- Bifrost is proposing to increase the commission rate of vDOT to 10% to prepare for the launch of Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0.
- This will encourage more people to use vDOT, which will help grow the user base and increase Bifrost's revenue.
- Bifrost Tokenomics 2.0 will offer enhanced benefits to users holding both bbBNC and vDOT, which will motivate bbBNC holders to mint more vTokens and drive up total protocol revenue.
- Increasing vDOT's commission rate is crucial for attracting partners to the Reward-Share Program (RSP) and expanding its user base.
- With more partners, vDOT can be used in more applications, which will benefit the entire ecosystem.

Recover vDOT Commission Rate to 10%

Bifrost is a Liquid Staking app-chain that allows users to earn profits by staking their cryptocurrency. They are planning to launch Bifrost 2.0, which will include new tokenomics and cross-chain integration. They propose using 100% of the profits from the Bifrost protocol for the buyback of BNC, with 90% allocated to bbBNC holders and the remaining 10% to be burned. bbBNC is a type of escrow token used for sharing the protocol's profit. Users can obtain bbBNC by liquid staking BNC to acquire vBNC and then locking this vBNC to receive bbBNC. bbBNC holders will share protocol profits, have staking rewards, governance rights, and boosted farming. Bifrost's revenue comes from vToken commission, system staking, tx fee, vToken swap fees, expanded application revenue, and bbBNC early redemption slash. The higher the proportion of bbBNC value in the overall, the more you might get in various bbBNC holdings benefits. Bifrost 2.0 upgrade has officially launched, and bbBNC core logic code development is complete and in the testing process.
