HBD Interest Rates Are Now 20% | We're Building a $5M Liquidity Pair for HBD-USDC
ICYMI over the weekend, Hive witnesses came to a consensus to raise HBD interest rates to 20% APR. This is an incredibly bullish change for the Hive ecosystem.
In my opinion, Hive was always a top 50 cryptocurrency in terms of technology and value proposition. The technology on this blockchain is unrivaled for what we use it for: social, fast and free TXs, P2E, DeFi... It's amazing.
We also have had one of the longest standing algorithmic stablecoins in the entire crypto industry. There are 2 major problems that kept the outside world from mass adopting HBD and by extension, Hive:
- HBD Fixed Interest Rate (Demand)
- HBD Liquidity (Supply)
As you can see, the demand problem has officially been solved in the last 48 hours. HBD now has a fixed interest rate of 20% APR which rivals that of platforms like Anchor on Terra (LUNA)'s UST Algo-Stablecoin.
With this demand in place, we have one last problem to solve: Supply.
Personally, I've been trying to leg into a 6 figure HBD position. It is incredibly difficult to do this. Why? There is literally no liquidity for HBD out there.
Our aim with PolyCUB is to build DeFi solutions for the LeoFinance, Hive and broader Crypto community. PolyCUB is an incredibly capable platform and we have a loaded roadmap of features that are being rolled out like bonding, collateralized lending, xPOLYCUB governance, etc.
Over the weekend, we've done our final testing on two major feature releases:
- Bonding
- pHBD
In this post, we'll focus on the upcoming release of pHBD.
Polygon HBD (pHBD)
We've developed an oracle for a wrapped version of HBD. This wrapped version of HBD will live on the Polygon Network and the oracle governing it will be operated by PolyCUB (LeoFinance).
pHBD will work identical to the pLEO (also, bLEO, wLEO) tokens. You can instantaneously wrap and unwrap HBD into pHBD on the Polygon network.
We've also created a vault for pHBD-USDC and will seed it with liquidity. There is almost no liquidity out there for HBD in the current market:
This leaves 2 other options:
- Internal Market (also very very low liquidity)
- HIVE->HBD Conversions (3.5 day carry risk)
Our goal is to build a pHBD-USDC LP into a $5M+ liquidity pool in the long-run. It's extremely doable with the right focus from the LeoFinance and Broader Hive Community. To have a liquidity pool of this size and hopefully grow it into a larger and larger one would bring ripping effects throughout the Hive ecosystem.
As a large holder of Hive, I am extremely bullish already. This HBD change has me wanting more HIVE in a big way. I accumulated most of mine back at $0.10 HIVE in 2020 but now I'm seeing that HBD could supercharge this ecosystem and put it into the mainstream conversation.
This is good for Hive and it's good for LEO and LeoFinance. As a social base layer, the attention on HBD will also drive attention and onboarding for new users.
The virtuous cycle of this ecosystem is massive... We have the demand and NOW we need the supply. PolyCUB will start focusing immensely on building a massive pHBD-USDDC pool to solve this market need.
How Does This Benefit PolyCUB?
Well it's obvious that this benefits the Hive ecosystem: we're solving the #1 problem with HBD now which is supply dynamics. People simply cannot buy enough HBD. We're about to create a means for people to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of HBD.
The key is to make this a synergistic relationship between PolyCUB and HBD. pHBD will have some features that feed value into POLYCUB:
- pHBD Wrapping and Unwrapping Fee: a 0.25% fee is accumulated when wrapping and unwrapping. This fee is paid to PolyCUB's Protocol Owned Liquidity and PolyCUB will deposit it back into the pHBD-USDC Vault (meaning that it adds to permanent liquidity for HBD while also bolstering PolyCUB's reserves)
- pHBD-USDC Vault Fee: a vault fee will be taken when depositing pHBD-USDC. This vault fee is paid entirely to Protocol Owned Liquidity and backs the value of POLYCUB
- xPOLYCUB Governance xPOLYCUB is adding governance in the near-term roadmap. This means that xPOLYCUB stakers will be able to vote on how much yield is allocated to certain vaults. How does this have anything to do with pHBD? Well, the Hive community is likely to dump lots of HBD into the pHBD-USDC vault and want to earn more than 20% APY on it. The governance system will cause Hive whales to fight over xPOLYCUB stake so that they can allocate more yield to their HBD position. Other whales in something like Aave Kingdom or WETH-WBTC may try to wrestle control and push yield into that vault. This can create a "Curve Wars" style battle for control and ultimately drive the POLYCUB price higher which in turn drives the yield higher on every vault
All of these things add up to massive value for PolyCUB and massive value for HBD. We're building an incredibly synergistic relationship that will bolster the liquidity of HBD and allow crypto whales to start legging into large HBD positions while also supporting the PolyCUB economy through trading fees and incentives paid to the Protocol Liquidity which backstops the POLYCUB price.

