"If you bridge over to @PlasmaFDN be sure you read the fine print on the @aave Plasma WXPL rewards. 30% APY for lending USDT0 is bonkers (3.3% real yield rest is WXPL) but if you look at the borrow rates for USDT0 and USDe (3%) you might be tempted to loop up 3-4x with USDT0/USDT0 to maximize rewards. However @AaveChan specifies "supply USDT0 without holding any USDT0 or USDe debt." So if you looped up and thought it was DeFi summer just making you aware best you can do here lend USDT0 (or USDe). "How do I capitalize on these Plasma XPL farms" Check @aave and @0xfluid. Thank me later 😘 "How"

"Feeling a little behind on all this but what @katana has built with this vaultbridge (vbTokens) is very clever.

The capital efficiency unlock here is huge--all those bridged assets earn yield on Ethereum L1 and then get redirected to DeFi users putting those vbTokens to use in DeFi pools on Katana.
