They’re being very responsible with the grants imo.
Native pairs to Arbitrum (these pairs tend to need the most liquidity and are undercapitalized)
Critical infrastructure pairs (WETH, ARB, WBTC, stablecoins, and most users regularly use)
Pairs that play to the strengths of the AMM they’re on.
Avoiding already incentivized pairs by another organization
Avoiding overcapitalized pairs
Structuring incentives so AMMs are not working against each other inefficiently
They’re ensuring an equitable distribution of grants, because many AMM’s possibly receiving grants use Gamma already, and being flexible avoids double dipping or over incentivized pools. This is almost even a service to the DAO itself.
provide bi-weekly updates on vaults, TVL, performance, and incentive distribution.

Blockworks Research supports this proposal and finds the requested amount of 750,000 ARB to be justified based on, among other things, the anticipated sustainable impact on, and goodwill to, the ecosystem, metrics such as TVL / volume / fees on Arbitrum and overall, a comparative analysis of all submitted STIP proposals, the distribution of incentives across verticals, as well as, to a certain extent, the recommendations made by the Arbitrum Working Group through the four grant categories.
From @Seedgov led by the @cattin delegation, we want to convey our support to this proposal. The reasons why we agree are as follows:
In addition to meeting and being within the volume and TVL requirements, Gamma is the largest MCL in Arbitrum, this proposal benefits both Gamma and all DEXs involved.
We want to clarify that this is not the final vote, since as we clarify in this release, the final vote is defined by our community. We also want to invite you to attend our Governance Call that will be held tomorrow in our discord.
We believe that focusing liquidity incentives on both native and non-native AMMs is an effective way to enhance liquidity across the Arbitrum network.
The proposal’s emphasis on identifying and supporting unbiased, undercapitalized pools sets it apart and addresses a critical need, making it highly beneficial for the ecosystem.
I supported this proposal, and since the pairs to be incentivized are not chosen yet, I want to urge you to avoid incentivizing stETH, and to encourage you to incentivize alt LSDs as Lido’s staking dominance is a major centralizing black mark on our L1.
Gamma Strategies, brings it all together by including the Arbitrum native DEXs for this proposal. Even though they are requesting a significant amount of budget, Gamma Strategies agrees on providing bi-weekly program updates on vaults, TVL, performance, and incentive distribution.
We’re supporting this proposal and voting in favor.
Gamma has deployed a Google Sheets dashboard with all relevant addresses, pools, and data on distribution for the STIP duration. Please see the link below
