Summary
This proposal seeks to upgrade Mars Protocol contracts on Neutron from version 2.3.0 to 2.3.1.
The v2.3.1 release introduces:
-
Rewards Distributor Whitelist → ensures only governance-approved addresses can distribute rewards, strengthening security and emissions management.
-
Spot Trading Fees → adjusts configurable fee logic for spot trades, enabling sustainable protocol revenue.
Motivation
While v2.3.0 focused on perps improvements, Duality swapper support, and isolated margin accounts, this upgrade adds two important features:
-
Rewards Distributor Whitelist: prevents unauthorized addresses from distributing rewards, giving governance clear control and protecting users from malicious reward campaigns.
-
Spot Trading Fees: introduces a revenue stream for the protocol while supporting potential discounts for stakers in the future.
These features tighten Mars’ security model and enable more sustainable protocol economics.
Implementation
This proposal intends to deploy the v2.3.1 release on Neutron.
