Welcome to another Spartan Protocol weekly wrap-up, read on for more on #OpenTheGates, #LearnToEarn, DApp updates & more.

Welcome to another weekly wrap-up, Spartans! Thanks to all the community contributors and friends who helped Buidl, promote and support during the week! Read on for the update...

OpenTheGates USDC

The USDC pool has seen continued growth over recent months, hitting its caps each week and becoming the 4th deepest Spartan protocol pool. This week was no exception with the caps getting hit yet again and being raised from 1.5M to 2.5M.

USDC Pool Curated

As expected by many, the recent DAO proposal to Curate the USDC pool achieved heavy majority consensus and was finalised on-chain. We took the time this week to reflect and appreciate the pool in all its glory. If you are looking to provide liquidity with reduced impermanent loss exposure, the USDC pool might be a good option with the ~10% LP + ~58% DaoVault staking estimated APYs.

You can stake your USDCp LP tokens for an estimated extra ~55% APY in the DaoVault on top of your LP revenue 🚀https://t.co/VgR1hOXDGM #USDC #DeFi #BNBChain pic.twitter.com/Ze7sMYziuU

Learn-to-Earn Quiz Winners

A big congratulations to our winners of the week's quiz:

If you provide liquidity + stake the LPs in the DaoVault, which estimatedAPY figure applies?

The correct answer was:

Providing liquidity exposes you to your proportionate share of pool revenue as represented by the 11.86% estimated figure in the example. You can then stake the LP tokens to expose yourself to the additional DaoVault yield on top, as represented by the 52.79% estimated figure in the example.

💸Winners have been drawn!💸
The correct answer was 'Pool + Stake!'

OpenTheGates RAZE

Scraping in just before the end of the week, we saw the RAZE pool reach its liquidity caps again! It continues to build deeper and cement its place as the top holder of RAZE tokens on BSC / BNBChain.

The pool's caps were raised from 400K to 650K after some analysis to allow more liquidity to enter and continue growing the pool!

Manual tree shaking for every react-bootstrap component throughout the whole DApp

New Providers

Built a theme provider to help handle dark/light mode better in the DApp revamp

Ripped out

Ripped out all stylesheets to start fresh with vanilla library styling
isLightMode removed everywhere it previous was used to change button variants, this will be handled via CSS from now on to reduce conditional checks and repeat code
isLightMode removed everywhere it previous was used to change <Icon> colors between dark/light mode removed throughout whole DApp. They are now located inside the Icon component to reduce repeat code

To Do:

Distribute the NFTs

GitHub Activity - Spartan UI Library

This component library has taken a bit of a back seat for now with a focus on cleaning up the existing DApp repo instead of rushing this one. Contributors can come back to this & work towards the initial plan of making it a whole component UI library (for all community DApps, not just the current one) instead of the in-between phase that it was becoming (the partial work will shift from here to a branch on the DApp repo soon for the DApp-refresh phase to continue)

Hence the below to-do list is now pointing towards what was previously meant to be the 'next stage':

To Do:

GitHub Activity - Spartan Subgraph

To Do:

GitHub Activity - Spartan Resources

No public Github activity in the resources repo this week.

GitHub Activity - Spartan Arena Contracts

No public Github activity on the NFT/Gaming contracts this week.

GitHub Activity - Spartan API

No public Github activity on the API this week.

GitHub Activity - Spartan Contracts

No public Github activity on the DeFi contracts this week.
