StakingRewards.com is a website that provides information on staking opportunities for different cryptocurrencies. It helps investors to understand the potential rewards, risks, and mechanisms of staking different digital assets. 

Bifrost is being integrated into StakingRewards.com, which means users can access and use Bifrost's staking features through the website. This integration will enhance the website's functionality and value proposition, offering users the convenience of managing their staking activities in one place.

The partnership aims to increase staking participation across Bifrost's listed assets and protocols, which will benefit both parties. StakingRewards.com will receive a commission rate set at 50% of the protocol's commission.

The integration is planned for several vTokens, including vBNC, vDOT, vKSM, vGLMR, vMOVR, vETH, vMANTA, vASTR, and vPHA (not live yet).

StakingRewards.com can support Bifrost's growth and community through increased visibility, website metrics, social media outreach, education and awareness, seamless staking experience, and data and analytics.

1. Bifrost treasury wants to add more BNC deposit into HydraDX Omnipool to increase on-chain liquidity.
2. The proposed amount is 1.216M BNC ($639.3k), which is 5.8% of the treasury.
3. The current BNC treasury deposit in the Omnipool is $360,665, and increasing it to $1M or 2.3% of FDV is the goal.
4. Increasing BNC liquidity on-chain can support larger money markets for BNC and enable another use case for BNC hodlers.
5. The proposal puts to use "Treasury Owned Liquidity," which can earn fees, add token use cases, deepen liquidity, and have no listing fee or recurring costs for market making or LM.
