How to Earn on the Hydration Platform: The Second Wave of Farming is Here!
Hello, friends! Today I’m excited to share some great news from the Hydration platform—the launch of the second wave of farming incentives. This is a fantastic opportunity to increase your earnings, and I’ll break down exactly how it works and the current rates you can take advantage of.
1. What is the Second Wave of Farming?
Hydration has just launched the second wave of liquidity farming incentives for participants in Omnipool. If you missed the first wave or want to reinvest your assets, now is the perfect time to get involved. This new wave brings changes to the reward distribution, allowing you to earn even more on the most successful pools.
Key Changes in the Second Wave:
• Increased rewards for assets such as ASTR, GLMR, and PHA.
• Decreased rewards for less successful assets like CFG, INTR, and KILT, to improve farming efficiency for all participants.
2. Current Pool Rates
Here are the current farming rates for the second wave:
• 2-Pool (USDT/USDC): 22.27%
• ASTR: 45%
• GLMR: 41.84%
• PHA: 66.22%
• CFG: 33.31%
• INTR: 26.83%
• BNC: 29.5%
• KILT: 25.6%
As you can see, assets like PHA and ASTR offer especially high returns, which is great considering the current market conditions. This is a fantastic opportunity to invest in assets that are yielding strong returns during the second wave of farming.
3. How Do Rates Change Over Time?
It’s important to note that as more participants join the pool and more liquidity is added, the rates may decrease. This is a normal process—rates start high but gradually decrease as liquidity grows. If you’re planning to join, it’s better to do so in the early stages of the second wave to maximize your rewards.
4. How to Start Farming in the Second Wave
For those looking to take part in this new farming wave, it’s easy to get started:
1. Sign up on the Hydration platform and fund your wallet using the cross-chain bridge.
2. Add liquidity to the pool of your choice (for example, 2-Pool USDT/USDC or ASTR).
3. Activate farming and start earning based on your chosen pool.
Don’t forget about the yield curve! The longer you hold your assets in the pool, the higher your returns will be. Initially, the percentage might be lower, but it increases over time.
5. Earn More Passively: Hydration’s Referral Program
In addition to farming, Hydration offers an excellent opportunity to boost your earnings through the referral program. The referral system allows you to earn cashback not only on your own trades but also on trades made by your referrals.
Here’s how it works:
• You can get up to 13% cashback on every trade made on the platform.
• Use your referral link and invite friends to earn even more.
The referral program is a great way to increase your earnings, even if you’re not ready to invest large amounts.

6. Additional Updates in the Second Wave
In the coming days, two new farms will be launched: vASTR and MYTH/DOT, providing even more opportunities for participants in the second wave. Stay tuned so you don’t miss out on these pools!
In conclusion, the second wave of farming on the Hydration platform offers participants a chance to earn high returns and manage their assets effectively. If you want to take advantage of farming, the referral program, and the upcoming new farms, now is the perfect time to join the platform.

The first round of farming on the Polkadot Hydration platform has been extended for another two weeks. Users still have the opportunity to add liquidity and earn yields ranging from 10% to 77% APR.
How to Join
Participating is incredibly simple with Hydration’s innovative single-sided liquidity provision system. Users can earn rewards by providing liquidity for just one asset, such as DOT, vDOT, USDT, USDC, GLMR, ASTR, PHA, and others. No more need to provide a pair of assets.
On the Hydration platform, you can also pay transaction fees using any asset, and bridging liquidity from Ethereum is seamless.
To get started, follow this referral link. Using this link will not only grant you access but also provide you with additional rewards through the referral program.
The second round of Polkadot Hydration farming is expected to launch in approximately two weeks. Follow updates to stay informed about the launch.
Discussions on the 2nd Batch of Polkadot Hydration Campaign Incentives Continue
The ongoing discussions about the second batch of Polkadot Hydration Campaign Incentives have sparked a lively debate within the community. Key issues revolve around redistributing incentives to high-liquidity assets like ASTR and DOT, while the necessity of supporting Bifrost tokens raises questions.
ZTG, with low liquidity on centralized exchanges, has become a focal point. Some argue for reducing its incentives, while others believe Omnipool liquidity is crucial for its price stability.
The discussion also touches on assets like iBTC, where price distortion has led to calls for reduced incentives. While some users see the MYTH/DOT pool as strategically important, they recommend limiting its rewards due to sufficient liquidity.
Highlights from the comments:
1. @7KAT…UuAc: Supports reallocating incentives to high-liquidity assets but expresses doubts about increasing support for Bifrost tokens. They argue that ZTG does not need special treatment as it already has the lowest incentives.
2. @Giraffe: Adds that large sales of ZTG by investors could create risks for Omnipool, but without its liquidity, ZTG’s price could drop even further. Suggests reallocating incentives to more effective assets.
3. @7N8U…r2sb: Asks for clarification on why ZTG needs special treatment and suggests increasing incentives to attract buyers. Notes that team members adding liquidity is not a negative factor.
4. @spazcoin: Calls for reduced incentives for iBTC due to price distortion and supports additional incentives for MYTH/DOT, though with minimal rewards.
These discussions highlight the complexity of balancing risk and liquidity in DeFi ecosystems, where incentive structures must evolve to reflect the shifting dynamics of liquidity and asset performance.

