Optopi Launch

A lot of Buffer community members reading this report are now proud Optopi parents! It’s thrilling to see you flaunt the octopi on Twitter, and today our partner WL members will get to do the same starting at 4:00 PM UTC. Recently we also hosted a community call where we discussed many exciting narratives, including real yield on Buffer, the testnet, Buffer’s upcoming roadmap, and last but not least, the Optopi collection and its many utilities for holders. In case you missed the call, you can still tune into the recording, available here.

But let’s make it short, here are some of the important infos you need to know :

• 19th - mint for our community WL

• 20th - mint for our partner WL

• 21th - public mint

• for all latecomers: mint via this website

Please refer to the table below to know the different mint prices :

The collection has also been uploaded to Opensea. Please be careful with any other collection than the one available here. This is Buffer’s only official Optopi collection!

We look forward to the upcoming mint phases, and we are excited to see you flaunt your Optopis 🐙!

Revest Finance partnership

We are extremely pleased to announce our partnership with Revest Finance. For those of you wondering what this partnership entails – Buffer has allocated 15,000 USDC to be utilized in Revest’s Resonate pool, allowing users to take advantage of yield at 18.2% APR on their USDC! Pretty awesome right?

We love collaborating with all of the exceptional protocols on Arbitrum. Our most recent partnership highlight was GMD protocol.

This partnership allows users to :

• Earn real yield via delta-neutral USDC vault

• Stake USDC to mint BLP (BLP tokens being staked automatically)
