ve(3,3) Innovation
The ve(3,3) Innovation DEX is a decentralized exchange model that combines the concepts of vote-escrowed tokens (veTokens) and the (3,3) game theory model popularized by projects like OlympusDAO. Here's a brief overview of its key components:
Vote-Escrowed Tokens (veTokens): In this model, users lock their governance tokens (e.g., the native token of the DEX) for a specified period to receive veTokens. The amount of veTokens received depends on the length of the lock-up period; longer lock-ups yield more veTokens. These veTokens grant users voting power and influence over the protocol's governance and rewards distribution. Although SailFish being a fork of BladeSwap have optimized the process of getting veTokens, which is by simply swaping SAIL tokens for veSAIL tokens without any locking period or epoch restriction.
Incentives Alignment: The ve(3,3) model is designed to align incentives between different stakeholders, including liquidity providers, traders, and governance participants. By locking tokens, users demonstrate a long-term commitment to the protocol, which helps stabilize the token's value and the platform's overall ecosystem.
Fee Distribution and Rewards: Holders of veTokens typically receive a share of the protocol's fees, which can include trading fees and other sources of revenue. This creates a direct financial incentive for users to lock their tokens and participate in governance.
Game Theory (3,3): The (3,3) model is based on cooperative game theory, where the optimal outcome for participants is achieved through mutual cooperation. In the context of a DEX, this means that users are encouraged to act in ways that benefit the entire ecosystem, such as providing liquidity and participating in governance decisions that enhance the platform's value.
Protocol Governance: veToken holders have a say in important protocol decisions, such as changes to trading fees, liquidity incentives, and other governance proposals. This democratizes the decision-making process and ensures that the community's interests are represented.
Overall, the ve(3,3) Innovation DEX model aims to create a sustainable and community-driven decentralized exchange by leveraging the principles of long-term commitment, incentive alignment, and cooperative game theory.
