Summary

Since the start of incentives, Total Value Locked (TVL) experienced an initial surge but has stabilized at just over $14 million over the past two weeks. These incentives are distributed through the new v2.2 version of Liquidity Book, which still requires integration with key DEX aggregators. Consequently, trading volume has not reached the anticipated levels, pending the full integration of these DEX aggregators.

Despite this, trading volume has shown a consistent increase since the launch of the incentives, with daily rolling averages now exceeding $30 million. However, fees generated have remained flat. The DEX landscape in Arbitrum faces significant and growing competition, due to aggressive pricing strategies throughout the ecosystem. Trader Joe, in particular, struggles to generate volume unless it matches the fees being set in competing trading venues.

Summary

Over the past two weeks, Total Value Locked (TVL) has remained stable, as some rewards have been reduced and some users have withdrawn ETH from liquidity pools following ETF Spot approval news. Despite this, the DEX has seen growth in trading volume, though fees and Daily Active Users (DAUs) have been stable or slightly declining. The next two weeks see an uptick in rewards across key pools.

Additionally, the Galactica Campaign, offering 50,000 ARB rewards, has shown strong initial engagement with over 2,000 users participating in the community campaign and 830 participants in Galactica liquidity pools. A detailed performance analysis of this campaign will follow, but early results are promising.

An upcoming key integration for the V2.2 Protocol is Paraswap routing, which has historically accounted for around 5% of daily volume. This should add noticeable uplift to overall DEX metrics.

High Level

Key Metrics

Following the conclusion of incentives, TVL experienced a ~30% decline. Trading volume remained relatively stable throughout, peaking mid-program. However, user activity and fees generated gradually decreased over the course of the campaign.

Ecosystem And General Take on Performance

During the program, the DEX landscape was highly competitive, with multiple platforms offering similar incentive structures. For LFJ (Trader Joe), attracting user attention proved challenging compared to the first STIP program, even with the incentives offered.

One notable difficulty was the absence of wider ecosystem integration via other programs or supporting services such as ALMs or other ARB rewards on top of LFJ pools, due to Liquidity Book’s unique DLMM architecture. Combine this with a broader DEX landscape offering comparable yields, the result was stronger headwinds for liquidity acquisition on the LFJ DEX, despite its unique approach to concentrated liquidity. As a result, several markets struggled to reach a self-sustaining size, even with attractive yield opportunities.

Moreover, intense competition and limited liquidity growth across the ecosystem led to fee reductions across many DEX platforms in an effort to capture trading volume. Over the duration of the program, a consistent trend emerged as platforms continually lowered fees with many core pools such as ETH-USDC set to 1bp.

Community Campaign

50,000 ARB was allocated towards a user campaign which focused on supporting the overarching incentives by introducing a creative edge (Arbitrum Galactica) that provided a small additional side of gamification to the normal process of accruing ARB rewards from providing Liquidity.

45,000 ARB from the 50,000 ARB was allocated to points, which were accrued by providing liquidity around a +2/-2% market depth of the active bin. Selected LPs had the Galactica tracking, which was facilitated over 3, 4 week epochs. Markets rotated across each epoch. The additional 5,000 was distributed through expeditions (Riddles that were hosted on QuestN). This riddle was a progressive story, connected to the overarching Arbitrum Galactica Theme.
