3/ With tDOT, you no longer have to choose between holding an LST of DOT or providing liquidity - you now do both!
Protocols also don't have to choose between integrating various derivative assets, and instead can adopt tDOT and have access to all of it's underlying liquidity.
7/ We had also received the very first @AcalaNetwork Ecosystem Grant and proved a huge boon for the space (under the previous name of Tapio).

2/ As more parachains and protocols offer staking products, DOT liquidity will become increasingly more fragmented and siloed.
Taiga seeks to address this for both builders and users alike - promising a better experience for DOT holders, liquidity providers, and traders!

With different derivative formats, it creates:
✅Liquidity silos due to unique mechanism

$tDOT can solve the liquidity fragmentation

The benefits of staking & crowdloan $DOT derivatives?
✅Higher yields
✅Unlocks liquidity
✅Lower participation requirement
✅Flexible redemption
Different format derivatives introduced by parachains offer increased utility and flexibility for locked staked assets

$tDOT can aggregate the liquidity of different derivatives. Thanks to XCM:
1⃣The derivative liquidity can be transferred and used to mint $tDOT on @AcalaNetwork
2⃣Transfer $tDOT back to original Parachain
With that, Parachain can remain TVL & unlock idle liquidity
As the @Polkadot ecosystem grows, lots of $DOT derivatives will come up.
If you still don't know how #Tapio can unify different formats of staking and crowdloan derivatives into a highly efficient standard. Here is a quick review to catch up👇
