🤝Partner Farms

  • Farm: PLN + AVAX
  • Earn: JOE + PLN

Users have been able to Farm $PLN Tokens to use on the Pollen DeFi platform which has its beta version releasing in the coming days.

Introducing: noJOE farms

Launched in collaboration with OlympusDao and Frax, noJOE farms will be allocated to partner protocols offering fully-funded, single rewards on the platform, without $JOE rewards. You can currently find noJOE farms in the Farmers Market, however, they will shortly be migrated to occupy their own section of the UI.

  • Farm: AVAX + FRAX — Earn: FRAX
  • Farm: FRAX + gOHM — Earn: gOHM

Rocket Joe

Rocket Joe is a liquidity launch platform, that enables participating users to earn issuing protocol tokens through a fair market price discovery mechanism and allows the issuing protocol to acquire protocol-owned liquidity (POL). The JOE Token ecosystem will expand to facilitate the implementation of Rocket Joe and users on the platform will be able to Stake JOE to earn ‘allocation credits’ toward Rocket Joe launches.

Rocket Joe will redefine how protocols launch on Avalanche

  • DeFi 2.0 — Launchpad for POL
  • Complementary to all existing launchpads
  • Goodbye to bot snipers causing volatility
  • Users stake $JOE to enter launches
  • Permissionless
