GCGP Contracts
None so far. See the following overview for projections on how GCGP Grants are about to be distributed if participants execute on their proposed milestones.
Gains Network confirmed with the participants whether they still expect to execute on their proposed timelines. All parties confirmed and the first tranches of $ARB will be distributed as per the overview. Transactions will be included in following bi-weekly reports.

STATS
Note that, due to recent gTrade updates (v9 & a tokenomics revamp) and the high priority of fast-follows required by Gains Network’s dev team, the Arbitrum-native dashboard is still in progress to fit the STIP.B program and include newly incentivized contracts. It is expected to be live by EOW. All data will be retroactively visible but for now, absolute numbers (snapshot) will be provided for the incentivized pools:
Total TVL:
gTrade Vaults
gToken and GNS pools:
- GNS / ETH on Camelot: $637k
- gDAI on Penpie: $2.08M
- gUSDC / USDC on Ramses: $1.20M
- gUSDC / USDC on Balancer: $1.02M
- gUSDC / USDC on Timeswap: $666k
Following metrics are derived from the protocol-wide Dashboard but provide a quite realistic representation as Arbitrum is the most dominant chain for Gains Network in terms of traffic.
Average daily transactions: [Insert stat]
Average daily volumes: $94.7M
Number of unique user addresses: N/A
Transaction fees: ~$857k last two weeks

Plan For the Next Two Weeks
Amount of ARB to be distributed:
Trading incentives (Epoch 3 and 4)
- 327,272.73 ARB in total
- 85% Fees (capped at 75% rebate)
- 10% Absolute PnL
- 5% Loyalty
LP incentives (Week 3):
- 24,964 ARB in total, distributed as follows:
6,666.66 $ARB GNS / ETH on Camelot
1,998 $ARB Penpie gDAI bribes
8,500 $ARB Ramses CL pool — gUSDC / USDC
500 $ARB Copra borrowing pool — gUSDC
1,800 $ARB for a Timeswap gUSDC lending market.
5,500 $ARB Balancer gUSDC / USDC pool through a Beefy boost contract
LP Incentives (Week 4):
Same as with Week 3, with a slightly different approach for the Balancer pool distribution where 4k ARB will go through the Beefy booster contract and 1.5k ARB will be utilized for bribes.
GCGP Grants
The first tranches of GCGP Grants will be distributed to projects that are eligible and confirmed their projections are still valid. These transactions will be included in the next report. See the overview above for which projects are expected to be
Contracts that will be incentivized: See above
Contract address label Form 54 completed for all addresses: Yes
Mechanism for distribution incentives:
- Gains Network distributes ARB incentives for trading through a custom contract labelled above.
- Rewards are streamed weekly
- LP Incentives are distributed manually once every week through the above labelled contracts and are then handled by those contracts throughout the week.
- Gains Network makes sure that $ARB LP Incentives are only sent to contracts handled by partners that are KYB’ed with the Arbitrum Foundation
- GCGP Grants will be distributed to (multisig) wallets by grant recipients who will then incentivize their campaigns on top of gTrade
- Gains Network ensured that the applications were submitted by the official project teams
Summary of incentives plan:
- Trading incentives
- LP Incentives (gTokens and GNS)
- GCGP Budgeting and distributions
Summary of changes to the original plan: As highlighted in the Addendum and first bi-weekly report, Gains Network is pursuing new integrations for gUSDC markets on third party venues. The first steps are to attract sufficient liquidity on DEXs to unlock oracles.
Therefore, the first change to the original plan (ie. the first bi-weekly report) is the creation and incentivisation of the Balancer / Beefy pool. More changes are expected once required price feeds are live. Any newly incentivized contracts will be included in following bi-weekly reports.
