[MRC-24] Extend Red Bank Deposit Rewards

Summary

The objective of this proposal is to obtain the necessary funds from the community pool to adjust and extend the current Red Bank deposit incentives for 3 additional months. The current deposit incentives will end in 10 days. Given the protocol is still in its bootstrapping phase, we think it makes sense to extend them. However, as a number of leveraged yield farming vaults have already launched (which generate organic borrow demand in the Red Bank), we think it makes sense to gradually start reducing them, starting with this proposal.

Specification

This proposal aims to reduce rewards as follows:

  • OSMO: From 750k to 250k per month
  • ATOM: From 200k to 100k per month
  • axlUSDC: From 50k to 30k per month (keep in mind that there’s currently a proposal to double the cap for axlUSDC, so in relation to the cap the rewards are reduced further)

Given the rewards will be effective for 3 months, the total amount of funds required from the community pool is 1,140,000 MARS.

Extend rewards and reduce rewards means opposite things. Maybe I am reading it wrong.

Basically extend the time period of rewards and reduce the amount of rewards.
