Horizon Protocol Integrates Chainlink Automation to Help Trigger the Process of Claiming Weekly Rewards


With this integration, users no longer have to manually claim rewards each week.
Horizon Protocol X Chainlink Automation
Horizon Protocol—a DeFi platform for synthetic assets—has integrated Chainlink Automation on BNB Chain mainnet. Horizon Protocol is leveraging Chainlink Automation to provide users with the option to help securely and cost-efficiently trigger the claim function that distributes weekly rewards. As a result, users will be able to automate the rewards-claiming process and not have to manually claim every week.

The Chainlink Automation Network is operated by the same pool of time-tested, provably reliable node operators that help secure tens of billions of dollars in DeFi, even during record levels of network congestion and extreme volatility. The proven infrastructure of Chainlink helps ensure that every claim on Horizon Genesis is executed on-time and in a trust-minimized manner, giving users additional guarantees that it will function exactly as intended.
Horizon Protocol is a decentralized finance project on BNB Chain with the mission of creating a borderless financial market for synthetic assets. Horizon Protocol facilitates the on-chain creation and trading of synthetic assets that represent real-world assets, providing exposure to them via smart contracts that track their price movements.
To create on-chain synthetic assets (known as zAssets on Horizon Protocol), Horizon Genesis is used to stake and mint zUSD, a stablecoin with a high collateralization ratio. Each week, rewards are given out to all Horizon Protocol stakers on Genesis, and these rewards must be claimed during that week. Active staking is required to make sure the collateralization is balanced and protected, which is where Chainlink Automation comes in. Chainlink Automation provides users with a way to automatically claim their weekly rewards instead of having to manually claim them every week.
Chainlink Automation is a decentralized service purpose-built to manage tasks on behalf of smart contracts. Chainlink Automation leverages decentralized, hyper-reliable, and economically incentivized automation nodes to wake up smart contracts when they need to perform critical on-chain functions, which usually take place at regular time intervals (e.g., every day at the same time) or based on external events (e.g., when an asset hits a specific price).
Some of the notable features of Chainlink Automation include:
- Highly reliable, performant, and decentralized automation — Chainlink Automation ensures transactions are identified and confirmed quickly even during periods of heavy network congestion by leveraging Chainlink’s battle-tested transaction manager.
- Time-tested infrastructure that helps save costs — Chainlink Automation enables us to eliminate in-house automation infrastructure costs, reduce resources spent on DevOps, and increase speed and efficiency.
- Built to enable faster scaling — Chainlink Automation enables us to scale faster and avoid the challenges that come with building and maintaining the infrastructure needed to reliably automate across multiple chains.
- Unlocks new use cases — Smart contract automation explores new use cases and unlocks capabilities that would otherwise not have been possible.
“Chainlink is the leading provider of decentralized oracle services, which are critical to Horizon Protocol. It is exciting to continue to leverage Chainlinks services in the form of Chainlink Automation to continue our journey towards becoming a completely decentralized synthetic asset DeFi offering.” – Stanton Wong, Education Director at Horizon Protocol.
Horizon Protocol takes its first step into decentralized automation with Chainlink Automation and will continue exploring use cases that can offer users a better experience while maintaining our ethos of creating a borderless financial market for synthetic assets.

Grab Your Piece of the Pie: Sector Finance Token is Set For Launch
.jpg)
Sector Finance is launching its token, $SECT, on Camelot DEX. There'll be 100M tokens available with 10% for public sale with a minimum commitment of $1.5M USDC and a maximum of $4M.
$SECT to Publicly Launch on March 31
The public token launch for Sector Finance token, $SECT, is set to begin at 17:00 UTC on March 29, 2023, and end at 17:00 UTC on March 31, 2023, on Arbitrum's native Camelot DEX.
We are excited to announce the public token launch of Sector Finance ($SECT). Our launch will take place March 29 via @CamelotDEX on Arbitrum.
— Sector Finance (@sector_fi) March 16, 2023
To celebrate this new milestone, we are increasing the Incentive Pool for early Vault depositors.
Details 👇 pic.twitter.com/LW0IeVANiz
The maximum supply will be 100 million $SECT, and 10% of that will be made available to the public. There is a minimum total commitment of $1.5 million USDC and a maximum commitment of $4 million USDC for the public launch of the token.
However, Sector Finance would retain the tokens allocated for the launch if the total committed $USDC is less than 1.5M. In that case, deposited funds will be returned to all participants.
Participants who deposit early and own Camelot's native token, xGRAIL, will be able to join the whitelist launch 24 hours before the public offer begins. As reported, all participants will receive the same fair launch value ("FLV") set at the end of the launch period. For all, the final price would be set as follows:
- Max = 4M $USDC Commitment / 10M $SECT
- Min = 1.5M $USDC Commitment / 10M $SECT
Additionally, holders of $SECT can stake, lock, and receive vote-escrowed $SECT ("$veSECT"), which provides governance rights over protocol fees and emissions. There is a vesting period for one-third of the tokens where they would be staked in veTokens for three months.
Sector Finance will publish specific instructions on participating in the public launch ahead of the launch event.
Incentivized Vault Offering
Sector Finance will increase the Incentive Pool for the Incentivized Vault Offering ("IVO") from 1.0% to 2.0% in celebration of its public launch.
According to the protocol, early depositors will earn $veSECT and $bSECT from the Incentive Pool in addition to the real yield accrued in USDC/ETH. Early depositors will benefit both from short-term upsides and long-term value accruals.
Participants can earn $bSECT and $veSECT from the Incentive Pool at the end of the Incentive Period when they deposit into either the Aggregator Yield Vaults or Single-Strategy Vaults.
You can learn more about the incentive vault offering here.
What is Sector Finance?
Sector Finance is a product protocol designed to scale the DeFi ecosystem sustainably through diverse yields and unparalleled risk transparency. The protocol is developing risk management tools and investment products to assist the next generation of DeFi users. Sector will run on Arbitrum, and the strategies will work with a variety of ecosystems, including Ethereum Mainnet, Moonriver, and Optimism.

