Socket is an interoperability protocol and is used by different DeFi applications for bridging, and our STIP incentives will be available to users via these apps.
For the effective allocation of our STIP funds, Socket partners must be technically ready to go live with the grant operations. We are currently preparing APIs, and contracts to enable this seamlessly for our partners without heavy lifting and targeting to start the distribution by the end of January.
We hope to share our progress and kickstart the program before the next update!
Recap of the Previous Two Weeks
ARB Received Last Disbursement: 0
ARB Utilized as Incentives in the Last Two Weeks: 0

Plan for leftover ARB:
Socket Ecosystem consists of 100+ protocols including top wallets like Coinbase Wallet, Metamask, Rainbow, and DeFi protocols including GMX, JonesDAO, Matcha, etc. We are currently working closely with our partners to enable the rewards directly on their front ends. Once live any user bridging via any Socket Partner app will be able to get bridging rebates for their onboarding. We are in the final stages of completing the technical requirements and partner coordination and expect to launch the campaign soon on all apps together.
We are also working with a few Orbit Chains to enable bridging with incentives for onboarding users. These are expected to go live soon too.
