Summary
We propose to cut NOTE incentive emissions by 15% in accordance with the plan set out in NIP-80.
The proposed incentive cuts reduce emissions more heavily on Arbitrum (proportionally), and more heavily on USDT than on USDC or ETH. This reflects three factors:
-
The general decrease of activity on Arbiturm following the cessation of the Arbitrum incentive programs.
-
The increased preference of Arbitrum users to sell NOTE incentives relative to Mainnet users.
-
Focusing on ETH and USDC over USDT as core currencies to aggregate activity and leveraged vault strategies.
