Bitflow’s Pool Migration: Steps for a Rewarding Transition

If you’re a participant in Bitflow’s liquidity pools and looking to migrate, follow these steps to ensure a smooth transition and maximize your rewards:

1. Reclaim LP Tokens

Note: If you are not currently providing Liquidity or Escrowing in any pool that requires migrations you may not see balances in Beta Pools.

  • Action: Check your Bitflow account for any available LP tokens.

Note: If no LP tokens are available, check if they are Actively Earning, and wait for the next unlock cycle.

  • Continue: Actively earning LP tokens? Don’t worry, you are still credited for 5x points per day, plus additional rewards from trading fees.

2. Removing LP Tokens

  • Action: Withdraw your liquidity by selecting the maximum amount of LP tokens on the withdraw portion of the Beta pool page
  • Purpose: Exchange the LP tokens for the equivalent amount of tokens that make up the trading pair.

3. Claim Available Rewards

  • Action: Ensure to claim any accrued rewards during the beta phase.

4. Unlock Beta Points: Add Liquidity to Active Pools

  • Action: Provide liquidity to the active liquidity pools
  • Get 2.5 points per day on StackingDAO for providing Liquidity to stSTX-STX Pool

5. Escrow for Additional Rewards

  • Action: Escrow your LP tokens for the active pools on the Earn page.
  • Escrow Point System described below
  • Additional Rewards: Continue earning trading fees as rewards.

How to Earn Points

Currently, you can earn liquidity points through escrowing (a.k.a. staking) your LP Tokens on the Earn page of the app. Points for referrals and additional DeFi activities are coming soon.

Price Multipliers:

USD Pools: 1 Point/Day

STX Pools: 2 Points/Day

BTC Pools: 50,000 Points/Day

Cycle Multipliers:

Active Pools on Public Mainnet

  • 4x Per Day / LP Token Escrowed (First 30 Cycles)
  • 3x Per Day / LP Token Escrowed (Cycles #31–60)
  • 2x Per Day / LP Token Escrowed (Cycles #61–90)
  • 1x Per Day / LP Token Escrowed (Cycles #90+)

Example 2: If you escrowed 100 STX-stSTX-LP Tokens for the first 30 cycles (each cycle is ~1 Day), you’ll earn 24,000 Points

(100 x 2pts) x (30 days) x 4X Multiplier

(100 x 1pts) x (30 days) x 4X Multiplier

Example 4: If you escrowed 100 STX-stSTX-LP Tokens for 90 cycles (each cycle is ~1 Day), you’ll earn 54,000 Points

(100 x 2pts) x (30 days) x 4X Multiplier = 24,000

(100 x 2pts) x (30 days) x 3X Multiplier = 18,000

(100 x 2pts) x (30 days) x 2X Multiplier = 12,000

Beta Pools on Private Mainnet:

  • 5x Per Day / LP Token Escrowed

Example 1: If you escrowed 100 STX-stSTX-LP Tokens for 30 days, you made 30,000 Points
