Cascade Opens Opportunity for USDC Deposits for Point Farming

This step is part of the early access program, allowing users to earn rewards before the full public launch of the platform. As we noticed last year, Cascade is gaining momentum, and now is the time for active participation.

Cascade is a platform for perpetual markets, specially adapted for the US market without geographical restrictions. It enables 24/7 trading of cryptocurrencies, US company stocks, and private assets, using fiat rails for onboarding via bank transfers, ACH, or stablecoins. The project recently raised $15 million in investments from leading funds such as Polychain Capital, Variant Fund, and Coinbase Ventures, underscoring its potential in the DeFi sector.

Program Participation Details

To join the launch, you'll need an invite code, which can be purchased on OTC markets, won, or obtained from influencers. The number of codes is limited, as is the time until the start, so we advise acting quickly. The deposit pool will be collected up to $2 million, this is an updated limit, increased due to high interest. There are no restrictions on deposit amounts, but an attractive APR (annual percentage yield) is expected over several months, depending on activity.

Deposits go into Cascade's Liquidity Strategy (CLS) - similar to vaults on other platforms. CLS helps maintain order book depth, liquidity for liquidations, and, in the future, margin lending.

Participants earn points not only from deposits but also from expanding the referral network: you can receive up to 20% of points from invited users and their networks. This creates a multi-level reward system akin to referral programs.

At launch, the platform will support over 10 perpetual markets, including OpenAI, Stripe, Tesla, and BTC, with zero trading fees. The full rollout with bank transfers via Bridge is scheduled for early 2026.

Challenges and Recommendations

There are some challenges due to snipers (bots), as the allocation isn't particularly large. However, if you have "the fastest hands in the Wild West," participation is entirely feasible. We recommend monitoring updates on the official website and in communities, such as Telegram channels where the project was first spotted.

Cascade positions itself as the first fully US-accessible platform for perpetual markets, making it unique in the DeFi ecosystem. Given its funding and focus on the American market, the project has the potential to become a major player in 2026. Stay tuned for updates to avoid missing out!
