On its journey to drive Litecoin forward into its next chapter as a Web3 powerhouse ready for mass market adoption, LitVM is keeping users, community members, and LTC holders in the driver’s seat at all times. In the decentralized spirit of Web3 technologies, that means preserving sovereignty, autonomy, and governance at all times. It means managing your capital in accordance with your own principles, your own risk appetite, and your own financial goals. And above all, it means managing your capital while maintaining self-custody.

But in the modern Web3 scene, there’s more. The “HODL” paradigm has long passed; getting the most out of what you have means contributing to decentralized, robust networks and applications in exchange for yields. In a nutshell, it means active participation in ecosystems and in DeFi – and high-performance, fully accessible DeFi at that. That’s why LitVM is going the distance to build out the most open, permissionless, ultra-sleak EVM network to provide incentives for active participants and support a breadth of diverse, interoperable DeFi applications: so that every member of the Litecoin community can truly reap the benefits of what they already have. If you like Litecoin right now, brace yourself – because you’re going to love Litecoin with LitVM.

LitVM is electrifying the entire Litecoin scene with a host of powerful new ways to earn on your assets – yup, the stuff you already have. For the entire plight of Web3 technologies, yield generating opportunities have remained beyond the reach of Litecoin community long-timers and newcomers alike – until now. LitVM’s innovative EVM chain is tying off all the loose ends and filling all the gaps to enable on-chain, off-chain, and cross-chain opportunities for LTC holders. By integrating Litecoin into a versatile ecosystem and DeFi framework, LitVM is bringing a plethora of powerful ways to earn straight to your fingertips. Below are some examples of the opportunities for LTC holders on LitVM.

DeFi

LP Fees on DEXs

To jumpstart a robust and vibrant DeFi ecosystem, high-performance V3 DEXs are lining up to underpin LitVM’s decentralized swaps scene. LitVM-based DEXs will offer a plethora of yield opportunities for LTC holders, including standard LPing and farming incentives from which  users will be able to earn fees and rewards. With LTC serving as a primary base asset for DEX pairings, LTC holders will be in prime position to capitalize on all the action.

Decentralized Lending Opportunities

Decentralized lending platforms always have borrowers seeking capital. In LitVM’s emergent decentralized lending scene, LTC holders can contribute assets to decentralized lending pools in exchange for periodic yields. And for those looking for a little extra liquidity, LTC can be staked as collateral to secure a loan. The bottom line: if you’ve got LTC, you’ve got options.

Delta-Neutral Strategies on Perps

With next-gen perpetual exchanges coming onboard, LitVM-native delta-neutral strategies on perpetual futures provide LTC holders with a sophisticated way to generate yields. Delta-neutral strategies are notorious for their careful balances of risk and reward, offering traders an opportunity to generate profits on either side of volatile market dynamics.

StratEx Strategy Vaults

Innovative DeFi protocol StratEx will be deploying its DeFi Strategy Marketplace on LitVM, opening the door for LitVM users to access elite DeFi strategies vaults with seamless, one-click LTC deposits. Not a DeFi expert? No problem – on StratEx, you can invest with the best, and let your capital do the work.

On the other hand, if you’re a Litecoin community member with a knack for DeFi, you can submit a strategy of your own. If it’s accepted, you’ll earn a cut of all the profits you generate for other users on the platform. It’s the ultimate DeFi win-win.

Ecosystem Participation

Sequencer Fees

Unlike Base, Optimism, or Arbitrum, LitVM will distribute a percentage of sequencer fees to the community, including stakers of LTC on LitVM. In addition to incentivizing participation in the LitVM ecosystem more broadly, sequencer fees offer LTC holders yet another avenue to generate passive income.

Governance Participation

By utilizing LTC in LitVM DeFi, LitVM users will begin earning $LITVM tokens from an array of different liquidity incentives. With their $LITVM tokens loaded up in their wallets, DeFi participants can become active participants in LitVM’s decentralized governance model, all while earning further rewards in $LITVM for their active involvement. Seriously, the rewards just don’t stop coming.

LitVM Ecosystem Airdrops

Speaking of non-stop rewards, as LitVM begins its ascent, you can expect protocols on LitVM to be setting aside token allocations for airdrops to LTC and $LITVM stakers. LitVM is already hard at work giving nudges and encouragement to early-stage dApps designing their tokenomic models. On LitVM, the ball’s always in your court – the more you give, the more you stand to receive.

Institutional/Retail

DNA Fund Trading Strategy

In partnership with DNA Fund, LitVM is proud to introduce an innovative LTC Yield Strategy that offers retail and institutional investors a unique opportunity to generate an estimated 7-11% APR on their spot LTC holdings, with yields accumulated in LTC. With 7 years of success managing major assets, DNA Fund's strategy utilizes CEX Perps with tight spreads, no leverage, delta-neutral trading over thousands of trades, and minimal Impermanent Loss (IL). Funds will be held in regulated institutional solver vaults via CEFFU, managed by sharded key custodians. For those comfortable with less decentralized mechanisms, this strategy offers a high-yield opportunity.
