Author(s): Sperax Team Reference: Recent AMAs Created: 9/24/22 Labels: #LiquidityMining

Simple Summary

After a successful token swap, the recently acquired SDL will be used to redirect SDL emissions to the USDs pool on Saddle Exchange. A reduction in SPA emissions on the pool can maintain a constant TVL thanks to the new SDL emissions. The proposal suggests extending the farm until new SDL emissions are added, at which point the rate will be reduced by 50%.