“Hydration: Working on Protocol Enhancements and Launching New Features”
In recent weeks, the Hydration team has been actively working on enhancing their protocol and implementing new features. One of the main tasks is launching the Yield DCA function, HOLLAR, expanding the list of assets available for trading, and improving Omnipool’s performance. The project was also recently recognized by the official Polkadot Twitter account, affirming its leadership in the ecosystem.
1. Work on Yield DCA Launch:
• One of the most active developments is the Yield DCA function, which will use assets such as sUSDe from Ethena Labs and sDAI from MakerDAO.
• Hydration CEO Jakub Gregus noted that these assets will not only be part of the treasury but also important non-inflationary sources of income for users, allowing them to safely accumulate BTC and ETH.
• “If enough people and capital participate, it could positively impact the entire market,” added Jakub Gregus.
You can read the publication at the link.
2. Addition of New Asset NCTR:
• NCTR has become an asset available for trading on Hydration, joining over 60 other assets on the platform.
• NCTR is used by the Apillon platform, which provides access to Web3 services related to Polkadot parachains.
• It’s important to note that NCTR has not been added to Omnipool but uses Hydration’s unique functionality, allowing tokens to be pulled through the Asset Hub, providing flexibility and new opportunities for users.
You can read the publication at the link.
3. Launch of vASTR:
• vASTR, the liquid staking form of ASTR from Astar Network, is now available for trading on Hydration.
• Users can easily exchange vASTR for over 60 other assets.
• vASTR has become the second liquid staking token added to Omnipool, and additional use cases are expected in the future.
You can read the publication at the link.
4. Record TVL in Omnipool:
• Omnipool’s TVL (Total Value Locked) on Hydration has reached an all-time high, tripling over the past few months.
• Omnipool combines all assets into a single pool, allowing users to deposit just one asset and earn income while significantly increasing operational efficiency.
• Users can make large trades with ease thanks to this functionality.
You can read the publication at the link.
5. Recognition from Polkadot:
• The official Polkadot Twitter account dedicated a post to the Hydration project, highlighting its mission and key achievements.
• This recognition underscores Hydration’s leadership among exchange applications in the Polkadot ecosystem.
• You can read the publication at the link.
Hydration continues to actively develop and improve its protocol by implementing new features such as Yield DCA and expanding the list of supported assets. The record TVL in Omnipool and recognition from Polkadot confirm the success of these efforts.

Hydration Revises Asset Weights in Omnipool to Optimize Liquidity
Significant changes are planned within the Hydration ecosystem: Proposal #210 has been published on the Subsquare platform to update the weight caps in Omnipool—the project’s central liquidity pool.
Objective of the Proposal
The proposal aims to optimize liquidity distribution and enhance the pool’s efficiency by adjusting the weight caps for several assets.
Proposed Updates to Asset Weight Caps in Omnipool:
• DOT: reduction from 80% to 35%
• ETH (MRL): reduction from 30% to 10%
• 2-Pool Stables: increase from 30% to 40%
• vDOT: reduction from 22% to 15%
• 4-Pool Stables: reduction from 20% to 10%
• 2-Pool BTC: reduction from 20% to 15%
• KILT: reduction from 5% to 2%
• BNC: reduction from 5% to 3.5%
• CFG: reduction from 5% to 4%
• CRU: reduction from 5% to 0.7%
• PHA: reduction from 5% to 2.5%
• ZTG: reduction from 5% to 0.4%
• INTR: reduction from 5% to 2%
• HDX: reduction from 2% to 0.1%
• RING: reduction from 2% to 0.15%
Rationale for the Changes
The proposal notes that the Total Value Locked (TVL) in Omnipool has grown significantly, along with an increase in the number of assets. The current weight caps no longer align with real market conditions, making a review necessary.
The main focus is on redistributing weights among stablecoins. The plan is to redirect 10% of the weight cap from the 4-Pool Stables to the 2-Pool Stables. This change aims to attract additional liquidity providers for native stablecoins, as the 4-Pool Stables are not reaching their set weight limit.
Benefits of the Update
• Liquidity Optimization: Adjusting the weights will allow for more efficient distribution of liquidity among assets, improving trading conditions and reducing slippage.
• Risk Management: Reducing weights for less liquid or more volatile tokens will help decrease potential risks for users and stabilize the pool.
• Market Adaptation: Regular updates to weight caps provide Omnipool with the flexibility to respond to dynamic market changes.
