Genesis Liquidity Mining Program
Hercules began opening its Genesis Pools on April 1, 2024. Depositors in these Pools linearly earn emissions in xTORCH for about 4 months.
Liquidity mining emissions
Hercules will release 20% of liquidity incentives emissions in TORCH and 80% in xTORCH.
The ratio earned may differ by pool and the exact emissions rate will respond to demand but target the rate in the release schedule graph.
Both native and riskier pools will generally earn a higher percentage of TORCH vs xTORCH.
Partnerships
All partnerships will vest over a 2-year time horizon in xTORCH with a 6-month cliff.
Partnership allocations will go towards protocols that integrate with Hercules.
Most partners will serve as initial launch partners and have their tokens featured in the Genesis Nitro Pools as being part of the Hercules' Olympic Circle.
Olympic Circle
Protocols that join Hercules' Olympic Circle will form the foundation for a long-term relationship, closely aligning our shared vision of growing the Metis ecosystem.
