[Ed. note: This will be the last edition of this weekly update for 2021. Crypto never sleeps but, alas, the contributors to this newsletter must. Looking forward to continuing to deliver the latest in Vesper news after the start of the year.]
Now In Beta: Vesper Earn on Polygon
Vesper Earn is expanding onto the Polygon network, less than a week after the full launch! Now in beta, users can deposit DAI and earn yield in either WETH or WBTC while benefiting from Polygon’s lower network fees.
This marks another step in Vesper’s vision for a multi-chain DeFi world. Vesper plans to expand to additional EVM chains and Layer-2 networks (e.g., Avalanche, Arbitrum, or Fantom) in the future.
You can follow this progress on the Vesper Roadmap page.
Vesper Joins Index Coop AMA
Vesper co-founder Jeff Garzik joined the Index Coop community for an AMA on all-things Vesper. The conversation covered topics ranging from the inspiration for creating Vesper to what’s ahead for the platform.
For those who couldn’t join, a recording will be available soon.
Vesper Earn in DeFi Pulse Farmer
The most recent edition of DeFi Pulse Farmer featured Vesper Earn!
From the newsletter:
Vesper Finance just introduced Vesper Season Two, and at the heart of that rollout is the launch of Vesper Earn on the main Vesper app.
Vesper Earn does DeFi in a new way, namely via programmable yield. In other words, users can deposit one crypto into this system, like ETH, and earn yield in another crypto, like DAI.
This is an unprecedented yield format, and it opens up interesting possibilities for farmers. For example, you can deposit DAI to buy DPI daily without having to sell your underlying holdings!
Dive Deeper into Vesper Earn
Vesper Earn launched last week with a first-of-its-kind capability in DeFi — deposit one asset, earn yield in another.
Here’s how it works:
