Balancer's Arbitrum STIP a Resounding Success
馃殌 Balancer's Arbitrum Triumph
Balancer's recent Arbitrum STIP (Stake to Incentivize Pools) initiative has been a significant success, with nearly double the total value locked (TVL), a substantial increase in daily average users, and significantly higher transaction volume throughput compared to previous periods. The protocol's core pool and incentive optimization algorithm allowed it to deepen liquidity in unique pool types that play a pivotal role on both the decentralized exchange (DEX) and the Arbitrum network. Balancer's innovative rate provider technology ensured that liquidity providers' yield would not be arbitraged away by diverging asset prices. The STIP rounds ended with the highest average TVL for an epoch of just under $168 million, with roughly 10% utilization for swap volume across all pools. Balancer has provided a Dune Analytics dashboard for transparency and deeper insights into the Arbitrum STIP stats. The DAO looks forward to future opportunities to work with the Arbitrum Foundation and the community to grow healthy, sustainable liquidity for the network.
