Adding certain percentage of bribe to XLM/AQUA pair to weed out fake projects
Aquarius proposes allocating a percentage of liquidity-mining bribes to the XLM/AQUA pair instead of 100% to the bribed pair. The mechanism aims to deter fake projects exploiting AQUA rewards while strengthening Aquarius itself. Suggested starting point: 10% redirect.
Aquarius governance faces a challenge: liquidity providers using AQUA bribes to bootstrap pools for assets they own can effectively recycle their own rewards without building community value. A new proposal addresses this by redirecting a portion of all bribes to the XLM/AQUA pair, creating a cost barrier that deters low-commitment projects. The proposal suggests starting at 10%, which would see a project bribing 1M AQUA allocate 900k to its target pair and 100k to strengthen the core. The approach aims to improve liquidity depth for Aquarius while raising the bar for legitimate use.
