Keep those Txns coming & we look forward to drawing our 1st week's winners soon 🎉 ![](https://i.imgur.com/oyK15ik.png) 2/3: As promised, with our Testnet launch, we will be raising rewards for BTC Liquidity Providers on SkyBridge by 25%. This is to ensure that there is enough BTC liquidity when SkyPools eventually launches on Mainnet. As a Christmas present from us to you, this will take effect on 27 December 12AM UTC. Meanwhile, provide liquidity and start earning 15% APR on your BTC today 🧑‍🌾 ![](https://i.imgur.com/yCL3G3X.png) 3/3: As we grow beyond network bootstrapping, we will lower Metanode rewards from 52% APR to 30% APR (mentioned previously). With SkyPools launch coming up, we're optimistic that there will be increased growth and revenues for Metanodes 🤝 Similarly, this change will take effect on 27 December 12AM UTC
