Starknet Governance & Staking - SNIP-31 proposes a new BTC staking mechanism on Starknet [1] - The proposal aims to allow BTC holders to stake tokenized BTC (WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, SolvBTC) directly on Starknet [1] - Stakers can earn STRK rewards without affecting the current STRK APR [1] - Community vote opens in 3 days [1] Key Upgrade Details - BTC staking weight (alpha) is set at 0.25, granting BTC holders up to 25% influence in consensus power [1] - A curated list of BTC wrappers eligible for staking will be governed through community votes and Monetary Committee approvals [2] - STRK and BTC reward dynamics will be clearly separated [2] Participation Requirements - To participate in the vote, users need to wrap STRK into vSTRK and delegate or self-delegate voting power on the Governance Hub [2] - Alternatively, users can stake STRK directly, noting a 21-day unlock period applies for unstaking [2] - Users must complete one of these actions before the vote opens to be eligible to vote [3]

With DOT stimmies (hopefully) coming out tonight, I've gotta decide if I'm leaving them all as gigaDOT (16% APY), converting to AAVE (which got juiced today and getting ~32% APY), or tBTC (which is down to 22% APY).Hydration also teased something called HOLLAR (I think that probably means Hydration-dollar?). I imagine it'll probably get favorable treatment as well since Polkadot has shown an interest in kingmaking the DeFi hub.I'm leaning towards tBTC just for bitcoin upside, but good DeFi coins on ETH feel ...

A lil DeFi update for the chads, lads, and lasses...- Someone dumped a bit more tBTC into the Hydration pool, so now I'm pulling ~27% APY (as giga DOT). Still great yield on BTC. Hoping to pull another ~10k from rewards on Polkadot end of month...which will go right back into yield farming.- Sitting in 175th place on Project X. Probably time to move some more funds on there. imo one of the best HyperEVM airdrops when it launches. Probably makes a few millionaires.- ~19% APY on slightly levered delta neutral ...

A little DeFi checkin this evening on various farms I'm running...1) Still getting ~18% APY on a smol tBTC stack in Hydration. Honestly they're crushing it. Polkadot DeFi still seems to be pretty underutilized. There's also a vote ongoing to further juice this pool...so hopefully even more emissions.2) Liminal money.Getting ~9.4% APY on a smol stable stack farming HYPE delta neutral funding fees. Nothing life changing, but it's 10% better than leaving it sitting in a wallet. Probably will scale up my holdin ...
