Aquarius shares a progress update on their Stellar-based project, highlighting a successful airdrop using claimable balances that reached 272,980 wallets with over 918 million AQUA claimed. They've developed a Rewards Engine and Voting Tool to boost liquidity on the Stellar DEX (SDEX), with testing starting soon and community voting to follow. The protocol will integrate with upcoming AMMs, advancing their roadmap ahead of schedule.
The Aquarius project on Stellar has executed an innovative airdrop using claimable balances, a network first, distributing AQUA to 272,980 wallets with 918,332,136 tokens claimed across 32,000+ wallets by 150,000+ participants. They've open-sourced tools on GitHub for airdrops and snapshots to benefit the ecosystem. Core developments include the Rewards Engine and Voting Tool, enabling community-driven liquidity incentives for SDEX market pairs, with manual rewards launching this month followed by decentralized voting using AQUA stakes as claimable balances. The Voting Tool is nearly complete, integrating with WalletConnect-enabled wallets like LOBSTR, and offers voting rewards. Plans include incorporating Protocol 18 AMMs for broader liquidity rewards. Despite quiet socials, the team has fast-tracked v0.2 of the protocol, advancing the roadmap by a quarter, with website and community channel updates incoming.
