Apricot
Apricot Lend provides conventional lending and borrowing services that allow users to secure their assets for interest earnings while using those deposits as collateral to acquire loans in different assets. Additionally, Apricot X-Farm introduces a leveraged yield farming mechanism that facilitates cross-margin trading, enabling users to maximize their returns on existing investments. For example, when engaging in liquidity pool farming with USDT-USDC, most other leveraged farming platforms necessitate that users already hold a specific quantity of both stablecoins to participate. If users do not have these stablecoins available, they are required to convert other tokens into USDT and USDC before they can engage in farming activities. In contrast, Apricot X-Farm eliminates this barrier, allowing users to initiate farming without needing any USDT or USDC upfront. Instead, they can leverage their non-stablecoin assets as collateral to borrow the stablecoins with a leverage ratio of up to 3x, empowering them to start USDT-USDC LP farming right away. Once the stablecoins are borrowed, they are automatically staked and pooled to yield LP tokens, resulting in an impressive 3x return from the farming process. This innovative approach not only simplifies the process but also significantly enhances users' ability to optimize their investment strategies and achieve greater financial growth.

Echidna Finance
Effortlessly boost your Platypus LP rewards without the burden of capital allocation or withdrawal penalties by simply making a deposit, which will enhance your earnings. By converting your PTP into a yield-generating asset at Echidna, you can stake ECD for a remarkable APR while also benefiting from 40% of Echidna’s fees. Moreover, you can gain additional rewards from stablecoin protocols competing for emissions through Platypus' voting gauge, providing further incentive to engage. It's important to mention that Echidna has been audited by Omniscia, the same auditors linked to Platypus Finance, ensuring its reliability. Before launching, Echidna allocated 2% of its total supply to vePTP holders, which adds to its attractiveness. By converting your PTP, you can achieve an impressive 19.61% APR, making it a compelling option. While depositing your PTP at Echidna can significantly increase your earning potential, it's essential to recognize that staking PTP can present challenges, including illiquidity, lack of productivity, and exposure to price fluctuations. These factors may discourage stablecoin farmers who typically seek lower-risk alternatives, as well as new users who might find acquiring PTP at a reasonable price difficult. However, Echidna effectively mitigates these issues, allowing liquidity providers to farm with our vePTP and enjoy a superior farming experience. This novel strategy not only enhances yield farming but also fosters a more robust and sustainable ecosystem for participants.
