Booster

as of 02/01/2025

The Booster is a unique module that enables users to enhance their overall yields by staking HTM tokens or HTM-related assets such as LP tokens or Farm tokens. It provides an innovative mechanism for unlocking extra rewards, allowing users to maximize their returns within a flexible and competitive framework. The Booster is also the core utility module of our token, rewarding HTM holders with revenue generated by the various products of Hatom.

In the Booster V1, users could only stake HTM tokens to earn Boosted APYs. To achieve maximum rewards, users needed to stake HTM tokens equivalent to at least 10% of their total collateral value. This boost is applied universally across all assets activated as collateral, offering consistent opportunities to maximize returns. However, Booster V1 was limited in scope, restricting staking options to HTM tokens alone.

The Booster V2 introduces significant enhancements over its predecessor, offering users greater flexibility and more competitive opportunities to maximize their yields.

With Booster V2, users can now deposit not only HTM Tokens, but also HTM-related tokens, such as LP tokens, Farm tokens and Dual Farm tokens. Additionally, it supports the xExchange staked version of HTM (previously known as Metastaked HTM). For HTM pairs, only the weight of HTM within the token is considered for boosting calculations. This expanded token support allows for more diversified participation.

One of the most notable changes in Booster V2 is the removal of the 10% staking cap. Previously, users could only stake up to 10% of their total collateral value in HTM Tokens to maximize their Boosted APY. Now, users can stake in a competitive manner, where the more tokens they stake, the higher their rewards can become. This shift introduces a dynamic system that incentivizes users to stake more, fostering greater engagement and competition within the protocol.

Different from Booster V1, in Booster V2, there are two reward batches. In the first batch, users can achieve a Base APY by staking a certain percentage of HTM tokens relative to their position. Beyond this threshold, users can participate in the second batch, the Extra Booster batch, which offers additional rewards based on the amount of HTM tokens staked over the threshold required for the Base APY. This dual-layered structure ensures that all users secure a baseline yield while encouraging further staking for increased returns.

In addition to its integration with the Lending Protocol, the Booster V2 plays a pivotal role in the USH Staking Module. It drives revenue distribution to USH stakers using the same mechanism employed in the Lending Protocol. However, tokens used for boosting in the Lending Protocol are not eligible for boosting in the USH Staking Module. To facilitate easy position management, a migrate function is available, enabling users to migrate their staked tokens to the USH Staking Module without triggering the 7-day cooldown period when unstaking from the Booster.

By allowing multiple token types, enabling competitive staking, and integrating seamlessly with the USH Staking Module, Booster V2 establishes itself as a robust and adaptable system. It not only enhances user yields but also reinforces its role as a core utility module driving revenue across Hatom’s ecosystem.

Users can withdraw their staked HTM tokens at their discretion. However, each unstaking action initiates a 7-day cooldown period, which is strictly for the Booster. During these 7 days, users won't receive the boosted rewards but will only earn the supply APY in the Lending Protocol and Staking APY in the USH Staking Module. Please keep in mind that if the staked HTM or HTM-related tokens are part of farms or are staked in xExchange, additional cooldown periods specific to those platforms may apply, requiring extra time for full withdrawal.

With Booster V2, all boosted rewards are exclusively distributed in HTM tokens, reinforcing the token's role as the core utility within the ecosystem. During the 7-day unstaking cooldown period, users have the flexibility to restake their tokens if they change their mind, allowing them to immediately resume earning Boosted rewards without waiting for the cooldown to complete. This feature provides greater control over staking strategies, ensuring users can optimize their yields while maintaining uninterrupted participation in the protocol.
