The FILLiquid platform has revealed a new feature for its protocol's second testnet phase: $FIG Staking. This feature allows holders of $FIG tokens to stake them in the protocol and earn returns on their holdings. By introducing revenue-sharing and token burning through the $FIG Staking product, FILLiquid aims to modernize its DeFi protocol.

This innovative product transforms the $FIG token from a governance token into a utility token, pushing FILLiquid to the forefront of DeFi advancements. Users staking the $FIG token will receive a share of the platform's generated revenues from transaction fees as borrowers and lenders interact with the $FIL liquidity pool. As a result, $FIG holders will gain ownership of the protocol, allowing them to share in profits and participate in governance decisions.

In addition to revenue-sharing, FILLiquid plans to incorporate a token-burning mechanism through $FIG Staking. This deflationary feature will gradually reduce the supply of $FIG tokens by removing them from the market through buybacks and burns. Together, these upgrades are expected to position FILLiquid as a cutting-edge DeFi platform.

FILLiquid: Revolutionizing Liquidity for Filecoin Storage Providers

FILLiquid stands as a decentralized lending and borrowing platform for $FIL, offering opportunities for token holders to earn passive income and storage providers (SPs) to secure $FIL loans for expanding their storage capacity on the Filecoin Network. The platform aims to bring a new paradigm of liquidity to storage miners who need to pledge $FIL to the Filecoin Network to scale their storage capabilities.

By pledging $FIL, storage providers ensure the security of the Filecoin network by storing data accurately and maintaining accessibility over extended periods. FILLiquid intends to alleviate the financial strain on SPs by enabling them to use their pledged $FIL as collateral for loans. SPs can link their miner wallets to the FILLiquid smart contract to securitize loans, thereby obtaining immediate access to $FIL without additional financial burdens, while offering an avenue for Filecoin holders to earn passive income.

Upcoming Testnet Phase 2 and $FIG Airdrop Opportunities

The $FIG Staking is set to launch during the second phase of testing beginning on April 10th, 2024. Building on the success of the first testnet phase which engaged over 10,000 wallets, the second phase offers another opportunity to receive a free $FIG token through testing.

Testers partaking in the second phase have a chance to share a 3 million $FIG airdrop among themselves. The testnet process is free and occurs on the official Filecoin Calibration testnet. Users are encouraged to connect their wallets to the network, load them with testnet tokens, and test the products offered by FILLiquid, including $FIL Staking, $FIL Borrowing, $FIG Farming, and the new $FIG Staking.

To stay informed about the testnet and upcoming events, users can follow FILLiquid on social media and join the Discord community.
