Glide

What is it?

Glide is a liquid staking protocol on the Polygon Network that's built for individuals who want to maximize their holdings and supercharge their earnings. It is a platform that allows for automatic staking rewards with no lock-up periods.

With Glide, you can stake your crypto assets for attractive APY and automatically compound staking rewards as GLD tokens (pegged 1:1 to your staked assets). Additionally, you can swap your earned GLD for the original crypto asset you staked without any need for withdrawal periods!

Features

1. Staking

Stake your crypto (either MATIC or test ERC20s from our faucet) through Glide and start earning rewards (as GLDs proportional to your staked amount, at no extra effort. Beyond the potential appreciation of staked asset, you will also passively earn staking rewards (as a result of your stake, you share in the protocol's revenue as well as any other rewards).

2. Swapping

At any time, you can swap your GLDs back for your original deposited asset. Easy-peasy!

3. Providing Liquidity

Since GLD tokens are ERC20-based derivatives, you can put these earned tokens to further use by providing liquidity to some pools on Glide (such as the MATIC/GLD pool). Proportional to your added liquidity, you will receive an amount of liquidity pool tokens (GLP). You can also choose to remove said liquidity at any time.

Since Glide employs a StableSwap AMM (partially based on Curve.fi), we offer higher efficiency and lesser price slippage during swapping.

4. Yield Farming -- MATIC yield

With the liquidity pool tokens (GLP) you've received, you can also put these tokens to further use with yield farming on Glide. By farming your GLP tokens, you automatically earn extra GLD and MATIC yield. At any time, you can withdraw by "Harvesting" your farm.

What's Next?

We hope to develop Glide further. We have in our roadmap plans to support more assets (currently limited to GLD and some ERC20s from our faucet) and chains (like Ethereum, Binance, Tron etc). We also plan to add more features that make interacting with earned GLP yield and other assets on the Polygon Network easier.

Our eventual goal is to expand Glide into a fully-fledged ecosystem with attractive rewards and added flexibility, to allow crypto investors to expand their opportunities and supercharge their earnings!
