Spotlight
Take note good degens! The majors vault powered by @skate_fi is now live on the @vertex_protocol vaults page on @0xMantle! Users can now deposit and earn some serious rewards!
Beyond this, yield-enjoyoors can also benefit from…
-Vertex’s ‘RealYield’ payments of $USDC to $VRTX-stakers (most recently over 26% Apr!)
-Vertex’s ‘Buyback & Burn’ program for $VRTX, which continually reduces the supply of the token, also benefitting holders and stakers!
Learn more below, and as always- Vertex is our Official Sponsor- so make sure to get started with them now for stellar yields and 50+ perps & spot markets on their site at app.vertexprotocol.com! And make sure to follow them on Twitter for more updates!
