TINY100: Celebrating 100M TINY Locked in Governance

The Tinyman community is approaching a powerful milestone: 100 million TINY tokens locked in governance.

This isn’t just about numbers — it’s a testament to belief.

Belief in decentralized governance.

Belief in long-term commitment.

Tinyman is at the forefront of the Algorand ecosystem — not just building, but delivering real DeFi that works. We’re not slowing down. We’re just getting started.

Today, we’re marking a huge milestone — TINY100 — not just as a celebration of our governors, but as a heartfelt thank‑you for locking in Tinyman’s future.

📸 The Snapshot

Once the 100M milestone is reached, a snapshot will be taken at an undisclosed block.

To be eligible for rewards, wallets must have at least 5,000 TINYPower at the time of the snapshot.

This unlocks two exclusive rewards:

🎖️ TINY100 NFT — 4 Commemorative Tiers

Eligible governors will receive a TINY100 NFT, based on the amount of TINYPower held at the time of the snapshot:

• 🟫 Bronze: 5,000–24,999 TINYPower

• ⬜ Silver: 25,000–99,999 TINYPower

• 🟨 Gold: 100,000–999,999 TINYPower

• 💎 Diamond: 1,000,000+ TINYPower

These NFTs are on-chain collectibles and may unlock future perks, access, or bonuses.

The higher your tier, the greater the potential.

💰 Airdrop Draw — $1,000 in TINY

All eligible wallets (≥ 5,000 TINYPower) will also be entered into a randomized airdrop draw:

• 20 winners will receive $50 worth of TINY each

• No action required — eligibility is based solely on the snapshot state

🔧 How It Works

• No claims. No UI updates. No added steps.

• All rewards will be sent directly to eligible wallets

• NFTs will be distributed shortly after the campaign concludes

• Airdrop winners will be announced and paid out via direct transfer

🛠️ What You Need to Do

Here’s how to make sure you’re eligible:

• Lock your TINY at https://app.tinyman.org/governance/lock

• Make sure your TINYPower is at least 5,000

• Stay locked — the snapshot will be taken after the 100M milestone is reached

• Follow Tinyman’s official channels for announcements

💬 Final Words

This is a milestone made by the community — for the community.

It’s not just 100 million tokens. It’s 100 million votes of confidence.

If you’re already locked in: thank you.

If you’re not yet: now is the time.

Let’s cross 100M together.

⚠️ A Quick Note on Security

Beware of scams.

For this campaign, Tinyman will not ask you to connect your wallet to claim anything.

All NFT rewards and airdrops will be distributed automatically to eligible wallets.

Always rely on official channels for announcements and links.

Big news, Tinyman community:
Trigger Orders (Limit Orders) and Recurring Orders (DCA) are LIVE.

You asked. We listened. We built!

Now, the biggest DEX on Algorand is taking your trading experience to the next level — with more control, smarter strategies, and powerful automation.

🔥 Why This Is a Game-Changer

Until now, trading on Tinyman has been all about instant swaps — perfect for market orders, but limited for those who want more strategy, more precision, and more flexibility.

That’s changing. Now, you’ll be able to:

✅ Set your own price with Trigger Orders
✅ Automate buys with Recurring Orders
✅ Trade smarter with less screen time
✅ Stay in full control of your assets — on-chain and non-custodial

Next-level trading of your favorite tokens has arrived on Algorand.

💡 What Are Trigger Orders?

A Trigger Order, also known as Limit Order, lets you choose the price at which you want to buy or sell a token. Instead of accepting the current market price, your order will only be executed once the market reaches your target.

Example:
🟢 Want to buy ALGO at $0.20? Set a trigger buy order.
🔴 Want to sell ALGO at $1.00? Set a trigger sell order.

Once your price hits, the trade goes through automatically — no manual steps, no constant monitoring. Just smart trading on your terms.

Partial fills? No problem — you’ll be able to claim them directly. This feature is coming soon.

🔁 What Are Recurring Orders?

Recurring Orders let you automate regular buys of a token — also known as Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA).

Instead of buying all at once, you can buy smaller amounts at regular intervals — every minute, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly — reducing the impact of volatility and taking emotion out of the equation.

