ArbitrumDAO Launches $40 Million DeFi Renaissance Program with 24M ARB Tokens

ArbitrumDAO has launched the first season of its $40 million DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program (DRIP), allocating up to 24 million ARB tokens to promote decentralized finance on the Arbitrum network.

  • Focus on leveraged looping strategies for yield-bearing ETH and stablecoins
  • Incentives for leading protocols: Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Euler, Dolomite, and Silo
  • Users earn ARB rewards by borrowing against selected collateral types like weETH, wstETH, sUSDC, and syrupUSDC
  • DRIP consists of four seasons with a total budget of 80 million ARB tokens
  • Each season targets specific DeFi use cases to enhance liquidity and protocol innovation
  • Morpho, Euler, and Maple Finance have expanded onto Arbitrum, citing DRIP as a growth catalyst
  • DRIP seasons will run for four to five months, with performance reviewed by a DAO committee

Successful strategies may receive ongoing support, while underperforming ones will be adjusted or discontinued.
