Trader Joe is building a Liquidity Hub for an omnichain future, starting with #Avalanche, #Arbitrum and #BNB.
It all begins with omnichain fungible tokens (OFTs), a new standard developed by @LayerZero_Labs. OFTs solve 3 main issues associated with cross-chain token transfers...
🌊 Liquidity
Liquidity is the lifeblood of ecosystems. Thanks to OFTs, protocols to easily establish liquidity on new chains while being able to effortlessly handle even large transfers.
🧮 UI/UX
OFTs make it easy to move from one chain to another, even for inexperienced users. In the future OFTs could even allow for seamless omni-chain dapps...Intrigue.
🔐 Security
OFTs are not wrapped assets, meaning the risk of token depegging on one of the chains is eliminated.
One $JOE is one $JOE, on any and all chains.
Trader Joe was one of the first DeFi protocols to adopt the OFT standard for its token.
Users can effortlessly move their $JOE between three supported chains with minimum fees using the Stargate bridge.
Another token that uses the OFT standard is $BTC.b - Avalanche-bridged Bitcoin.
Thanks to LayerZero, BTC.b can travel to other EVM chains from Avalanche, such as #Arbitrum and #BNBChain, offering a decentralised alternative to WBTC.
One of Trader Joe's newest partners, @Level__Finance, is also utilizing an OFT standard for the $LVL token on #Arbitrum and #BNB.
Other DeFi protocols are already taking advantage of LayerZero's tech to kick-start and fuel their multi-chain expansion.
With the support for more than 14 L1s and L2s, OFTs are here to define the omni-chain future. And thanks to the industry-leading efficiency of the Liqudity Book AMM, users can easily trade $BTC.b, $JOE, $LVL, $STEAK, $RDNT and soon more OFTs.
Still not sure about OFTs or have yet to experience the feel of an omnichain adventure?
Fret no more, Trader Joe has teamed up with @layer3xyz to offer a thrilling multi-chain OFT adventure...Coming this week.

One of the core innovations offered by #DeFi is the ability for everyone to be a liquidity provider. Market making is no longer just for the suits, but is accessible to the regular Joe's.
Here is everything you need to know about LP on Trader Joe 👇
What actually is a Liquidity Provider?
Liquidity providers are the most critical actors in DeFi. They are the ones who supply Liquidity into a Pool, which is then used by an algorithm to facilitate swaps between tokens.
Liquidity Providers (Makers) 'make the market'
Why be a Liquidity Provider?
For supplying liquidity, liquidity providers are rewarded with real yield through fees collected by a DEX on each swap.
In some cases, they might also receive additional token emissions in a process known as Yield Farming.
Automated liquidity built on Liquidity Book, the most capital-efficient AMM in DeFi🌊📘
What are Auto-Pools? 🤖📘
Auto-Pools are set to democratize access to Liquidity Book by automating the process of liquidity balancing within Liquidity Book Pools. The era of effortless, one-click yield farming has arrived.
Developed by Bware Labs and powered by the $INFRA token, Blast API is a new platform that provides decentralised API access to the biggest blockchains in Web3.
For a long time, web3 developers had three choices when it came to infrastructure:
• Maintain it themselves spending resources
• Rely on centralised providers
• Use decentralised but slow alternatives
$BTC.b the omnichain fungible token (OFT) powered by @LayerZero_Labs is now live on #BNBChain exclusively on the Trader Joe DEX.
What is $BTC.b
$BTC.b is an ERC20-compatible version of Bitcoin that was bridged through the LayerZero-Bitcoin bridge.
The bridge is powered by the Intel SGX technology, meaning it can securely execute transactions without any single party being able to gain access to its keys.
Backed & Trusted
Every $BTC.b token is backed by $BTC 1:1, which is verifiable on-chain. All users can trustlessly burn BTC.b to receive the underlying BTC and vice versa.
