Smart Contracts & Integrations
Liquidity Mining Distribution Contracts
- Merkle Redeem/Orchard
- MerkleRedeem is catching on
- Soon we’ll have Merkle Orchard to consolidate these Redeem contracts all to one contract (per network)
- StakingDistributor
- Will make this push after MerkleOrchard
Linear Pools
- Nothing worth sharing; on time to be finished
- Audits happening
Managed Pools
- Techemy, WSBDapp deployed on mainnet
- Sorting out a few things on the UI but generally going smoothly
- General expected Managed Pool usage
- Deployed pool is not meant to be used in isolation, but rather should be paired with a management contract
- Pools will not be considered “safe” by default until their management contracts are inspected (UI allowlist, for example)
- Deployed pool is not meant to be used in isolation, but rather should be paired with a management contract
