Okay, so its not as bad as I was fearing.
I already have metamask, and PolyCub.com automatically adds the network.
Here's the guide that @roleerob kindly shared with me.
The only thing is - Polycub adds it 'wrong'.
@edicted and @nealmcspadden helped me in the LEO discord.
It turns out crypto is a really social phenomenon, sharing the information is an important part of the process.
I'm heading over to Polycub.com because I want to claim my Polycub airdrop. I am way behind the times, I still don't really know how it works, but that's what this crazy space is all about - learning.
If I have some tokens, I will be motivated to read the posts about how it all works - at least that's the goal. I have been CUB den-ing with some spare funds for 100 years it seems like, so why not claim my free tokens.
So you might have heard that PolyCub is going to build out an HBD:USDC pool, and they are shooting for 5MM dollars in liquidity. As someone who has been supporting expanding HBD utility in DEFI stable protocols (consider my proposal to deepen the HBD:BUSD liquidity pool that already exists) - I support what they are doing.
This is exactly the same as the SWAP.HBD:SWAP.BUSD pool - wrapped versions of the tokens - its just that as my proposal hasn't gotten enough votes, I feel like the LEOfinance team will actually have the grit to give yield to the pool to make it work, something that those on HIVE seem unwilling to do from the DHF fund. BXT has done this for SWAP.HBD:SWAP.BUSD.
So these advances are treading known, and important territory. This is how networks develop! Can't be married to any one branch - they should all grow!
When you are doing new things, anything can seem like an error. I made some clicks, went to BSC and back, and then got worried about what I was seeing.
I needed to get some MATIC to make the airdrop claim, and so I went to BeeSWAP to buy some with SWAP.HIVE.
Then I went to https://tribaldex.com/wallet/ to withdraw the SWAP.MATIC for MATIC in my metamask wallet.
I am not sure how big the transaction fees will be, I guess we are going to find out.
Boy - seems pretty cheap!
So now what do I do with it? I have heard about xPolyCub and the ratio, and in the recent HBD post I read that these will have governance power to distribute yields in the future. I will definitely be voting for the HBD pool.
So I guess I have to enable first, another tx with 0.005 MATIC cost, about 3/4 of a penny, not bad, although not nearly as good as HIVE.
Turns out the approval was 0.0027 and the staking was 0.0135 - but either way a few cents is pretty cheap to stake my 66 dollars into xPolyCub.
Now I own 0.01% of the pool!
Who knows what the future will hold, but I am hugely bullish on projects with active devs, like LEOfinance, as well as on the potential for HBD integration to moon the price of HIVE.
Only time will tell!
Freedom and Friendship
