Welcome to another weekly wrap-up, Spartans! Thanks to all the community contributors and friends who helped Buidl, promote and support during the week! Read on for the update...

OpenTheGates USDC

The USDC pool has seen continued growth over recent months, hitting its caps each week and becoming the 4th deepest Spartan protocol pool. This week was no exception with the caps getting hit yet again and being raised from 1.5M to 2.5M.

USDC Pool Curated

As expected by many, the recent DAO proposal to Curate the USDC pool achieved heavy majority consensus and was finalised on-chain. We took the time this week to reflect and appreciate the pool in all its glory. If you are looking to provide liquidity with reduced impermanent loss exposure, the USDC pool might be a good option with the ~10% LP + ~58% DaoVault staking estimated APYs.

Universe Finance Tutorial Video

Our new friends over at Universe Finance put together a great video tutorial to help liquidity providers navigate the community DApp and provide $UNT : $SPARTA liquidity to the pool. Check the link to watch the video!

Third Times a Charm

Another win this week on CoinMarketLeague getting voted the #1 DEX yet again, well done Spartans! Don't forget to vote each week!

Learn-to-Earn Quiz Winners

A big congratulations to our winners of the week's quiz:

If you provide liquidity + stake the LPs in the DaoVault, which estimatedAPY figure applies?

The correct answer was:

Providing liquidity exposes you to your proportionate share of pool revenue as represented by the 11.86% estimated figure in the example. You can then stake the LP tokens to expose yourself to the additional DaoVault yield on top, as represented by the 52.79% estimated figure in the example.

New Learn-to-Earn Quiz

There is a new #LearnToEarn quiz up and live for Spartans keen to learn and win some SPARTA in the process!

Don't forget to ask in the social channels if you are not sure! The community is there to help and these quizzes are all about learning!

OpenTheGates RAZE

Scraping in just before the end of the week, we saw the RAZE pool reach its liquidity caps again! It continues to build deeper and cement its place as the top holder of RAZE tokens on BSC / BNBChain.

The pool's caps were raised from 400K to 650K after some analysis to allow more liquidity to enter and continue growing the pool!

SpartAnalytics

Our community collates the public Spartan Protocol data into a PDF report each month covering Google Search (impressions, clicks, devices, keywords & geographical) & Twitter analytics. You can find the full February report here.

• Built a theme provider to help handle dark/light mode better in the DApp revamp

Ripped out

• Ripped out all stylesheets to start fresh with vanilla library styling

GitHub Activity - Spartan UI Library

GitHub - spartan-protocol/spartan-ui-library: ⚙ Spartan Protocol Community UI Components

⚙ Spartan Protocol Community UI Components. Contribute to spartan-protocol/spartan-ui-library development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHub

This component library has taken a bit of a back seat for now with a focus on cleaning up the existing DApp repo instead of rushing this one. Contributors can come back to this & work towards the initial plan of making it a whole component UI library (for all community DApps, not just the current one) instead of the in-between phase that it was becoming (the partial work will shift from here to a branch on the DApp repo soon for the DApp-refresh phase to continue)

Hence the below to-do list is now pointing towards what was previously meant to be the 'next stage':

To Do:

Add Synth Mint/Burn to Swap Volume · Issue #12 · spartan-protocol/spartan-subgraph

Currently, the swap volume NET sum doesn’t include Synth activity. I think it makes sense to include it, especially considering it literally is swapping through the pools and generating revenueGitHub

Community Contribution

Spartan Protocol is at its core, a community-driven and led project. In this vein, the more contributors the better. There is a great opportunity for community members to contribute by making LP reward analysis tools, etc.

Recently, community members have been graciously funnelling in to contribute to explainer articles, ideas and even $SPARTA donations to support the growth of the platform.‌
