Governance Tokenomics Problems


Where does the current governance tokenomics structure fall short?

Single Asset staking is an outdated governance tokenomics model that reduces a tokens liquidity, increases token volatility/slippage, Incentivises mercenary capital, and creates fragmented and expensive incentive programs.

Increase Token Liquidity

Due to incentivising single-staked positions and removing a majority of the token supply available for trading, all single-sided staked protocols run into a token liquidity problem. ve8020 will directly deepen your protocol’s native token via the integration of an 8020 pool token for governance.

What are the drawbacks of single-staked tokenomics and reduced token liquidity?

What are the benefits of ve8020 for increasing token liquidity?

Case Study

Unlock highly efficient incentive programs

Unlike a single staking model which requires DAOs to direct incentives at other positions to ensure liquidity is averrable for swaps, a ve8020 model ensures a SINGLE, concentrated source for protocols to direct incentives at. Combined with swap fees, core pools, and BAL liquidity flywheels, this unlocks an extremely efficient incentive program for protocols.

Why is a traditional single staked position inefficient for protocol incentive programs?

What are the benefits of ve8020 in optimising incentive programs?

Offer LPs Asymmetric Upside with minimal IL

Ensure investors still have asymmetric exposure to your underlying native token while harnessing the many benefits of an 80/20 pool.

What are the drawbacks of utilising a traditional 5050 LP for governance tokenomics?

Enter a connected and welcoming ecosystem

By utilising a ve8020 governance position, protocols enter a budding collective of DAOs known as the 8020 Initiative. This collective of notable protocols have helped amplify all new participants entering the ecosystem. Balancer will also provide comms, host twitter spaces, and create in-depth content in relation to your protocol / governance tokenomics.
