Team Bunny Looking Ahead! — Responding to Reduced XVS Emissions

Hello Bunny Fam! 🐰🐰🐰

Venus has proposed to reduce their XVS token emission rate by 50%. The vote is scheduled to be finalized on May 14th UTC [https://venus.finance/vote].

As a result, in anticipation of a possible 50% reduction in XVS emissions, we are reducing the amount of leverage applied by our single asset Smart Vaults from the current rate of 2.5 to a new rate of 1.0.

This recalibration will result in lower Smart Vault yields, but is absolutely necessary to avoid the possibility of negative farming profits that can result from a sharp reduction in XVS rewards. Additionally, the recalibration of our Smart Vaults will reduce the pass-through Venus withdrawal fees from 3 bps to 1 bps. Once Venus has shared its strategy for the new VRT token, we will take advantage of higher VRT rewards to apply higher rates of leverage in order to generate higher yields.
