Introduction
As we approach the launch of our highly anticipated Liquid Loan (previously known as Liquid Crowdloan), it’s important to remember that this event is not our ultimate goal but a significant step towards the introduction of our next ground breaking products. Each of these products will leverage the power of the ALGM token and further enhance the Algem ecosystem. Let’s take a closer look at what’s coming next.
Upcoming products after the Liquid Loan
Liquid Farming
Liquid Farming is a DeFi mechanism that extends the concept of liquid staking by allowing users to farm yield on AMMs while remaining liquid with the help of liquid lf-tokens (eg. lfETH).
How it works:
- Liquidity Provision: Users provide liquidity by depositing ETH and another ERC20 token into a supported pair on an AMM.
- Vaults: Users then lock their LP tokens into different vaults, each with varying expiration dates and incentive levels.
- lfETH Tokens: The vault mints liquid tokens (lfETH) equal to the supplied ETH, which can be traded, used as collateral, or held until expiration.
- Rewards: Users earn ALGM incentives and farming rewards, which are distributed based on their share of liquidity in the vault and their participation in the ALGM staking pool.
The product status: Liquid Farming has been developed and audited and we are now working on final tests before the launch.
Liquid Staking V2
Liquid Staking V2 is a significant upgrade to our previous liquid staking model, introducing a new liquid token and solving several issues from the older version.
How it works:
- Staking and Minting: Users stake their ASTR and receive liquid xnASTR tokens, which automatically accumulate staking rewards.
- Unstaking Options: Users can unstake through regular or immediate options, with varying wait times and fees.
- Voting Mechanism: Users can vote on which dApps their staked ASTR should support, using veALGM tokens acquired through ALGM staking.
- Cashback System: A cashback mechanism allows users to receive a portion of the staking management fee back, enhancing their returns.
This update enhances user flexibility, ensures seamless integration with DeFi dApps, introduces new features like automatic reward accumulation and provides a robust voting mechanism.
The product status: Liquid Staking V2 has been developed and audited and is now ready for launch.
The differences between Liquid Staking V2 and V1.5 (current version)
- Main difference: A new liquid token called xnASTR will be introduced. This will be a reward-bearing token in the OFT format from LayerZero. Users will no longer need to claim rewards every era; instead, the rewards will be reflected in the price of the xnASTR token.
- As a result, there will no longer be a need to use adapters either (intermediate contracts) between Algem and DeFi partners (such as Sio2).
- Another significant update will be the addition of a voting system, where users will have the opportunity to vote for applications in which ASTR tokens will be staked.
ALGM Staking
ALGM Staking is designed to distribute Algem’s revenue among token holders and represents a crucial use case for the ALGM token.
How it works:
- Revenue Sharing: ALGM stakers receive a portion of the revenue generated from Algem’s fees (such as liquid staking and farming fees).
- Locking Period: To participate, users must stake and lock their ALGM tokens for a period of up to 60 days.
- Governance Participation: Stakers receive veALGM tokens, enabling them to participate in governance voting and influence key decisions within the ecosystem.
This product enhances the value proposition of ALGM by providing token holders with a share of the platform’s revenue, thus creating a sustainable demand for the token.
The product status: the ALGM Staking contract has been developed and audited and is ready for launch.
These three products are fully developed, have undergone comprehensive security audits and are now ready for launch. For more detailed information, please refer to our whitepaper.

About Algem
Algem is a decentralized application built on the Astar Network and offers two main features: liquid staking and liquid farming. As their names suggest, these two options let ASTR holders keep their assets liquid while putting them to work. Also, the liquid staking and farming solutions let users use Algem’s liquid nASTR tokens across Astar’s Defi ecosystem to earn staking rewards and make more money. In doing so, Algem supports other Defi protocols by providing liquidity and creating a sustainable and cooperative ecosystem on the Astar Network and Polkadot.
