Proposal: AQUA Pool Intelligence Score (APIS)
Aquarius introduces APIS, a composite transparency score (0-100) for liquidity pools combining trading volume, pool imbalance, whale concentration, and incentive sustainability. The UI feature helps users evaluate pool quality beyond APR alone, with no changes to rewards or protocol mechanics.
Aquarius governance proposes APIS (AQUA Pool Intelligence Score), a composite UI metric designed to help users evaluate pool quality beyond APR. The 0-100 score combines five factors: 30-day trading volume-to-TVL ratio, pool imbalance percentage, top-5 LP concentration, incentive sustainability duration, and estimated real yield after impermanent loss. Color-coded status badges (green 85+, yellow 50-84, red <50) will surface on pool pages and a 'Top 10 APIS Recommended Pools' section highlights transparent, sustainable pools. The feature uses existing on-chain and indexer data, ships in two phases starting with the top 30 pools, and requires no changes to AQUA's reward emissions, governance, or core protocol mechanics. The proposal aims to protect users from APR-trap pools with hidden whale concentration or unsustainable incentive spikes.
