Market Reward Allocations

Rewards are allocated to eligible markets in two different methods:
  1. Static allocations
  2. Static allocations with a dynamic component

Static Market Reward Allocations (Preallocations)

12.5% of INJ rewards will be preallocated to each of the BTC/USDT PERP market, ETH/USDT PERP market, and INJ/USDT PERP market. 1% will be preallocated to each remaining eligible market as a minimum allocation:
MarketTotal Allocation
BTC/USDT Perp12.5%
ETH/USDT Perp12.5%
INJ/USDT Perp12.5%
Other Eligible Markets1% each + formula based allocation, with reward cap based on formula (see table below)
Static allocations may change over time as more markets are added to the eligible list

Dynamic Market Reward Allocations

The remaining rewards will be allocated to the eligible markets (excluding BTC/ETH/INJ Perps) based on the following equation: RewardsMarketi=TARPreallocationMarketi+TAR(1PreallocationTotal)MM(LSMM, Marketi)0.7VolumeMM, MarketiMarketMM(LSMM, Market)0.7VolumeMM, MarketRewards_{Market_i} = TAR * Preallocation_{Market_i} + TAR * (1- Preallocation_{Total}) *\newline \frac {\sum\limits_{MM} (LS_{MM,\ Market_i})^{0.7} * Volume_{MM,\ Market_i}} {\sum\limits_{Market}\sum\limits_{MM} (LS_{MM,\ Market})^{0.7}*Volume_{MM,\ Market}} wherePreallocationTotal=0.125+0.125+0.125+Other Preallocations\text{where} \quad Preallocation_{Total} = 0.125+0.125+0.125+Other\ Preallocations andTAR=Total Available Rewards\text{and} \quad TAR = Total\ Available\ Rewards
Other PreallocationsOther\ Preallocations refers to the static market reward allocations for non-BTC, ETH, and INJ perp markets.For more information on TARTAR each epoch, see the Reward Pool page.
For each eligible market, the product of the MM1’s LS0.7LS^{0.7} and VolumeVolume is aggregated across all MMs. Rewards are allocated to each market based on the proportional aggregate products across all applicable markets. The preallocation amount (1%) for the market is also added in.

Markets Added Partway Through an Epoch

For markets added to the eligible list midway through an epoch, the 1% preallocation will be prorated. For example, if ARB/USDT is added on the 15th day of the epoch, then the market will receive a 0.5% preallocation (there are 14 days left out of 28. If there are 17 days left, then the market will receive 17280.01\frac {17}{28} * 0.01).

Market Allocation Cap

For each market that has dynamic reward allocations, a hard cap will be applied according to the following formula, where nn is the number of eligible markets excluding BTC, ETH, and INJ perps: Rewardsmax=TAR  10.375n2Rewards_{max} = TAR\ *\ \frac{1 - 0.375}{n}*2 Any reward allocations that exceed the cap will be redistributed amongst the other eligible markets according to the dynamic allocation formula.
# Eligible Markets Excluding BTC/ETH/INJ PerpsRewards Cap
620.83% of Total Available Rewards
717.86% of Total Available Rewards
815.63% of Total Available Rewards
913.89% of Total Available Rewards
1012.50% of Total Available Rewards
1111.36% of Total Available Rewards
1210.42% of Total Available Rewards

Market Maker Reward Allocations

Rewards to individual MMs2 will be allocated based on the following equation: RewardsMMi=Market(RewardsMarketTSMMi, MarketMMTSMM, Market)Rewards_{MM_i} = \sum_{Market}\left(Rewards_{Market} * \frac {TS_{MM_i, \ Market}} {\sum_{MM} TS_{MM,\ Market}} \right) Each MM3 will receive rewards based on the MM4’s proportional TSTS within the market, subject to governance approval.
Rewards for addresses totaling < 1 INJ at the end of each epoch will be disregarded to reduce the overhead of the disbursement process.
