RE: How to deploy your first VSC Hive Smart Contract

in Threespeak8 months ago

I already commented here about a token swap smart contract. How about a HBD Bond smart contract! Is it possible? Could ETH staking be the way to get the extra interest needed to entice someone to lock up their HBD longer for a higher interest rate? Could one smart contract on Hive do all that would be needed or would it have to interact with other smart contracts on ETH?

I was thinking about this, here:

Sort:  

HBD bond is entirely possible and in the near future we will support holding staked hbd directly within a smart contract. The problem is the L1 would offer the same return and only a 3.5 day lock period. The contract could theoretically set a very long lockup period, but it would make more sense for a user to still go to the L1 instead. As for ETH staking, that's not possible as Eth staking is heavily tied with running a validator and thus an inherent risk that the network cannot take on or maintain.

Thanks for this valuable information, I greatly appreciate your reply!
