4x ADA Yield Streams (ELI5)

  • update and verify yield fields
  • update and verify revenue fields
  • update and verify risk

1. Stake ADA

Default ADA staking as provided by Cardano. Optional and not related to, nor required for, any of the Liqwid examples below.

  • Yields: ADA
  • Revenue: 5%
  • How: delegate to one of the Cardano SPOs using Daedalus or Yoroi
  • Risk: risk-free

2. Lend ADA

Lend/deposit ADA assets to Liqwid to become a Liqwid lender. For every 1 ADA you will receive 1 qADA. The value of qADA rises as borrowers pay back interest on their loan over time. This rise in value can be redeemed by trading back qADA for ADA.

  • Yields: qADA
  • Revenue: variable APY per epoch based on protocol generated revenue
  • How: use the Liqwid app (once it becomes available)
  • Risk: t.b.d. (awaiting security audits)

3. Stake qADA

Stake qADA received during above step

  • Yields: LQ
  • Revenue: variable APY per epoch based on protocol generated revenue
  • How: use the Liqwid app (once it becomes available)
  • Risk: t.b.d. (awaiting security audits)

4. Stake LQ

Stake LQ yielded by above step.

  • Yields: asset deposited (ADA)
  • Revenue: % of borrower interest repaid
  • How: use the Liqwid app (once it becomes available)
  • Risk: t.b.d. (awaiting security audits)

This is amazing and is easily digestable to even the most novice investors in crypto.

We should also take time to define some of the potential risks in staking qAda and staking LQ. Just putting not risk-free might scare people off since they would not know what kind of risks there are.

@pmburu89 thanks, exactly who this is targeting... novice investors.

Hope I can get some help in filling in the revenue and risk fields.
