Got liquidity? We do.

HiveFest may be over, but the excitement is just getting started! Magi is thrilled to unveil a game-changing milestone in our journey: Bitcoin mainnet integration is officially launching on November 11th (11/11)!

This momentous event will debut the highly anticipated BTC-HBD and HBD-HIVE liquidity pools on Magi Network. But wait, there’s more! On December 12th (12/12), we’re taking things to the next level with the launch of our third liquidity pool, introducing DASH into the mix and supercharging the Magi ecosystem.

What is a Liquidity Pool?

A liquidity pool is a collection of funds locked in a smart contract that is used to facilitate trading in DeFi platforms. It is a key component of automated market makers and decentralized exchanges, allowing users to trade cryptocurrencies without relying on traditional order books or centralized exchanges. Anyone can provide liquidity to the pools, and in exchange, users earn a portion of the trading fees and incentives generated by the platform.

Liquidity Pool Impacts

These pools will serve as essential bridges that connect Hive to the broader crypto ecosystem. It will facilitate seamless and direct interactions among various assets, including HIVE, HBD, BTC, DASH, and many more.
This innovation directly and visibly reduces ecosystem reliance on CEXes, which often act as intermediaries for trading cryptocurrencies. By allowing these assets to interact directly, users will benefit from increased efficiency, reduced transaction fees, and greater control over their assets.

BTC-HBD and HBD-HIVE Pools

Liquidity Allocation: $100-200k of HBD and BTC
Fees: No gas fees. Instead, there will be CLP slip based fees as well as 8 bps in fees generated for the protocol.
Advantages: Better pricing, faster trades, and cross-chain access with one single non-custodial wallet.
Incentives: We estimate the APR for providing liquidity in Magi pools to be between 0-20% APR, dependent upon volume and swap fees. See calculation formula below. These fees are auto-compounded into the depositor’s position without the need for claiming.
- CLP Fee (Constant Liquidity Product Fee):
  A dynamic fee based on the size of the swap relative to the depth of the liquidity pool. This fee is not fixed, but rather calculated using a variant of the CLP formula:
- CLP Fee = x²Y/(x+X) ² - Where x is the swap size, and X and Y are the current pool depths of the input and output assets. This formula ensures that larger swaps relative to pool size are penalized with higher fees, protecting liquidity providers from excessive slippage. The resulting fee is distributed based on the Pendulum mechanism, incentivizing both collateral and liquidity providers appropriately.
- To incentivize early participation and long-term alignment with the protocol, Magi network will reward early liquidity and collateral providers for their contribution at the MAGI Token launch (TGE), scheduled some time next year, 2026 (More info on that coming soon).

How can I participate?

To participate in liquidity pools, all you need is a wallet and the assets you wish to provide as liquidity. You can connect your current wallet to Altera and start immediately. There's no need to stress about gas tokens or managing multiple wallets because of Native Asset Mapping. Make your deposit, and watch your position grow, so it’s truly a “set it and forget it” situation. We expect yield to be low in the beginning, and it will increase as volume across the pools grow.

Why is this a big deal for Hive?

The launch of HBD-BTC and HBD-HIVE liquidity pools in Magi marks a significant achievement for Hive. This increases the functionality of both HIVE and HBD as the backbone assets of Magi Network, links Hive to the wider cryptocurrency landscape, and enhances the liquidity of both assets. These pools facilitate decentralized trading, lessen dependence on centralized exchanges, and provide financial access to everyone, elevating Hive’s visibility and user adoption. By reinforcing HBD’s status as a stablecoin and connecting Hive to true DeFi, this integration sets the stage for future Hive to become a decentralized hub for cross-chain finance.

We can’t wait to see you in the pools! Make sure to drop a comment with any questions or feedback.

This will be a soft launch of the Magi Liquidity Pools. There may be occasional bugs, temporary downtime, or performance fluctuations while we stabilize and optimize the technology.
We appreciate your patience and participation during this early phase, every interaction helps us strengthen the infrastructure and ensure a smooth, secure experience as Magi matures.
