Amazing news for KTN token holders:

Today’s a big day for all the KTN holders, a unique way of staking KTN and earning is now available on Bancor; Kattana’s native token KTN has been whitelisted on Bancor v2.1. Users will now have the ability to stake their KTN and in addition to that: earn swap fees while maintaining 100% exposure to KTN token and with protection against impermanent loss.

Kattana has collected more than 90% of “YES” votes which equals 7.32М vBNT, that’s an astronomical number.

But you have to be sharp to not miss your chance in doing that because only 150K BNT is available for that.

It’s the chance you have been waiting for, don’t miss it 🤩

Token holders will now have safer and better returns for providing liquidity, without having to split their KTN into a separate reserve asset (like ETH or BNB) and without living in fear of price movements reducing the value of the initial stake.

Bancor’s BNT Liquidity Mining (LM) program has two primary goals as its aim:

1-Inject new liquidity into the existing Bancor pools;

2-Incentivize long-term liquidity provision.

More liquidity will help Bancor with more conversions in the market, which generates more fees for liquidity providers (LPs) which as a result increases APY and protocol revenue.

Note: There is a 30-day cliff, which means that if a liquidity provider decides to withdraw their position before 30 days passes, they’d incur the same IL loss experienced in a normal, unprotected AMM.

Impermanent loss protection starts 30 days after your deposit, at a rate of 30%, and gradually increases 1% per day until you reach 100% protection. You can always withdraw your liquidity at any time before that; however, you would be subject to the same risk of impermanent loss incurred in a normal AMM pool.

  • Initial Stake” — the total number of tokens initially staked
  • Protected” — the value of your position as if it has achieved full 100% protection
  • Claimable” — value available for withdrawal now. If IL has occurred, and the stake is less than 100 days old, Claimable will be lower than Protected
  • Fees, BNT Rewards, ROI (Protected-Initial Stake/Initial Stake*100), APR and time until you’ve accrued 100% IL protection
