Design Specifications for Aquarius Reward Engine V3
Aquarius proposes Reward Engine V3 to address known exploitability issues. Changes include daily payouts instead of hourly, a redesigned SDEX V3 model, and fairer dynamic allocation between AMM and SDEX rewards.
Aquarius's governance proposal for Reward Engine V3 addresses critical exploitability issues where AMM liquidity providers faced disadvantage. The redesign shifts from hourly to daily reward payouts synchronized with a Reward Voting Randomised Day. It introduces a new SDEX V3 model that rewards transactional value through 'Unique SDEX Liquidity' metric and includes validation logic against washtrading. The AMM-vs-SDEX Dynamic Ratio Distribution provides more equitable reward allocation, prioritizing AMM as the foundation while treating SDEX as a secondary incentive layer.
