Networks can offer incentives in their native token. When depositing incentives, you must specify:
Total Reward Amount (Deposit) – The total tokens added to the reward pool.
Distribution Duration – How long the rewards will be distributed (in days).
veNFT Deposit Cap (Pool Cap) – The maximum number of locked tokens (veTokens) allowed in the pool. A higher cap means more tokens can earn rewards, which may dilute per-token rewards unless you increase the total deposit.
Networks can continually refine their incentives strategy via the management dashboard. Here, you can modify:
Deposit (total incentives)
Pool Cap (maximum veTokens)
Distribution Duration
Changing these values impacts weekly rewards, distribution timing, and how many tokens can participate. Below are the key metrics to watch when adjusting your incentive parameters:
Deposit The extra tokens added to the reward pool. Boosts the total incentives available to distribute.
Pool Cap The maximum number of veTokens allowed in the pool. A higher cap admits more participants but can lower rewards per token unless the deposit increases accordingly.
Duration The planned length of the distribution period (in days). Adjusting it changes how quickly rewards are dispersed.
Advanced Incentives stats are displayed on the management dashboard. These metrics help networks fine-tune their rewards strategy by balancing total incentives, maximum pool size, and reward duration to best meet your network’s goals.
Calculated Distribution End The end time for the incentive distribution, based on the current reward rate, pool cap, and token supply. If actual locked tokens are below the cap, the distribution may last longer but yield lower weekly rewards.
Max Weekly Incentives The maximum tokens that can be distributed per week if the pool cap is fully reached.
Weekly Incentives Per Locked Token The rewards allocated each week per locked token, reflecting the “voting power” of veTokens on Amplify.
Weekly Incentives The actual weekly payout across the ecosystem, determined by the current veToken supply and the maximum weekly incentives.
When a network deposits tokens for incentives, the total deposit is spread out over the planned distribution period. Here’s how it works:
Lowering the weekly reward rate may qualify investors for early unlocks. Check early unlock conditions .
