Decentralized finance (DeFi) continues to evolve at an impressive pace, with decentralized protocols such as the Q Protocol pushing the boundaries. Q Development AG’s recently unveiled Saving & Borrowing Incentive Program has piqued the interest of both newbies and DeFi veterans. This blog post will guide you through the entire program, ensuring you have all the tools and knowledge to maximize your benefits when the program starts.
Q Development’s Incentive Program
Q Development’s initiative is designed to boost community engagement and reward early users of Q’s integrated Saving & Borrowing application. It’s a journey that takes participants step-by-step through the main features of the Q DeFi system.
Setting the Stage: How to Connect to the Q Protocol
To dive into the Q universe, ensure your wallet communicates with the Q Protocol. Here’s how:
- Network Name: Q Mainnet
- RPC-URL
- Chain-ID: 35441
- Symbol: Q
- Block-Explorer-URL
Or, for the technophobes among us, use this to connect.
The Attraction: What’s the Incentive?
Once connected, it’s all about making the most of the Q’s integrated Saving & Borrowing app. Rewards await for three activities:
- Asset Bridging: Transfer assets like WBTC, DAI, and USDC from Ethereum to Q.
- Locking Collateral Assets: Lock assets such as WBTC, DAI, or USDC in your Q Vault.
- Locking Stablecoins: Generate QUSD stablecoins and park them at Q’s Saving Portal.
Diving In: Participation Steps After the Program Starts
Step 1: Start by bridging assets from Ethereum to Q via the Q Bridge. New to this? Try it out on the Q Testnet Bridge first.
- Token bridge
- Token addresses on Ethereum for bridging:
- $WBTC: 0x2260fac5e5542a773aa44fbcfedf7c193bc2c599
- $DAI: 0x6b175474e89094c44da98b954eedeac495271d0f
- $USDC: 0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48
Step 2: Lock collateral assets via Your HQ dapp by creating a vault and locking collateral assets in it
Step 3:Lock QUSD via Your HQ dapp by putting QUSD in a saving contract
Step 4: Monitor the program’s three 3-week phases. Each phase has its TVL (total value locked) goal, so keep an eye on the milestones.
- The adoption goals of Phase 1 and Phase 2 are measured in TVL and set at 300,000 USD and 500,000 USD, respectively.
- Each phase will not commence unless the TVL goal of the previous phase has been reached.
