Bifrost Announcement

The DOT Pi Day Campaign is now live. 😅 More than 8,000 DOT holders have chosen vDOT for their staking. Starting today, every eligible vDOT mint can earn extra rewards, on top of zero fee. 💰 Mint vDOT. Earn BNC. Here's everything you need to know 🧵 📱 post

Everything is coming together for vDOT. Polkadot's 2-day unbonding is now live, giving vDOT a faster redemption cycle and no slashing. Bifrost passed a new proposal takes vDOT to zero fees: 0% commission and 0% unstaking fee, so holders keep 100% of the staking yield. Next up: A new vDOT incentive campaign is coming soon.

❗️Reminder Again❗️ There are still users with $vDOT assets on Interlay. Please withdraw them as soon as possible. If you don't do so before 22 July 2026, your funds will be lost. 😱 Interlay's tweet

A major upgrade for vDOT is on the way. If approved, the remaining protocol fees on vDOT will be removed: ✔️ Commission: 10% → 0% ✔️ Unstake fee: 0.1% → 0% That means vDOT holders receive 100% of underlying DOT staking rewards while minting and unstaking at zero cost. Read the proposal and join the discussion 👇 https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/277

One of the biggest upgrades in Polkadot staking is getting closer. If Ref 1910 excuted, nominators will no longer be exposed to slashing, while the unbonding period will be reduced to 2 days. For Bifrost vDOT, this strengthens the foundation: → Lower staking risk at the network level → Stronger capital efficiency across DeFi → More efficient arbitrage between vDOT and DOT You can always unlock more from vDOT 👉https://app.bifrost.io/vstaking/vDOT

Polkadot staking rewards are evolving. Ref#1909 introduces DAP reform, allocating 22.6% for the validator self-stake incentive, alongside a 0% validator commission model. For Bifrost vDOT, this creates an opportunity to optimize validator capital allocation and capture additional staking rewards without changing the underlying risk profile. https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1909

Bifrost is introducing a new protection layer for cross-chain assets. In the event of abnormal large-scale inflows, assets can be temporarily held before becoming fully transferable. Give governance time to react when something unexpected happens, while keeping normal cross-chain activity running as usual. Another step toward strengthening cross-chain asset security. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2067558657240568221

The 10,000 DOT minimum self-stake requirement for Polkadot validators is now live. Polkadot staking is moving toward less risk and faster liquidity. vDOT has offered that from day one, and goes further: ✔️ Earn staking rewards automatically ✔️ Stay liquid and transferable ✔️ Participate across DeFi to boost yield https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2067202558343680187

Bifrost is currently completing the final integration work required to align with Hyperbridge's upgraded architecture. As this process moves forward, cross-chain services for supported vTokens are getting closer to being restored. We'll share further updates as progress continues. https://x.com/hyperbridge/status/2066544075428302876

Fast unbonding is coming to Polkadot. vDOT is already there. Earn staking rewards while staying liquid across lending, farming, LoopStake, and DeFi. Capital efficiency is what compounds ⬇️ https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2065077261615898985

Bifrost vToken earns you staking rewards. Bifrost vToken gives you governance voting power. Bifrost vToken keeps your assets liquid. Bifrost vToken unlocks DeFi composability. More than staking. Built for on-chain yield. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2064708264840020380

bbBNC is designed to connect protocol growth with community value. Revenue sharing remains one of the clearest ways to align protocol adoption with long-term token holders. 22.34M $BNC is currently staked. 12.5M $BNC is locked as bbBNC. More than 55% of all staked BNC has chosen the revenue-sharing model. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2064001288581546366

Every official vDOT is backed by underlying DOT reserves through Bifrost SLP. Mint vDOT → DOT enters the staking system Redeem vDOT → vDOT is burned, DOT is returned That reserve flow is the foundation. But reserve backing is only the first layer. vDOT reserves are held by Bifrost’s sovereign account, which has no private key. It can only be controlled through protocol logic or OpenGov governance. This means there is no single private key that can simply move the underlying DOT reserves. Even in an extreme parachain compromise scenario, unstaking DOT still requires time, creating a governance response window before reserves can be moved. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2061812893834998173

May highlights - Runtime 25000 introduces risk controls for large inbound cross-chain transfers - Community voting underway for the next bbBNC reward model - Bifrost begins interest repayment to the Polkadot Treasury Building staking, governance and RealFi infrastructure. https://bifrost.io/blog/monthly-report-advancing-real-fi-infrastructure-and-governance-initiatives

Bifrost has submitted Ref #268 to begin the repayment process for @Polkadot Treasury Proposal #1020. Over the past 12 months, the 1,000,000 DOT liquidity loan generated 53,185.39 DOT in interest, achieving a blended APR of 5.318%. Bifrost is now withdrawing from the DOT-vDOT LP, unstaking vDOT, and returning the interest to the Polkadot Treasury. The loan helped deepen vDOT liquidity, expand DOT staking utility across DeFi, and support broader adoption across the Polkadot ecosystem. This is exactly how treasury-backed capital should work: productive, transparent, and accountable to the community. https://bifrost.subsquare.io/referenda/268

Idle digital assets are starting to be the foundation for a new financial layer. Crypto vaults, payments, and real-world yield are beginning to connect in ways that could make on-chain capital more productive, liquid, and spendable.

She’ll also have some Bifrost merches to share with the community. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2052286352977457592

Following Manta's decision to sunset its Manta Staking program, Bifrost will pause vMANTA minting and related staking services. We will provide further updates on the redemption and transition process to ensure users have a clear path forward. https://x.com/Bifrost/status/2051920596792189017
