Project Information
- What is it? This project involves deploying 1’200’000 $AJNA into liquidity pools following a strategy and allocating 300’000 in $AJNA for bribes (incentives) to encourage additional liquidity provision. Our aim is to boost the liquidity of the Ajna Protocol, improve trading conditions, provide lucrative DeFi opportunities for $AJNA and foster greater user engagement within the ecosystem.
- What problem is being solved, how? Insufficient liquidity can lead to higher slippage and less favorable trading conditions, deterring users from engaging with the protocol. By injecting substantial liquidity and offering incentives to other liquidity providers, we aim to:
- Enhance market depth and reduce slippage.
- Attract more traders and users to the Ajna Protocol.
- Stimulate liquidity provision.
- Seeding liquidity would create another way to speculate and arbitrage reserve auction on rollups**
- How will this project be a source of growth or success for Ajna? Step-by-Step Summary:
- Liquidity Injection: Deploy 1’200’000 AJNA into selected liquidity pools (bwAJNA-AJNA, AJNA-wETH) to significantly increase available liquidity.
- Incentive Distribution: Allocate 300’000 AJNA as bribes to incentivize other participants to provide liquidity. The incentive amount is calculated to ensure a positive bribe efficiency resulting in a sustainable growth in liquidity and incentives.
- Improved Trading Experience: Enhanced liquidity leads to better pricing and lower transaction costs, attracting more users.
- User Acquisition and Retention: Superior trading conditions encourage user growth and sustained engagement with the protocol.
