When you dive into DeFi you surely understand that reward dilution is one of the biggest problems: the more users join, the smaller your slice gets. It's time to flip the script.

What if whales helped small fish win? And if small fish contributed to whale success? Imagine everyone working toward shared KPI milestones where hitting targets boosts everyone's yields? Enter the Orcadium.

It's our experimental campaign where your $USDK deposits boost everyone's yields - including yours. Think of it as an underwater amphitheater where orcas gather to feast on yield together. The more orcas join the performance, the richer the feast becomes for everyone.

The Orcadium delivers:

  • 2M wSWELL incentives based on TVL KPIs

  • Real-time tracking via Metrom dashboard

  • Higher yields as more people join (everyone wins)

Brought to you by Orki Finance, powered by Metrom, supported by Swellchain, and co-sponsored by Relend Protocol.

Your $USDK deposits trigger TVL KPIs in this cooperative amphitheater. Hit a TVL KPI = yield boost unlocks for everyone using that same activity.

Mechanics:

  • $USDK activity in Stability Pools and LPs has its own TVL targets

  • Reach target = automatic yield boost for all orcas performing in that activity

  • Early performers benefit when new orcas join and push TVL higher

  • New orcas benefit from existing TVL momentum when they enter the amphitheater

Example:

  • Activity reaches $1,000 TVL = KPI campaign activates, rewards start flowing

  • Activity reaches $100,000 TVL = Maximum feast unlocked, full reward distribution

  • Campaign runs for 30 days: August 15th - September 15, 2025 | 2M wSWELL total rewards

Coordination creates abundance, and everyone feasts together.

Deposit $USDK to secure the protocol while earning feast rewards:

  • ETH Stability Pool: ~19% APR + Orki Drops x1.5

  • swETH Stability Pool: ~19% APR + Orki Drops x1.5

  • rswETH Stability Pool: ~19% APR + Orki Drops x1.5

  • SWELL Stability Pool:~19% APR + Orki Drops x1.5

  • weETH Stability Pool: ~19% APR + Orki Drops x1.5

Each pool needs $100k TVL to unlock maximum feast rewards. Your deposits help everyone reach the target.

SPECIAL: 5x Orki Drops multiplier for this campaign (up from 2.5x)!

Provide liquidity on Velodrome while earning the highest feast multipliers:

  • USDK/USDe Pool: 36.23% APR + Orki Drops x5

  • USDK/WETH Pool: 36.23% APR + Orki Drops x5

  • USDK/rUSDC Pool: 59% APR + Orki Drops x5

Stability Pools and Velodrome LPs you can access boosted wSWELL rewards and more protocol revenue while TVL grows. Cooperation creates abundance instead of fighting for scraps.

The Orcadium uses Metrom's dashboard to track everything live:

  • Your personal contributions to Orcadium TVL and feast rewards

  • Global Orcadium TVL progress toward next feast tier

  • Community performance stats across the amphitheater

  • Mission progress across all Orcadium activities

See exactly how your performance in the amphitheater drives collective results with a dashboard that shows your contributions.

Finally, a campaign dashboard that shows you exactly how much alpha you're generating instead of making you do mental gymnastics with Excel sheets. Your accountant will thank us.

Campaign runs: 30 days

  • Starts: August 15, 2025

  • Ends: September 15, 2025

  • Total Feast: 2M wSWELL tokens

Orcadium phases:

  1. The amphitheater opens, early orcas enter and start earning

  2. TVL builds across pools, KPI thresholds activate rewards

  3. Higher TVL targets reached, maximum abundance flows to all

  4. Orcadium closes, final rewards distributed, votes open for Season 2

Four phases of watching the underwater amphitheater fill with orcas while getting paid for cooperative performance.

DeFi's biggest problem? More users usually means smaller rewards for everyone. The Orcadium flips this completely.

Shared KPI milestones mean everyone wins together. Hit targets = wSWELL rewards for all participants. Your success helps whales succeed. Whale success helps you succeed.

What this means for you:

  • Early entry: Get in first, benefit from every whale that joins after you

  • Late entry: Jump in and immediately benefit from existing TVL momentum

  • Big capital: Your whale deposits boost everyone's yields (including yours)

  • Small capital: Ride whale momentum to higher APRs than you'd get alone

Brought to you by Orki Finance, powered by Metrom, supported by Swellchain, and co-sponsored by Relend Protocol, the Orcadium turns DeFi's biggest weakness into everyone's strength.

  1. Bridge your tokens to Swellchain if you haven't already

  2. Use your LSTs and LRTs as collateral to mint USDK on Orki

  3. Choose your Orcadium performance:

    • Deposit USDK in Stability Pools (ETH, swETH, rswETH, SWELL, weETH)

    • Provide USDK liquidity on Velodrome (USDK/USDe, USDK/WETH, USDK/rUSDC)

  4. Track your performance progress on Metrom

  5. Watch yields amplify as Orcadium TVL builds

Stack Orcadium performances (Stability + LP) to maximize both Orki Drops multipliers AND wSWELL rewards.

Nearly 3 months ago: explosive launch incentives.
Today: celebrating 3 months of Orki with the Orcadium based on your feedback. More orcas joining the amphitheater = more you earn. Simple.

The Orcadium is open. Enter and feast.
