Incentive Impact Statement:
Provide a brief statement on how you believe the token incentives from Season 2 will bolster user adoption for your protocol. Include potential impacts on user growth, engagement, and long-term sustainability.
- Incentives are currently being distributed. However, even inactive users who do not participate in Gauges Voting are receiving incentives. Many protocols distribute incentives exclusively to voters. Notably, Thena on BSC and Aerodrome.finance on Base only reward users who have actively voted.
With each passing epoch, the number of votes is increasing. However, in the last epoch, only half of the staked vePUFFER actually exercised their voting power compared to the total staked amount.
By distributing incentives only to stakers who actively vote, the rewards for users who truly participate in PUFFER’s incentive governance could effectively double. This would stimulate new staking demand and serve as a powerful mechanism to encourage active governance participation.
Eligibility Verification:
Please provide a link to your protocol, any security audits for protocol deployment, vaults, etc. If you have (or plan to launch) an active deployment of your protocol on Puffer UniFi please provide whether it includes security audit status, open source status.
