LEAP-6: Incentivise Lyra ETH and LINK option markets

Author
StatusImplemented
Created2021-09-28

Simple Summary

Distribute LYRA tokens to users who provide liquidity to the following pools:

Lyra ETH Option Market

Lyra LINK Option Market

This program will run from Monday, 4th October (23:00 UTC) through Tuesday, October 26th (8:00 UTC).

As the markets have been re-deployed, there must be ample time for users to migrate to the new LiquidityPools so that they can participate.

Abstract

LEAP-6 is intended to be a continuation of Lyra's liquidity mining program on the ETH option market, as well as providing incentive for the new LINK option market. Users who provide liquidity will receive LYRA tokens in proportion with their share of the total liquidity for the specific market. The tokens will be distributed on a date yet to be determined.

Rewards should match the previous incentive (187,500 per week, over the intended 4 weeks = 750,000) with an 80 (ETH) to 20 (LINK) split of them.

Pool Reward Begining Ending
Lyra ETH option market LiquidityPool 600,000 LYRA Monday 4 October 23:00 UTC Tuesday 26 October 08:00 UTC
Lyra LINK option market LiquidityPool 150,000 LYRA Monday 4 October 23:00 UTC Tuesday 26 October 08:00 UTC

Motivation

LEAP-3, the first liquidity mining program, has been successful in bringing millions of sUSD liquidity into the ETH option market. With the launch of the new LINK market, we want to ensure there is enough liquidity for reasonable trade volume to occur on the new LINK market.

The rewards are split based on the previous round value so that existing liquidity is utilised rather than putting undue stress on the sUSD peg on Optimism. As trade volume on the ETH market is expected to be higher, we provide a higher portion of the rewards for that market.

We include an extra week of rewards in the total pools due to the inconvenience of having to migrate liquidity to the new contracts, as well as having to deal with any issues surrounding regenesis.

Specification

Overview

Since the LYRA token is not live, it is not feasible to use the popular staking rewards contracts. Instead, rewards for both pools will be computed off-chain using a script that determines the average liquidity provided by an address over the period. The work required in this LEAP is determining the eligibility criteria and implementing the script.

Rationale

As previous reward programs were successful, we want to maintain momentum by providing a similar amount of rewards. We want to also ensure there is ample liquidity in the LINK market, as it is the first of it's kind anywhere.
