Bonjour frens. Who’s at @ethcc this week? 🇫🇷 🥖 👀 @moose.lens , @denham.lens , @woosung.lens & @apmorgan.lens will be at attending #ETHCC. Give 'em a shout if you’re around and want to meet up for a cheeky bezza. 🍻
Really awesome podcast session with @GRTiQ, had a lot of fun and spoke about some saucy things in the space. 💫 https://www.grtiq.com/podcast/
Now that the Arbtic Games are wrapped, we have a present for you. The Arbtic Games testnet, live on Polygon’s Mumbai. Come play with the closed access features that were shipped for the Arbtic Games. Remember to let us know what you think in the Discord. https://float.capital/app/markets
After days of battle, the new Arctic Champions are here. Ranked by testnet PnL, here are the winners of the Arbtic Games: 1st, with 160.84%, @xnova.lens wins 2,250 DAI 2nd, with 93.06%, forrich.eth wins 1,000 DAI 3rd, with 89.94%, 0x50a120029683AC4dc0e0dd36e4634A806fef8Ef3 wins 350 DAI 4th, with 84.46%, @driptile.lens wins 50 DAI 5th with 79.85%, showti.eth wins 50 DAI 6th with 73.52%, iamzaytsev.eth wins 50 DAI 7th with 71.09%, @0_123.lens wins 50 DAI 8th with 53.93%, zksyncairdrop.eth wins 50 DAI 9th with 52.61%, 0x4eF72636664E3348791357588b7d3BF61d29f4DF wins 50 DAI 10th with 52.43%, 0x32a.eth wins 50 DAI The overall top 10, the DegenScore Beacons top 10, and @pooltogether.lens top 10, will all receive unique NFTs. Plus, everyone who competed will get a participation NFT. Remember, being a Gladiator is really hard. We always honour our bottom three Gladiators. They will receive 25 DAI each and a special NFT. But remember, the real prize is the frens we made along the way. Through this round we've been able to generate an incredible amount of data. We owe our Gladiators a huge thanks. The team is going back into building mode for a little while. We can’t wait to show you what’s coming next.
The Arbtic Games are closed. It’s been an intense few days. Our Gladiators have gone all out and generated incredibly valuable data for buidling Float Arctic. The team is doing a final analysis on the trading accounts to validate that everyone followed the rules. The official winners will be announced tomorrow, and prizes will be sent shortly afterwards. What prizes? Everyone who interacted with the competition contracts three or more times will get a participation NFT. The top 10 overall Gladiators will received DAI prizes and NFTs. The top 10 users from each community will receive unique NFTs. The bottom three overall Gladiators will receive an NFT and a smol DAI prize, because statistically it is just as unlikely to come last as it is to come first. Huge thanks to everyone who pledged, raided and gladiated.
Gm @pooltogether.lens fam. Less than 24 hours remain of the Arbtic Games. Do you have what it takes to reach the top of the Pooly leaderboard? Or is @nelsonrodmar.lens going to claim the number 1 NFT?
GM frens. Only 48 hours remain in the Arbtic Games. Our Gladiators have been working day and night to enter the ranks of the Arctic Champions. Today's top performing Gladiators are: 🥇 0x4f2, holding a major lead from Friday, +89.53% 🥈 showti.eth, with +79.60% 🥉 0x4eF, a hair behind, with +70.05% Trading closes 29 March at 11:00 UTC. Still time to trade if you haven't yet.

Haven't minted that @float.lens follower NFT? NGMI. Probably gonna miss out on something huge. https://lenster.xyz/u/float
Very nice. @float_shipping's tool for @graphprotocol – Subgraph Uncrashable – just got its own page in the Graph Cookbook. Tl;dr it lets you build uncrashable subgraphs. This is useful, because if you've ever built subgraphs you'll know they crash more than early space race soviet rockets. Check it out and get building here: https://thegraph.com/docs/en/cookbook/subgraph-uncrashable/
❄️ 🚢 💙 🧡 ?
Gm stands for “Good Morgan”. Say it back. 👇
Happy belated Valentine's Day frens. Remember – you can't expect a partner to complete you. If you're missing key pieces of yourself, don't try and fill the gaps with someone else. Fill them with Float.
Let's say you're the ONLY chain we launch Float Arctic on. What would you be? 👀 Like for Arbitrum. 💙🧡 Comment for Avalanche. 🔺 Mirror for Optimism. (✨🔴_🔴✨) Collect for Polygon. 💜

