#Berachain has been performing well despite current market conditions. The second phase of its airdrop is now behind us and $BERA has been trading above $8.
Stride Zone has recently partnered with Kodiak Finance, top DEX on Berachain which at the moment this article is being written actually has a higher TVL than BEX itself, and this brought us a whole panoply of opportunities in DeFi.
Taking a quick look at Stride Zone's vaults that will earn you stBGT — which is liquid and therefore, tradable and readily available to be used in DeFi as well — it’s like going into a candy shop (or a wine cellar, if that’s your thing).
APRs can be as high as 960% for some pairs but I was definitely drawn into stables’ pairs earning like nowhere else. There are plenty of choices and I would advise you to do your own research about these tokens and to distribute your capital with some caution (wouldn’t go all in into a brand new stable coin on any chain, no matter how safe it might look like).
But maybe even more interesting is the fact that you can now earn points for the upcoming 200k $USDC #Airdrop and stBGT on top, by simply providing stBGT/BERA liquidity on Kodiak instead of Bera Hub. Trading fees have also been higher due to the crazy demand inflow (and availability of zap function which makes adding liquidity much easier and user friendly with little slippage) so in the end, your APR is currently sitting at 286% against the still juicy 75% on Bera Hub.
You can also see the breakdown of all those rewards so that you know exactly what you’re getting.
Last but not the least, make sure that — as with Bera Hub — you don’t stake your LP tokens after adding liquidity on Kodiak Finance so that you can do it with Stride Zone, unless you want to earn a much lower yield in an untransferable and illiquid token like BGT.
Just make sure you go back to your tab on Stride Zone to stake your LP tokens with them (2 transactions required) and that’s it!