I am still a bit concerned about the 20% interest rate offered by HBD saving option. I hope it get sustained for a long and hope it wouldn't reduce the value of hive power though.
Hearing about a liquidity pair about HBD is a good development to welcome. At a time like this, HBD really need it
That was my worry before now, but I've been given a light that Hive Power serves much more than generating curation and staking APYs.
Your Hive Power is your governance power where you can support witnesses, vote for proposals and even operate your second layer tribes.
Holding an HBD savings will require Resource Credits which is a function of Hive Power.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So, if I want to put 100k hbd into savings I will need enough resource credit to that by powering up some hive?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If that's all you want to do you won't need a lot. The free RC that comes with an account is probably enough. If you want to engage in more activity then you will need more RCs and need to power up more HIVE.
Thanks for your smooth explanation
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
HIVE and HBD both offer unique value propositions. These need to be separated and evaluated on their own terms.
Very similar to CUB, POLYCUB and LEO. Each has its own value prop and reason for holding. Most people need to get a clear understanding of each
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Why would it reduce the value of Hive Power?
It seems like it will only enhance the value of the ecosystem. HP offers a lot of on chain utility. That is unaffected by HBD. Also, anyone who is going to utilize the HBD savings will need to have a hive account and some HP to operate.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is going to bring a massive benefit to the entire Hive ecosystem. Some people still view things in a narrow lense but when you take a step back and see the big picture, you see that this is a radically positive shift.
Increase the HBD APR is going to drive so much new attention to Hive which in turn, leads to more value for both HIVE and HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is going to be a game changer for hive and I am sure People would love to move money to hbd stable coin. Earning of 20% apr is just amazing and with this increase hbd is going to be a great decentralized stable coin.
The ROI is likely to be higher on Polycub albeit with more risks.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes much higher. The counterparty risk exists although wLEO,bLEO and pLEO have been running with no issues and the rep of LeoFinance is far more valuable than a few million HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I totally agree.
Leo is my main gate to bridge assets from/to BSC and Hive.
Only once I had an issue and they helped out at each step.
Completely bullish in (and grateful for) LeoFi products. Definitely looking forward depositing some USDCHBD in that pool.

The 20% APR is definitely a nice move and way forward in achieving more benefits in the nearest future and which i believe the turn up of individuals will be massive because of the profits that will be achieved when storing enough HBD in savings and I believe is a smart move happening in the blockchain

Looks like stablecoins are so difficult to make stable. The mechanism seems to be tough. Hbd have been playing around .87 to .97 for months but has maintained $1 and a bit over $1 this past week on Bittrex.

A couple things about this:

Awesome move for PolyCub with pHBD. I've personally been anticipating after hearing the news about it in one of the AMA's. Liquidity indeed has been a problem for HBD. Nice it will greatly solved with coming stable coin vault on PolyCub

polycub, HBD rate increase are so good for Leofinance. And building $5 million liquidity pair for HBD-USDC will help the HBD liquidity problem. USDC is use in the polygon network, also xpolycub all useful for trade. The liquidity should now be more available !

