1. vDOT is now available as a collateral on the Hydration lending platform
Hydration now supports vDOT from Bifrost as collateral or for borrowing, opening up new DeFi opportunities. 15 hours after launching, the cap for vDOT has been reached. As a result, Borrow & Supply on Hydration has surpassed 10M TVL.
eUsers can also activate E-mode to optimize their strategies: lend vDOT, borrow DOT, mint vDOT, and re-lend it, creating a loop to increase APR. While these strategies can amplify returns, they also come with risks.
Explore your options and start leveraging vDOT today at hydration.net.
