Another Vortex bid for Hydro!
The @jurisprotocol team wants to deploy ATOM into the JURIS/ATOM pool on @osmosis.
Vortex enables Hydro to deploy liquidity into pools paired with a token provided by the bidder, while protecting Hydro’s position from impermanent loss.

A cool proposal was uploaded recently on @cosmoshub forum by @hodlmastermeto.
It's a prop for deploying $USDC from the Hub Community Pool via Hydro to DeFi apps in Cosmos (the Hub still owns the funds).
👉 Better liquidity for DeFi
👉 Yield generation for the Hub

The @elys_network team has placed a bid, currently with the highest APR in this round! 🌊
It's to deploy liquidity to their ATOM Earn Vault. If you've locked ATOM into Hydro, you can vote and earn ELYS tokens at 93% APR!
As always, this is on top of your ATOM staking APR ⚛️

In January, our team received the equivalent of $975,000 in ATOMs from the Hub community pool to build the Hydro protocol. We want to make sure that the investment pays off ! Our first goal is to give every $ back to ATOM stakers via tributes - about $14K distributed during pilot rounds so far.

Our friends at @elys_network just placed the first atomic bids on Hydro!
They’re bidding for both ATOM and USDC to be deployed into a single ATOM/USDC pool on Elys Network. This is our first test with atomic bids. We’re calling it “atomic” because the bids will either succeed or fail together.
Currently the only two tokens that Hydro has available to deploy are ATOM and USDC, but we’re working to expand this to many other high-demand assets, and atomic bids are a powerful tool that enables Hydro to deploy nearly any combination of tokens.

Eureka is a big deal for Hydro!
We will be able to start deploying ATOM to @ethereum and other EVM chains.
This means that EVM DeFi protocols will be able to bid for ATOM and USDC liquidity on Hydro, bringing value back to ATOM stakers and improving ATOM liquidity everywhere.
Hello Ethereum! Meet @IBCProtocol and @cosmoshub:

Hydro Governance has officially given @cosmoshub control over all of Hydro’s DAOs.
The Hub now has the ability to directly execute any approved proposal through Interchain Accounts:
🔹claw back funds
🔹add or remove committee members
🔹unfreeze lockups
🔹and so on
This is a commitment the Hydro Team made in our funding proposal in January and we’re happy to be honoring it.

Nolus requests 5,000 ATOM for their ATOM Lending Pool with a 3-month deployment and tribute paid in $NLS. Additional bids are in progress, and new entrants may join mid or late-round.
During Round 4, we will also launch the Hydro governance module, giving ATOM holders more control over protocol decisions.

Last month, Hydro deployed ATOM and USDC into a pool on @elys_network. This was the first “atomic bid” on Hydro, a bid for two tokens at the same time.
A pool like this involving one stable and one volatile token can experience impermanent loss if the market shifts (although Hydro is always protected by Vortex or collateral, so it doesn’t have to bear that cost). But in the case of Elys, not only was there no IL, but it resulted in an 18% APR!
That’s because Elys’ smart-shielded pools collect slippage from swaps, and redistribute it to liquidity providers. Congrats Elys, your model worked for us!

Hydro’s first Vortex bid is live! 🌪️
Vortex bids allow Hydro to deploy liquidity into DEX pools by pairing its assets with those provided by protocols. The Vortex mechanism safeguards the Hub’s ATOM by automatically withdrawing liquidity if the pool becomes too unbalanced, and liquidating a portion of the paired asset in order to restore Hydro’s position.
We’re grateful to the @archwayHQ team for being the first team trying Vortex with us! ATOM from Hydro will be paired with their ARCH in a new ATOM/ARCH pool on @osmosiszone. If it goes well, this bid will open the door to many more Vortex deployments in the future.

Hydro’s next lockup cap increase is coming soon! New users will be able to lock ATOM into Hydro, start voting on liquidity deployments, and earn rewards.
The cap increase will use Floodgate, a new feature designed to protect Hydro against bots and target specific users. For this one, our target will be loyal ATOM stakers that didn’t get a chance to lock into Hydro yet.
If you had at least 50 ATOM staked on April 11, 2024 (which is the day the Partial Set Security proposal passed), you will have a full 24 hours to lock into Hydro.
Afterwards, if there is still space left, all Floodgate restrictions will be lifted and anyone will be able to lock up.
If there is no space left, you can try out again at the next cap increase, which will likely have a very different whitelist criteria 👀

How does Vortex enable Cosmos projects to pair their tokens with ATOM while protecting the position from impermanent loss?
It creates a concentrated liquidity position, using its own ATOM paired with another token provided by a bidder.
If the position starts to become imbalanced with much more of the other token than ATOM, Vortex will withdraw the liquidity and liquidate a portion of the other token in order to restore Hydro’s original ATOM amount.
As long as the two tokens move together relative to the market, liquidation will not be necessary, and the deployment will end with the bidder getting back the same amount of tokens that they put in.
Vortex allows bidders to get deep ATOM liquidity to pair with their token, improving their token’s availability and spread for traders, as well as ATOM-alignment.

Some new year updates for the Hydro community!
1️⃣ Hydro’s development is on pause! We’ll post our governance proposal early next week, and the team will be in a holding pattern as we await the results. If approved, our mandate as official Hub stewards maintaining Hydro would begin around January 20th.
2️⃣ Round 3 is scheduled to start tomorrow. It will have some active bids, although likely less than usual due to the vacations and the fact that Hydro product development is paused. Bids will be added as they are ready, and we’ll share updates as soon as they’re live.
3️⃣ There are no scheduled cap increases at the start of this round. Cap increases have been decoupled from the round start and are enacted by the Hydro Committee, who have not yet coordinated to see if caps will increase during Round 3.
4️⃣ We are excited to release the Metrics & Rewards pages soon! These were largely developed before the Christmas vacations, and the team will take time to push them out. As mentioned previously, the rewards page will display user rewards, but the claiming process will be disabled for the time being as we work on improving the experience.
Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for Hydro!💧

Thanks for the shout out @Cito_Zone! He's right, Hydro is an excellent way to earn additional APR on your staked ATOM ⚛️
If you haven’t tried it, join our Telegram and watch for "lock-up capacity" notifications - space is limited and in high demand!

Hydro is a gamified way for projects to bid for ATOM liquidity & soon USDC liquidity, thanks to @HydroTeam_ 🎉 👏
Not only will this generate more APR for your liquid stake ATOM, but it will also generate a revenue model for ATOM itself 😎

Hydro’s deployment on @mars_protocol is earning ~60% APY
Impressive demand for ATOM borrowing!
Community pool funds are hard to work
@HydroTeam_'s $ATOM PoL on Mars is currently yielding an impressive ~60% APY!
With a $3.02M deposit cap nearly maxed out and ~83% utilization, demand is sky-high. This kind of yield won’t stick around forever, take a look while it’s hot 🔴

The next Hydro lockup cap increase will happen sometime on Wednesday, July 2 🗓️
This cap increase will use a new feature called "Floodgate” to prioritize ATOM stakers who missed earlier lockups: if you had 50+ ATOM staked on April 11, 2024 (the date of the PSS proposal) , you’ll get 24 hours of priority access to lock in.
Once that window closes, any remaining spots will open to the public. If it fills up, don’t worry, there will be many more cap increases to come!
