Strategy Recommendations

The following are general considerations, not financial advice (NFA). Always do your own research.

​
Conservative Approach

  • Focus: Amber lending positions
  • Assets: wBTC, established LSTs
  • Risk: Lower (lending-focused)
  • Boost: Consider NTRN locking for enhanced rewards

​
Balanced Approach

  • Focus: Mix of Amber lending + Supervault LP
  • Assets: Diversify across multiple BTC derivatives
  • Risk: Moderate (lending + LP exposure)
  • Boost: NTRN locking recommended for optimization

​
Advanced Approach

  • Focus: Leveraged strategies on Amber
  • Assets: maxBTC for basis trading potential
  • Risk: Higher (leverage, liquidation risk)
  • Boost: Maximum NTRN locking for highest multipliers

​
Important Considerations

​
Epoch 1 Specifics

  • Smaller budget: $250,000 vs larger future epochs
  • Testing phase: Help us refine the campaign mechanics
  • Limited vault selection: More options in future epochs
  • Feedback opportunity: Your experience shapes future epochs

​
Risk Factors

  • Protocol risks: Direct smart contract interaction
  • Market risks: BTC volatility affects calculations
  • Liquidity risks: Withdrawal timing depends on protocol conditions
  • Campaign risks: Early withdrawal forfeits epoch rewards

​
Future Epochs

​
Delayed Vaults (May be available in Epoch 2+)

  • wBTC with LBTC LP: wBTC deposits with LBTC liquidity provision
  • LBTC Main: Direct LBTC deposits with maxBTC LP exposure

​
Scaling Plans

  • Larger budgets: Future epochs will have significantly more rewards
  • More strategies: Additional protocols and vault types
  • Enhanced features: New boost mechanisms and optimization tools
