Basis Cash is expanding to Binance Smart Chain
vFARM Pools Launch at 2pm UTC 4/29
BAC-BUSD 80/20 pool will earn 0.3x vBSWAP
BASv2-BNB 60/40 pool will earn 0.1x vBSWAP
vBSWAP can be staked to earn 400 BASv2/week
As part of our ongoing mission to expand the Basis Cash Ecosystem, we are excited to announce a partnership with Value DeFi on Binance Smart Chain!
Value DeFi offers a wide array of DeFi legos: yield aggregator with multi-strategy yield-optimizers for maximum returns; low slippage stablecoin and pegged assets swap; an AMM built on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain with integrated DEX aggregator for advanced trade routing with minimal slippage; a liquidity farming platform that can create pools with flexible ratio pairs. They currently have over $850M in TVL on BSC.
As the first stage of our BSC rollout, we will launch 2 vFARM pools in order to bring BAC and BAS liquidity to BSC and facilitate trading.
LPs will be able to earn BAS + vBSWAP!
BAC-BUSD 80/20 pool will earn 0.3x vBSWAP
BASv2-BNB 60/40 pool will earn 0.1x vBSWAP
vBSWAP can be staked to earn 400 BASv2/week
High gas fees on Ethereum have made DeFi unaffordable for small investors, and for Basis Cash to ultimately thrive as a stablecoin, we must foster adoption across the broadest possible user base. BSC offers fast, cheap transactions and the market response has been astonishing, with TVL rising over 30x in the last 3 months.
We can’t wait to introduce the original Algorithmic Stablecoin to the BSC community. It represents a huge untapped market for us, and we already know that BSC users are fans of algo stables, given the proliferation of countless forks of Basis Cash there.
How do I send my BAC and BASv2 to BSC?
Step 1 : Set up the Binance Smart Chain network on Metamask
If this is your first time using BSC, you’ll need to configure your Metamask wallet to connect to the BSC network. Follow the guide from Binance:
Our farms will be listed under ‘Official Value DeFi’ when they launch at 2pm UTC 4/29
The procedure for adding liquidity and staking is identical to that on Ethereum. Click on the farm of your choice (BAC-BUSD or BASv2-BNB) and add liquidity through the UI and stake your LP tokens. A step-by-step guide can be found here (refer to Parts 4 and 5):
That’s it! Your LP position will start earning vBSWAP
Stake your vBSWAP rewards (located under vStake) to earn more BASv2!
