Since the release of dForce Lending & Synthetic Asset Protocol on 2 June, 2021, total assets across dForce Network on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BSC) achieved $125 million, with $81 million total accumulated borrow and $18 million total trading volume.
Now, dForce is the 2nd largest lending platform on BSC in terms of total outstanding loan of $30.3m (total borrow & total mint).
Total accrued fees across dForce network (Ethereum & BSC) recorded $50K in the first month, with 58.4% from BSC and 41.6% from Ethereum. On Ethereum, 68.6% of interest income were generated by lending activities (interest spread) and 31.4% by USX and EUX (minting fee). On BSC, however, USX and EUX contributed 65.4% of the total interest income, with lending activities accounting for 34.6%.
Collected fees will be utilized to facilitate DF buyback, redistribution to DF holders, fund future development of dForce, etc, subject to governance approval.

‘Summer Vibes’ Liquidity Mining
dForce launched ‘Summer Vibes’ initiative on both Ethereum and BSC on 4 June, 2021, with a daily distribution of 221,000 DF to all participants as mining rewards. dForce liquidity mining is carried out in three forms:
- lending & borrowing
- minting (USX, EUX)
- providing liquidity for designated pairs on Pancake (BSC only)
In responding to shifts in market dynamics and protocol strategy, we will adjust DF distribution schedule on a bi-weekly basis to achieve the best outcome.

Integration
dForce Lending & Synthetic Asset Protocol is now live on Arbitrum Mainnet. dForce partners with Arbitrum team as early adopters of this vibrant ecosystem.
Arbitrum is an optimistic rollup solution, i.e. L2 scaling solution for Ethereum, that is able to run unmodified EVM contracts, unmodified Ethereum transactions with much higher-throughput, and low-cost smart contracts while remaining trustlessly secure. dForce users would benefit from the faster transaction speeds and lower gas fees.
dForce has joined Asia DeFi Network to accelerate the development of DeFi in Asia. Mindao Yang, Founder of dForce, will also serve the role of Mentor to share his expertise and guidance to support the growth and development of mentees.
Launched by LongHash Ventures, Asia DeFi Network fosters collaboration between leading DeFi protocols and investors in the East and the West while developing cutting-edge research on DeFi-native topics such as tokenomics and governance.
