Bifrost Monthly Report | August 2025



August was an action-packed month for Bifrost, filled with key technical upgrades, ecosystem milestones, and vibrant community engagement. Here’s everything you need to know 👇

🔧 Tech Development

Runtime 21000 Upgrade: Improved efficiency and compatibility across the network.

vETH Enhancements: Better validation logic for minting/redemption and smarter pool management.

vToken Improvements: Optimized exchange rate management for bbBNC compatibility + refined delegation unlock logic in vTokenVoting.

SLPx 1.0: Now supports cross-chain fee charging via Hyperbridge.

Dapp 1.9.5: UI now supports vTokenVoting delegation, making governance more user-friendly.

💡Bifrost continues to prioritize cross-chain scalability and governance accessibility. The focus on Hyperbridge and delegation tools shows a clear push toward making multi-chain DeFi seamless.

📊 Product Progress

Bifrost’s Total Value Locked (TVL) reached $99,093,939🎉

vDOT dominance: Supply exceeds 20M minted, with TVL crossing $77M (5% growth this month).

Hyperbridge milestone: DOT/ETH liquidity deployed on Ethereum mainnet + L2s. DOT can now be swapped via Uniswap and bridged directly to mint vDOT.
vFIL sunset: Officially phased out, but redemptions remain available through governance-backed execution.

Astar Dapp Staking: Bifrost listed with Omni Liquid Staking → enabling vASTR minting across Astar, Soneium & multiple L2s.

DeFi Singularity Upgrade: Now supports Zap-in liquidity (one-click, no manual swaps).

💡The vDOT expansion via Hyperbridge is a game-changer. By integrating liquidity into Ethereum and L2s, Bifrost is positioning itself as a true multi-chain liquid staking hub. Meanwhile, sunsetting vFIL demonstrates the team’s ability to adapt and double down on high-value assets.

🌍 Marketing & Community

Saigon Web3 Builders Meetup: A successful event uniting developers, founders, and DeFi builders in Vietnam.

Creator Incentive Program Relaunch: Rewards top-quality community content — up to 5,000 BNC for originality, clarity, and engagement.

Tokyo WebX Meetup 🇯🇵: Connected with Japanese ecosystem partners, investors, and media ahead of WebX 2025.

bbBNC Boost Week 🎉: A week-long warm-up campaign with 5 interactive community events, WAVE points, and $BNC prizes — leading into the new tokenomics rollout.

💡Bifrost’s community strategy is spot-on. By blending grassroots creator incentives with global meetups, the project fosters both online and offline engagement — ensuring a balanced, thriving ecosystem.

✨ Final Thoughts

Bifrost is quietly but steadily cementing its role as a liquid staking powerhouse in Polkadot and beyond. The August updates reflect a project that:

Iterates fast on tech (vETH, Hyperbridge, runtime upgrades).

Executes well on product-market fit (vDOT’s growth is proof).

Balances community + institutional outreach (from Saigon to Tokyo).

With bbBNC tokenomics on the horizon, I believe Bifrost is setting itself up for an even stronger Q4 2025. The way it is building multi-chain liquidity rails could make it one of the most important players in the DeFi staking race.
