Are you mining $TAB and want to put it to work?
People keep asking, what's next for TAB coin? Here I present to you, the concerted, community wide, permissionless effort to maximize TAB liquidity and give LP rewards back to the people.
The Challenge:
There is currently ~$2k liquidity for TAB on @astroport_fi . But neither pool is receiving $ASTRO rewards from the protocol gauges (currently incentivized with donations). In order to receive rewards, the pools need to receive ~2M $vxASTRO votes, because Astroport has ve/curve style incentive structure. ie more votes, more rewards.
The Solutions:
1. Community voting: Are you a vxASTRO holder? Do you know any vxASTRO holders? Consider asking them to vote for the $NEWT - $TAB pool for the next epoch.
2. Native Voter Incentive Mechanism: Anyone can permissionlessly post an incentive for VOTERS to a specific pool on @astroport_fi. However, it costs $8 fee to post.
3. Equinox Voter Incentive Mechanism: @Eclipsefi has 14M $ASTRO locked up in the voting contract, controlled by $ECLIP stakers- who are waiting to be incentivized to vote.
4. NFT Community ASTRO Voting: @NucleusCouncil is an NFT project who owns 1M $vxASTRO and has just opened a proposal to their DAO for where to vote with their bag. Do you stake any NCoS? Know anyone who does? Ask them to vote for the NEWT - TAB pool!
tldr: vote for the NEWT- TAB pool on @astroport_fi. Lets see how many votes this pool can get in the next 6 days.
📢Just a friendly reminder as time flies so fast...
Don't forget to cast your vote in current Epoch on Equinox 🗳️
Seems we're left with just a 2 bribed pool this time - not great, not terrible.
Heads up. ECLIP Holders.
As part of EclipseFi wind-down and full focus on @OrbitEarn, we’ve chosen not to maintain liquidity requirements for $ECLIP on @Gate_io.
As a result, it's being delisted alongside some other tokens.
If you hold $ECLIP on Gate, consider withdrawing to retain access.

✦ Chapter 2 and Beyond: Eclipse -> @OrbitEarn
As the team behind @Eclipsefi takes their journey to the next step, we'd like to thank them for their support so far and wish them luck going forward!
Find out how this update may effect community members:
🧵👇
eclipASTRO > ASTRO opportunity still live with the Equinox redemption model.
Right now 1 $eclipASTRO = ~0.896 $ASTRO on Astroport.
That’s a like 20% spread.
You can buy low → redeem → wait 2 or 4 weeks → unlock full $ASTRO value.
We just released a redemption mechanism for eclipASTRO, so shouldn't be a peg issue going forward.
14 days unbond there's a 5% fee
28 days no fee
This is so we don't flood the market with extra Astro
The main advantage of staying in is ECLIP incentives should continue for a while longer, so could be beneficial. But eventually will be tapered off.
Big update: We’re winding down @Eclipsefi to go all-in on @OrbitEarn.
But keep reading 👇🏻
After months of deep reflection, learnings, and iteration, we’ve made the decision to begin winding down Eclipse Fi in order to fully focus on building Orbit Earn into something truly impactful.
So here’s what this means:
- Equinox and governance voting will continue as long as there’s locked TVL, but no new features or builds will be added.
- The redemption model is now live, and we expect TVL to gradually unwind.
- Staked $ECLIP will continue to control voting while Equinox is live.
- There will be no more launchpad launches.
As shared before, Orbit will airdrop a portion of its future token to $ECLIP holders and stakers, with multiple snapshots to be taken over time. Staked tokens will carry more weight. Full details will come closer to the token launch, but initially focusing more on getting to PMF.
Looking back on a big few years, pushing through the unimaginable: There were many times we didn’t think we would make it through but kept pushing.
Eclipse did have its wins.
- 16K+ KYCed users bridged to Neutron with $5.3M in interest commitments on our token launch.
- Helped projects raise over $4M across public and private rounds.
- 100+ projects in the deadflow DD pipeline at one point.
- Launched Equinox and permalocked 30%+ of staked supply, hitting $1.5M+ in TVL.
- We also showed that we know UI and UX and can build some pretty clean user faces.
But we also hit a wall. We didn’t reach true product-market fit. And tbh, we found it hard to build the sustainable, scalable business we envisioned. It was especially hard choosing to remain in the shrinking Cosmos eco, combined with unpredictable market conditions. That's part of building. We learned, grew a lot and are grateful for the journey.
So what’s next? Orbit Earn.
We’re building Orbit to be a plug-and-play yield layer, powering real financial utility like auto-investing, bill pay, and embedded earn for the next wave of fintech and Web3 apps.
A few things to look forward to::
- Private mainnet going live soon
- Points + referral program launching
- Working with 4 signed pilot partners (147M+ combined MAUs)
- Growing list of interested integrators
- Focus on simplifying the user UX flows
We’re going all-in. If Eclipse was chapter one, Orbit is the main story.
Thanks to everyone who supported us, from stakers, to partners, to the community. We’ll make sure it’s been worth it. We’re not done. We’re just getting started.
I look forward to writing a founder memorandum soon of all the biggest mistakes and learnings along the way.
5/ Bribes are coming soon™ natively on the Astroport app.
Meanwhile, you can already add your bribes through @Eclipsefi's Equinox voting: https://t.co/nfNxZYlkrz
✦ Earning Rewards and Bribes on Astroport
Both rewards and bribes are valuable methods for increasing liquidity in specific pools on Astroport.
Deeper liquidity provides a better ecosystem for swaps, and the resulting swap fees lead to more revenue for $ASTRO stakers.
