Renzo Protocol has initiated voting for RP-4, proposing to replace the ezPoints program with a new Strategic Incentive Program. The proposal comes as Season 4's snapshot was completed on March 31st.
Key updates:
- Season 4 point totals viewable on Renzo Portfolio
- REZ claims will be on Base network
- New integrations with Aave, Kamino Finance, Uniswap, and 0xfluid
The shift from points-based rewards is driven by:
- Diminishing returns at $1bn+ participation
- Renzo's strong market position with ezETH and ezSOL
- Need for more strategic growth incentives
Users will receive direct REZ rewards instead of waiting months for points calculations.
