Liquidity Mining Incentives – 0 (LMI-0)

Published on: 14.08.2021

The first Liquidity Mining Incentive for BENQI will run for 90 days.

As detailed in their previous post regarding the most appropriate design for deploying liquidity mining incentives, LMI-0 has been constructed to achieve three main goals:

Bootstrap liquidity and accelerate the growth of the protocol in key metrics such as users, total value locked (TVL), and total borrow
Act as the control to fine-tune future incentive programs
Increase the distribution of QI

Please note that the emissions for LMI-0 will be optimized depending on market conditions

LMI-0 will run in parallel with the initial round of Avalanche Foundation Liquidity Mining Initiatives, where $3M in $AVAX will be distributed to lenders and borrowers of BENQI. The $AVAX rewards will be distributed in two phases, with $1.5M over the first 45 days, and $1.5M in the subsequent 90 days. The full breakdown for the $AVAX rewards will be communicated shortly before launch.

BENQI is thrilled to be launching on August 19, offering users a high-speed, low-cost money market solution on Avalanche.
