Thales benefits from Velodrome's liquidity acquisition and flywheel
Thales benefits from Velodrome's liquidity acquisition and flywheel
Thales protocol achieved powerful results by utilizing voter incentives, Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL), and Protocol Owned Votepower (POV) strategies on Velodrome. They directed $16.9K in VELO to their pools with just $3.8K in THALES, acquiring $410 of TVL for every $1 in incentives - 2.75x more effective than Uniswap. Thales' voting power now earns more LP rewards per week than their incentives budget. Velodrome's acquisition of $veVELO as POV allows protocols to move away from incentivizing in their native tokens.
