XIP4 Reward Allocation Proposal;
This proposal is for the allocation of XBE rewards to the Hive during the first week of launch.
ELI5
With the redeployment of contracts and configurations being done, it is vital to discuss the amount of XBE rewards being allocated to each Hive vault during the first week. We will be launching with both the FRAX pool and the cvxCRV pool and although the multitude of audits and tests that have already been done, we will also have ImmuneFi onboard for a bug bounty program during launch. This will be considered an “Emission test week” which will allow us to test the reward allocation of both the Hive deposits and the XB referral system. It is proposed to allocate a smaller amount of emissions during this week, which we can then ramp up for the weeks following that.
XBE reward allocation;
The way the mechanics of XBE are designed allow for rewards to be called on a weekly basis, going from Monday to Monday. With this in mind, it means that a vote for emissions will take place throughout this week and will result in XBE Hive emissions starting on Monday the 7th.
With the redeployments of the contracts after Peckshield’s amazing work, the team would still like to take extra precautions and in doing so, are setting up an ImmuneFi bug bounty that will run in parallel to the launch of the Hive. Not only will this provide a slight form of marketing with more eyes on the protocol and code, but it will also provide a level of comfort with regards to protocol security, on top of the already 3 passed audits.

Considering this initial week of launch, it would be advisable that we do not allocate a substantial amount of rewards to the Hive vaults. This allows us to gain greater knowledge of security via the bug bounty, it allows us to ramp up the rewards for the weeks following this, and more importantly – it allows us to test rewards from both Hive deposits and referral rewards. It is imperative that we test the Hive to ensure that it is working efficiently in preparation for the ramp up of rewards. This process allows us to test with smaller amounts which will then drastically increase in the hope to attract a greater amount of liquidity, and in turn protocol revenue.
It is also advisable that we aim to attract deep protocol liquidity during this period which means allocating a substantial amount of rewards to the XBE/ETH Sushiswap LP.
With the above mentioned, I propose the following allocations for the first ‘test’ week of the XBE Hive launch;
Option 1) Allocate 0% of the weekly emissions to the Hive vaults
- 0% to the FRAX pool & 0% to the cvxCRV pool
- 75% to the XBE/ETH LP
- 25% to XBE staking
Option 2) Allocate 5% of the weekly emissions to the Hive vaults
- 2.5% to the FRAX pool & 2.5% to the cvxCRV pool
- 70% to the XBE/ETH LP
- 25% to XBE staking
Option 3) Allocate 10% of the weekly emissions to the Hive vaults
- 5% to the FRAX pool & 5% to the cvxCRV pool
- 65% to the XBE/ETH LP
- 25% to XBE staking
Thereafter the first week, we will have another vote for the allocation of rewards. Discussions for this will be done during the DAO weekly hangout as well as the Official telegram channel!
Voting will start Monday 28th at 6pm UTC
Voting will finish Wednesday 2nd at 6pm UTC
Hive rewards start Monday the 7th