Why it matters:
✅ Smooths out price fluctuations
✅ Great for long-term investors
✅ Set it and forget it — your strategy runs on autopilot

⚙️ How It Works

Both Limit Orders and Recurring Orders are:
🔗 Fully on-chain — every order is recorded and managed directly on the Algorand blockchain
🔒 Secure by design — funds are held in smart contracts, not by any centralized entity
⚡ Fast & low-cost, thanks to Algorand’s high-speed, low-fee architecture
🎯 Built into the Tinyman UI for a smooth and intuitive experience

When you place a Trigger or Recurring Order, your funds are temporarily deposited into a smart contract.

✅ If the order is executed, the resulting tokens are automatically sent to your wallet.
❎ If you cancel the order, your original funds are returned to your wallet immediately.

You stay in control of your strategy — with full transparency and no middlemen.

🙌 Built for You — Because You Asked

These features aren’t just nice-to-haves — they’re directly inspired by your feedback.

Our community made it clear:
You wanted more control, better tools, and smarter ways to trade.

So we built them.

Tinyman is more than just a DEX. It’s a platform shaped by its users — and we’re just getting started.

🔑 Early Access for TINY Governors

Want to be first in line?

TINY Governors holding at least 2,000 TINY Power will get early access to Trigger Orders and Recurring Orders.

After the initial launch phase, TINY Governors will benefit from exclusive fee discounts on both Trigger Orders and Recurring Orders.

Being a TINY governor has never been more rewarding!

By locking your TINY in governance, you don’t just get new features first and fee discounts — you also:

💰 Earn Weekly TINY Rewards
Lock your tokens and receive governance rewards paid out weekly in TINY.

📊 Direct the Flow of Farming Rewards
Vote on which liquidity pools should receive TINY incentives — and help guide capital toward the projects you believe in.

🗳️ Shape the Protocol
Participate in on-chain governance votes that determine major upgrades and strategic decisions for Tinyman.

🔥 Boost Your ALGO Staking
Stake ALGO in the Stakepool, and then restake your tALGO as a Governor to earn extra TINY — on top of your regular staking rewards.

✨ And there’s more to come
Governors are at the heart of Tinyman’s evolution — and the perks will only keep growing.

🚀 Ready to Trade Like a Pro?

Trigger Orders and Recurring Orders are LIVE!
Get ready to automate your strategy, fine-tune your entries and exits, and take full control of your DeFi experience.

This is your DEX. Built on Algorand. Powered by you.

To mark the launch of staking rewards on Algorand and supercharge the adoption of tALGO, Tinyman is kicking off an exciting new campaign. With a whopping 1,000,000 TINY tokens up for grabs, this initiative rewards projects that create tALGO pools with their ASAs and hit specific TVL milestones.

Ready to learn more? Let’s dive in!

What is tALGO?

tALGO is the liquid staking representation of ALGO. By staking ALGO, users receive tALGO, which unlocks additional earning potential. Users can:

• Earn staking rewards on their staked ALGO.
• Utilize tALGO in liquidity pools to earn LP fees.
• Access additional TINY farming rewards.

This makes tALGO pools a more capital-efficient solution for both users and projects.

Why Use tALGO Pools?

Triple Rewards for Liquidity Providers

With tALGO, your users can earn:

• Staking Rewards: Rewards for securing and decentralising the network..
• LP Fees: From trading activity in the pool.
• Farming Rewards: Additional TINY tokens when TVL milestones are reached.

This triple-reward mechanism attracts liquidity providers and boosts participation.

Capital Efficiency

By using tALGO, your users retain staking rewards while participating in liquidity pools, optimizing their capital efficiency and maximizing returns.

Contribute to Algorand’s Security

Unlike traditional liquidity pools, tALGO pools ensure that the underlying staked ALGO actively contributes to the security and decentralization of the Algorand blockchain. This dual-purpose functionality strengthens both your project and the Algorand network.

How the Tiered Rewards Mechanism Works

TVL Milestones and Rewards

• Tier 1 (10K TVL):
• Reward: 20,000 TINY tokens ($1,000).
• Trigger: Pool reaches $10,000 in TVL.
• Tier 2 (20K TVL):
• Reward: Additional 30,000 TINY tokens ($1,500).
• Trigger: Pool reaches $20,000 in TVL.
• Tier 3 (50K TVL):
• Reward: Additional 50,000 TINY tokens ($2,500).
• Trigger: Pool reaches $50,000 in TVL.

