The second batch of vETH and MANTA recovery following the Hyperbridge incident has been completed.
A total of 34.1519 vETH and 282,509.8829 MANTA have been airdropped directly to eligible users' registered Ethereum addresses.
Recovery registration remains open through the Bifrost dApp for users who have yet to receive their assets.
Hyperbridge Asset Recovery Registration is Now Open
Users holding vETH or MANTA on Bifrost affected by the Hyperbridge incident can now register their Ethereum receiving address directly through the Bifrost dApp.
Once registered, asset recovery and reissuance to Ethereum will be processed through onchain governance. The final distribution timing will depend on the governance process.
Nearly 1M DOT minted into vDOT in one week.
The demand is coming from DeFi. On @hydration_net, users borrow DOT against their vDOT and mint more vDOT with it.
Each loop adds staking exposure on top of the rewards vDOT already earns.
With Acala preparing to wind down, we'd like to remind the LDOT holders to plan ahead for their withdrawals.
Around 1.92M DOT remains staked through LDOT. Please remember to unbond by Jan 12, 2027, or Dec 16, 2026 if your LDOT is validator-locked.
For those looking to continue staking DOT, vDOT offers optimized staking yield and faster exits 👉 app.bifrost.io/
What if your $DOT could earn staking rewards and still work for you in DeFi?
With vDOT, your DOT earns 4.64% staking APY while remaining usable as collateral on @hydration_net.
Borrow DOT at 1.74% APR, mint more vDOT, and repeat to potentially amplify your staking returns.
One whale recently minted 369K vDOT with over 616K DOT in a single day, then moved it to Hydration.
Same DOT exposure. More ways to earn.
Total staked $DOT just hit a new ATH of 922M.
With more DOT being staked than ever, where you stake makes a difference.
vDOT currently yields 4.43% APY, compared with 2.81% from direct staking.
For every 10,000 DOT staked, that’s roughly 162 extra DOT in annual rewards, or 57.7% more at current rates.
More yield with same underlying DOT.
Bifrost October Recap 🌈
- vDOT yield and Fast Redeem improved
- Runtime 27000 and USD Vault development advanced
Read here ⬇️bifrost.io/blog/bifrost-octo…
25,500 vDOT redeemed for 42,509.75 DOT in just 54 minutes.
Polkadot direct staking typically requires around 2 days to unbond.
With vDOT Fast Redeem, matching liquidity can give holders access to their DOT much sooner.
Polkadot is preparing to reduce its active validator set next month.
For $DOT stakers, validator selection is becoming more important.
With vDOT, Bifrost handles that process, continuously monitoring and optimizing nominations across active, high quality validators.
vDOT currently earns 4.17% APY and also offers faster exits when liquidity is available.
More efficient yield, with less to manage.
Nearly 30% of the total $BNC supply is now staked.
And over 52% of staked BNC is locked in bbBNC 🥞
With BNC buybacks and profit sharing, bbBNC currently offers around 17% APY.
Nearly 6,000 DOT flowed back to vDOT holders from self-run validators over the past month.
That additional validator incentive is pushing vDOT staking APY to 4.74%.
Every reward distribution is recorded onchain and visible on Bifrost Dapp.
Beyond holding $DOT, what other yield opportunities are you missing?
Native Staking: 2.81% APY
vDOT Liquid Staking: ~4.19% APY
And with $vDOT, your DOT can do even more:
- Lend & Borrow: Put vDOT to work on @hydration_net
- Farm: Earn additional yield through the DOT/vDOT pool
One asset. Multiple ways to earn.
If looping isn’t your style, the DOT/vDOT farm is the simpler route.
No borrowing. No liquidation risk.
Around 4.44% Farming APY on top of vDOT staking yield.
vDOT gives your DOT more ways to earn than holding ever could.

a few more details worth knowing 👇
1/ 60% of the revenue from @bifrost self-run validators flows back to vdot. every transfer is automated, transparent, and publicly verifiable.
2/ ~300 dot is added to vdot yields every day, compounding directly into nav.
3/ as @hydration_net continues to lower dot borrowing rates, borrowing dot now costs just 1.65% (at 51% utilization) and peaks at only 2.75% even at 85%.
vdot earns staking yield. borrowing against it costs 1.65%. that spread is the trade.
vDOT is currently earning 4.95% APY, compared with 2.82% from direct DOT staking.
Part of that difference comes from self-run validators. Bifrost shares 60% of validator rewards back with vDOT holders.
And 4.95% can be the starting point.
With Bifrost LoopStake, users can loop vDOT against borrowed DOT and increase total APY to around 8.77% at 4x leverage under current rates.
More staking yield.

Bifrost September Recap
- Runtime 26000 upgrade completed
- vDOT yield and redemption efficiency improved
- DOT transfers with Hydration went live
Read the report ⬇️ bifrost.io/blog/monthly-repo…
A referendum on @hydration_net to lower the aDOT borrow rate curve has passed.
At today’s ~40% utilization, DOT borrowing APY drops from 2.66% to 1.31%
That makes vDOT looping more capital efficient:
- Supply vDOT as collateral
- Borrow DOT
- Mint more vDOT on Bifrost
- Repeat to your target leverage
The opportunity comes from the spread between vDOT yield and DOT borrowing costs. With borrow APR now at 1.31%, more of that spread stays with the looper.
Even at 85% utilization, the new borrow rate is only 2.75%.
Lower borrowing costs, more efficient vDOT leverage.
Rates remain variable, and leverage introduces liquidation risk, so keep a healthy buffer.

Polkadot now pays validator incentives to validators themselves. Plain nominators never receive them.
vDOT is the first to pass this through: Bifrost's self-run validators share a portion of that incentive with vDOT holders.
Right now vDOT earns 0.46% more than native DOT staking, and we expect that gap to reach around 1%.
You can see it on the vDOT page in the Bifrost app. Open the yield breakdown to find every shared reward with each record verifiable onchain.
Native DOT staking requires more attention to validator selection, as validators can fall out of the active set.
With vDOT, Bifrost handles validator selection and optimization automatically, keeping your DOT delegated across active, high quality validators.
Validator optimization will also push vDOT APY higher, targeting 1% above native staking.
Coming soon.
vDOT is built for more efficient staking liquidity.
120,000 vDOT, representing nearly 200,000 DOT, redeemed in ~31 hours.
That’s around 34% less waiting time compared with Polkadot’s 2-day native unbonding period.
With Fast Redeem, new vDOT mints can be matched with redemption requests, making exits faster and staking more flexible.
