Season 9 – Grants Council#

The Grants Council looks for projects that grow Superchain adoption by increasing DEX liquidity in priority pairs and the fees generated from trading those pairs.

Our Objective#

Projects must target one of the following metrics:

DEX TVL in Priority Pairs (Liquidity)#

• Why it matters: Deep liquidity in priority pairs reduces slippage, improves execution, and unlocks more onchain activity across the Superchain.
• Formula: ΔPairTVL = AvgPairTVL_end − AvgPairTVL_start

DEX Fees in Priority Pairs#

• Why it matters: Fees measure real trading demand and willingness to pay to use Superchain venues for swaps.
• Formula: ΔPairFees = PairFees_end − PairFees_start

Examples of eligible projects:

• Incentive programs that increase and retain liquidity in priority pairs
• Vaults, strategies, or automation that improve depth for priority pairs (example: concentrated liquidity management)
• Routing, aggregation, or UX that increases volume and fees in priority-pair pools
• Integrations that move existing liquidity into eligible priority pools and keep it there
• Tooling that tracks, monitors, or improves priority-pair TVL and fee performance
