Hello, Kassandra Community!

Prepare yourselves for a pivotal moment in our journey.

As we usher in a new era, we’re thrilled to announce some monumental changes.

The Dawn of a New Chapter in Kassandra’s Managed Pools 🌅

Heimdall’s Sunset and A New Horizon

First and foremost, it’s important to address the end of Heimdall’s operations.

While the Elon-led takeover of Twitter has challenged Social Data analysis, this change isn’t a loss — it’s an opportunity. This means our Social Indexes for Avalanche and Polygon will no longer be updated, but rest assured, there’s no urgency for asset withdrawal.

In lieu of this, we are thrilled to unveil a revamped lineup of Featured Pools that align with our Managers Incentive Program. Our vision is to introduce intuitive, easy-to-understand Managed Pools that can be effortlessly promoted and integrated into partnerships with various projects and companies.

We’ve been diligently brainstorming and have some exciting pool concepts in the pipeline. And here’s the best part: we’ve been in talks with several institutional players, aiming to forge partnerships that will benefit both Kassandra and our native token, $KACY.

Sneak Peek into Our Pool Ideas 👀

Polygon:

  • Top protocols on Polygon by TVL
  • DeFi Blue Chips: Leading DeFi protocols by Market Cap

Arbitrum:

  • Top protocols on Arbitrum by TVL
  • Liquid Staking: Focused on liquid staking leaders
  • Derivatives Protocols: On-chain derivatives market leaders and hidden gems

Avalanche:

  • Top protocols on Avalanche by TVL

Beyond these, we are also contemplating an Optimized Stablecoin Yield pool for each chain, which will be rolled out once certain security issues are resolved.

These are not just regular pools; they’re institutional-grade portfolios designed to meet the discerning needs of sophisticated investors.

What are your thoughts on this new array of our Managed Pools? Your feedback is not just welcome; it’s encouraged. Feel free to drop your suggestions and even opt to manage one of these exciting new pools!

  • HMX 🆕
  • Camelot DEX (GRAIL) 🆕
  • DOPEX (DPX) 🆕
