Please note:
Snapshots of user balances and total pool balances will be taken multiple times at any point of time each hour to get users’ hourly average balances and calculate user rewards. User rewards will be updated each hour. Users will be able to accumulate their rewards (calculated each hour) and claim these rewards directly to their spot accounts at any time.Each pool’s annual percentage yield (APY) and total pool balance will be updated in real time.Tokens can only be staked in one pool at a time. For example, User A cannot stake the same BNB into two different pools at the same time, but can allocate 50% of their BNB into pool A and 50% into pool B.Users will be able to unstake their funds at any time with no delay and participate in any other available pools immediately.Tokens staked in each pool and any unclaimed rewards will be automatically transferred to each user’s spot accounts at the end of each farming period.Binance BNB Vault and Locked Products will support the Launchpool. Users who have staked their BNB in BNB Vault and Locked Products will automatically participate in the Launchpool, and receive new token rewards.If there are more than one Launchpool projects running concurrently, users' BNB assets in BNB Vault and Locked Products will be split and allocated into each project equally unless otherwise specified.BNB Vault assets collateralizing against Binance Loans (Flexible Rate) are not entitled to Launchpool rewards.BNB staked into Launchpool will still provide users with the standard benefits for holding BNB, such as airdrops, Launchpad eligibility and VIP benefits.
Participation in Launchpool is subject to eligibility based on the user's country or region of residence. Please refer to the instructions on the Launchpool page.
Please note that the list of excluded countries provided below is not exhaustive and may be subject to changes due to evolving local rules, regulations, or other considerations.Users need to complete their account verification and also be from an eligible jurisdiction to participate in farming ALT.
Currently, users residing in the following countries or regions will not be able to participate in farming ALT: Canada, Cuba, Crimea Region, Iran, Japan, New Zealand, Netherlands, North Korea, Syria, United States of America and its territories (American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands) and any non-government controlled areas of Ukraine

According to a Bloomberg report: Cathie Wood, the CEO of ARK Investment Management, stated that she would decidedly bet on Bitcoin as a shield against possible deflation in the upcoming decade, over gold or cash.

She restated her perspective that she anticipates a period of price decline, brought about by newer technologies including AI, electric vehicles, robotics, genomic sequencing, and blockchain. This stance has been consistent since 2021, even while markets have been bracing for heightened inflation risks.

During a discussion on Bloomberg’s Merryn Talks Money podcast regarding the asset classes that she would opt to hold for the next 10 years, Wood cited, “Bitcoin, hands down. Bitcoin is a hedge against both inflation and deflation because there’s no counterparty risk, and institutions are barely involved.” She went on to refer to Bitcoin as "digital gold."

Wood, known for her optimistic forecasts around cryptocurrency, anticipates it to profit from the expansive growth in new technologies and innovations. She has previously predicted that Bitcoin's price could surpass $1 million within the next decade. Currently, its price stands at approximately $35,000, around half of its peak price in 2021.

Despite a 64% drop in 2022, Bitcoin's value has more than doubled this year. Market participants have hailed it as a potential hedge against inflation, despite its relatively ineffective performance as such during the largest consumer-price surge since the early 1980s. Recently, the cryptocurrency has been on the rise amid hopes that the US Securities and Exchange Commission might approve Bitcoin-focused exchange-traded funds.

Wood and her firm are poised to leverage ETF approvals. They have applied for a Bitcoin ETF in collaboration with 21Shares and have invested in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. The trust, which has yielded about 224% returns this year, is the largest holding in Wood's $1.2 billion ARK Next Generation Internet ETF. This compares to Bitcoin's rally of roughly 114%. Some of its GBTC holdings were sold by ARK last month.

She also presages a convergence between AI and Bitcoin on the podcast, which, in her opinion, would “enable micro-tasks globally and a novel division of labor that we can't even imagine now.”
