UST Double-Reward Farm on Polkadot is here! Stake into UST Farm and Earn Double Yields on StellaSwap

3 min readApr 4, 2022

StellaSwap is excited to (re)launch our UST farm with double-rewards to incentivize TerraUSD (UST) adoption on Polkadot! As the largest DEX on Moonbeam network, which in turn represents the largest parachain on Polkadot, we’re constantly expanding our reach towards other L1 blockchain networks like Terra.

The current UST-GLMR farm (single-reward) will be retired, so existing UST-GLMR stakers are required to move their LP to the new pool on 5th April. You can start bridging UST to Moonbeam network and start trading UST from 5th April, 16:00 PM UTC, with farming rewards will go live 24 hours later. This would be a good opportunity for UST holders to generate healthy APRs outside of Terra blockchain.

UST is the Largest Decentralized Stablecoin, Surpassing DAI

As part of our ongoing initiatives to expand cross-chain capabilities, we have decided to work with various stakeholders to incentivize UST’s farm on StellaSwap. UST has surpassed DAI as the largest decentralized stablecoin, with a growth of over 60% of its market cap in just the past 3 months!

The details are as follows:

Double-Reward Farm: UST-GLMR
Retirement of Existing Single-Reward UST-GLMR Farm: 5 April, 16:00 PM UTC (Farm will be moved to inactive)

Retirement of Single-Reward UST-GLMR Farm, Current Stakers Should Deposit LP into New Double-Reward UST-GLMR Farm

Since the new UST-GLMR farm that will launch on 5 April provides for double-rewards, it means that existing LP stakers into the current single-reward UST-GLMR pool will need to restake their LP into the new UST-GLMR, double-reward farm. This is because the underlying smart contracts for dual-reward farms are fundamentally different as compared to a single-reward farm.

Therefore, existing users must take note that effective 5 April 16:00 PM UTC, the existing single-reward UST farm will be retired and inactive. They will need to restake their UST-GLMR LP to the new farm to start earning double-rewards.
