Bifrost Governance on Subsquare, Ep. 2 ✌️ Last week, we introduced Bifrost's governance structure, mentioning how we have moved the discussion from our Forum to Subsquare.

⏳Did you know that Bifrost vsBond has an 84-day redemption period?

After the expiration date, vsBond will no longer be available for Redeem or Order. ❔Check your vsBond status, here: http://bifrost.app/vcrowdloan?tab=market With the Convert Function, users can still recover part of the losses by turning expired bonds into fresh vsKSM units! ↔️ ❔Check how to convert vsBond into vsKSM: http://bifrost.app/swap?tab=convert Medium article ⤵️ https://bifrost-finance.medium.com/the-first-batch-of-kusama-vsbond-will-expire-on-august-6-be-sure-to-process-the-redemption-on-time-b5568fecd0a3

Bifrost's SLP protocol is keeping user's assets safe even during Slash events with its smart staking, quick actions and insurance buffer. Recent Kusama chaos story tells a lot about it ⤵️ Bifrost SLP protocol solutions: ✅ Bearing the Slash risk, for each vToken holder the risk is diluted. ✅ Efficient & smart staking strategies balance the rate of return and Slash risk. ✅ Swiftly modifying the set of validators they entrust, enables rapid response in the event of a slash. ✅ An insurance mechanism provides users with a buffer compensation when a Slash occurs, as explained in the article above. ✅ Different compensation mechanisms designed to adapt to several slash situations. That's why, relying on SLP is a better strategy to get involved in PoS networks than staking individually. Medium Article 📬
