Distribution program pays out 100k ARB per week based on veBAL voting for pools on Arbitrum.
Some pools have a boost factor, then ARB is distributed to all pools based on their relative boosted weight.
Pools are capped at 10% of the total weekly $ARB, except for ETH based LSD stableswap pools which are capped at 20%
Boosts and caps are defined per gauge in arbitrumGrantGaugeMetadata.json
- Emissions per year config
- Static Boost Info
- ARB amounts emitted
- Output Data is collected in output/ directory
Boost is based on 2 factors.
- A fixed boost granted to incentive important initiatives
- A variable boost based on the efficiency of the pool (fees/emissions)
By default, all pools have a fixed boost of 1. The following table describes situations that receive a higher fixed boost:
| Desired Outcome/Activity | Fixed Boost |
|---|---|
| Ecosystem Integration | 1.5x |
| Core Infrastructure | 1.75x |
| New and Novel AMM tech | 2x |
- Core pools that receive bribes from fees based on governance and with at least 1 million dollars in TVL.
- Yield splitting protocols (such as Pendle) will have extra ARB allocated to the supported pools that have TVL >$1m
- Concentrated liquidity pool types by Gyroscope
- FXPool https://docs.xave.co/product-overview-1/amm Pools meant to facilitate low slippage trades for assets the trade at a known exchange rate
- Balancer LP Tokens (BPT) with significant TVL as collateral on lending markets
- LSTs
- 80/20 based governance/incentive systems.
This is to help get attention to new Custom Pool types that have just launched.
Pools in this section may move to the "Integrations" category after some time.
The variable boost is determined by using the following formula:
Variable Boost = ** (Fees Earned * 3) / (USD Value of BAL emitted + 1)**
The variable boosted is capped at 3 and has a minimum of 1.
The fee based boost is added to the fixed boost, so:
Total Boost = Fixed Boost + Variable Boost - 1
where both boosts are >=1 it will be automatically computed by the model and applied.
