Thetanuts Finance x Pendle for Arbitrum STIP Bridge

Initially, under Pendle’s Phase IV of the Arbitrum STIP, Thetanuts Finance would receive an allocation of 12,000 $ARB - to be distributed between our Pendle PT Strategy Vaults over three weeks from Aug 22 to Sep 12.

However, Pendle has extended the distribution rewards by one week and will now end on Sep 19; it will also include an additional $ARB allocation of 3,000. To better align with the new distribution structure, we are also extending our final distribution by one week. Users will have the opportunity to earn 33,333 $ARB over three weeks (Aug 30 - Sep 19) instead of the usual two.

Contract address label [Form 18] (ARB STIP Transparency) completed for all addresses: Yes

ARB claimed: 200,000 $ARB claimed

ARB left over: 0 $ARB to claim

Plan for leftover ARB:

We began our STIP Bridge Program on 20th June 2024 and will be distributing our rewards on a bi-weekly basis over 12 weeks. We expected to end on 12 September 2024 – in line with Arbitrum Foundation’s guidance on when the $ARB incentives should be distributed by.
However, with the new distribution structure from Pendle, we have decided to extend the final distribution by one week to better align both protocols. We now expect to end on 19 September 2024.

Summary of incentives:

We intend to distribute Arbitrum STIP Bridge over a 13-week period.

In order to create sticky liquidity between Arbitrum STIP and Arbitrum STIP Bridge, Thetanuts Finance also promised that 25% of $ARB rewards from Arbitrum STIP Bridge would go to users who retained their liquidity in Thetanuts Finance during the interim period. This 50,000 $ARB will be distributed over the 13-week period to eligible users.

The remaining 150,000 $ARB will be distributed to liquidity providers on Thetanuts Finance over a 13-week period, according to the below breakdown. Note that these weights are subject to change by the Thetanuts Finance team depending on market conditions.

  • Users using Pendle PT Strategy Vaults: 65%
  • Users on Add Liquidity Module: 20%
  • Users with Long Positions: 5%
  • Users with Boosted Short Positions: 10%

$ARB rewards will be available for claim on a bi-weekly basis on Mondays, on our Incentives page.

Weights are subject to change at the discretion of Thetanuts Finance.
