With the first batch of ARB tokens hitting the Thales Treasury, ARB rewards will start bringing Holiday Joy to all Thales Arbitrum users starting from December 27th! πŸŽ„πŸŽ

All Thales Products on Arbitrum will have their own individual reward buckets: Thales Sports Markets, Thales Digital Options and Thales Speed Markets. The rewards will be distributed on a biweekly basis with biweekly pro rata calculations.

The plan is to have a total of 7 reward rounds. The exact amount of rewards per each biweekly round can be changed to be in line with new updates and releases of the Thales Protocol products.

The second batch of rewards will be distributed pro-rata based on cumulative user activity calculated in a span of two weeks β€” from January 10th 08:00 UTC to January 24th 08:00 UTC.

You will be able to track your rewards on this dedicated Dune dashboard.

Below you can find a detailed breakdown of reward buckets and amounts.

AMM Liquidity Providing Loss Rebates

Loss Rebates ARB rewards are reserved to be distributed to AMM Liquidity Providers in case of a negative PnL week. Rewards are meant to be equal to 90% of dollar value of potential losses incurred from AMM Liquidity Providing across ThalesAMM, SportsAMM and ParlayAMM.

The first biweekly round of ARB rewards will reserve a hard cap of 10,000 ARB tokens for Loss Rebates equal to 90% of dollar value of potential losses incurred from AMM Liquidity Providing.

Any AMM LP losses incurred within these two rounds will be eligible for ARB rewards from this round.

In case the 90% of dollar value of Liquidity Providing losses for the mentioned two weeks is greater than the dollar value of 10,000 ARB on day of rewards snapshot,, the 10,000 ARB will be split pro rata between all LPs that incurred losses based on their comparison to global PnL losses of their respective pool.
