zUSD & zBNB Liquidity Pools Are Now Live on Wombat!
We are pleased to announce that both of our zAssets on-ramp Liquidity Pools are now live on Wombat! You can now go to the Wombat Exchange app and start staking in the zUSD and zBNB Liquidity Pools.
At the time of writing, the zUSD Liquidity Pool offers a base APR of 6%. Stakers can improve this by locking their WOM tokens for an additional 10% APR, totaling an average total APR of 16%.
The zBNB Liquidity Pool offers a base APR of 42.56%, which can be boosted by an average total APR of ~71%, for a total of 113% APR.
The APR varies based on changes in the deposited liquidity and weekly WOM emission. Additionally, Wombat provides boosted yields for stakers that lock their WOM tokens. This article gives more information on Wombat’s Yield Boosting.
Feel free to explore our step-by-step guide on adding zUSD/zBNB liquidity, designed to simplify and support your staking journey.
With this move, we have now completed HIP-8: Move the zUSD-BUSD and zBNB-BNB Liquidity Pools to Wombat Exchange and HIP-9: Redirect HZN from Earn Pools to Wombat Exchange as ‘Bribes’.
What’s Next?
We understand that initial liquidity levels on Wombat Exchange may be limited. This is a common occurrence during the launch phase, particularly for newer pools, as acknowledged by Wombat. Over time, these pools naturally find their balance.
That’s why we encourage Pancake stakers to transfer their liquidity to Wombat as soon as possible, as Pancake’s pool incentives have been discontinued.
Furthermore, we have already implemented and are actively progressing with the remaining HIP proposals, all of which are aimed at improving the liquidity of zAssets. Below you will find a brief summary of the HIPs that are in progress, along with links for accessing the complete proposals.
HIP-7: Utilize the Community Fund for Additional Liquidity
- We have allocated 15,000,000 HZN from the community fund towards a dedicated staking wallet, and have started the process of using it to boost the liquidity of our pools. Due to security factors this HIP is currently in an on-going process.
Benefits include:
- Reducing slippage for on/off ramps.
- Ensuring more favorable trading.
- Stabilizing the zUSD peg.
- Facilitating more seamless trading for both existing and new users.
- Increasing the protocol’s TVL.
HIP-10: Use zAssets from Community Fund staking to provide liquidity on Wombat via Wombex Finance
Utilize Wombex — a yield aggregator to increase the revenue generated for the liquidity staked, which will be directed in full back to the Community Fund. This strategy can offset costs and aid in the sustainable growth of the protocol. This HIP will be executed once the pools are live on Wombex.
