Bifrost - Staking Yield Layer

Nearly 1M DOT minted into vDOT in one week.

The demand is coming from DeFi. On @hydration_net, users borrow DOT against their vDOT and mint more vDOT with it.

Each loop adds staking exposure on top of the rewards vDOT already earns.

With Acala preparing to wind down, we'd like to remind the LDOT holders to plan ahead for their withdrawals.

Around 1.92M DOT remains staked through LDOT. Please remember to unbond by Jan 12, 2027, or Dec 16, 2026 if your LDOT is validator-locked.

For those looking to continue staking DOT, vDOT offers optimized staking yield and faster exits 👉 app.bifrost.io

What if your $DOT could earn staking rewards and still work for you in DeFi?

With vDOT, your DOT earns 4.64% staking APY while remaining usable as collateral on @hydration_net.

Borrow DOT at 1.74% APR, mint more vDOT, and repeat to potentially amplify your staking returns.

One whale recently minted 369K vDOT with over 616K DOT in a single day, then moved it to Hydration.

Same DOT exposure. More ways to earn.

Total staked $DOT just hit a new ATH of 922M.

With more DOT being staked than ever, where you stake makes a difference.

vDOT currently yields 4.43% APY, compared with 2.81% from direct staking.

For every 10,000 DOT staked, that’s roughly 162 extra DOT in annual rewards, or 57.7% more at current rates.

More yield with same underlying DOT.