The liquidity problem on HBD is so ridiculously massive! It's never been more important than now for us to step up and get liquidity injected into the pHBD pair!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Everything seems to be getting more interesting nowadays, having a very huge ApR for HBD is another means of investing.
All attention needs to be put into stable coin the more
Interest in HBD is incredibly beneficial both for HIVE and HBD and LEO
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I have 2 questions here:
Will we use the same bridge like LEO (https://wleo.io/polygon) to wrap HDB to pHBD?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes it is 1 to 1 backed - just as 1pLEO is backed by 1 native LEO on the hive blockchain and is verifiable using wLEO.io.
Every pHBD is backed by 1 HBD on Hive and can be unwrapped at any time for 1 HBD
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This explains it all, waiting for this to start saving my retirement money
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Including a liquidity pair for HBD on Polycub is a smart one. With HBD been so lucrative for a stable coin, this would change things for the better at polycub
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's going to drive a massive degree of value back into POLYCUB through protocol owned liquidity. I'm excited to make it happen
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Polycub to the rescue. I'm waiting to see how this would play out as the 20% APR of saving HBD on Hive is one of the juiciest but that doesn't solve HBDs liquidity issues on Hive. Great job Team Leo.
How soon would we be having pHBD-USDC vault available and is there an update on the APR?
The 20% only further creates the need for a liquidity pool. Polycub is providing that. Hopefully it will fill up quickly so we have at least one area with a lot of liquidity.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah we are going to build the largest liquidity marketplace for HBD. Me trying to buy a six figure stake has shown me just how desperately HBD needs a deep liquidity pool.
It will all be ready in the sooniverse

Massive HBD APR,more keep coming for investors to feast on,nice one,let go get to this too
This is very great one and I believe it will stay for a very long time for more improvement and development in the Leofinance. HBD is great now. Kudos
pHBD will really be a good idea, because it add value to HBD and also to PolyCUB.
This goal will be achieved and I look forward to pHBD and also I’m getting ready to engage because I’m sure it will really be a good one.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
As HBD Demand issues has been fixed, and we now have 20% APR. Would it not affect Hive? in the sense that people will be powering down to buy more HBD.
Since Hive offers 8% APR and HBD now offers 20% APR.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not sure; I'm personally bullish on the price of $HIVE. I believe it could be going to $8 within the next 5 years.
I'm keeping my $HIVE to be exposed to this upside potential. Also keeping amd growing HBD from post payouts to hedge.
Not powering down any time soon.
I also think this is possible. Some people have framed me up as a HIVE hater but HIVE is one of my largest holdings in crypto. I believe firmly in the value prop of this blockchain - obviously, as we've chosen to build LEO on it.
I also believe the value prop just skyrocketed thanks to this move on HBD. Now it's hard to ignore the longest standing stable coin in the crypto industry paying comparable rates to UST on Anchor.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I think this hatred is useless because your promotion of Leo and other Leo DApps is actually bringing new users to the hive blockchain, which automatically grows the entire blockchain.

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
All I see you doing is trying to add more value to HIVE than HIVE has right now.
The bonding pair of HBD with USDC is for the benefit of hive blockchain.
It may not be seen now but you should know that time tells it all.
HIVE offers a lot more upside than 20% plus it gives people other benefits such as helping to direct the reward pool, voting for witnesses/proposals, and is gas on the chain.
Powering down and selling Hive for HBD might be done to get 20%. But what happens if the price of HIVE goes from 85 cents to $1.35? Seems like the person shot themselves in the foot.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It can definitely be looked at as an interesting dilemma. As Task is saying: if you're holding a stablecoin, all you can earn is the yield. In this case, 20% per year.
Though if you had bought HIVE at $0.10 and earned 8% yearly but held until today from the past 24 months, you'd be doing a helluva lot better than 40% return (20% * 2).
IMO holding both is a logical move. Speculate on HIVE while also using HIVE POWER to have more influence while simultaneously stacking HBD from author rewards and buy-ins to increase your "secure" stash of stablecoins earning 20% that you can also leg back into HIVE with during crypto dips.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
People do not put their entire portfolio's in penny stocks or major spec. They spread it around.
Speculate on Hive, go for yield with HBD. If HIVE moons, take some profits by getting it into HBD and earning more yield.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
pHBD sounds great, leofinance is moving to create varieties of option with the 20% move. I think it's a great one. I just think no one has explained how sustainable this would be. Plus, how would this move not make HBD push past the $1 peg?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is an important piece to the puzzle. When it rolls out, it is vital to get the liquidity going.
That is something that is vital to taking the next step.

