Arctic features significant upgrades from the Float Alpha, with the contracts being completely rewritten. The most notable new features are:

  • Introduction of tranched liquidity and Float pools
  • Fixed exposure markets
  • Variable leverage tiers for each market
  • Fixed epoch price updates
  • Smart markets

Alpha#

The Float Alpha went live on 17/08/2021 at 14:00 UTC on Polygon, and 07/12/21 at 17:00 on Avalanche.

Float Alpha was a production ready, gigachad protocol that ran with real capital with fully audited smart contracts.

The Polygon deployment featured six markets:

  • The Flipp3ning (ETH mkt cap / BTC mkt cap)
  • 3TH
  • 2OHM
  • 2AXS
  • 2LINK
  • Crypto Volatility Index

The Avalanche deployment featured four markets:

  • 2AVAX
  • 2JOE
  • 2QI
  • 2SPELL

The alpha featured an NFT discount, where holders of the Rumble Kongs NFT collection got discounts on unstaking fees.

Traders using the alpha were awarded gems once every 24 hours as a reward for trading in the protocol. Progressive gem scores would unlock NFTs for the user to mint.

The Alpha deployment issued aFLT as an incentive to balance markets. aFLT is non-transferrable and will be redeemable for FLT tokens at a later date.

Alpha markets were upgraded into Arctic markets at launch.
