best medicine.

That’s why Kim has partnered with Hypernative to secure our ecosystem and ensure your assets are more SAFU than ever.

Hypernative

Institutional grade Web3 security. Hypernative stops zero day Web3 cyber attacks, economic risks and protects digital assets, protocols and Web3 applications from significant losses.

Hypernative will actively monitor Kim whilst our security team will receive customized alerts 24/7 in the event of a malicious on-chain act.

Alerts can trigger automated prevention systems where necessary. With Hypernative, Kim will react and prevent any suspicious security incident promptly.

As always, at Kim - security is our #1 concern. Without that we wouldn’t be able to provide you with the greatest rewards for your liquidity in Web3.

Advanced Threat Detection

Kim Exchange is now under the vigilant eye of Hypernative’s state-of-the-art threat detection and response platform. This partnership extends across the Mode network, encompassing a wide range of potential vulnerabilities, from bridges and smart contracts to multisig wallets and token allocations.

Hypernative’s system is renowned for its real-time monitoring capabilities, utilizing both on-chain and off-chain data sources. Their platform can identify over 200 risk types, ensuring rapid detection and response to threats such as smart contract hacks, market manipulations, and even private key theft. Last year alone, Hypernative detected 99.5% of hacks with a minuscule false positive rate of less than 0.001%, saving over $50 million in funds.

Stay Safe, Anon

Don’t worry, anon - you don’t have to do anything. Just sit back and bask in the additional security provided by Hypernative.

*note: this figure has not been checked for accuracy

So, when a project (a la Kim) is looking for where to set up shop, how do they decide which one to choose?

Security? Speed? Liquidity? Usability? Meme-ability?

Yes. All of the above and more.

And the OP Superchain has it all. It is, for lack of a better pun, OP.

The Superchain Promise

Kim set out to have the deepest liquidity in Web3. To get there we need to be able to provide the most lucrative rewards possible. And we need that liquidity to be accessible to as many on-chain users as possible.

With the Superchain, we’re able to take the steps we need in order to achieve our goal.

Security? Yep, the Optimism Foundation has proven time and time again that it’s committed to decentralization and security.

Speed? Mode, our native L2 built on the OP Stack, process transactions in seconds.

Liquidity? The nature of the OP stack will enable Kim to provide liquidity across chains removing the fragmentation that’s so prevalent in crypto.

Usability? It’s easier to use than ever. Pennies per transaction. Countless wallets and user interfaces to access not just Kim, but a plethora of other dApps that optimize user experience.

Meme-ability? Uh, we just said OP is OP - that’s evidence enough.

The Future of Kim x Superchain

Hey BoB, we’re just gonna leave this here. It’s a BASED move.

IYKYK

TTFN

Ta-ta for now, anon. The Superchain is the light breaking through the leaves of the trees in the forest. And we’re prouder than ever to be a part of that light.

Oh, before we forget - follow us on X, and join us on Discord

Rumour is we’re launching a hyper-interactive, degen-friendly, lootbox event. With some top prizes of up to $10,000.

Ten. Thousand. Dollars.

But before we kick off the big one, we’re testing it.

(We’re testing it with you).

Get ‘yo Lootbox

Since we’re just testing, we’re rolling two types of lootboxes; Gold & Wooden.

The famed golden lootbox holds up to $10,000 in rewards. Wooden lootboxes, although still cool, will snag you up to $100 in rewards.

Rewards range from kpNFTs with liquidity attached, $KIM rewards, APY booster NFTs, and a whole lot more (but we don’t wanna reveal all the alpha just yet).

For the next 2 weeks we’ll be dropping eleven lootboxes - 10 wooden, 1 gold, all you need to do to get involved is earn your lootbox lottery tickets.

One lottery ticket is earned when you:

Swap

1. ETH-USDC, KIM-MODE, ETH-MODE, KIM-ETH

   1. $100 swap = 3 ticket

2. ETH-mBTC, ETH - STONE, ETH-wBTC, ETH-USDT

   1. $100 swap = 2 ticket

3. ETH-MOCHAD, ETH-DJUMP

   1. $100 swap = 2 ticket

4. ETH-(LRT)ETH pairs

   1. $200 swap = 1 ticket

Provide Liquidity

1. ETH-USDC, Kim-mode, eth-mode, kim-eth

   1. $100 LP = 2 ticket

2. ETH-mBTC, ETH-STONE, ETH-wBTC, ETH-USDT, ETH-MOCHAD, ETH-DJUMP

   1. $100 LP = 1 ticket

3. ETH-(LRT)ETH pairs

   1. $100 LP = 1 ticket

Boost with Yield Booster

• 1ticket = $50 xKim in Yield Booster

**Fill up your Dosirak with some shinny Lootboxes!

ONE MORE THING

The feds over at Mode Network are dropping 5,000,000 (that’s million) MODE points to those who swap on Kim (and a handful of other, less cool, DEXs).