My aim is that tens of thousands of dollars will be bought and sold on pHBD every single day.
Just imagine being an investor and being able to buy a huge stake in HBD.
Now imagine being a POLYCUB investor and pHBD trading is all driving wrapping fees and vault deposit fees into PolyCUB's protocol owned liquidity vault and sending it sky-high.
The future is exciting
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well I don't have any questions, I just want to accumulate as much HBD as I can, as an APR of 205 per year is the best I could hear today when I opened my leofinance feed, many thanks to the witnesses and developers for all the hard work they do in making Hive reach the moon as a stable and very profitable network.

If we deposit HBD into pool can we lose our HBD? And we get paid out in Polycub not HBD right?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Technically if the pair is trading lop-sided you could have impermanent loss. This would imply that either HBD or USDC has lost its peg though.
USDC won’t lose its peg. HBD has done it before but with very different circumstances. So if you buy HBD to speculate on the price then that could impact you.
Though it could also benefit you in many ways. So there are trade-offs all over the place. If HBD maintains its peg, then you won’t have any IL since you’ll be paired stable-stable.
Yes, payouts are in POLYCUB. They are more liquid in many cases than HBD payouts for native savings and the APY will be a lot higher
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Will they be subject to the same 2-step withdrawal process - 1) Harvest and 2) Claim, with a 50% penalty, if executed before 90 days?

I think that needs to be very clear before it launches for the "normies" out there. I'm conflicted but either way I'm not playing with much money, maybe $1000, but would love to learn how to be most efficient with it. After pleo-wmatic I only managed to earn and stake 5 xpolycub so far lol. But I'm learning
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Lol yes well it's all game theory in the end. You need to figure out the best move for you. In the end, providing liquidity also gets you more liquidity than staking HBD directly on-chain. Additionally, the APY for providing liquidity should be far more attractive. The downside is potential counter-party risk.
It's all trade-offs in the end.

The latest excitement regarding HBD problem put a bit more of a pump in Khal's step regarding this. It is not time to add another level which solves one of the main issues.
Hopefully the $5 million in liquidity is in there quickly. It could take a while to get to that point.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I tend to agree this will be a rather slow process, growing the LP. Very hard to come by liquid HBD (or HIVE, to convert).
HIVE is much easier to acquire right now than HBD. There is only about 6 million of it on the open market since roughly 3 million is in savings.
Not sure how many are looking to sell. Someone is going to have to start converting some HIVE to HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Pretty crazy to think about what could happen to the HIVE / HBD prices wen this thing moons in liquidity
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If what happened elsewhere is any indication, then we know what will happen.
It is simply a matter of getting things rolling. We are starting to see the steps revealing themselves.
The move to 20% was a big step forward. Now getting a LP open is the next. Then filling it is the third.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Bonding and pHBD should be delivered on similar timelines. The development on both is actually complete. Right now we're testing them. Testing has become an incredibly important process for us
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
They're being worked on simultaneously by two developers so I believe they'll be delivered right alongside eachother.
Right now it's a race to see who will be ready with final testing on each. I am hopeful that bonding and pHBD will be ready this week.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
20% APR is massive. Kudos to the witnesses. More reason to hold HBD. I think if the leofinance team can solve the liquidate problem of HBD it will have a positive impact on the hive ecosystem. There should be more demand for HBD now given this new APR.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
Demand is there now it's time to bring some supply. POLYCUB will do this by creating the largest liquidity pool for HBD that the world has ever seen
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So ...
Does this mean we will have to first transfer our HBD into Hive Engine, i.e. Swap.HBD? I reread this post and I don't see this clearly answered, although "work identical" implies the answer ...
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The process of wrapping the native asset to the wrapped version and back is identical, not what comes before or after.
pHBD is wrapped HBD not wrapped swap.HBD.
So you’ll wrap HBD into pHBD and unwrap pHBD back into native HBD.
No hive engine involved

Yeah I am also on there and there's basically no HBD. Internal market is all we got.
pHBD will change EVERYTHING for HBD liquidity. We'll also make sure it has a huge benefit to PolyCUB via driving up POLYCUB's Protocol Owned Liquidity through wrapping fees and deposit fee. Deposit fee is likely to be about 1-2%

Hell yeah! Those fees will add up quick.

