In November 2020, we have released the AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program, together with two liquidity pools on Uniswap distributing rewards in ALBT to users that stake their liquidity provisioning on our Liquidity Mining platform. Now, 3 months later, we support 3 different protocols spread over 2 blockchains with 7 pools, 2 of which are multi-asset reward pools through the AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Partner Program (with Frontier and Ocean). Recently we hit the $10 million USD mark worth of liquidity provided. To date (January 23rd), over $13M is locked in pools!
Besides the success of the Liquidity Mining Program, we are amazed by the rapid increase of ALBT token holders. Currently, well over 8.000 wallets are holding the ALBT token and the growth rate is really astonishing, showing great evidence of a vivid community. Find the evolution of wallets holding the ALBT token below:
In parallel to the unique addresses holding ALBT increasing rapidly, the growth rate for participants in our Liqudity Mining Program is no less impressive. The AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program is our first standalone product and forms the foundation of the AllianceBlock ecosystem. We launched our first liquidity pools in 2020 and have subsequently expanded to support more pools and blockchains. Thousands of users have now taken part in our liquidity mining program, and we expect this to only grow as 2021 progresses while we keep adding more features and support more protocols.
The AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program is important to the AllianceBlock protocol for a number of reasons. We are building a protocol capable of bridging TradFi with DeFi. This will see capital flow to DeFi. However, to allow for this, we need to bring sufficient liquidity to DeFi ecosystems. The AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program is the first step for us to provide this liquidity.

Just the beginning
AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining is a live product and as an important component of our ecosystem, it grows, matures, and expands, new features and product dependencies are being added to provide additional utility and capability, here are the most important additions so far:
- ABLM v1.0.0 — Core ABLM platform
- ABLM v1.1.0 — Stability updates and extended analytical functionalities
- ABLM v1.2.0 — Multi-Asset and Multi-Protocol support and AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Partnership
- ABLM v1.2.7 — Extended UI and Roadmap update
- ABLM v1.3.0 — Multi Chain support and LM on Binance Smart Chain
- ABLM v1.3.2 — UI Improvements
The AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program will integrate with the AllianceBlock Protocol as one of the foundational pillars. While we are pleased with the progress to date, there is still much more to come. We previously discussed the new features coming in Q1 2021, including adding support for Bancor, Mooniswap, and Sushiswap.
The coming months will not only see additional protocols to be added, but also a number of improvements, new features like staking of ALBT, analytics and an impermanent loss hedging mechanism will provide better tools to manage your liquidity through the AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining UI.
A fiat gateway, through our exchange partner Liquid, allows for lowering the barriers for users new to Liquidity mining. An extensive statistics overview provides detailed information on their staking and pooling details, including user specific analytics. This is to make it easier for users to gauge their positions. Importantly, we will also implement impermanent loss hedging, to protect the position of those pooling tokens against significant price movements of one or more of the underlying assets being staked.
We are releasing details on each product that AllianceBlock is currently working on. These products will all be independent but will interconnect to create the AllianceBlock ecosystem. The AllianceBlock Liquidity Mining Program is a much-needed part of this ecosystem and will be the foundation of another product, our the DeFi Terminal. We look forward to being able to share more details in the near future!
