Incentives Impact
Total Value Locked (TVL) We've seen a remarkable 71.1% increase in average daily TVL since the program's start. This substantial growth demonstrates the effectiveness of our incentives in attracting liquidity.

User Engagement Prior to the incentives program, we averaged 13 unique users per day. Since the program's start, this has grown to an average of 16 unique users daily, representing a 23.1% increase. This growth in our user base is a strong indicator of the program's success in attracting and retaining traders and liquidity providers.
Ethereum Metrics
Market Recognition and Composability
Our efforts in enhancing liquidity and providing competitive pricing are gaining recognition in the broader DeFi ecosystem. A notable mention came from Phil Liao (@philipliao_) on August 11th, highlighting a large trade on Matcha that utilized multiple AMMs, including Integral, to deliver elite pricing. This showcases the power of composability in DeFi and Integral's role in providing deep liquidity and competitive quotes.
Integral's Position in the DEX Landscape
The provided image illustrates Integral's position among other major DEXs for a $2.08M trade on Ethereum. While Uniswap V2 and V3 account for a decent portion of the liquidity, Integral is visibly present, contributing to the overall liquidity pool for this large trade. This visual representation underscores our growing importance in the DEX ecosystem, particularly for substantial trades where deep liquidity is crucial.
Conclusion
The August review reveals strong performance across our key metrics, with our passive concentrated liquidity model delivering impressive APRs. The Arbitrum incentives program has significantly boosted our TVL and transaction volume, setting a solid foundation for future growth.
Moving forward, we'll focus on:
Attracting new users to capitalize on our high APRs and deep liquidity
Expanding our integrations with other DeFi protocols to enhance our visibility and utilization
Continuing to provide elite pricing and deep liquidity for large trades, cementing our position as a go-to DEX for significant transactions