$5M Liquidity Pair for HBD-USDC is a huge development on Hive. Thanks to the Leofinance thing for creating this great utility for JBD on the PolyCUB DeFi.
With this, we are gradually approaching the future and just get positioned to receive the masses. This is a time for communities to up their game to receive new users as will now become a sought-for blockchain via the HBD tokenomics.
Really a terrific value.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a major requirement for the system. The idea of going after what Terra did is smart. However, the liquidity issues cannot be overlooked.
This will at least provide one pool where people can access HBD (pHBD). However, will they get 2.5 million out of the 9.5 million available?
We could see a lot of HBD leave the savings and head to Polycub.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will personally be buying up any and all HBD I can get my hands on and staking it straight into the pHBD-USDC pool. Liquidity is our #1 issue now that the interest rate on HBD is where it needs to be (20%). I'm excited for what this entire chain can accomplish if we can rally the troops behind this one

It will mirror what the other ones have. Simply look at how they operate (I honestly havent checked them out on Polycub).
The fees are going to be based upon the pool and how much the liquidity it as compared to what is being swapped. Try to swap 1 million HBD and you might encounter a problem. Break it up over 10 or 15 transactions and the fees will be lower.

Yes, slippage is also a consideration.
We need to build this pool as deep as possible to attract whales to the Hive ecosystem through HBD. This has become one of my #1 focuses lately.

Likely a 1-2% deposit fee. Haven't decided the final number on that at this time.
The wrapping fee is already set: 0.25% wrap and 0.25% unwrap.
Some may say it's steep. Others will see that POLYCUB is providing a massive value here and needs to also get value in return in the Protocol Owned Liquidity to ensure that pHBD-USDC has long-term LP incentives that make sense.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's cool, but how about in-pool SWAPs. For example getting to buy pHBD from USDC. Would there be charges like we have here on hive-engine dieselpools?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just the normal small fees that AMMs deploy back into the LP as LP Trading Incentives. We'll be using Sushiswap, so it will be the same as POLYCUB-USDC - for example

It is really exciting to see all this excitement about HBD. Liquidity is a huge obstacle but thanks to PolyCUB there is an immediate solution.
What is unique is that all of this will bring huge benefits to HIVE and POLYCUB!
Is there also a BUSD-HBD pool on Cubfinance? We could catch a lot of BSC investors
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
A true win-win situation. We do not see much of them, at least this overt. This one aligned well and the timing was ideal.
Polycub was already being worked on with this pool, the fact that the increase in HBD % made it golden in terms of the timing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I have a feeling we'll also do bHBD-BUSD on Cub. This will also have the same features as POLYCUB to build CUB's protocol owned liquidity:
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We are seeing the commerce growing. It is going to be a hotbed for HBD related activity. Find a void and fill it; Cubfinance is certainly doing that.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The demand problem was solved by increasing HBD interest rates. The HBD liquidity issue will also be resolved with PolyCUB, which means that the supply issue will now be resolved. These will really make a huge contribution to the Hive ecosystem. Adoption of HBD, HIVE and PolyCUB will accelerate further. These are really great works.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The liquidity problems will have to be addressed by more than Polycub. Having a LP with nothing in it is a problem. Still need to decide where it is going to come from.
That is the challenge. As Khal mentioned, he is trying to get more than $100K in HBD, and it is a challenge.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I know this problem. It will become clear in my plans when the Liquidity Pair for HBD-USDC is built. Evaluating many options for gain will provide a great advantage.
From now on I will focus on investing in HBD. Your post about HBD yesterday inspired me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I keep pouring HBD into the savings. No reason not to. We will see the details about the LP on Polycub. Have no idea what those numbers will look like.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah it's tough to speculate. I have a feeling that anyone holding the xPOLYCUB governance token will start to vote up the APY on the pHBD-USDC vault on Polycub.com which will be very bullish for POLYCUB as it will continually drive yields and more liquidity.
Lots of game theory involved here. Maybe we will force Hive whales to start building massive LP stakes in pHBD-USDC, then build a massive stake in xPOLYCUB to amplify their yield.
Of course, all of these whale wars will drive POLYCUB's price up, increasing yield on all vaults. On top of that, pHBD will generate MASSIVE revenue streams for PolyCUB through

