As we bid farewell to September, it's time to reflect on an extraordinary month for Velar and the broader Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem. From groundbreaking partnerships to innovative product launches, September was marked by significant milestones that have set the stage for an exciting future. Let's dive into the key highlights that made this month truly remarkable.

Strategic Partnerships Expanding Our Reach

Xverse Integration: Bringing Velar to Your Wallet

We kicked off the month with a game-changing announcement: an exclusive partnership with Xverse, one of Bitcoin's leading wallets. This collaboration brought Velar Dharma's AMM directly into the Xverse app, powering all in-wallet STX swaps. For our users, this means unprecedented access to deep liquidity and efficient trades, all from the comfort of their preferred wallet. This integration represents a significant step in our mission to make DeFi more accessible and user-friendly.

Hermetica Collaboration: Introducing USDh to Stacks

In a move that further solidifies our position as a cornerstone of the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem, we partnered with Hermetica Finance to bring USDh to the Stacks network. As the primary liquidity hub for this innovative BTC-backed synthetic dollar, Velar is once again at the forefront of expanding DeFi capabilities on Bitcoin. The launch of the USDh<>aeUSDC pool on our platform, complete with attractive rewards for early liquidity providers, marks another milestone in our journey to create a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem on Bitcoin.

Product Innovations: Setting New Standards

Velar Artha PerpDex: Revolutionizing Bitcoin Trading

September saw the unveiling of our most ambitious project yet: Velar Artha PerpDex, the world's first Perpetual Decentralized Exchange on Bitcoin. This innovative platform introduces pool-based liquidity and dynamic fees to the world of Bitcoin derivatives trading. The launch of the Beta Mainnet on Build on Bitcoin (BOB) was met with enthusiasm from our community, offering features like up to 10x leverage, Bitcoin finality, and non-custodial security. This launch represents not just a new product, but a new paradigm in Bitcoin-native financial instruments.

Enhanced Farming Rewards: Boosting Community Engagement

In response to our growing community and increasing platform activity, we updated our Farming Rewards structure. The new system includes increased rewards for top TVL pools, Velar pairs, and introduced exciting surprise pools. This update is designed to reward our most active users and attract new liquidity providers, further deepening our market depth and enhancing the overall trading experience on Velar.

Community and Market Presence

Leading in User Engagement

We were thrilled to see Velar leading the charts in user engagement throughout September. This metric is a testament to the vibrant community we're building and the value our platform brings to the Bitcoin DeFi space. Your active participation drives us to continually improve and innovate.

$VELAR Listed on BitMart

The listing of $VELAR on BitMart Exchange marked another significant milestone. This listing not only increases the accessibility of our token but also exposes Velar to a broader audience of crypto enthusiasts and traders. It's a step towards greater liquidity and adoption of our ecosystem.

'The Meme' Spaces: Fostering Community Discussions

Our monthly 'The Meme' Spaces event continued to be a hit, featuring special guest Skullcoin along with other notable figures in the Stacks ecosystem. These events have become a cornerstone of our community engagement strategy, providing a platform for open discussions, idea sharing, and community bonding.

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on the achievements of September, we're even more excited about what the future holds. The partnerships formed, products launched, and community bonds strengthened this month have laid a solid foundation for Velar's continued growth and innovation in the Bitcoin DeFi space.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our amazing community for your unwavering support and active participation. Your enthusiasm and feedback drive us to push the boundaries of what's possible in Bitcoin DeFi.
