The token allocations are based on the revenue each market has accrued and the distribution used on the BNB Chain, which has stabilized over time. The following table summarizes the revenue generated by each market:
| Market | Revenue | Proportion |
|---|---|---|
| USDT_Core | $9,400 | 7.8% |
| USDC_Core | $8,500 | 7.0% |
| WETH_LiquidStakedETH | $94,000 | 77.6% |
| WBTC_Core | $9,300 | 7.7% |
Budget:
- Estimated Initial Budget: $40,000
- Initial Boost: $200,000
- Total Estimated Budget for Q1: $240,000
Given that this deployment is the initial phase for Venus Prime on Ethereum Mainnet, it is crucial to offer competitive rewards to attract and incentivize users. An initial boost of $200,000 is necessary to ensure the program’s success by providing substantial rewards that will drive user participation and engagement. This strategic investment will help establish a strong foundation for Venus Prime, facilitating significant growth in supply and borrow activities similar to the results observed on the BNB Chain.
