Bastion is a lending and stableswap protocol built on Aurora, NEAR’s EVM-compatible layer. Building on Aurora enables Bastion to create an autonomous interest-rate engine with superior capital efficiency, low slippage swaps, fast transactions, ultra-low fees, precise liquidations, and harness the underlying UX benefits of NEAR.

The Bastion Token (BSTN) is Bastion Protocol's governance token. BSTN tokens are used as incentives to bootstrap borrow demand and provide initial deposit rate stability.

Users can manage their BSTN Tokens the following way:

• Provide Liquidity BSTN/NEAR LP farm on Trisolaris for BSTN and TRI dual rewards.
• Stake BSTN in BSTN Kingdom, the hub of the token
• Users who buy and HODL all their BSTN for longer than 1 month will receive the Diamond Hands Bastion NFT, an extremely rare and tradable diamond statue dedicated to Bastion’s most loyal supporters.

Further BSTN utility coming over the next few weeks includes: veBSTN, gauges for Stableswap and lending, protocol-owned liquidity, rewards boosting, borrowing fee rebates, BSTN (3, 3) bonds, and a borrow market for BSTN.