I wouldnt think too many will do that. My hunch is we wont see a bunch of them in POLYCUB. After all, few of them even took a gander at Cubfinance.
It is up to us to build it I believe. We will see how quickly it fills.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a big piece to this puzzle. Glad to see you put out a target. That means about 2.5 million HBD is the first goal. That is what is needed.
We are going to have to watch to see how quickly things fill up.
Will this have the ability to add just one token or will people have to put in both as a pair?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I will buy as much HBD as I can. I hope the Hive community steps up and joins in the fun and we can truly build a massive liquidity pool. This is going to be extremely important for the viability of POLYCUB in the long-run as well as the ability for HBD to truly onboard the masses to the Hive ecosystem
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well the goal of deepest liquidity pool is not a high bar to reach. Yes it would be good if the Hive community joined in. There are roughly 3 million HBD in savings according to @dalz. So that would be a nice funding if a fair portion of it moved out.
I wonder if there are others like you who are looking at a sizeable position?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
is this the reason Hive is tanking? :P
Sorry, forgot to answer this - you'll have to LP both assets together just like the other Farms on PolyCUB.com.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hmm I thought I read that there is a push to single side staking in pools? Is that not something that is happening/possible?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I'm think of at least dumping some of my HBD saving into pHBD or perhaps I'll start from today stacking up my HBD rewards from posts ready to go into pHBD. The latter seems more appealing as it's more diverse.
I'm curious if you plan on having any of the POLYCUB mechanisms work to buy regular CUB in order to burn it or something, if you are perhaps planning on limiting the CUB supply in a similar way that you did with POLYCUB at a later day?
I'm curious what's next for CUB in general since it seems to be.. I'll say.. Stable right now.
Communities I run: Gridcoin (GRC)(PeakD) / Gridcoin (GRC) (hive.blog)| Fish Keepers (PeakD) / Fish Keepers (hive.blog)

POLYCUB and CUB are separate in this way. The connection is dual-fold:
#2 entails that CUB will also be getting Protocol owned Liquidity, bonding, collateralized lending, xCUB governance and more. It's extremely exciting to imagine this future for CUB.

Yeah this would be an awesome service! I have friends who got into splinterlands and wanted to buy hive... it was hard to find from the outside, and at the time I didn't understand all that much about bridges and all that.
I could see people asking about buying HBD now that there's a 20% return on it. So thanks for setting that up, and yeah I'm sure it will drive up all sorts of things in the hive ecosystem, leo, and all the different moving parts that apply to polycub. I will be buying some!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The understated fact is that pHBD will now be a part of LeoBridge which means that we'll be able to transact any EVM coin to HBD through the LEO Token Economy.
LeoBridge is a game changer lurking in the shadows. pHBD adds to the value prop on it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
What are the most active EVMs?
While we like what we are involved with, is there anything that is close to BSC? The others seem to get some attention for spot applications but it doesnt appear they have a ton of volume. I could be wrong though.

The key now is to convince the people to put some light in that shadow!!!

Awesome, I am going to try and take advantage of this once possible.
Ser... what will be the APR for the USDC/HBD pool .... also wen?
Have you visited the Sooniverse yet?
That is where all in Khal's world lives.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ser, it will be ready in the sooniverse. You know this.
The APR should be 25%+ and xPOLYCUB governance will be able to tweak this and make it even higher. I have a feeling HIVE whales should start accumulating POLYCUB and stake xPOLYCUB.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Not sure they follow it close enough. You are introducing a novel approach to DeFi and it is taking a lot to follow it.
We will see what happens though. Perhaps there could be some bigger players interested.
Either way, I have a feeling many of the larger xPOLYCUB hodlers are pro Hive so they will vote for a pool to help HBD liquidity.

This benefits both ways, HBD will be even more sought of, as liquidity is removed, and also it is bringing more attention on the pCUB + pHBD environment on poly.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It inserts Polycub at the center of a lot of things. This is going to really help out the platform while also bringing some major attention to HBD.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I see it the same. The best time is now to put the HBD to work.

