Whirlpools Rotation #18: December 15th — December 29th
🌊 Whirlpools Rotation #18 🌀
- Duration: Thursday December 15, 2022 — Thursday December 29, 2022
- Total Rewards: The rewards are detailed below for each Whirlpool with total rewards of ~15K ORCA per rotation across all pools. All Whirlpools are now open and rewards will begin on Dec 15th at ~24:00 UTC.
- Orca made further progress this month in navigating its path toward further decentralization! There is an ongoing discussion in the Orca governance forum regarding conversion of treasury funds received from trading fees into USDC and SOL. Participate in the conversation and help shape the future of Orca!
- Orca’s newly elected governance council also recently held their first meeting. Full written minutes from the meeting will be released soon, so keep an eye on the governance channels in Orca’s Discord server.
- While following its own map towards full decentralization, Orca also supports the further decentralization of the Solana ecosystem as a whole. Liquid staking is one great way to help decentralize the validator network that makes Solana possible. Industry leaders Marinade and Lido have had great success helping to broaden adoption of liquid staking within Solana, but there is still lots of room for growth.
- This rotation Orca is highlighting smaller or recently launched stake pools. Each pool incorporates its own strategy for generating returns to stakers and improving the resiliency and decentralization of the Solana network. Check out each provider to learn more and see which staking pool (or pools) fits your goals.

🌊 Deepsea Insights 🌏
Something is brewing under the sea! Several pools have seen significant upticks in volumes and liquidity…what could it be?
It’s been an exciting month for Orca as the entire space creeps closer towards mass adoption. To the surprise of many, Stripe debuted a fiat-to-crypto payment onramp campaign. Solana is home to 11 of the 16 projects selected as launch partners, and Orca was on the list. This fiat-to-crypto onramp was built inside of the Orca UI. The onramp was made possible through an integration with Link (by Stripe).
On a separate note, co-founder Ori spoke on a panel about “How to Improve Web3 User Experience” at Taipei Blockchain Week, a yearly event bringing together industry professionals and blockchain enthusiasts from all over the world. The goal of the event revolves around educating the Taiwanese community on blockchain and celebrating Web3.
Lastly, Whirlpools Range Alerts are now available for everyone. In the past, only Orcanaut NFT holders could receive alerts via email, SMS, and/or Telegram when their Whirlpools positions moved out of range. This feature (powered by Notifi) is now available to all users.
While the markets continue to face waves of uncertainty, Orca continues to sail forward in the face of adversity. Happy Holidays. 🐋