Reward Allocation and Timeline

• Total Rewards: 1,000,000 TINY tokens will be allocated to tALGO pools that qualify.
• Start Date: January 23, 2025.
• End Date: April 15, 2025.
• First Come, First Serve: Rewards are distributed to pools in the order they hit TVL milestones. Once all rewards are allocated, no new pools will qualify for this campaign.
• Reward Setup: When a pool reaches a TVL milestone, the Tinyman Team will set up the reward program within three business days. Rewards will then be distributed over the following 90 days.

The long-awaited moment has arrived, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you — Tinyman Liquid Staking is now LIVE! 🎉

We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to bring something groundbreaking to the Algorand community, and now it’s time to dive into Liquid Staking on Tinyman! While the official staking rewards for the Algorand blockchain are still on the horizon and haven’t gone live yet, we’re thrilled to offer our users a chance to explore and start earning in anticipation.

Let’s dive into the details and what this means for YOU:

Why Liquid Staking Now?

We’re launching this feature ahead of the staking rewards going live on the Algorand blockchain. While the exact date for these rewards is still to be confirmed, it won’t be long! In the meantime, we’re eager to offer you the ability to use Liquid Staking, which gives you a head start on earning rewards.

But there’s more! You can already experience all the features of Liquid Staking — from simply staking your ALGO to earning additional rewards in various ways — the choice is Yours!

How Does Algorand Staking Work on Tinyman?

By staking your ALGO into the Tinyman Stakepool, you’re not just earning rewards, you’re helping to secure and decentralize the entire Algorand network.

When Algorand’s staking rewards are officially launched, you’ll start earning staking rewards in ALGO. These rewards will be generated from network fees and additional incentives from the Algorand Foundation. It’s a win-win situation — you’re supporting the network while putting your ALGO to work for you!

Start Earning Today — No Waiting Needed!

While awaiting the official launch of Algorand rewards, Tinyman is already offering incentives for Liquid Staking. This means you can begin earning yield right now and explore all the exciting opportunities available. Your staked ALGO will immediately contribute to securing and decentralizing the network. Plus, you’ll start receiving ALGO rewards provided by Tinyman right away, until the official Algorand rewards go live.

Meet tALGO: Tinyman’s Liquid Staking Token

When you stake your ALGO in the Tinyman stakepool, you’ll receive tALGO, our Liquid Staking token. This token is fully tradable, and as time goes on, its value increases because it accumulates staking rewards.

Here’s the best part: you can redeem your tALGO for ALGO at any time, and you’ll get your initial stake plus any accumulated rewards instantly. No waiting. No delays. Just seamless flexibility.

tALGO is built with best practices at its core. It is immutable, and its source code is publicly available, ensuring the highest standards of security, reliability, and transparency.

Unlock Even More Earning Potential with tALGO

But wait — there’s more! Holding tALGO doesn’t just give you the chance to earn staking rewards. You have the option to take your earnings even further with the following opportunities:

• Become a Liquidity Provider: Add liquidity to tALGO pools on Tinyman and earn trading fees and farming rewards.
• Additional Rewards for Tinyman Governors: Re-stake your tALGO to earn even more rewards paid in $TINY. This is an exclusive benefit for Tinyman Governors looking to maximize their returns!

The Benefits of Being a Tinyman Governor Just Got Even Better!

If you’re already a Tinyman Governor, you know the rewards and benefits that come with participating in governance. Now, with Liquid Staking, the rewards go even further. By holding TINY power, you can re-stake your tALGO and earn additional TINY rewards, all while continuing to participate in network governance. It’s a great way to increase your earnings without lifting a finger.

Security and Audit Process

At Tinyman, security is our utmost priority. To ensure the highest standards of safety, we’ve implemented a comprehensive audit process for the Tinyman stakepool. A team of renowned Algorand experts has thoroughly reviewed our contracts, providing rigorous oversight and validation. You can access the detailed audit report here.

Seamless Experience: Stake, Trade, Earn — All within the Tinyman UI

We’ve made it easier than ever to manage your tALGO with our user-friendly interface. Whether you’re staking, trading, or earning, you’ll have full control over your assets with no lock-ups or penalties. That means you can make the most of your staking experience.

Join Us as We Embark on This Exciting New Journey!

We’re excited to unveil this innovative feature to the Algorand ecosystem and are eager for you to get started. Liquid Staking is the next evolution in DeFi, and it’s now live on Tinyman.

