Yes! GTK is now functional and capable of accepting liquidity from matchers/lenders and trades from traders.
Let’s see how volume changes over time at gtk-margin.com
We're working on an infra upgrade for GTK that should take no more than 2-3 days. Once that happens, we should see increased volumes and liquidity on GTK from interested supporters! Then institutions like the ones we've mentioned can scale in as traction develops

Any update on GTK since the API launch? Whatever happened with the company that wanted to integrate?
Rowan:USDC Yield at 815% APR on SifDEX, paid in USDC!
Yield has been available for a few days but we're only just tweeting about it after fixing a data feed issue on SifDEX
We still plan to ship Storehouse and Wheat to make Rowan deflationary! Stay tuned!
GTK Trading API Up!

A sizable trading firm offered to run trading volume through GTK if it had a conventional API. They have the capital to oversubscribe the current limited liquidity on GTK, which could then attract more lending, leading to a virtuous cycle of growth and yield for Rowan holders.
First PR for Storehouse and Wheat was submitted a few days ago github.com/Sifchain/sifnode/…
We are very serious about burning up to 90% of the tokens and going hyper deflationary 😤

Storehouse and Wheat is now our main crypto dev focus. It would land take 2-5 weeks from now, but we are hoping STF will cut a lot of that time down and be a good case study.
It’s launch date would be a definitive date by when Rowan will reduce inflation or go deflationary
Matcher APR stats now the GTK UI!
Matchers/lenders can now check the stats on multiple pages at gtk-margin.com/ to get insights on how much yield others are earning. This can increase the amount of liquidity provided if it comes with a commensurate amount of trading.
Because GTK has concentrated lending, matchers/lenders do not have to provide all the capital that traders borrow.
In the example in this spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets…, they provide just 6%.
We are so close on these Matcher APR calcs; in the mean time, Rowan:USDC yield on SifDEX is at 700%+ APR paid in USDC 🚀🚀
Great question! GTK’s Match Trades page already has Matcher APR per trade but we’re working through tests on getting an average version of that stat on multiple pages (maybe 2-7 days away).
More on STF and Storehouse and Wheat below

What's the development timeline? Are we talking weeks, months, or years before we see all 3 of these in action?
We back yet? Certainly getting closer every day.

As promised, here is a demo video showing Sif Task Force running with its UI!

In this demo, a user solves a Github issue and receives a pull request managed by STF's AI assistants.
Looks like Rowan is now just under where it was 3 days ago.
GTK hit another daily trading volume of >$100k and Rowan:USDC yield is at 1100% APR paid out in USDC
This project has a lot of ground and credibility to make up; for some time the main differentiator might be yield
Status update on the IBC relayers on Twitter so that it’s pretty clear. Sifchain currently runs IBC relayers.
You can check out the transaction history at mapofzones.com/zones/sifchai…
Any chains for which Sifchain used to connect but doesn’t any longer are chains for which we don’t have an archive node.
When Sifchain was originally regaining connectivity to IBC after the banana king incident, @informalinc offered to maintain IBC connections for Sifchain

Breaking down Rowan’s recent rise
Since May 9
- Rowan is up over 200%
- Sifchain is TVL up about 67%
Current Rowan:USDC APR - 1000% (paid out in USDC)
Let’s analyze why this occurred
The Rowan:USDC pool currently has high promotional yield, not a recurring yield source.
Trading on GTK also contributed to the Rowan:USDC pool as per docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Yield from GTK trading is recurring and could lead to a virtuous growth cycle for Rowan

Early rough shot of Sif Task Force UI!
Sif Task Force borrows from projects like OpenDevin and AutoCodeRover to allow AI to create pull requests from Github tickets, saving devs 80% or more of their time coding!
Replying to @sifchain
Next major goals:
2) Make Sif Task Force AI generally available with Sifchain as payment rails, with some task revenue going to Rowan:USDC as yield
Stay tuned for a separate update!
The current state of the art for AI code generation tools in this category is 20% on swebench.com/lite.html (with LLMs alone like GPT-4 and Claude getting 0-4%). Neither of these stats is high enough for devs to rely on an AI service to take the bulk of their responsibilities

GTK is now at $100k in daily trading volume, not bad for the first day back!
And APR for Rowan:USDC on SifDEX is at 574%!
Replying to @sifchain
With this polish, GTK should be ready for additional usage; indeed, we’re already seeing trading activity pick up with our first $30k in trading volume today after several weeks of no activity. We expect more to come
As promised, we’ve been hard at work polishing GTK since its soft re-launch a month ago. We’ve had two main goals with this polish:
- Ensuring auto-hedging worked smoothly
- Clearly displaying APR available to matchers (lenders)
Auto-hedging has officially soft-launched for matchers at gtk-margin.com/ !
This feature enables matchers to passively gain single token yield in USDC and facilitates liquidity for traders on GTK's trading platform
To make auto-hedging seamless, we switched to a new dYdX API a couple of weeks ago. The retry logic issue in this tweet is no longer a problem and now matchers (lenders) can rest easy and let yield come in passively without needing to monitor the trade.

Replying to @sifchain
Auto-hedging is soft launching for now, use small amounts of capital and monitor trades semi-regularly. FYI, retry logic for dYdX Chain’s official API is still improving; it can occasionally fail to execute a hedged trade, requiring matchers to manually hedge or take extra risk

At gtk-margin.com/match, you can now toggle the “Type” switch to select which vault you’ll deposit into.
"Lending" is GTK’s standard bucket that countertrades traders’ positions. "Hedging" for a new bucket that will be sent to DYDX to hedge the countertrade.
