Update: This campaign ended on January 16th 2023
The Sommelier (SOMM) spot market, and three strategy tokens (SteadyETH, SteadyBTC and ETHBTCTrend) are live on Helix alongside 100,000 SOMM token rewards! This also marks the first time that ETH DeFi strategies become available to the broader Cosmos ecosystem.
You can now trade $SOMM, $SteadyETH, $SteadyBTC and $ETHBTCTrend with market and limit orders on Helix, the premier on-chain derivatives exchange built on Injective. Read more below to find out more about Sommelier and how you can win the trading prizes!
What are Sommelier and DeFi Strategy Tokens?
Sommelier is a blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK that executes advanced crypto portfolio strategies across multiple blockchains. Effectively, users are able to take part in sophisticated algorithmic trading strategies devised by leading institutions by simply deploying funds into strategy vaults. The funds are then utilized by smart contracts to make trades such as following ETH price trends.
SOMM is the token that underlies all transactions on the Sommelier. It captures the fee revenue that is generated by the system and incentivizes each role in the ecosystem to continue performing their function and participate in protocol governance.
Strategy tokens enable anyone to get exposure to actively managed crypto asset portfolios just by holding a token. For example, SteadyETH and SteadyBTC capture the upside of price breakouts of ETH and BTC respectively, and manage downside through trailing stops. ETHBTCTrend token captures a long-only strategy for smart ETH-BTC portfolio management that has the ability to reduce or even temporarily exit ETH-BTC exposure.

About Sommelier
Sommelier is a DeFi blockchain protocol, built on the Cosmos SDK, and a bi-directional Ethereum bridge, managed by a global network of validators. Taken together, this collection serves as a co-processor to Ethereum - that is, Sommelier uses a Cosmos chain to process as many DeFi strategy calculations as possible off of Ethereum. Sommelier LPs can benefit from a wide array of transaction features, such as portfolio rebalancing and limit orders based on dynamically changing market conditions. Vault-style Cellars on Sommelier automatically execute these strategies with smart contracts and are entirely governed in a decentralized manner by users.
