Using the ELK Finance Cross-Chain Bridge & Creating/Staking AVAX-ELK LP Tokens on Avalanche Mainnet

*The abbreviated version of the video is that you get some ELK on the Fantom chain, use ElkNet to bridge that ELK to the Avalanche mainnet, and then create the LP pair with ELK/AVAX and farm away!*

In this video tutorial we take an in-depth look at another player in the Fantom (FTM) ecosystem: ELK Finance. ELK Finance is actually tied in to 15 other ecosystems and offers myriad options with these other ecosystems (like Binance, Matic, and Avalanche) for farming and staking. We take a look at one of the best features of farming/staking with ELK Finance and that is their protection against impermanent loss (IL). For Avalanche and Fantom mainnets, this is an awesome feature. We go over adding the Avalanche mainnet to your Metamask wallet along with the ELK token. I then demonstrate two (2) ways to get ELK from the app.elk.finance site (swapping/harvesting) and then introduce you to the ElkNet cross-chain bridge (in BETA!). We then transfer ELK from the Fantom mainnet to the Avalanche mainnet to pair with AVAX. We see that the ElkNet bridge takes a few minutes, but you can’t beat it for the flexibility! We then create the Liquidity Pari (LP) tokens using ELK and AVAX on the Avalanche mainnet and drop them into our farm! A great way to earn ELK and leverage your AVAX assets!
