Let's start with How Clever protocol works

  • No liquidation and self-repaying since it borrow in the same asset

Investment Options

Mainly visulize the tweet thread from @lLANERO https://twitter.com/iamllanero/status/1585758590295429120 https://twitter.com/iamllanero/status/1584947322948964358

1. Easy Mode (Deposit in Furnance)​

Target Customer: Use the Clever to gain more CVX.

Step 1: I have 100 $CVX that I deposit into CLever. This gives me the immediate ability to claim 500 clevCVX. My current position is:

  • 1000 CVX deposited
  • 0 clevCVX owed
  • 500 clevCVX claimable

Step 2: After I claim all 500 clevCVX, my position is:

  • 1000 CVX deposited
  • 500 clevCVX owed
  • 0 clevCVX claimable

Step 3: I decide to deposit my clevCVX 500 into the Furnace, my position is:

  • 1000 CVX deposited
  • 500 clevCVX owed
  • 0 clevCVX claimable
  • 500 clevCVX deposited in Furnace
  • 500 CVX pending in Furnace

Step 4 (No action for user): After the harvest, assume there's 1 M CVX in CLever, 300K of clevCVX in Furance and the bribe round harvest is 8K CVX after fees. I get 13.3 CVX (500 clevCVX / 300K clevCVX in Furnance => 0.167% * 8K CVX harvest)

  • 1000 CVX deposited
  • 500 clevCVX owed
  • 0 clevCVX claimable
  • 486.7 clevCVX deposited in Furnace
  • 486.7 CVX pending in Furnace
  • 13.3 CVX claimable in Furnace

2. LP farmer in a Curve clevCVX-CVX LP pool/ Balancer 90/10 clevCVX-CVX pool​

Target customer: Love the Clever project, and willing to put the investment gain into Clev token.

Step 1: If you have both CVX and clevCVX, Go to Curve factory and deposit

Step 2: After deposit, Approve& Deposit the clevCVX_CVX into CLever farming page

Step 3: Optional you can also use the Zap option, to deposit only one token from the following list CLevCVX, CVX, WETH, ETH, USDC.

Step 4: You can boost your Curve LP pool by lock your ClevCVX as veCLEV. You can know min veCLEV for max boost. 1 ClevCVX lock for 4 years = 1 veCLEV.

Step 1: If you have both ETH and CLEV, Go to Curve factory and deposit
