About the Incentives Communications category

A key change in Season 4 will be Epoch eligibility tied to timely distribution and communication of incentives received via the gauges.

Protocols that fail to maintain eligibility will have their gauge toggled off for upcoming Epochs. Gauges can be turned back on once they provide necessary information for eligibility.

Two Options to maintain eligibility throughout Season 4

  1. (Preferred / Easiest) Register with Merkl on an Epoch basis

Merkl Form: https://tally.so/r/wQ82Zl

  • Protocols fill out the form for the first epoch.
  • Merkl creates the campaigns based on the form.
  • For each new epoch, either update a sheet Merkl sends you or refill the form. If no changes are submitted, Merkl will default to the previous campaign created in the last epoch.
  • After Merkl receives the incentives, protocols have until the following Monday evening to submit their incentives plan for the new epoch. Merkl will create campaigns by Tuesday morning.
  1. Submit custom distribution plans and reports for each epoch on the Mode Governance Forum.
  • Submit an incentive distribution plan prior to, or within 48 hours of receiving your incentive distribution. This can be with services like Fuul or independently.

  • Submit a report or API or data feed for prior Epoch distributions by the beginning of the end of the next Epoch’s voting period. (i.e. Epoch 1 distos need to be reported by end of voting window of Epoch 3, Epoch 2 would need to be reported by end of voting window of Epoch 4, etc.)