So swap away, anon. Swap for your chance to win a lootbox. Swap for your chance to earn MODE points. Swap for your future.

And, as always, follow us on X, and join us on Discord

We’re innovating. Degening. Building out the future of DeFi.

Together.

You and I (and also the more important members of the Kim team, the super smart tech folk).

In this piece of digital penmanship, we’re gonna dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge, through some of the tools at your disposal to maximize your yield on Kim.

Vaults & Strategies

Since the launch of our Steer Protocol integration, Kim LPers have been bestowed with a heavenly gift - a powerful tool that lets you sit back, relax, optimize your LP provision, and, most importantly, earn.

With Steer (and, soon, more providers), liquidity providers can access a variety of LP strategies to reduce impermanent loss and maximize GAINS. Check out our longer form piece on this here.

There are two ways to access this:

• When prompted during the provision of LP (on select pools), OR

• In the v4 Vaults section on Kim

With vaults, you’re able to select strategies based on your risk tolerance. Have fun, anon.

Lock Your LP

Alright, this one is super simple, super easy, and SUPER rewarding.

It’s as simple as this: when you’re providing liquidity, into any pool, you’ll be asked if you wanna lock it.

Select the number of days and, well, go ahead and lock it. You can lock liquidity for up to 6 months, the longer you lock the more steroid your rewards will be on.

Learn how we managed to leverage liquidity locks with a few other tactics to get a whopping 1,250% APR on the ETH <> USDC pool right here.

The Yield Booster Plugin

Whew, okay - we’re going DEEP, anon. Yield boosting - allocate your $xKIM to your liquidity positions and feel the RAW THRILL of increasing your APR!

So, you’ve got a bag of $xKIM and you’re ready to allocate.

Make sure you’ve got a liquidity position in Kim already (check above, pick an awesome vault!), and head to the Yield Booster section of Kim.

Hit that little, but beautiful, rocket on the left and allocate your $xKIM.

Boom. Simple. All done. EZPZ. Wp. GG.

Reward Plugin

Okay, for this one, you’re not really boosting your yield on an LP.

Instead, you’re playing the long game. You’re getting your fair share of the the protocol fees that Kim earns.

That’s 0.3% on EVERY SINGLE SWAP, anon. All of it distributed to you; the holders of $KIM and stakers of the Reward Plugin.

Check it out here - just a few clicks and you’ll be earning whilst you sleep.

Need a reminder on how to stake your $KIM / $xKIM? Check it out here, anon.

kpNFTs & Nitro Pools

If you’ve got an open liquidity position in Kim already and you wanna lock that mu’fudda up for extra rewards, you can do that right from the Kim dashboard thanks to the power of kpNFTs.

AND, MORE EXCITINGLY, AS OF RECENTLY YOU CAN STAKE YOUR kpNFTs TO UNLOCK THE POWER OF NITRO POOLS.

Nitro pools allow the Kim team, and our deep party of partners, to offer incentives to liquidity partners on particular positions on top of what you’re already earning.

For example, if MODE wanted you to keep your liquidity on Kim - they simply spin up a Nitro Pool and offer rewards on all those who stake their KIM-MODE LP kpNFTs into it. Check out the kpNFTs at your disposal here (note: if you don’t see any, you need to provide liquidity, anon).

YOUR OWN COMMON SENSE

Look, anon, we know it can seem impossible at times to keep up with the world of Web3 - whether it’s Iggy Azalea or Andrew Tate, someone has always got the mic.

With all that going on, how are you meant to keep up with the most rewarding opportunities in Kim?

Pretty tough, right?

Well, you can always head to the Pools section of Kim to see where’s best to provide your liquidity.

And, of course, you can follow us on X, and join us on Discord.

Gn, sleep well.

What does this mean? Wtf is a Nitro Pool? How can I squeeze as much profit out of them as possible even if I don’t understand what it is?

Slow down, anon. Lay off the nitrous.

We’re here to explain all that.

What Are Nitro Pools?

For you; they’re a way for you to earn yet more rewards on your LP positions in Kim.

How?

By leveraging your kpNFTs - if you’re not already familiar, these are NFTs you receive that act like a “receipt”, of sorts, for your liquidity positions on Kim.

