Liquidity Contribution by VBL Applicant :

1. Token amount provided to minting vToken: 24,500 vDOT
2. Plan to provide vToken liquidity
   vToken - Token LP : 24500 vDOT+39111 DOT

Other

• The company validator is self funded and fully supported by the community.

• We have a potential of minting up to 240k vDOT in total (including the 24,500 that have already minted so far). We may mint more vDOT in the following scenarios:

1. When our current vDOT-DOT is getting out of range, meaning the entire vDOT is fully converted to DOT (due to impermanent loss). In that case we’ll re-supply liquidity by minting new vDOT.

2. We currently provide liquidity on Moonwell app using part of our DOT in order to borrow USDC/USDt. Once it’ll be possible to use vDOT as a collateral on Moonwell, we’ll exchange our collateral from DOT to vDOT by minting vDOT.

• Once the VBL proposal is accepted, we’ll immediately add another vDOT-DOT liquidity of about 16,500 vDOT-DOT (in total).

• Once the VBL proposal is accepted, our validator fees will be decreased from 5% to 3%.

• Besides that, we hold another 1.4m GLMR tokens that we’ll consider minting into vGLMR as well in the future.

• We run a small telegram group for delegators' questions and weekly updates regarding the nodes we’re operating. We’ll start sharing all necessary information regarding Liquid Staking via Bifrost whether our VBL proposal passes or not.
