Users can opt in easily from both the website or DApp in a number of wallets that support Binance Smart Chain (TokenPocket, MATH, BitKeep, and Ontology).

dForce is one of the very few DeFi protocols that offer incentivized plans over an extended time horizon, serving as a strategic incentivization to promote long-term retention and community engagement. Among all yield-farming DeFi projects (Uniswap, Curve, Yearn, etc), dForce Liquidity Mining ranks #9 globally in terms of TVL, according to CoinMarketCap, with Champagne Tower Pool accounting for the biggest slice of the pie.
