dForce Bi-Weekly Update (1-Feb-2014)
dForce received a 1 million ARB grant through the STIP Backfund and initiated our incentive program on January 18, 2024.
During the first two weeks, dForce has observed substantial growth on Arbitrum across all metrics, such as TVL, user numbers, DEX liquidity, and more. dForce STIP incentives have been specifically directed towards supporting iUSX staking, lending activities on Unitus Finance, and providing liquidity on Camelot and Curve for USX and Unitus’ BLP.
Recap of the Previous Two Weeks
ARB Received Last Disbursement: 428,574 ARB

ARB left over: 282,574 ARB
Plan for leftover ARB: In addition to our current incentive plan, we have introduced a new LSD vault in collaboration with Aspida starting from February 1st. Another Stable Vault will be introduced in the coming week to encourage more minting of USX on Arbitrum.
Summary of incentives:
- Unitus Finance: ARB rewards are distributed to lenders and borrowers who provide liquidity for BLP (UTS/DF, UTS/USX) on Camelot.
- iUSX Staking: ARB rewards are distributed to users who stake their USX yield token on Unitus Finance.
- Camelot LP: ARB rewards are distributed to users upon liquidity provision for UTS/DF, UTS/USX via Camolet, incentivizing LPs.
- Curve LP: ARB rewards are distributed to users upon liquidity provision for USX/USDC via Curve, incentivizing LPs.
- Aspida LSD Vault: ARB rewards are distributed to users who stake ETH and/or wstETH on dForce.
Additional Info / Disclosures to Multisig: The contract for ARB disbursement has been changed to 0x3F126586031017f601bBD00Da03fF0B0F45660c2 from 0xc0Dc7C5057141C9065bd9bedf79fd4E9EA69a739 in the original proposal.

Mechanism for distribution incentives:
- Unitus Lending & iUSX Staking: Users who provide BLP tokens reaching the threshold can mine ARB tokens by depositing and borrowing assets, or staking iUSX on Unitus. Backend services take a snapshot of users’ BLP, deposits, borrowings, staked iUSX every hour, then calculate users’ final mining weight by multiplying the value of BLP by the corresponding weight and adding it to their deposits, borrowings, and staked iUSX. Distribution occurs weekly.
- BLP Liquidity Mining: Similar to Unitus Mining, this method uses snapshots to determine users’ staked amounts and distributes rewards weekly.
- Curve LP: ARB rewards are distributed to users upon liquidity provision for USX/USDC via Curve, incentivizing LPs.
- Aspida Vault Distribution: ARB rewards are distributed in real-time based on the amount of wstETH tokens deposited by users through smart contracts. Please see announcement here.
Summary of incentives plan:
Alongside our existing incentive plans mentioned earlier, we are planning to introduce a new Stable Vault. In this vault, users will receive ARB tokens as rewards when they mint USX by staking USDC, USDT, and DAI on dForce.
Summary of changes to the original plan:
New Stable Vault to encourage minting of USX from other stablecoins (coming soon)
