Weekly Liquidity Mining Incentives for cSwap pools (Phase 5)

Overview:

cSwap DEX has been launched on the Mainnet. With strong frameworks, good mechanisms, and a robust build, a good but healthy incentive system is imperative for the growth of the DEX. Keeping this in mind, we open the discussion to the community on an upcoming proposal to start the next phase of liquidity incentives on cSwap DEX by allocating 214,286 CMDX for 7 days - to be distributed as per the model for Liquidity rewards . These rewards will start when the current reward phase ends.

The weighting of this week’s rewards is based on pool liquidity.

The Master pool will receive 52% of the total incentives allocated for the phase. The other 48% will be distributed amongst the Child pools as external incentives. A detailed breakdown of these incentives is in the table at the end of the discussion.

Let’s have a quick look at the rewards mechanism before proceeding further:

There are two types of pools on cSwap DEX: Master Pool and Child Pool. Master Pool would be used on cSwap and other apps as a prerequisite for earning token incentives.

cSwap has two types of incentive distribution parameters; the ‘Master Pool/Child Pool Rewards System’ mechanism and the ‘External Incentives’ mechanism.

There are multiple combinations for the rewards mechanics. Still, in a nutshell, any liquidity provider will earn maximum rewards only if they provide liquidity in both the master pool and one or more of the child pools. A better understanding of the reward mechanism can be gained from cSwap docs .

The pools incentivized for the next phase will be:

  • CMDX/ATOM
  • CMDX/CMST
  • CMDX/OSMO
  • CMDX/axlUSDC
  • CMDX/JUNO
  • CMDX/WETH
  • CMDX/WBTC
  • CMDX/stATOM
  • CMST/ATOM
  • CMST/OSMO
  • CMST/JUNO
  • CMST/stATOM
  • CMDX/WMATIC
  • CMST/WMATIC

The breakup of rewards for each pool is as follows:

Note: Rewards are in $CMDX

We intend to run the incentives until the protocol matures. Post maturity, these incentives will be optimized again after discussion with the community.

Is there insight in how effective the incentives are at this moment?
Is liquidity progressing in contrast to the incentives spent?

Yes the incentives are actually effective to get the initial 800k + liquidity. However its too early to say anything. We are also analysing the user behaviour based on different pools and their APRs. If you look closely at the Phase 5 rewards, we have structured it differently this time especially the external APR on the Master pool. This will help us get concentrated liquidity on pools that the users would like to use.
