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.

**Renzo Unveils pzETH Strategy: Triple Yield Streams from Single Asset**
Renzo introduces a **comprehensive breakdown** of their pzETH strategy, offering users three distinct yield streams from one asset. The strategy involves: - **Minting pzETH** through Mellow Protocol using ETH - **Borrowing against pzETH** at 90% LTV on Gearbox - **Leveraging sUSDe positions** for enhanced yields **Key benefits include:** - Up to **38% net APY** potential - **3X Mellow Protocol points** - **3X Renzo ezPoints** - **35X Ethena S3 points** The multi-step process creates a delta-neutral strategy while maintaining ETH exposure and maximizing point accumulation across multiple protocols. *Learn more about this yield optimization strategy and how to implement it effectively.*
