V1 — inception

We have released the CVI V1 beta version back in October 2020, and have been optimizing and improving it since, welcoming new users to the platform and gradually growing the total value locked, number of trades and all growth parameters. The CVI trading platform has been live on mainnet since January and has been generating cash flow for $GOVI holders.

Volatility trading — a growing trend

CVI is the first decentralized platform to trade market volatility, the same way traders do on traditional markets with the VIX. Our belief is that Crypto Volatility trading will be just…

As the crypto market keeps on seeing volatile trends, the potential gains from trading the Crypto Volatility Index (CVI) are massive.

Here are the most successful trades on the CVI in the past week:

The CVI team was invited to the GEM Collectors Telegram group for a live AMA discussing all about the Crypto Volatility Index.

​Crypto_Thai:
Welcome Team CVI to the Gem Collector’s! 🏆🙌
CVI is something totally new from the COTI team. Can you tell us something about this phenomenon?

Efrat:
Sure. Crypto Volatility Index (CVI) is a revolutionary and first-of-its-kind decentralized Crypto Volatility Index for the crypto market. https://www.cvi.finance/

The CVI brings a new set of tools to the DeFi space. Users can:

• Buy a position in the index if they believe volatility in crypto is about to grow, as a…

We have now opened our liquidity mining program for rHEGIC2 token holders. Users who provide liquidity to the rHEGIC2- ETH pool on Uniswap can now stake their rHEGIC2- ETH LP tokens and earn $GOVI rewards.

The staking contract can also be found at this address: 0x93b61632Ed13C546A005BD8DF8d51FaF144BADe5

The rewards plan for rHEGIC2-ETH will continue for at least one month, with the possibility of increasing the $GOVI rewards amount during this period of time.

We are happy to share that $GOVI is live on Blockfolio Signal and the Crypto Volatility Index (CVI) users can now receive ongoing updates via their Blockfolio app.

Blockfolio is the world’s leading cryptocurrency portfolio tracker app and broadcasting on Blockfolio Signal will allow us to reach $GOVI holders and constantly inform you on new developments and other exciting announcements.

Watch $GOVI on the Blockfolio app:

Following yesterday’s update about doubling the $GOVI rewards for traders, we are now opening a new incentive plan for those who provide liquidity on SushiSwap.

This allows The Crypto Volatility Index greater exposure to the Defi community while growing more liquidity to $GOVI.

The pairs are available here: ETH-COTI or ETH-GOVI

How to do it?

After providing liquidity to the COTI-ETH or GOVI-ETH pools in SushiSwap, you will receive COTI-ETH-SLP or GOVI-ETH-SLP tokens.

On the liquidity mining page, choose the LP tokens you’d like to stake and choose the SushiSwap option:

As we constantly evaluate the platform’s incentives we set rewards in order to ensure we encourage the right user behaviour. We are now optimizing towards increasing the platform fees that $GOVI stakers will collect. To make it possible, we are increasing the rewards for trading on the platform (buying and selling a position).

As of March 22nd, we’ll be raising the $GOVI rewards for traders.

Users who open positions can now gain up to 2,700 $GOVI per day! You can see it under the positions tab in the CVI platform.
