Aborean Incentives
How it Works
Incentives are the engine that drives liquidity, governance participation, and long-term alignment in the Aborean ecosystem. By design, Aborean distributes rewards through structured programs that sustain deep liquidity, attract new projects, and ensure governance power remains in the hands of active participants.
Liquidity Incentives
Directed weekly through the gauge system, governed by veABX holders. Liquidity providers (LPs) earn ABX emissions and trading fees when veABX voters allocate emissions to their pools. Partners can amplify incentives by offering bribes (additional rewards) to veABX voters, creating a competitive market for emissions.
Voting Incentives
A dedicated 7.5% of supply (37,500,000 ABX) has been reserved as Voting Incentives. These tokens are deployed during early epochs to bootstrap activity, ensuring veABX holders are rewarded for actively directing emissions. This creates a strong initial flywheel for pool selection and liquidity growth.
Public Goods Fund Incentives
20% of supply (100,000,000 ABX) is auto-locked as veABX under the Public Goods Fund. This veABX votes permanently for ecosystem pairs (e.g., ABX/USDC, WETH/USDC, staked ETH/ETH), ensuring deep liquidity for base assets. Fees generated from these pools flow back into the Public Goods Fund and are redeployed to support infrastructure, builders, and long-term ecosystem growth.
Foundation Incentives
20% of supply (100,000,000 ABX) is managed by the Aborean Foundation. 25% of Foundation voting power is permanently directed to ecosystem pairs. The remaining votes are deployed flexibly to incentivize strategic pairs, bootstrap partner liquidity, and match external bribes. This ensures stable liquidity for Abstract’s core assets while giving Aborean the agility to support emerging projects.
Ascendance Program
10% of supply (50,000,000 ABX) is allocated to the Ascendance Program, Aborean’s long-term loyalty and alignment engine. Rewards are distributed in seasons (3-month cycles), starting with 1.5% of supply in Season 1 and tapering by 25% each season. Participants who lock ABX as veABX receive rebates and extras, rewarding governance participation and multi-epoch commitment.
Partner Incentives
Aborean enables partner projects to supply additional incentives on top of ABX emissions. These may include partner tokens, ecosystem NFTs, or other rewards. This mechanism aligns Aborean’s liquidity with broader Abstract ecosystem growth.
How Incentives Flow
1. veABX votes → Direct emissions toward specific liquidity pools.
2. Liquidity providers → Earn ABX emissions + pool trading fees.
3. Voters → Earn bribes and governance influence.
4. Foundation & Public Goods Fund → Provide structural backstop, ensuring ecosystem pairs are always incentivized.
5. Programs (Ascendance, Voting Incentives, Migration Incentives) → Layer on top, creating long-term alignment and early bootstrapping.
Incentives Philosophy
Sustainable: Emissions taper over time while veABX alignment grows stronger.
Decentralized: Governance over incentives rests with veABX holders, not a centralised treasury.
Ecosystem-Driven: Incentives not only reward LPs but also recycle value back into Abstract public goods.
Flexible: Programs like the Foundation, Ascendance, and Migration ensure Aborean can adapt incentives to match ecosystem needs.
