Trader Joe has hit a recorded high in TVL, paired with spikes in activity that have driven recent highs for volume and fee generation. The overall grant program is entering its final phases and ARB usage remains focused on supporting core pairs, whilst also welcoming some new builders that enter into the new Maker Epoch or are planned for the following Maker Epoch to end March.
KPI Tracking and TVL Support Strategy
Our grant program includes a mechanism to sustain Total Value Locked (TVL) in markets after distributing ARB rewards. Here’s how it works:
TVL Threshold: If TVL drops below 25% of its peak 7-day average within 28 days after ARB reward distribution, additional JOE rewards will be allocated.
Evaluation Method: We use a 7-day rolling average to evaluate TVL, comparing it against the highest average during the reward period.
Final Phase 3 Market Analysis
We’ve analyzed the markets from Phase 3 that received ARB rewards using a color-coded system (traffic lights) to indicate changes in TVL. This analysis was conducted 14 days following the ARB reward distribution.
There were two markets in Phase 3 that receives ARB rewards as part of the outlined framework
RDNT: Current TVL -51%
ALPHA: Current TVL -67%
Both remain within the -75% threshold outlined above
Maker Incentive Program that measures Liquidity Providers total fees accrued over the defined Epoch duration of 14 days and ranks them according to fees accrued. The top 30 in each respective Liquidity Pool will share the rewards based on a power function (power=0.7). Rewards are retroactively distributed in the following days after the defined Epoch and can be claimed directly on the UI via a smart contract. Rewards vest between 1 hour and 7 days.
Auto-Pool Yield Farms distribute the planned incentives in a linear fashion and can be collected at any time by all participants in an Auto-Pool Yield Farm. Rewards are shared proportionately to all users in the Auto-Pool Yield Farm.
Summary of incentives plan:
The below ARB being utilized will be distributed over the dates 24th of Feb - 8th of Mar
MM Rewards: 35k $ARB
Auto-Pool Yield Farms 47.25k $ARB
