Intro to PickleJars

Each PickleJar (or pJar) employs a different alpha seeking strategy, but fundamentally works in a similar manner:

  1. Creating the input tokens in relevant project, for example ALCX/ETH

  2. Users deposit the 10 ALCX/ETH sLP (Sushi Liquidity Provider) tokens into pJar 0.99x and receive 10pTokens (if one deposits in the beginning of the jar's creation. Otherwise it depends on the ratio or the underlying asset which has appreciated). 2.1. PICKLE protocol will collect the ALCX reward with 20% performance fee 2.2. which half of it will be sold for ETH, and reinvested back to the sLP. Your pToken will not increase, but when you exit the jar, the ALCX/ETH sLP will be worth more depending when you exit.

  3. You can deposit your pTokens into the pickle farm. 3.1. and the farm will give you PICKLE token in addition to your compounding Jar. 3.2. You can sell your PICKLE 3.3. Or you can lock your PICKLE for DILL (1 PICKLE = 1 DILL if locked 4 years) for the protocol revenue sharing!

What are the different PickleJars?

A total of 23 PickleJars have been deployed so far:

  1. pJar 0a: A Curve strategy for sUSDv2 pool (sUSDv2 pool employs a basket of 4 stablecoins to peg to US$1 and the switching between them to be stable at $1, learn more about sUSD). CRV reward is sold for more LP.

  13. pJar 0.99i: A Sushiswap strategy for ETH/yveCRV (A unique collaboration of Curve, Yearn, Sushi and Pickle. CRV is deposited for yield boost in yearn, which the yveCRV token can be staked together with ETH in sushiswap which yields SUSHI, and Pickle will be selling the SUSHI reward to be sold and compounded to LP tokens. There is a zap in both Yearn and Pickle website that helps automagically transform your ETH or CRV into the PickleJar. Warning: yveCRV cannot be converted back to CRV, because the CRV is perpetually staked in Curve's voting escrow. So, CRV =/= yveCRV in term of price; each has their own value which can be found on Coingecko. CRV and yveCRV price. So if the price of either token is off-peg, you may want to DYOR on how to put in the pJar. retired, upgraded to yvBOOST, see below. Reminder: only 1/3 of SUSHI that will be harvested and reinvested. To date, there is no way for smart contract (yield aggregator) to claim the 2/3 of SUSHI. To make up for this, the pJar can be staked in pickle farm to earn additional pickle) Vesting has been removed from Sushiswap.
