Fluid Protocol Grant Bi-Weekly Update (7th Edition)

I. Executive Summary:

a) Roadmap Progress

February, and particularly the last two weeks for Fluid have been Great!

With over $116 million in volume and a growth rate of 522.5% in just four weeks, Fluid is on an upward trajectory. Our ongoing 5th contest has already seen significant participation, with a prize pool of $35,000 and over 8.5 million in total volume.

Our consistent drive for improvement and frequent bot updates are making trading more seamless for our users and our relentless focus on fixing bugs and improving user experience is evident in our recent updates.

The completion of a comprehensive Smart Contract Audit by D3ploy has bolstered our platform’s security, providing peace of mind to our community. We’re also thrilled about our integration with LayerZero Labs, opening doors to omnichain applications and enhanced liquidity for our users. As we continue to innovate and expand, we’re committed to transparency and building strong connections within our community.

III. Community Engagement

4th Contest Concluded during February:

  • Completed our 4th Community Contest for $25,000 prize pool, and rebates on keeper fees.
  • Total trades of 868
  • Total volume of $68,731,257.71
  • Prizes have been distributed to the winners!

5th Contest has begun:

Community Outreach:

  • Held a Podcast on X.com where we discussed February’s key achievements, updates to our products, and provided future plants. We are continuing the trend to provide as much transparency and building strong connections with our community wherever possible.

Announced upcoming Referral Contest

  • The Referral Contest offers a unique approach to earning points based on trading volume. Participants earn points from both their referrals’ trading volume and their own, albeit at a slightly lower rate. To qualify, each referral must achieve at least $1000 in trading volume. For example, if you refer two users who collectively trade $2 million and you personally trade $200,000, you would earn 400 points from referrals (2 million * 2 users / 10,000) and 20 points from your own trading volume ($200,000 / 10,000), totaling 420 points.
