Boosted ASTRO Farming

Use the power of Retrograde to boost ASTRO staking rewards, Astroport LP rewards, and supercharge your governance power.

Why participate in Retrograde?

Boost Yield

Boost LP Rewards

Boost your LP rewards without needing to lock up any ASTRO

Governance Power

Vote on Astroport governance and emissions with RETRO.

Why Retrograde?

Retrograde is a protocol built on top of Astroport, allowing ASTRO stakers and Astroport liquidity providers to get the most out of the Astroport platform, with the least cost and effort.

Yield Boosting

If you are an ASTRO staker who wants to earn fees on Astroport, you can bring your ASTRO to Retrograde to earn all of the trading fees normally directed to xASTRO and vxASTRO, as well as a share of boosted ASTRO received by liquidity providers.

If you are a liquidity provider on Astroport, you can bring your Astroport LP tokens to receive boosted ASTRO rewards on your liquidity positions, without locking up ASTRO into vxASTRO yourself.

ASTRO stakers and liquidity providers also receive protocol emission rewards in the form of RETRO.

Astroport Governance

In addition to yield boosting, the RETRO token offers governance control over the ASTRO tokens in the Retrograde protocol treasury. The RETRO token can be used to vote on Astroport’s native emissions and governance protocols.

Retrograde for ASTRO Stakers

Retrograde offers boosted yields for ASTRO stakers, without requiring stakers to lock up the staking asset.

On Astroport, trading fees are distributed:

  • 50% to users who stake their ASTRO for xASTRO, and
  • 50% to users who lock their xASTRO for vxASTRO, requiring them to stay locked for up to 2 years

Retrograde for Liquidity Providers

Retrograde offers Astroport liquidity providers boosted ASTRO yield without requiring them to lock up any ASTRO themselves.

On Astroport, liquidity providers earn ASTRO rewards via Astroport emissions, as a reward for providing liquidity. Via the Generator Boosties mechanism, Astroport liquidity providers who are also vxASTRO holders are additionally able to boost their share of ASTRO emissions from 1x to 2.5x (source: https://docs.astroport.fi/astroport/tokenomics/utility). However, this requires liquidity providers to purchase and lock ASTRO tokens, adding considerable principal overhead and risk to their position.

On Retrograde, liquidity providers can enjoy the max boost on their ASTRO rewards without locking up any ASTRO themselves, by leveraging the Retrograde treasury.

Retrograde for Astroport Voters

Governance on Astroport is extremely powerful because of the Generator Calibration mechanism (https://docs.astroport.fi/astroport/tokenomics/calibration).

In short, every 2 weeks, Astroport governors can vote on which liquidity pairs to provide ASTRO incentive emissions for, and how much ASTRO emissions to provide to each.

As Retrograde’s treasury contains vxASTRO, it therefore represents a voting power in Astroport Generator Calibration and regular governance polls.

All of the voting power of Retrograde’s treasury is controlled by the RETRO token, which can be locked to vote on behalf of the Retrograde treasury (pro-rata the voting share of RETRO tokens). Therefore, parties interested in voting on Astroport Generator Calibration or governance polls can do so with the RETRO token.
