We opened a channel #welshcorgicoin-listing on Discord to discuss pros and cons of a potential WELSH listing. Please use that to add your support and/or concerns! The launch of the STX/xBTC pool went pretty well. No bugs were found and you all have been swapping a lot! We have just under $500K in liquidity so far. That means we are half way to adding the xBTC/USDA pair, keep your liquidity coming! LP staking APR for STX/xBTC is currently 385%, so very attractive if you want to farm some DIKO. Our short term roadmap looks as follows (not necessarily in that order!): - Voting on STX/WELSH pair proposal for a potential listing - Add xBTC/USDA pair when STX/xBTC goes over $1M liquidity (track it on https://info.arkadiko.finance/) - Redeploy Arkadiko on Testnet to stress test vaults & auctions - Increase LTV on STX pairs conservatively (probably from 25% to something like 40%, TBD on a governance discussion) - Add xBTC as collateral type when xBTC/USDA hits a liquidity milestone (probably also something around $1M) - Increase xBTC LTV to 65-80%. Why first on xBTC? After a while, xBTC should be more liquid, accessible and easier to liquidate vs STX (with stacking, STX liquidity remains a challenge and a core contributor proposal will always remain conservative on LTV - we need to see PoX improvements first, starting with Stacks 2.1) We are aware of some people building pretty neat USDA use cases, but these are likely to hit Q2-Q3 2022. Keep you posted!

Hi all, We have successfully added the STX/xBTC pair to Arkadiko Swap. You can now add your liquidity to the pool on https://app.arkadiko.finance/swap/add/STX/xBTC. DIKO emissions are enabled (stake your LP tokens on the Stake page)! ATTN: currently liquidity is very thin and actual swaps are disabled until the pool has a minimum amount of liquidity. We anticipate this will happen within the next day.

Are you ready? Arkadiko will launch the xBTC/STX pair today. 🚀👩‍🚀 https://twitter.com/ArkadikoFinance/status/1475099886752346112
