STRATO x Book of Ethereum: BOOE Holders Get 2x Points in Season 2
STRATO and Book of Ethereum are partnering for Season 2 of the STRATO Rewards program. During Season 2, holding $BOOE, gets you 2x points on every dollar you put to work on STRATO, on top of APYs already running into triple digits at current pool sizes.
Welcome to HardFi, members of the holy order!
You Need to Bridge Two Things
To earn the 2x boost, you bridge two things to STRATO:
- Your $BOOE tokens (these activate the boost)
- Assets you want to put to work (ETH, BTC, stablecoins, or buy tokenized gold, silver on STRATO to leverage)
Both need to be on STRATO. BOOE alone won't earn you anything. Assets alone earn at the normal 1x rate. But put them together and your points double!
The 10:1 Ratio
The boost scales with how much $BOOE you hold on STRATO relative to your qualifying activity (not all activity). If you have $1,000of qualifying activity, you need about 3,333 BOOE on STRATO to fully unlock the 2x boost. If you only have about half that BOOE, you’d get about half of the extra boost, or roughly 1.5x total instead of 2x.
There is roughly a 10:1 ratio between the value of the activity and the value of the BOOE you need on the STRATO to receive the 2x boost in points, based on the current value of BOOE.
You can withdraw your BOOE anytime, and you'll keep the points you've earned to that point, but the boost stops.
How to Start Earning
All activities listed in the Rewards page are eligible for the 2x boost if you hold $BOOE on STRATO. Here are three examples to get you started:
Mint USDST via CDP: You bridge collateral (ETH, BTC, gold, silver, stablecoins) to STRATO and borrow USDST, STRATO's stablecoin, against it. The borrow rate is about 2%. You can then put that USDST into yield-bearing positions. Depending on your collateral and strategy, total returns run 8-21%. The BOOE 2x doubles the Season 2 incentive portion on top of that.
A note on risk: borrowing means you can be liquidated. If the value of your collateral drops too far relative to what you borrowed, STRATO sells some of your collateral to cover the debt. You don't lose everything, but you lose a portion plus a penalty. The safest move: borrow well below the maximum. If you can borrow up to $750 against $1,000 of ETH, borrowing $400 leaves you a comfortable buffer.
LP in the metastable pool: The pool pairs saveUSDST with syrupUSDC, sUSDS, and sUSDe. Every side earns organic yield, swap fees add on top, and Season 2 incentives bring the total to 12-16% at target depth. Early LPs earn significantly more: at $1M TVL, incentive APR alone runs 62%. With the BOOE 2x, you earn double on the incentive slice.
Hold saveUSDST: Wrap USDST into the savings vault for passive yield plus Season 2 emissions. Base total runs approximately 6%+; the BOOE 2x doubles the incentive portion on top of that.
You can combine these. Mint USDST, deposit it into the savings vault or liquidity pool, and collect boosted points on both legs.
Season 2 runs through Q2 2026. The rewards pool covers approximately 1% of STRATO's total token supply, and points convert to the native token at TGE. APYs fall as TVL grows — the earlier you're in, the larger your share of fixed daily emissions.
For Existing STRATO Users
You're already earning. Buying and bridging BOOE doubles the incentive portion on three of your existing activities. You don't need to change your strategy. Bridge BOOE and your current positions in minting, LP, and saveUSDST earn more.

What is STRATO?
STRATO is a HardFi protocol: it puts hard assets — physical gold, silver, ETH, BTC, and liquid staking tokens — to work in DeFi. Every ounce of gold and silver on STRATO is vaulted 1:1 in New York City and redeemable in person. You deposit those assets as collateral, mint USDST (STRATO's stablecoin) against them via a CDP, and deploy that capital into yield-bearing positions. The stability fee runs approximately 2-3% annually — well below the 8-15% typical of other DeFi lending protocols. That gap is where the carry trade lives.
What is The Book of Ethereum?
Book of Ethereum ($BOOE) is an Ethereum-native community built around a 17-chapter illustrated history of Ethereum — hand-crafted art, original writing, and a book you can actually flip through. The ecosystem runs deeper than the content: there's a DEX with spot and perpetual trading (HolySwap), live NFT staking (Pilgrimage), ENS subdomains, and a utility token ($HOLY) that powers it all. Community members have sponsored Ethereum conferences, spoken on stage at ETH Prague, and won third place at ETHGlobal New York. Learn more at bookofeth.xyz.
