💧ZARD Emissions Schedule

Token inflation

ve(3,3) Dynamics

The main stakeholders of a typical AMM, including veZARD holders, LPs, users, and protocols, are all aligned by the ve(3,3) dynamics that determine ZARD emissions.

veZARD holders — are incentivized to vote either for the highest volume pools (because the greater the volume, the greater the amount of fees produced as a result), or the ones being bribed by protocols seeking to bootstrap their liquidity. This allows these protocols to create their own flywheel, if the token generates strong volume.

Liquidity Providers (LPs) — are incentivized with emissions driven by “Real Yield” based metrics.

Traders — benefit from the low slippage thanks to the liquidity provided, in concert with the latest and greatest battle-tested vAMM / sAMM tech.

Protocols — have access to a cooperation oriented liquidity layer. They benefit from capital efficient trading conditions for their tokens, and they can incentivize their liquidity via bribes offered to veZARD holders.

Emissions specifications

• Weekly emissions (at inception): 30,240 ZARD

• Weekly emissions decay: 1%

• Weekly developer wallet allocation: 5%

• Weekly veZARD rebase: Up to 30%

• Emissions for liquidity providers: 65%

First Week Emissions are fairly low when compared to Liquid Tokens Available (POL + Claimable Tokens). 30,240 ZARD accounts for 11.2% of Liquid tokens only, which is much lower than other ve3,3 forks where first week emission accounts for 30% to 130%. This ensures lower sell pressure and protection of token value for our seed investors.
