Finding the top DeFi opportunities for Fuse token holders can be a challenge. Navigating and hunting through multiple blockchain networks, wallet connections, and DeFi platforms is arduous. However, the potential rewards unearthed can outweigh the time spent researching.
This article will take you through all the current and potential opportunities to utilize your FUSE to gain rewards or increase your FUSE position over time. Please note that reward percentages can change daily, and it’s advised to use the links provided to check the most up-to-date figures.
We will dive into staking, yield farms, and pool opportunities across all the networks supporting Fuse tokens, starting with the most straightforward prospects and those available on Fuse Network.
First, if you are not holding any FUSE, the most straightforward route to getting it in your MetaMask or other blockchain wallet is to get it on Ethereum, Polygon, or BNB Chain. Then, to make the most of opportunities on Fuse, bridge FUSE to Fuse Network using the Fuse Token Bridge. Or bridge Fuse to another chain to find opportunities.

N.B. We suggest getting FUSE on these chains because, as a crypto-savvy trader, you probably already hold other tokens on one of those three chains, making swapping them to FUSE and taking advantage of these opportunities simple and fast.
NB. Fuse tokens are supported on Ethereum, Fuse, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

Utilizing FUSE on Fuse Network
Fuse Staking
Staking your Fuse tokens using the Fuse Console staking dashboard is the most straightforward way to get your Fuse tokens working. By locking up an amount of Fuse tokens with one of the many validators, you can earn around 14% APY on your Fuse tokens.
Most importantly, there is no minimum lockup period, and fees for staking and unstaking are minimal. Please note, however, that to stake Fuse tokens using Console, you must first hold your tokens on Fuse Network. If you have the Fuse elsewhere, you can use the Fuse Bridge to move it.

Liquidity Pools on Voltage
As Fuse Networks leading DEX, there are several liquidity pools on Voltage Finance for Fuse token holders to earn rewards. When utilizing Voltage liquidity pools, you must first swap your FUSE to WFUSE, wrapped Fuse, which can be quickly done inside the Voltage DEX.
A liquidity pool (LP) is a collection of two tokens, such as VOLT and FUSE, facilitating automatic exchanges. By contributing tokens to the LP, users earn a 0.3% fee from trades between those tokens proportional to their pool share.
You can see all the earning opportunities by navigating to the Pools page on Voltage. At writing, the most lucrative is to provide liquidity to the WFUSE/WETH pair, with the second most popular being the WFUSE/VOLT pair.

Yield Farming on Voltage
Farms on Voltage allows users to stake two tokens to provide liquidity while earning rewards in both tokens—a system known in DeFi as dual rewards. Providing liquidity for the WFUSE/VOLT pair yields the highest APR at writing, while WFUSE/WETH is also popular.
The dual reward system means liquidity providers receive a percentage reward for each token they lock up. For example, in the WFUSE/VOLT farm, users can earn 8% VOLT and 7% WFUSE rewards.

Liquidity Pools on QuickSwap
A liquidity pool is a smart contract-based pool of funds locked into a protocol to enable trading, lending, or other financial activities without the need for traditional intermediaries like banks or centralized exchanges. Users can conveniently provide liquidity for the ETH/FUSE pair in several places from the QuickSwap DEX.
At writing, the pool with the highest TVL (More than $100k) resides on QuickSwap with an APR of around 35%, meaning QuickSwap has the deepest liquidity for trading FUSE to ETH. While it offers the lowest reward, its TVL means many Fuse token holders trust it and have their tokens locked.
To make the most of this opportunity, you must have equal amounts of FUSE and ETH on Polygon that you can lock up for liquidity provider (LP) tokens. Then, you lock your LP tokens into the pool and watch the rewards mount.
