Over the past months, we’ve experimented with short-term incentive campaigns via Merkl to grow liquidity across various pools on the Voltage DEX. Those campaigns have now concluded. To re-engage our users, boost liquidity, and support active trading pairs, we’re proposing a new 3-month incentive program using both FUSE and VOLT tokens.
This proposal follows up on a previous commitment to use a portion of our DAO treasury for token burns and liquidity incentives. We’re now detailing the incentive portion below and asking the community to share feedback before we move forward.
Goal
-
Reactivate rewards across active trading pairs.
-
Grow TVL in capital-efficient pools.
Budget
-
Total Value: $5,000
-
Token Split: 50% FUSE + 50% VOLT
-
Timeframe: 3 months
-
Distribution via: Merkl.xyz boosted rewards
Pool Weights (Based on Volume/TVL Efficiency and Strategic Importance)
Pool | Weight | % of Budget | USD Value Distributed per Month | Monthly USD |
---|---|---|---|---|
asUSDC–USDC.e | 25% | $1,250 | ~$417 | High usage |
USDT–USDC.e | 25% | $1,000 | ~$333 | High stablecoin volume |
WFUSE–VOLT | 20% | $1,000 | ~$333 | Boost utility of VOLT token |
WFUSE–USDT | 15% | $750 | ~$250 | Good traction, growth room |
wstETH–WETH | 10% | $500 | ~$167 | Appealing to ETH-native LPs |
WETH–WBTC V2 | 5% | $250 | ~$83 | Niche but valuable pairing |
The above weights were derived from real-time TVL and trading volume data from Voltage’s top pools. The emphasis is on pools with either strong trading activity or strategic value to the Voltage ecosystem.
Reward Structure
-
Rewards will be split 50/50 between FUSE and VOLT tokens
-
Distributed on Voltage via Merkl
-
APR targets will be flexible but aim for meaningful LP engagement (est. 20–80% APY depending on pool and TVL)
What We’re Asking
We’re opening this up to community feedback:
-
Do you agree with this proposed pool weighting and $5,000 split?
-
Should rewards remain 50/50 between FUSE and VOLT tokens?
-
Are there any other pools you believe should be considered?