Meet the winners of round of the Arctic Games! The Arctic Games are how we're getting the future of leverage ready for mainnet. You trade. We build. Our Arctic Gladiators put the latest deployment to the test. In 1st place is 0xF2e with +126,05%, winning 2,250 $DAI. Plus they have a 10/10 Morgan. In 2nd place is 0xvale.eth with +116,88%, winning 1,000 $DAI. Close behind in 3rd place is 0x001 with +102,32%, winning 350 $DAI. The 4th through to 10th places will each win 50 DAI. View the transactions here: https://polygonscan.com/tx/0x678ab2ca4975df0550c42b87acbb4832250ba97c1dd4b2191ad80d273c87c0dc All top ten Gladiators have been airdropped a unique NFT with their place in the competition, and every active Gladiator has received a mark of battle participation NFT. Plus we've sent a surprise 25 DAI consolation prize and cheeky NFT to the bottom three Gladiators. HUGE congrats and massive thanks to our champion, our top 10, and every user who traded and supported round 2. Now, it’s time to build. The Arctic Games will be back for round 3. Bigger prizes, more assets and features, and maybe even a new chain. See you later Gladiator.
Round 2 of the Arctic Games is closed. It's been an intense few days. We've seen some incredible traders, and generated immensely valuable data to help us build Float Arctic. The Arctic Games are not over. We'll be seeing you soon for round 3.
48 hours of round 2 have passed. The PnL some of our traders are stacking is UNREAL. Today's leaders are: @kiril.lens in 1st, +53% 0xf2e in 2nd, +48.1% zzzero.eth in 3rd, +46.7% Some of the tradeable assets have seen crazy volatility. 24hr price change in tradeable assets is: BTC: -0.6% ETH: -2.2% MATIC: +7.1% LINK: 4% SOL: -3.2% EUR: -0.29% The snapshot for active Gladiators has been taken. Addresses that haven't traded yet will be purged, and new Gladiators will be called shorty. Keep an eye on our Discord and enable role notifications. Addresses added today will still have to trade within the next 48 hours. We've disabled shifting while we investigate a backend bug that's causing the shifted tokens to appear incorrectly. And moving into the weekend we'll be pausing the EUR market, as boring TradFi forex markets only give price updates during business hours.
Gm Gladiators. It's day 2 of Arctic Games round 2. Gm back and tell us what you're trading today.
ROUND 2 OF THE ARCTIC GAMES IS LIVE. Contracts have been deployed and the Arctic Fake Coins and Mumbai MATIC have been airdropped. BTC, ETH, EUR, LINK, MATIC and SOL are all tradeable. The new Arctic Champions are whoever has the highest PnL on 3 February at 11:00 UTC. We’ll be sharing daily leaderboard updates, memes and alpha so everyone can follow the carnage. Some features are still in the final phase of testing, so may not be live at deployment. We’ll notify you as they drop. Arctic Gladiators may commence with battle. Read the rules, remember to make your first trades *within 48 hours*, and proceed to the app. https://links.float.capital/round2-live And Arctic Explooorers, don’t feel left out. When we purge inactive Gladiators, you could still get the chance to be chosen. Show us the strength of your pledge by shitposting in the Discord and on social media, and you might improve your chances.

After many months of building, let's take a second to talk about why the new Arctic deployment from @float.lens is special. It’s a unique, entirely new type of asset. The evolution of leveraged tokens. Pretty much every other leveraged derivative makes serious trade offs. Arctic leveraged tokens don’t. Here's my first Lenster thread on why. The value prop of Float Arctic is simple: Mint leveraged tokens, long or short, at your chosen leverage. Once minted, your position requires no management. No collateral. No margin. No risk of liquidation. You just worry about your entry and exit price. On top of that it’s the easiest trading leverage could possibly be. Minting, redeeming for DAI, and switching your tokens for any other tokens offered by the protocol — all done with one click. While Arctic mints leveraged tokens, these aren’t the same as the current leveraged tokens on offer. The Arctic mechanism fixes the major problem behind previous leveraged tokens, without making the compromises that most other leveraged products have to make. Normally, when choosing a place to get leverage you have to choose between two evils. Basically somewhere on the spectrum between: hard to manage but consistent price exposure and easy to manage but inconsistent price exposure. Most leveraged products are HARD TO MANAGE. Think leveraging up in a MakerDAO vault, or opening a 20x short on GMX. These are inherently hard to use and carry the massive risk of liquidation. They are only suitable for a small, incredibly sophisticated group of users. On the other side of the spectrum are early attempts at leveraged tokens. They’ve mostly been offered by centralized exchanges, with some attempts made on chain. They’re leveraged trading on easy mode. Their incredible USP is leveraged exposure with no management required. You can still get rekt by price movements — it’s leverage after all — but they solved that central problem. Nice hey? Kinda. They made another compromise — price exposure. They initially deliver e.g. 3x returns, but over time their real leverage can be above or below. They need to rebalance to regain that initial leverage, but in the meantime your payoff curve is unpredictable. This limits the product. Investors do not tolerate uncertainty. If the price moves against them and their exposure is higher than expected they will riot. If the price moves in their favour and their exposure is lower than expected they’ll burn your house down. This problem also affected the @float.lens Alpha. Our core mechanism was floating exposure, where leverage on certain positions could drop based on protocol liquidity. It was a great product, but users just didn’t vibe with inconsistent payoff curves. Float Arctic does not have this problem. It does not require liquidations or collateral management. And, except in rare edge cases, leverage will remain fixed at the level desired by the user. There are a ton more advantages like minting and trading fully on chain, way fewer fees than centralized options, and potentially future options to passively LP, but this post is already long enough. Leverage will always be for sophisticated users only. Arctic will be the easiest place to trade leverage, anywhere, and in doing so will remove at least some of the risks and complexities inherent to the act. Will share more content on the Arctic mechanism soon. It’s an incredible piece of financial engineering. Arctic will deploy on mainnet in a matter of months. Until then, test out the protocol by joining our trading competition — the Arctic games. https://links.float.capital/round-2