With Nitro Pools, you’ll be able to put them to work.

For Kim & partner protocols; they’re a way for us to further incentivize you to provide and maintain liquidity.

Nitro Pools In Action

Picture this - you’ve got yourself a nice bag of Kim & Mode.

Now, you wanna throw it in the KIM <> MODE pool on Kim because the rewards are (already) fire. kpNFT Guide

Next, you get your kpNFT in your wallet.

Okay, with Nitro Pools you’ll be able to stake that kpNFT in an official Nitro Pool to earn additional rewards.

So, MODE wants to encourage you to stake your kpNFTs and Kim wants it, well, in Kim.

We can join forces and offer gazillion rewards in a Nitro Pool.

All entirely permissionless.

More rewards for you, more opportunities for us and our partners to bring your liquidity to the most rewarding DEX in Web3: Kim.

Flooring It with Nitro: Quick Guide

Okay, anon. After creating a position with kpNFTs, head on over to the My Positions of Kim.

Select the Locked kpNFT you wanna stake to Nitro Pool. If you haven't locked it yet, now is the time to join the cool gang.

For this example we’ve selected KIM <> MODE. Now you wanna hit “Stake to Nitro”.

*Only Locked kpNFTs can enjoy that sweet nectar of Nitro Pools.

Now, stake that kpNFT. EZPZ.

Gn, Anon

We hope you sleep soundly tonight, knowing that Nitro Pools are gonna work like steroids on your liquidity positions on Kim.

Now, you don’t need a driving license, an airplane, or a ship to get to where you’re heading. All you need it:

• A lil bit of ETH

• A couple of tokens you wanna LP with

• That dawg in you

Let’s dive into a quick-start guide on using Steer to set up and manage your LPs on Kim and how they can help you to prevent impermanent loss.

Oh, and there’ll be a little extra utility with your kpNFTs you get when providing liquidity in Kim 🎉

Steer on Kim: Quick Start Guide

Before we dive in, wtf is Steer anyways?

Well, it’s a lotta things. But importantly, it’s a supercharged, steriod-taking, concentrated liquidity manager.

That means, with Steer’s strategies, you can enjoy:

• Optimized rewards

• Reduced impermanent loss

• Higher testosterone levels (if applicable)

Okay, anon, first step - pretty easy. Head on over to the pools section of Kim.

Select the pool you wanna provide LP to. For this example we’ve selected ETH <> USDC. Now you wanna hit “create position”.

Set it to “Auto” and you’ll default to Steer (as that’s the only automatic strategy atm, more soon™)

Select your strategy below, there’s FLS, EES V2, or CRS V2. Each offer their own risks, different rewards.

For this example we’re going with FLS.

Enter the amount of liquidity you want to as either token below the strategy section.

Okay, whew, now we’re getting spicy.

You can lock your LP for a lock bonus in $KIM / $xKIM. The longer you lock, the higher your bonus. For this example, we went with 69 days (nice).

⚠️If you lock your liquidity you will not be able to remove it until the end of the locking period.

Now, approve any tokens (if you need to, first timer) and create your position.

Voila. You’re all set! Your first kpNFT is minted.

Now, on the positions section of Kim, You can track your positions at kpNFTs tab.

When you Withdraw from the Position, your kpNFT position will move to “Vaults V4,’ welp you will be missing out on more YIELD from boosting kpNFTs.

Boost kpNFTs?

But how and for what?!

Of course for more rewards.

On My Positions, you’ll see a juicy new section dedicated to kpNFTs.

So long as you have a kpNFTs position, you’ll be able to Allocate $xKIM here to increase the yield of your staking positions up to +100%.

Ready, set, GO to Yield Booster and start farming to your heart’s content.

Good Luck, Anon

Whether you choose to boost your positions through Yield Booster, or directly through the Rewards Plugin, you’ll always be rewarded with, well, a fk tonne of rewards.

So, go forth, provide liquidity, make your family proud.

And follow us on X, and join us on Discord.

IT CAN GET A LITTLE OVERWHELMING, WE KNOW.

That’s why we’ve written this. To steward you through the process of earning the most you can from Kim.

Let’s. Dive. In.

Maximizing Your Yields

Selecting Your Pools & Special Events

If you wanna start earning, you wanna pick a good pool, anon.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Pools section of Kim to keep up to date with the current APRs and rewards.

Wherever you see this, be sure to hover over it to see what exactly we’re offering in terms of bonus rewards!