The top DeFi protocols on Ethereum have captured billions of TVL and generated offspring that have captured billions more.
Uniswap, Compound, Olympus DAO, Aave
“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.” – Oscar Wilde
Snarkiness aside, any good developer understands it’s far less efficient to build from scratch, than to identify existing good code and to adapt it to their purposes. The world of crypto is filled with Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocols that are based on forks of predecessors.
Unsurprisingly, Ethereum protocols are the most popular models for other platforms to follow. In many cases, the Total Value Locked (TVL) of the offspring exceeds the parents!
Let’s check out the top 4 Ethereum protocols, in terms of the adoption of their forks, and then also look at one wild-card protocol: Uniswap, Compound, Olympus DAO, AAVE and Solidly.
(All data sourced from DefiLlama.)
1. Uniswap
Name: Uniswap
Category: DEX
TVL: $3.78 billion
Most Popular Forks: PancakeSwap (BNB etc.), SushiSwap (ETH etc.), BiSwap (BNB), VVS Finance (Cronos), Quickswap DEX (Polygon), Camelot (Arbitrum), SpookySwap (Fantom)
Total TVL of Forks: $6.92 billion
2. Compound Finance
Name: Compound Finance
Category: Lending
TVL: $2.67 billion
Most Popular Forks: Venus (BNB), Tectonic (Cronos), Benqui Lending (Avalanche), Sonne Finance (Optimism), Mare Finance (Kava)
Total TVL of Forks: $4.56 billion
3. Olympus DAO
Name: Olympus DAO
Category: Reserve Currency
TVL: $253 million
Most Popular Forks: Wonderland (Avalanche, ETH), Klima DAO (Polygon)
Total TVL of Forks: $1.51 billion
4. AAVE
Name: AAVE
Category: Lending
TVL: $8.53 billion
Most Popular Forks: UwU Lend (ETH), Geist Finance (Fantom), Radiant (Arbitrum)
Total TVL of Forks: $830 million
The only DeFi protocol in the top 5 that was not originally on Ethereum is Solidly, which was launched by famed DeFi developer Andre Cronje on Fantom. Solidly’s TVL on Fantom experienced a meteoric rise and equally meteoric fall, but the protocol has spun off several massively popular protocols on other blockchains.
Solidly
Name: Solidly
Category: DEX
TVL: $1.5 million
Most Popular Forks: Velodrome (Optimism), Solidly V2 (ETH), Thena (BNB), Ramses Exchange (Arbitrum), Equalizer Exchange (Fantom), Solid Lizard (Arbitrum), Equilibre (Kava)
Total TVL of Forks: $863 million
What is Ethereum:
Ethereum is an open-source, distributed computing platform based on blockchain technology that can execute smart contracts - that is, the terms written in the contract will be executed transparently, automatically when the previous conditions are satisfied, and no one can interfere. At the same time, Ethereum also allows developers to build decentralized applications (DApps) and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).

Synthetix Smashes Records: Reaches $490 Million in Daily Trading Volume

Synthetix, the derivatives liquidity protocol, achieved a record-breaking $490 million daily trading volume on March 17. The protocol also generated over $511,000 in fees on the same day.
Synthetix Made Record Trading Volume
Derivatives Liquidity Protocol, Synthetix hit $490 million in daily trading volume for the first time on March 17, according to Dune analytics.
In terms of trading, the majority took place on the Kwenta trading platform, which accounted for $479.8 million in trading volume. In addition, the Synthetix generated more than $511,000 in fees on March 17.

Worth noting that Synthetix will distribute over $8M of Optimism's governance tokens to its perpetual swaps users as rewards.
The reward system will reward traders based on the fees paid, the volume generated, and the amount staked in SNX, Synthetix's governance token. As reported, users who stake 2,500 or more SNX can further boost their rewards with a maximum bonus of 15%.
The program will begin in the first week of April and run for 20 weeks.
In the first week, 50,000 OP tokens will be distributed, followed by 100,000 OP in weeks two and three. The remaining weeks of the program will see 200,000 OP per week.
The rewards will be issued from Synthetix's treasury, which received 9 million OP from the Optimism Foundation in July 2022.
Synthetix has also deployed version 3 (v3) on the Ethereum mainnet following security audits on February 23.
According to its developers, Synthetix v3 offers developers better architecture for developing faster, more complex, and more efficient decentralized financial applications (DeFi). Additionally, V3 will provide simplified staking and differentiated debt pools, meaning network stakers can contribute collateral to specific asset pools and receive fees without being exposed to every Spartan Council-supported asset.
Synthetix currently has a Total Volume Locked (TVL) of $457.14 million, which includes $303.82 million in Ethereum and $153.32 million in Optimism. Synthetix is trading at $2.88, up 0.08 in 24 hours.
What is Synthetix:
Synthetix is a decentralised liquidity layer built on Ethereum and Optimism that acts as a backend for DeFi protocols. Stakers provide liquidity to collateralize a portfolio of synthetic assets in exchange for rewards and market yields. This liquidity is used to underwrite synthetic assets and perpetual futures trading at oracle prices, removing the need for traditional order books and counterparties. As a result, liquidity is commutable and fungible across markets, and traditional slippage is eliminated.
