STAFI’S INTEGRATION INTO YEARN.FINANCE

StaFi, Staking Finance is a finance synchronized blockchain that solely concentrates on liquidity of locked assets for a period of time now. We have about five of such PoS projects which have been set-up including StaFi. However to achieve all round success of StarFi goal, there is need for concerted efforts of other block-chain and DeFi protocols collaboration.

StaFi Initial Proposal

StaFi had shown interest by raising a proposal on curve DAO to install rETH/ETH trading pair sometime late April. It was however, successful. The feat stipulates that StaFi rETH Token will be integrated into top DeFi protocols such as Yearn.Finance and other DeFi top protocols. rETH/ETH has been enlisted on the curve. One of the strong beliefs of StaFi is in the free trading concept of rETH Token as it will enforce liquidity of locked assets. rETH Token forms one of the rToken pairs whose staking solution is from ETH2 (Ethereum 2.0).

What Is rETH Token

rETH Token is a staking source of Eth2 developed by StaFi. It gives sure assurances for Eth2 liquidity staking at ease. Its use spans through when ETH is locked by users by engaging the rETH App. The rETH Token is solely dependent on the staking of ETH and the aftermath rewards considering all time trading flexibility of rETH App. Staked asset liquidity is most assured every time users trades and rewards are granted as such.
