Is there any other way to earn BOND tokens beside providing liquidity? I did not tried some farming before because of very high fees in multiple transactions needed before you can farm a token, and Is there any plans to change ethereum chain to bsc which is more cheaper fees.
For the time being, there are three ways to earn but all involve putting something at stake:
1. Stablecoin staking: You can stake USDC/sUSD/DAI and earn a proportion of the reward. There are lot of whales staking in this pool so rewards are low. The pool has around 530M USD staked which earns 32000 BOND per week. So if you stake 1000 USDC, you will get (1000/500,000,000) * 32000 = 0.064 BOND per week ~3 USD per week. These pools are essentially risk-free except the smart-contract risk.
2. LP on Uniswap: 1000 USD worth of LP on Uniswap will get you 0.6 BOND per week ~ 30 USD. This of course has the IL and associated fees for staking, swapping, buying.
3. BOND Governance staking: The governance pool has 610,000 total BOND as reward or 50 weeks. This means, each BOND will earn 1.18 BOND in 50 weeks if the total staked bond remains at the current 512K.
Apart from Staking, the BOND community is open for anyone to contribute. The community will decide upon the rewards through governance voting. The parts are all there. It is hoped that the next set of buidlers and contributors will find a place in a natural manner.
