We are pleased to announce significant enhancements to the BitFlow Earn contracts for all USD and BTC pairs.

Aimed at optimizing your rewards for a better earning experience and enhanced security, we have launched a new version of our Earn Contracts (staking) for the following pairs:

  • USDC<>sUSDT
  • USDA<>sUSDT
  • aBTC<>xBTC
  • USDA-USDC

Introduction of New Earn Contracts for USD/BTC Rewards Pools:

We launched a new version of our Earn contracts that now enables estimated APY and LP token emission rewards. This update is part of our commitment to improving usability, liquidity and optimizing your earning potential.

Security Enhancements:

Thanks to our proactive bug bounty program with Immunefi, we recently identified, validated and swiftly mitigated a potential security vulnerability within our Earn (Staking) contracts for USD and BTC pairs. We care deeply about the security of our users’ funds, and we want to be clear that no losses occurred during this migration.

Note: The STX<>stSTX pair was completely unimpacted and out of scope for this security upgrade.

LP and Rewards Distribution:

All LP tokens in Escrow were successfully unlocked from previous contracts and returned to users’ wallets, along with any unclaimed rewards, to ensure full control and security of your assets during the migration process.

What This Upgrade Means for You:

More Rewards + More Security. The Bitflow Earn contracts are fully operational, and emissions will resume in the next 1–2 cycles. Your LP tokens have been returned to your wallets, and are sitting idle. Use Bitflow Escrow (Staking) to earn higher yield than ever before, and double up with additional BFF points. Rest assured, all your previous liquidity points remain intact.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