We’re also excited to hear from you! Your feedback and comments are invaluable as we continue to improve and grow. Let’s get the conversation going — join us on Discord or follow us on Twitter for the latest updates and news!

Thank you for being part of this exciting milestone with us. The wait is over — Liquid Staking on Tinyman is here, and it’s time to earn!

At Tinyman, we’re thrilled for the upcoming launch of incentivized consensus on Algorand. This is an important step toward greater decentralization and the long-term sustainability of the network. We’re proud to be a part of this evolution by introducing tALGO, the Liquid Staking Token. This new offering gives all ALGO holders the opportunity to contribute to Algorand’s security, earn staking rewards, and provide liquidity on Tinyman — all simultaneously.

Our Commitment to Security and Transparency

As always, security and transparency are at the heart of everything we do at Tinyman. Building on the success of our Tinyman Governance peer review process, we continued this practice with the audit of the tALGO Staking & Re-Staking contracts. We collaborated with a team of well-known, expert Algorand developers to ensure that our staking contracts meet the highest standards.

Audit Team

The following experts were involved in reviewing the tALGO contracts:

• Mariano Dominguez — Vestige Labs
• Kevin Wellenzohn & Hannes Mitterer — Blockshake/Defly
• Steve Ferrigno (nullun) — Algorand Foundation Engineer & long-time Tinyman community member

Audit Process

We provided the reviewers with comprehensive documentation, including:

• An overview of the system design and its intended functionality
• Source code written in Tealish and the corresponding Teal code
• Note: The audit did not include any user interfaces (UIs) or software development kits (SDKs).

The review process was designed to be collaborative and non-competitive. Team members shared their findings freely, encouraging open discussion and further investigation. At the end of the process, each reviewer submitted an independent report detailing their approach, findings, and any recommendations for improvements.

Compensation for Reviewers

The audit team was compensated in USDC from Tinyman’s development funds, reflecting our appreciation for their time and effort.

Findings & Recommendations

During the audit, the reviewers identified several issues of varying severity, all of which helped us refine and improve the code. These findings have been fully addressed, ensuring that the system is both secure and user-friendly. A summary of the findings, along with our responses and any changes made, can be found in the Appendix: Summary of Findings & Responses.

Key Design Considerations

While the contracts include permissioned methods, they are role-based and limited in scope. These were carefully considered to ensure that manager roles could not affect users’ principal stakes or previously earned rewards through any action or inaction — even if the manager account were compromised. The reviewers thoroughly analyzed the code from this perspective, helping us confirm that these goals were met.

Commendation for Transparency and Security

The review team commended Tinyman’s commitment to transparency and security, highlighting that the contracts are immutable and source available, ensuring the protocol’s integrity and openness.

Acknowledgments

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the reviewers for their diligent efforts and valuable contributions. Their hard work has helped us create a more secure and robust protocol for the entire community.

Earn Staking Rewards with ALGO

By joining our stakepool, you’ll earn staking rewards paid in ALGO. These rewards are made up of network-generated fees and additional incentives from the Algorand Foundation. It’s a fantastic way to make your ALGO work for you while supporting network security and decentralization.

Meet tALGO: Tinyman’s Liquid Staking Token

But it doesn’t stop there! Say hello to tALGO, Tinyman’s new liquid staking token. When you stake ALGO in the Tinyman stakepool, you’ll receive tALGO in return. This token is fully tradable and grows in value over time as staking rewards accrue. Plus, you can redeem tALGO for ALGO at any moment, with instantaneous redemptions. That means you’ll receive your initial stake and any accumulated rewards immediately upon redeeming.

Unlock More Earning Opportunities with tALGO

Holding tALGO opens the door to even more earning possibilities. The choice is Yours:

- Become a Liquidity Provider: Add liquidity to tALGO pools on Tinyman and earn trading fees along with farming rewards.

- Additional Rewards for Tinyman Governors: You can re-stake your tALGO to earn extra rewards paid in $TINY. It’s an exclusive way to maximize your gains!

The Benefits of Being a Tinyman Governor Just Got Better

Being a Tinyman Governor already offers attractive governance rewards and the ability to vote on farming programs and on-chain proposals. With the introduction of liquid staking, the advantages multiply. By holding a minimum TINY power of 500, you become eligible for additional TINY rewards simply by re-staking your tALGO. This means you’ll not only earn staking rewards from consensus participation but also enjoy extra TINY rewards. It’s a straightforward way to maximize your gains!

