To date, we have disbursed more than 28 million DF tokens, with a value exceeding $2m, to users on Arbitrum. We will maintain our commitment to incentivizing Arbitrum users through liquidity mining efforts to draw in more participants. Meanwhile, we believe that a combination of ARB and DF rewards will better motivate participants to further the expansion of both the dForce and Arbitrum ecosystems through various marketing initiatives. **Grant Breakdown** : [Please provide a high-level overview of the budget breakdown and planned use of funds] This grant will be utilized to boost the adoption of dForce and contribute to the diversity and resilience of the Arbitrum ecosystem: - 60% of the grant will be utilized to unveil more use cases for USX across the Arbitrum ecosystem. For instance, collaborating with our partner protocols to improve DEX liquidity, increasing more tailored assets as collateral to mint USX, and onboarding a selection of Real-World Assets (RWA) (i.e., sDAI) to unlock high-yield opportunities for USX holders, etc. - 40% will be utilized to incentivize lending and native minting of USX on Arbitrum. **Funding Address** : 0xC097EA3EA6d6851e8C274ACE6373107C5A253F62 **Funding Address Characteristics** : [Enter details on the status of the address, eligible address must be a 2/3 multisig with private keys securely stored] [Arbitrum Treasury 2/3 multi-sig](https://docs.dforce.network/governance/multi-sig) controlled by core contributors at dForce DAO **Contract Address** : [Enter any specific address that will be used to disburse funds for grant recipients] dForce Liquidity Mining contract for fund disbursement on Arbitrum: 0xc0Dc7C5057141C9065bd9bedf79fd4E9EA69a739 # SECTION 3: GRANT OBJECTIVES AND EXECUTION Clearly outline the primary objectives of the project and the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to measure success. This helps reviewers understand what the project aims to achieve and how progress will be assessed. **Objectives** : [Clearly state the primary objectives of the grant and what you intend to achieve] Arbitrum remains the top priority in dForce’s multichain expansion strategy. We believe that Arbitrum has the potential to sustain its leading role among various Layer 2 solutions in the long term. This is not only due to its Optimistic rollup technology but also because of its vibrant and active ecosystem that features a broad array of projects. With this grant, we aim to increase the adoption of USX, enhance dForce’s collaboration with other DeFi protocols, and onboard more new users from other blockchains to Arbitrum. **Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)**: [Specify the KPIs that will be used to measure success in achieving the grant objectives] USX is #5 stable on Arbitrum with a total supply of 8.5m (USX natively minted on Arbitrum) as of today. Our KPI are mainly around the adoption of USX on Arbitrum: | KPI | KPI Metrics | Data Source | | --- | --- | --- | | Increase the adoption of USX | Grow USX’s total supply by 50% on Arbitrum to 13m | [dForce Dapp](https://app.dforce.network/#/Dashboard/?AssetsType=Lend¤tPool=general) or Defillama | | Add diversity to Arbitrum’s decentralized ecosystem | Support various LSD assets, including wstETH, rETH, etc on Arbitrum. | Collateral assets supplied to dForce Lending & Vaults | | Improve USX’s usage | USX’s trading volume against other stablecoins on Arbitrum. | [https://dune.com/zxyge/dforce-swap](https://dune.com/zxyge/dforce-swap) | **How will receiving a grant enable you to foster growth or innovation within the Arbitrum ecosystem?** : [Provide details] With this grant, we aim to: - boost collaboration among projects on Arbitrum through community-driven, incentive-based initiatives. We will offer liquidity mining incentives and marketing support for projects that integrate or collaborate with dForce, in the form of liquidity mining rewards, grants, or bootstrapping liquidity. - increase the adoption of USX and bolster the robustness of the Arbitrum ecosystem. For instance, dForce DAO has recently greenlit the use of Rocket Pool’s rETH as collateral on Arbitrum. This move is geared towards providing users with options among various LSD assets (wstETH, rETH, etc) to better align with their investment approaches, and boost liquidity for various LSD assets across the Arbitrum ecosystem. - onboard more users from other blockchains. This ARB grant will augment the existing DF liquidity mining program to provide a modest interest rate that promotes sustainable growth, aiming to encourage users to make their initiate move to Arbitrum. Additionally, we plan to introduce real yield to USX holders on Arbitrum by onboarding high quality Real-World Assets (RWA) as collateral to mint USX. This will enable users to leverage DeFi’s efficiency and composability while tapping into real yields within the Arbitrum ecosystem. We also plan to implement sUSX (Saving USX), a new feature that enables USX holders to generate a steady passive income in USX. This systemic interest will be sourced from various avenues, including RWA. We envision to bring the most accessible RWA real yield to Arbitrum users. **Justification for the size of the grant** : [Enter explanation] The grant will be utilized for a measured and focused incentive campaign to ward off short-term capital. dForce will focus on enhancing USX’s adoption by both unlocking more use cases and yield avenues for Arbitrum users, and disbursing rewards through liquidity mining to eligible participants. **Execution Strategy** : [Describe the plan for executing including resources, products, use of funds, and risk management. This includes allocations for specific pools, eligible assets, products, etc.] ARB grant will be utilized to reward activities around USX (integration, lending, trading, etc) on both dForce and other DeFi protocols across the Arbitrum ecosystem. The rewards will be distributed with our battle-tested staking contract and grant. The deployment will focus on USX/USDC pools targeting deepen liquidity, Vaults holding LSD assets, and boosting the adoption of these assets on Arbitrum. Additionally, on the lending front, incentives will be provided for USX, USDC, USDT, and DAI liquidity. **Grant Timeline** : [Describe the timeline for the grant] - Liquidity mining: rewards will be disbursed in a linear fashion (i.e., 3-month) to eligible participants. - Partnerships and integrations with dForce will be assessed individually and disbursed through various marketing campaigns, including liquidity mining or other co-incentivizing initiatives to end users. **Do you accept the funding of your grant streamed linearly for the duration of your grant proposal, and that the multisig holds the power to halt your stream?** [Yes/No] Yes # SECTION 4: PROTOCOL DETAILS Provide details about the Arbitrum protocol requirements relevant to the grant.

I noticed that for the last Arbi airdrop, dForce did not distribute it to users and of course did not sell it, but instead stored it in the Lending protocol. What is the plan for the use of these funds? ---

Have not posted the same thing on each grant but there is a common theme here where the amounts requested dont make economic sense. Maybe you feel the opposite, that’s totally fine. I am sure others think the same as you do and the same as I do. I just want value for ARB holders. That’s all. ---

there won’t be value for arb holders if the token isn’t used for anything. i understand your priorities but the arb token price won’t go up if the chain doesn’t succeed, and the chain won’t be competitive without generous grants. everyone’s entitled to their opinion but commenting on almost every proposal saying it’s too much with almost no other feedback isn’t super helpful. ---

Hi Matt, thanks for your feedback. All ARB grants received will be dedicated entirely to incentivizing lending and trading activities for USX on Arbitrum through liquidity mining campaigns with the proposed schedule as below. 100% of the grant will benefit Arbitrum users, and none will be directed towards development, marketing or non-Arbitrum users. ![Arbitrum Grant](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/arbitrum1/original/2X/a/af892685fd66b4475bfa038dd3856c207720d301.png) ---

it is used to boost the liquidity for ARB for the time being, dForce is alreayd one of the largest lending market for ARB, DF holders could propose for other usage as well. ---

We think dForce and USX can robust Arbitrum users’ activity. Different use cases that are planned to be incentivized with the grant can increase Arbitrum’s growth in different areas. The proposal explains dForce’s future actions clearly. Considering all of this, we are giving vote in favor of this proposal.
