[dForce] STIP.B Bi-Weekly Update [1-Jul-2024]
We are very thrilled to receive 500,000 ARB from the STIP-Bridge program, which will be utilized to reward the adoption of USX and lending activities on Unitus Finance.
Please note that we just launched the “Arbitrum Summer Vibes” campaign on 27 Jun, with the first epoch ending on 3 July. This report serves to provide an overview of our plan and timelines.
On the lending side (Unitus Finance), we plan to:
-
incentivize stablecoin lending and borrowing activities;
-
add RWA tokens as collateral to mint sUSX, carrying the trust of value and sustainable yields for Arbitrum users (coming soon);
-
incentivize BLP for UTS/DF on Camelot;
-
enable sUSX as a collateral-only asset so that users can utilize sUSX as collateral to borrow other assets, further enhancing capital efficiency for USX holders.
In the meanwhile, we are implementing several strategies to further bootstrap the adoption of USX within the Arbitrum ecosystem, including:
-
onboard LSD assets as collateral to mint USX on Arbitrum, starting from the collaboration with Aspida (Introducing the saETH vault);
-
launch sUSX, the tokenized version of yield-bearing USX, redistributing revenue from dForce protocols back to USX holders. The current APY is 15% which can be further adjusted through governance.
We hope these strategies can help create robust and resilient liquidity that will remain even after the conclusion of the campaign.

Mechanism for distribution incentives: [Insert all mechanism description]
- Unitus Finance: Users who lend and borrow stablecoins (USX, USDC, USDT, DAI, sUSX - collateral only) on Unitus Finance. Backend services take a snapshot of users’ BLP, deposits and 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.
- saETH Vault: ARB rewards are distributed in real-time based on the amount of USX minted against collateralized saETH tokens deposited by users through smart contracts.
- DigiFT RWA Market: KYC users can provide GMMF01 assets (T-bill assets) as collateral to borrow USDC. ARB tokens will be rewarded to users who deposit and/or borrow USDC from the RWA Market.
Summary of incentives plan:
For Unitus Finance:
-
borrowing and lending stablecoins (USX, USDT, USDC, DAI);
-
deposit sUSX - so that users can utilize sUSX as collateral to borrow other assets, further enhancing capital efficiency for USX holders;
-
lending and borrowing USDC in the RWA vault (DigiFT token);
-
incentivize BLP for UTS/DF on Camelot;
For USX: utilize saETH as collateral to mint USX
Summary of changes to the original plan: [Insert changes]
Starting from the 2nd epoch, we are extending incentives to the RWA vault and utilizing sUSX as collateral on Unitus Finance to borrow other assets. Both strategies aim to provide sustainable and resilient liquidity that remains for a longer period.
