Further Liquidity Mining Adjustments
After a successful vote in IPOR's Economic Working Group on April 25, 2023, the inflation rate was adjusted to 7,560 pwIPOR per day (0.35 tokens per block, per pool).
With the launch of the stETH pool on October 12, 2023, emissions were increased again to 10,800 per day.
Through IIP-13 (opens in new tab), the Economics Workgroup was authorized to make regular adjustments to the amount of total Liquidity Mining pwIPOR emissions and the allocation to individual liquidity pools. The changes were announced in the Discord channel #the-pool (opens in new tab).
Liquidity Mining was discontinued in 2025 according to IIP-35 (opens in new tab).
