Both Avail and Sophon Communities now have more reasons to celebrate the recent partnership announcement between Avail and Sophon. This new initiative will give the community a chance to benefit from this partnership directly.
AVAIL stakers can now benefit from multiple rewards, including native AVAIL APY, Deq Points, and exclusive incentives through Sophon's farm mechanics, starting with the launch of the stAVAIL pool on farm.sophon.xyz.
What Is the Sophon Farm?
Sophon's farm offers an early opportunity for eligible Avail community members to participate in the Sophon ecosystem, enabling them to earn rewards while supporting the project's growth. By staking stAVAIL tokens on the farm, eligible participants earn Sophon Points (SP) and have the chance to boost their deposits for additional rewards.
The farm is currently available on Ethereum mainnet, as the Sophon network is yet to launch. In the second phase of farming, farmers will be able to migrate their holdings to Sophon mainnet and access additional opportunities to earn SP. For more details, visit the Sophon farm documentation.
Benefits for AVAIL Stakers
Staking stAVAIL in the newly launched pool offers a range of benefits to stakers:
- AVAIL Native APY via Deq.fi: Earn auto-compounding AVAIL rewards via native APY.
- Deq Points: Earn Deq Points by minting and holding stAVAIL.
- Sophon Points (SP): Earn SP through Sophon's farm, making you eligible for a future SOPH incentive program.
- Additional stAVAIL rewards: Earn extra stAVAIL rewards by staking in the Sophon pool.
This reward structure provides multiple streams of rewards beyond the standard AVAIL APY.
Boost Your Earnings with stAVAIL Boosters (Optional)
You can amplify your earnings through Boosters, which multiply SP earnings. Boosters can be activated during deposit or after staking, however please be aware that this will permanently lock your stAVAIL tokens, making them unusable for future activities or rewards on Sophon, or anywhere else.
Activating a booster involves permanently allocating a portion, or all of your deposited assets to provide liquidity on Sophon mainnet, making the committed assets non-withdrawable, forever.
For more details, see Sophon’s Boosts documentation.