POLYCUB is a beast in disguise. Most people have no idea what's about to hit them
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes they do. They just choose to ignore it. Their eyes are glued to the price to say see I told you it would keep going down.
When the protocol starts buying, especially with the reduction of emissions and airdrop the first part of May, it will be an entirely new ball game.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's a win-win. I'm excited to release this feature and bolster the PoL on PolyCUB while also bringing massively needed liquidity to the HBD token
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great to see a stablecoins based pool and I wonder two things: 1. Will the stablecoins allocation ratio be kept in time as structured only between stablecoins and we won't see any Impermanent Loss? 2. What APR% should we expect on top of the 20% that is provided through HBD Savings on Hive?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
If USDC and HBD maintain their pegs, then they're both always worth around $1 USD which means 0 impermanent loss.
This is an interesting question because you said "on top of".
The one thing about this is that you're trading the value prop of staking HBD directly on Hive. Instead, you'll be earning POLYCUB. The APR is likely to be super attractive at 30% or greater to incentivize this. POLYCUB will stake the HBD on Hive and buy POLYCUB with it to bolster Protocol Liquidity and incentivize pHBD-USDC LPs even further
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Does any of that head to xPOLYCUB or is it all being fed back into the LP like the bridge fees?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
yes! :)
really looking forward to this
I cannot wait!

@tipu curate
Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 34/44) Liquid rewards.
I think it's one of the biggest things anyone has done yet for Hive. Finally some more big exposure for Hive and HBD outside into other networks such as Polygon.
Is this a test phase to see how well it goes over and then the possibility of adding it into CUBDeFi?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I believe it's going to bring a great deal of value all over this ecosystem.
Yes, this is a tester. IF it goes well, we'll deploy bHBD and it will have the same mechanics and yet another massively deep liquidity pool for HBD in the long-run
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Damn we are going to need a lot more HBD.
Someone is going to have to break down and do some converting.
It is unavoidable.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The answer is that it will be added to Cubfinance.
That was stated somewhere else.

This is great. I can get paid 50% HP and HBD, then stake HP and sen HBD to PolyCub and use it on DeFi :D

Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
HBD is a hugely important mechanism for the long-term value of PolyCUB and the Hive ecosystem. I'm excited for all of this to get released in the sooniverse

As opposed to spotlight or flashlight?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hope it works for long term cause I love to earn 20% interest
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
I believe it will! I also love 20% and I love 40% even more
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is, of course, great news. Hopefully it catapults HIVE into the limelight a little bit. That said, my question is this: What happens if and when there is $100k HBD and $100k USDC in the LP and someone comes in and scoops up the liquidity? Say someone comes in and buys $100k HBD and doesn't put it back in the pool. Now what?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
You wouldn't want to buy $100K from a pool with only $100K on each side, this would result in enormous slippage. You would have to buy smaller chunks and hope the pool gets arbed back to 1-1 (which would add more HBD in this case).
To be able to buy $100K instantly with reasonable slippage you would need a much bigger pool.
Exactly. Though as we have seen some people are oblivious to slippage.
If someone did do it, then we'll see arbitrage bots step in and take care of the pegs to get them back to their correct level
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Then HBD moons in price. The thing is, then someone (likely a bot) will arbitrage HBD back down to its peg on the pHBD-USDC LP. This is important for the mechanics of HBD.
The need for massive liquidity on HBD has arrived and PolyCUB is at the center of it
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's quite easy to buy six figures of HBD, but you need to be willing to pay a small premium. The HBD stabilizer will sell to anyone who bids over $1 and it has a budget of over $150K per day.
If you want to snipe cheap HBD under $1 then it is much slower process depending on market conditions, I agree. There hasn't been much HBD selling recently. Wonder why...
How much of a premium is it right now? Also, where do you buy this? Is it on the internal exchange?
Admittedly, I've never dived deep into the mechanics of the stabilizer. I arbitrage into an HBD position slowly with bots every single day.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It buys on the internal exchange, but there are many (as in dozens) of arbitrage bots that would make the same trade on other exchanges.
I think the cutoff has been 1.01 but I've considered reducing it. But paying 1% over shouldn't be too bad for the purpose of holding for interest.
Okay as an experiment I changed it to +0.5% for now. I'll see how that works for a while and decide whether or not to make it permanent.
It is really exciting what is raised with this increase in the APR in HBD. Resolving the issue of supply is the task to be accomplished and we can already see that they are on the right track. I think more options besides POLYCUB will be needed to get it under control. I hope I don't miss anything.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I am so glad they did this!

I need to get more facts and knowledge about polycub cause it seems am lost in some areas like the part where the polycub will benefit from adding pHBD
