Locked tokens in reward zone
Aquarius governance proposal to prevent tokens with locked supply from entering the reward zone and claiming AQUA rewards without community access to the underlying assets.
Aquarius is voting on a governance proposal to prevent tokens with completely locked supply from entering its reward zone. The proposal addresses a perceived vulnerability where token creators can vote their own locked tokens into the rewards zone and claim up to 100% of AQUA rewards (from both AMM and SDEX) without allowing the Aquarius community or public to access, trade, or stake those tokens.
The proposal frames this as both a platform risk and a community harm. Token creators gaining unchecked access to AQUA rewards without corresponding community participation risks enabling AQUA dumps, platform manipulation, and declining community morale. The concern is that unchecked behavior will damage Aquarius's reputation and discourage participation from new investors and community members.
The proposed solution is straightforward: no token may enter the reward zone and receive hourly AQUA rewards if its supply is completely locked from the community and public. Tokens entering the zone must have unlocked, publicly tradable supply, ensuring the community can participate in the same liquidity provision that earns rewards.