Don’t forget, ever since we integrated with Steer you can leverage their reward optimization strategies when providing liquidity to make sure you’re getting the most bang outta your buck.

Staking $KIM & $xKIM

You have $KIM / $xKIM but it’s not staked or allocated correctly?

Eww.

Anon, $KIM is the lifeblood of the Kim ecosystem. If you have it, and you’re not leveraging it, you’re ngmi.

If you don’t have it, what are you waiting for? With $xKIM you’ll earn:

• Protocol fees

• Boosted yield (if allocated to the yield booster)

• The attention of the opposite sex (or same sex, whatever way you swing we don’t care)

Check out our guide to optimizing yield with $xKIM here.

Lock LP = Boost Rewards

Alrighty, anon. If you’re providing liquidity you will be offered the option to lock that LP up and, in return, you’ll get a nice big boost on your rewards.

If you’re truly a degen you’ll hit that “set max bonus” button.

Do it.

We dare you.

(but also fr don’t go crazy if you can’t handle risk, when your LP is locked you cannot remove it until the end of the locking period. Worth it tho).

A “Case Study”

We called it a “case study” ‘cos we thought it sounded professional. But really, it’s just an example.

Let’s take a look at what you’d get with a $5,000 ETH <> USDC LP right now.

With a maximum boost lock of 183d and by allocating 100 $xKIM to your position with the yield booster plugin, you’ll get an astonishing 1,250.457% APR.

Umm.

In rewards, you’d get:

Daily: $171.23

Monthly: $5,208.33

Annual: $62,500

Wait, why am I getting paid to write these blogs again? Imma do this RN.

Ciao for Now

Peace out, anon.

Stake, bake, and have fun.

Here we are.

Yet another safe CEX listing for $KIM.

One of the largest exchanges in the whole wide world, MEXC, is now home to the $KIM token.

Deposit, trade, degen, to your hearts content over on MEXC as of May 23rd - but, y’know, you won’t get quite the same type of rewards we dish out over on Kim, but still - more eyes, more holders, more $KIM for all.

Throwback Thursday

Okay, idk if it’ll be Thursday when we publish this (probably not), but since we’re celebrating the listing of $KIM on MEXC let’s take a look at some of Kim’s milestones!

But before that, don’t forget to check out some of the humongous APRs that are live over on Kim rn. Special shout out to the pools below:

Achievements Galore!

The last few months have been a bit of a doozy at Kim HQ. With the $MODE airdrop, the $KIM token launch (oh yeah, and airdrop), TVLs breaking ATH again and again, we thought we’d take a look back at some of the highlights:

• $KIM Launches with an airdrop, post raise on Superchain1 Launchpad

• Immediate launch of $KIM and $xKIM staking

• Out of the Gate (get it?!), $KIM lists on Gate.io 🎉

• May 6th - Kim breaks our TVL record with > $42m in TVL

• COUNTLESS partnerships ranging from MoChad to KelpDAO, EtherFi, and a whole host of others (there are simply to many to account for rn)

• Millions of $ in incentives, DevDrops, $KIM, sequencer fees, and any other revenue stream has been shared, and will continue to be shared, with the Kim community

That is just a glimpse of what we’ve achieved so far, and it’s brought us here. To this day. Where $KIM is more accessible than ever after listing on MEXC.

This is just the beginning, anon.

We’ve barely even started.

A whole roadmap is set to be executed upon.

Don’t miss it.

Follow us on X, and join us on Discord

You.

Us.

One week.

Alone.

Nobody else. No phones. No noise. No distractions.

Just you and I.

And 2.1 million $KIM/$xKIM in rewards.

So, it’s a date?

I only want one thing in return; you gotta plug in to the plugins.

The 2.1m $KIM Plugin Incentive

Beginning May 20th and running through the end of that week, there are 2.1 MILLION $KIM and $xKIM up for grabs as incentives for $xKIM stakers. Learn how to stake your $xKIM using the plugin here.

Do I have to provide liquidity?

No, you don’t have to. You’ll still get a cut of the 2.1m $KIM/$xKIM. However, your slice of the pie won’t be quite as large as that of your neighbour who did provide liquidity and stake their $xKIM.

If, for any reason, you wanna maximize your rewards, go ahead and stake your $xKIM and provide a little liquidity in any (or all!) of these pools:

ETH-USDC Kim-ETH

Kim-Mode

Mode-ETH

USDC-USDT

ezETH-ETH

weETH-ETH

wrsETH-ETH

Good Luck in Life, Anon

We mean it. Good luck with everything. (But we only mean it if you stake your $xKIM).
