Exciting news for Solana enthusiasts: the Solstice points system, known as Flares, has officially launched, powering up the ecosystem's yield engine!

In the fast-paced world of DeFi, where liquidity optimization is key, Solstice is rolling out major incentives through its interest-bearing asset, eUSX. This move aims to boost participation and rewards for users looking to maximize their returns on the Solana blockchain.

  1. Getting Started in Minutes

Head over to the Solstice app and link up a wallet compatible with Solana. You'll snag an instant 1000 points reward just for jumping in—talk about a welcoming bonus to kick things off.

  1. Social Engagement Tasks

To amp up your points, grab the invite code "3fQD15PixP" and link it during signup. Then, scroll down to connect your X (formerly Twitter) account and drop a quick comment on the designated post—the verification here is pretty straightforward, so it's a breeze to wrap up.

  1. Staking and Yield Tasks

Within the official app, holding specific tokens unlocks bonus points multipliers, making it a smart play for long-term holders in the Solana space.

Keep in mind, there are a couple of one-time actions: swapping and locking, which involve exchanging for the relevant tokens. Heads up—points from these won't show up right away, so hang tight while they process.

Staking task example

For the swap task, simply exchange and hold USX tokens to earn your points. If you need to cash out later, reversing the swap lets you reclaim your original assets without hassle.

The lock-up task takes it a step further: swap into eUSX tokens and hold. Unlocking requires about 24 hours, after which eUSX converts back to USX automatically. Want to pivot to USDC or USDT? Just one more quick swap, and you're set.

  1. Boosting with Third-Party Liquidity Pools

Beyond the core app, you can deploy USX or eUSX into select third-party liquidity pools for a 'double-dip' reward strategy. This setup lets you stack Solstice points alongside trading fees from the external platform—efficiency at its finest for savvy DeFi users.

A Friendly Reminder: Any project involving asset management carries risks. Weigh your options carefully, assess your risk tolerance, and only commit funds you're comfortable with.
