In the crowded landscape of decentralized finance, a new protocol has emerged that’s taking a different approach to yield generation. IMP Money, which launched on BNB Chain just seven days ago, has already attracted over 500 users to its platform – a notable achievement in an industry where most new projects struggle to gain initial traction.
The protocol operates by pooling user deposits into concentrated liquidity market maker (CLMM) positions on PancakeSwap V3, specifically targeting the USDT/USDC trading pair. This particular pool sees significant daily volume, and by concentrating liquidity within narrow price ranges, the protocol aims to capture a larger share of trading fees than traditional liquidity provision would allow.

Understanding the 0.7% Daily Yield Mechanics
For those unfamiliar with the technical underpinnings, PancakeSwap V3’s concentrated liquidity feature allows liquidity providers to allocate capital within specific price ranges rather than across the entire price spectrum. When the majority of trades occur within these ranges, capital efficiency improves dramatically – by some estimates up to 100 times compared to the previous V2 model.
IMP Money has built what they call the “ImpController” – a smart contract system that manages these positions automatically. According to their documentation, the system targets a daily passive income of approximately 0.7%. With daily compounding factored in, the effective annual return becomes substantially higher than traditional DeFi lending rates.
These numbers will understandably raise eyebrows among DeFi veterans who have seen countless protocols promise unsustainable returns. However, the team points to the verified nature of their smart contracts and a completed security audit by CertiK – one of the blockchain industry’s more recognized auditing firms – as evidence of their technical legitimacy.
Rapid Community Growth
Perhaps more interesting than the yield figures is the speed at which the community has formed. Within the first week, over 500 wallets have deposited funds into the protocol, with the active community gathering on Telegram at @impmoneychat.
The growth appears to be largely organic and referral-driven. IMP Money operates a multi-tier referral program that rewards users for bringing others to the platform. The structure allows participants to earn matching bonuses on deposits across up to 21 levels of referrals – a design that has clearly incentivized rapid network expansion.
“What drew me in was the combination of the passive income mechanics and the referral structure,” explained one early participant who asked to remain anonymous. “The CertiK audit gave me enough confidence to start with a small amount, and when I saw the daily returns actually hitting my dashboard, I began telling others.”
This word-of-mouth dynamic has created something of a land rush mentality, with community members racing to build their referral networks while positions at higher levels of the structure remain available.
Technical Foundation and Transparency
On the technical side, IMP Money has opted for full transparency with its smart contracts. All code is verified and readable on BSCScan, the BNB Chain block explorer. The main contracts – including the treasury, vault, and controller – use upgradeable proxy patterns, which allow for bug fixes while preserving user funds.
The platform requires a 21-day lock period for deposits, which the team says serves two purposes: it provides stability to the liquidity positions by preventing rapid capital outflows, and it maximizes compounding effects for users.
Withdrawals can be processed either through the platform’s web interface or directly through BSCScan, giving users the ability to access their funds even if the website experiences downtime. This non-custodial approach means users maintain control of their assets through their own wallets.
The UK Registration Factor
In a regulatory landscape where many DeFi protocols operate from jurisdictions with minimal oversight, IMP Money has taken the unusual step of registering as a UK limited company. Company records show IMP Money LTD registered with Companies House, with directors publicly listed.
Whether this registration adds meaningful protection for users remains debatable – cryptocurrency regulation in the UK is still evolving – but it does provide a level of accountability rarely seen in anonymous DeFi projects.
Looking Ahead
The protocol’s early success brings both opportunity and scrutiny. Sustained yields of the magnitude advertised depend on continued trading volume in the underlying PancakeSwap pools and effective position management. Market conditions can and do change.
For now, the growing Telegram community @impmoneychat remains bullish. Daily discussions range from technical analysis of the smart contracts to strategies for building referral networks.
Whether IMP Money can maintain its momentum beyond the initial enthusiasm phase remains to be seen. What’s clear is that in a DeFi landscape often characterized by complexity and obfuscation, this protocol has managed to attract meaningful user adoption in a remarkably short timeframe.
