Cardano’s MuesliSwap introduces ‘organic APR,’ drawing praise, criticism
Cardano’s decentralized exchange has announced a new feature to draw in liquidity.
Called “organic APR,” the feature increases token emissions as more liquidity is put into the pool, according to a Twitter thread from the team.
