2️⃣ Days to go, Poolsiders 🏊‍♂️! CPOOL Staking = 🔟/🔟

On Clearpool, market forces of supply and demand drive not only the size of single-borrower liquidity pools but also the interest rates paid by borrowers and earned by lenders. To ensure that the interest rate curves applied to permissionless pools move fluidly with changing market conditions, it is necessary to introduce a mechanism that — as with the supply and demand of liquidity in the pools themselves — is driven by the forces of the market. Clearpool Oracles provide this mechanism. Here's an article explaining everything you need to know about Clearpool Oracles & CPOOL Staking👇 https://medium.com/clearpool-finance/clearpool-oracles-and-cpool-staking-everything-you-need-to-know-8f260e81d7ba

📢 CPOOL Staking & Clearpool Oracles 📢 Today, we are excited to announce that the first cohort of Clearpool Oracles have staked CPOOL, and the first round of Oracle voting has begun! CPOOL staking will be available starting on the 10th of October following the initial voting round, which will be complete on the 7th of October. The conclusion of the initial voting round is essential in order to set the staking APRs for each Oracle staking pool, so please use this time wisely to prepare your CPOOL ready for staking on the 10th of October! Through staking, you will not only have the chance to earn an attractive APR on your CPOOL but will also be participating in securing the pricing mechanism for the Clearpool Interest Rate Model (IRM) curve.

📣 Staking Pools Extended on KuCoin & AscendEX 📣 We have extended the CPOOL staking pools on both KuCoin and AscendEX for another month until the end of September. The APY has been reduced to 9%. The reason for this is that native staking will be launched in September and will be the best place to stake CPOOL to earn the highest rewards. Stay tuned for more details on this! If you're already staking on the CEXs, poolsiders don't need to do anything to continue earning rewards. On both exchanges, the pools will be extended which means no need to unstake and restake in a new pool.

🗣️ Here's what Hamzah Khan, Head of DeFi and Labs at Polygon had to say about Clearpool's launch on Polygon! 🚀

🔥 AMAZING mega 🧵 on why Sino Global Capital invested in, lends on, and is 'bullish' on Clearpool TLDR: As credit has been sucked out of the ecosystem, undercollateralized lending has become a larger portion of funding streams -Borrowing demand from current borrowers: Increase -Demand from new borrowers to onboard: Increase -APYs: Increase - The removal of centralized lenders opens room for undercollateralized lenders to thrive The solution to the industry's issues is encouraging transparency to ensure that there is oversight over bad actors. Clearpool’s on-chain lending model is a large step in the direction of transparency. Read more 👇 https://twitter.com/SinoGlobalCap/status/1554120309472624640?s=20&t=SUt-pGiLzkUVNiOsM-ZTNg
