This is a concern for large depositors who wish to exit INF in size. Additionally, If INF is to become the liquidity nexus of Solana for all LSTs, it will require a deep pool of SOL native liquidity. We therefore wish to grow SOL native liquidity by incentivising INF-SOL Kamino vaults. + +Why Kamino vaults? More than 95% of existing xSOL-SOL liquidity on AMMs comes from Kamino managed vaults which suggests that users arenโ€™t keen to provide liquidity unless their positions are managed by a third-party, and automatically rebalanced. See for example this Orca jitoSOL-SOL liquidity diagram: + + +![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/sanctum/original/1X/082472042ec958dcd4e39e75bf7b1e4bd06a092c.png) + +The INF-SOL Kamino vault strategy has been a great place to park your INF. In fact, the INF-SOL vault has outperformed a 100% INF HODL strategy, most likely because of the very high capital velocity (high trading volume relative to TVL). + + +![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/sanctum/original/1X/85049c0b689f68c42d0e1da43c3c1ddb60946bc4.png) + +Source: Kamino INF-SOL vault [(Kamino | Solana Concentrated Liquidity Layer)](https://app.kamino.finance/liquidity/Eud3oi6ibDdYyE5UoeaSWH3vttsuSU4ikHc5oY2E9831) + +The industry standard is to offer LPs a 15% combined (fees + incentives combined) annual yield. To incentivise initial liquidity even more, we propose to offer LPs a 20% yield for the first month, then dropping to 15% henceforth. Depending on TVL increase/decrease and price of CLOUD, the Kamino team will be in charge of guaranteeing a 15% APY on up to $2.5M TVL, or until 2.5M CLOUD is exhausted, whichever comes first. +Assuming the $2.5M TVL cap is reached, incentives should last 6 months at least. + +## Raw Data + +- Proposal account: `6mc1Fp6ds8XKA2jMzBDDhVwvY6ZCGg6SNqvHy4E6LS7Q` +- Proposal number: 4 +- DAO account: `5n61x4BeVvvRMcYBMaorhu1MaZDViYw6HghE8gwLCvPR` +- Proposer: `proPaC9tVZEsmgDtNhx15e7nSpoojtPD3H9h4GqSqB2` +- Autocrat version: 0.3 +- Completed: 2025-03-08 +- Ended: 2025-03-08