Security and Audit Process

Security is our top priority. To ensure that the Tinyman stakepool contracts meet the highest security standards, we conduct an audit. For this audit, we’ve adopted a peer review process involving a diverse team of well-known expert Algorand developers. These experts bring a deep technical understanding and a solid grasp of the Algorand ecosystem, providing the Tinyman stakepool with robust oversight and security.

Seamless Flexibility: Stake, Trade, Earn. All within Tinyman’s User Interface

With a user-friendly interface and complete flexibility, managing your tALGO has never been easier. There are no lock-ups or penalties, so you have full control over your assets. Secure and decentralize the Algorand network, maximize your rewards, and enjoy the freedom to utilize your tALGO whenever you like.

At Tinyman, security and transparency are always at the forefront of our minds. We publish the source code of all of the contracts we deploy along with technical documentation so that any user of the protocol can independently understand and verify their workings. We understand however that most users do not have the interest or skills to verify these for themselves so they look to trusted third parties for guidance. For each significant system that we deploy we also commission an independent third party review of the code and publish their report on the process and their findings.

We believe third-party reviews are a critical part of the security, transparency, and decentralization objectives of this industry. However, we believe there is scope for alternative approaches to traditional audit firms that may be more effective for projects like Tinyman.

For the audit of the Tinyman Governance contracts, we decided to follow a peer review process with a diverse team of well-known expert Algorand developers. These developers all have a deep interest and understanding of both the technical and ecosystem context in which Tinyman Governance will operate.

The individuals involved in this audit were:

• Erik Hasselwander and Mariano Dominguez — Vestige Labs
• Gidon Katen — CTO of Folks Finance
• Kevin Wellenzohn — Co-Founder of Blockshake/Defly
• Steve Ferrigno (nullun) — a DevRel team member from the Algorand Foundation and an active Tinyman community member since the testnet launch
• D13, a well-known Algorand community member, now working at the Algorand Foundation

The purpose of this audit process is multifold. First and foremost we wanted a review of our code to ensure we didn’t make any errors while designing and implementing the system.

Secondly, we wanted third-party validation that the code is an honest good faith implementation of the documented system. This included making sure the code was readable and independently verifiable. We appreciate that the Tinyman team is highly respected and trusted in this space but one of the core tenets of our industry is Don’t Trust, Verify. We believe this should continuously be applied to all projects in the space.

Finally, we wanted independent reviews of the current state of decentralization and adherence to the ethos of DeFi as presented in this system. This governance system represents a step on the path towards complete decentralization for the Tinyman project and we believe that it is important for all participants in the project and community to understand where we are on that path. For this reason, we specifically asked the review team to critically assess and report on the level of centralization and permissioned aspects of the current system.

The scope of the audit included the contracts written in Tealish, the generated Teal code and the documentation. It did not include any UIs or SDKs.

The process involved weekly meetings with the members of the review team and two members of the Tinyman development team over 6 weeks. During these meetings, they discussed code details, audit methodology, and findings to date. The process was explicitly non-competitive and members shared their findings freely to stimulate discussion and investigation. At the end of the process, each team member produced a separate report documenting their approach to the audit and any findings and recommendations. Links to these are provided below.

The review team members were compensated (in USDC from Tinyman development funds) for the considerable time and effort that they put into this process.

We were pleased to note that no critical issues were identified but thankful for the recommendations on a number of low and informational issues. We responded to all issues raised in the reports and made changes based on the recommendations where it was deemed necessary and safe to do so without introducing new risks. A summary of all issues, recommendations and responses is linked below.

The comments from the reviewers undoubtedly helped improve the quality and clarity of the code and documentation. Their own documentation of their exploration of the code will also serve as a valuable guide for others who wish to understand the system in detail.

We would like to thank the review team members for their diligent efforts and for supporting this novel process. It is a testament to the strength and maturity of the Algorand development community that this process was possible and completed so professionally. We intend to follow this process for upcoming releases for Tinyman and hope that this can evolve into a robust decentralized review process as the project decentralizes further. We would also encourage other Algorand ecosystem projects to follow our lead on this.

