Yes! GTK is now functional and capable of accepting liquidity from matchers/lenders and trades from traders. Let’s see how volume changes over time at

We're working on an infra upgrade for GTK that should take no more than 2-3 days. Once that happens, we should see increased volumes and liquidity on GTK from interested supporters! Then institutions like the ones we've mentioned can scale in as traction develops.

Rowan:USDC Yield at 815% APR on SifDEX, paid in USDC! . Yield has been available for a few days but we're only just tweeting about it after fixing a data feed issue on SifDEX. We still plan to ship Storehouse and Wheat to make Rowan deflationary! Stay tuned!.

GTK Trading API Up!.

First PR for Storehouse and Wheat was submitted a few days ago We are very serious about burning up to 90% of the tokens and going hyper deflationary 😤.

Stay tuned for more updates imminently on STF and Storehouse and Wheat, both of which have also had strong progress!.

GTK now provides a strong margin trading experience and the right capital partners come along it can bring in a lot of yield. One way to invigorate usage is with a new token that’s airdropped based on usage of GTK, which we’ve considered but are currently focused on Rowan for now.

We’re considering building out that API, but our primary focus has been on STF and Storehouse and Wheat so we’ll need to see how the community’s conversation evolves on it and how much additional matcher/lender capital and trading capital can be expected.

A sizable trading firm offered to run trading volume through GTK if it had a conventional API. They have the capital to oversubscribe the current limited liquidity on GTK, which could then attract more lending, leading to a virtuous cycle of growth and yield for Rowan holders.

Still, GTK will need to build stronger volume to actually make bring in consistent revenue. There’s a chicken-and-egg problem. You need matched / lender liquidity for traders to trade with and you need trading liquidity for matchers / lenders to earn yield from.

This is why you sometimes see matcher yields as high as 2000% for individual trades in the GTK UI. A random sampling of trades show plenty with 1000% or 500% and a lot of early trades were done at very high leverage leading to very high yield.

The yield a matcher gets varies depending on how much leverage the trader uses and how much the matcher hedges, but it should always be much larger than if they actually lent all 100% of the capital. This is explained more here and

Because GTK has concentrated lending, matchers/lenders do not have to provide all the capital that traders borrow. In the example in this spreadsheet they provide just 6%.

Matcher APR stats now the GTK UI!. Matchers/lenders can now check the stats on multiple pages at to get insights on how much yield others are earning. This can increase the amount of liquidity provided if it comes with a commensurate amount of trading.

RT @JazearBrooks: Excited to share at @AGIHouseSF !. In this demo, a user solves a Github….

We are so close on these Matcher APR calcs; in the mean time, Rowan:USDC yield on SifDEX is at 700%+ APR paid in USDC 🚀🚀.

RT @sifchain: Storehouse and Wheat is now our main crypto dev focus. It would land take 2-5 weeks from now, but we are hoping STF will cut….

Storehouse and Wheat is now our main crypto dev focus. It would land take 2-5 weeks from now, but we are hoping STF will cut a lot of that time down and be a good case study. It’s launch date would be a definitive date by when Rowan will reduce inflation or go deflationary.

STF can currently use Sifchain, we’re demoing with potential corporate users and figuring out the best way to demo blockchain functionality over the next 1-2 weeks.

Great question! GTK’s Match Trades page already has Matcher APR per trade but we’re working through tests on getting an average version of that stat on multiple pages (maybe 2-7 days away). More on STF and Storehouse and Wheat below.
