Author(s): Twitter user @AvaxGems Reference: Forum Discussion Created: 10/07/22 Labels: #LiquidityMining

Simple Summary

On Oct 6th, SPA/USDs trading volume did over $430K in 24 hours, 4th most among all Arbitrum native tokens only behind GMX, DPX, and rDPX. However, these three tokens each has at least $5.9M liquidity on-chain, and SPA only has around $450K at the moment. Low on-chain liquidity has been a known issue for the SPA token, many investors hesitated to invest in SPA, and low on-chain liquidity has been their main concern. This proposal suggests increasing the SPA/USDs liquidity mining incentives by 50% to deepen its liquidity on Arbitrum.

Motivation

Bring more SPA liquidity on Arbitrum, encourage on chain trading, and interacting with the Sperax protocol.

Technical Specification
