Reminder friends!
Make sure to migrate your staked VRTX to V2 on @vertex_protocol (or stake for the first time!) by 5:00 PM UTC on November 27th to claim your 2.5% - 7.5% staking bonus!
Once again, the new V2 is a revamp of the staking of the VRTX token, which is quite timely as yields on stakers have been absolutely mooning as of late, hitting 78% APR (paid out in USDC) over this last week!
All the associated details re: the V2 migration are extremely bullish, and you can get all the info via the official article here!