Hello, Tinyman farmers and soon-to-be farmers! Today, we’re diving deep into our farming feature. Whether you’re new to yield farming or a seasoned DeFi veteran, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know about earning rewards on Tinyman.

What is Tinyman Farming?

Before we jump into the how-to, let’s quickly recap what farming is on Tinyman. Essentially, it’s a way for you to earn additional rewards (in TINY tokens) by providing liquidity to specific pools. It’s our way of incentivizing users to help maintain deep, stable liquidity in key trading pairs.

How Tinyman Farming Works

Our farming system is unique because it combines protocol-defined rewards with community-voted incentives. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Protocol Portion (20%): This part of the daily rewards goes to fixed pools that we’ve identified as crucial for the ecosystem. Think of major pairs like ALGO/USDC.
2. Community Portion (80%): The lion’s share of rewards🔥 is distributed based on community voting. This is where you get a say in which pools receive incentives.

Farming Rewards Distribution

Every month, we hold a community vote to determine which pools will receive farming rewards for the upcoming month. 🗳 Here’s how it works:

1. Voting opens on the 20th day of each month for the next month’s rewards.
2. The voting period lasts for 7 days.
3. Users vote with their TINY Power, allocating it to their preferred pools.
4. The top 10 pools by vote receive incentives, with rewards distributed proportionally to votes received.

How to Participate in Farming

Now, let’s get to the exciting part — how you can start farming on Tinyman!

Step 1: Provide Liquidity

1. Navigate to the ‘Pool’ section on Tinyman.
2. Select the asset pair you want to provide liquidity for.
3. Enter the amounts you wish to deposit.
4. Confirm the transaction and you’ll receive LP tokens.

Step 2: Stake Your LP Tokens

1. Go to the ‘Farm’ section on Tinyman.
2. Find the pool you’ve provided liquidity for.
3. Click on ‘Stake’ and enter the amount of LP tokens you want to stake.
4. Confirm the transaction.

Step 3: Start Earning

Once your LP tokens are staked, you’ll automatically start earning TINY rewards. The amount you earn depends on:

1. The total amount of liquidity you’ve provided
2. Your share of the total staked liquidity in that pool
3. The amount of rewards allocated to that pool

Step 4: Claim Your Rewards

1. In the ‘Farm’ section, find your staked position.
2. Click on ‘Claim Rewards’.
3. Confirm the transaction, and the TINY tokens will be sent to your wallet. ✅

Remember, you can claim your rewards at any time!

Farming Strategy Tips 🔎

1. Diversify: Consider providing liquidity to multiple pools to spread your risk and potential rewards.
2. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on the monthly voting to see which pools are likely to receive the most rewards.
3. Long-term Thinking: Remember, longer commitments in the Governance Vault increase your Tiny Power, giving you more say in reward distribution voting.
4. Monitor Impermanent Loss: While farming can be profitable, always be aware of the potential impermanent loss in volatile pairs.

The Farming Interface

Our farming interface is designed to be intuitive and informative. Here’s what you’ll see:

• Available Farms: A list of all pools currently eligible for farming rewards.
• Your Positions: Shows your currently staked positions and accumulated rewards.
• APR: The estimated annual percentage rate of return for each farm.
• Total Value Locked (TVL): The total value of assets staked in each farm.
• Your Stake: The amount of LP tokens you’ve staked in each farm.
• Earned Rewards: The amount of TINY tokens you’ve earned and can claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I unstake my LP tokens at any time? A: Yes, you can unstake your LP tokens whenever you want. However, you’ll stop earning rewards on the unstaked amount.

Q: How often are rewards distributed? A: Rewards accrue in real-time but are distributed when you claim them.

Q: What happens if I don’t claim my rewards? A: Your rewards will continue to accumulate until you claim them. There’s no time limit on when you need to claim.

Q: Can I vote for multiple pools in the monthly distribution vote? A: Absolutely! You can split your Tiny Power across as many pools as you like.

Wrapping Up

Farming on Tinyman is a great way to put your crypto assets to work and earn additional rewards. By participating, you’re not just earning for yourself — you’re contributing to the overall health and liquidity of the Tinyman ecosystem.

Remember, while farming can be profitable, it’s important to understand the risks involved, including impermanent loss and smart contract risks. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

We’re excited to see how you’ll use this feature to maximize your returns on Tinyman. Happy farming, everyone!
