Umami Finance Grant Bi-weekly update

Date: 1/23/2024

  1. Executive Summary: Umami DAO has officially launched the GM vaults on the Arbitrum Mainnet, with an audit report and vault details already submitted for review to the GMX Grants team. The initiative kicks off with seeding the GM Vault ARB emissions pool with 25,000 ARB starting February 1st. As the Total Value Locked (TVL) milestones are reached - 30,000 ARB added after achieving $2 million, and a final 45,000 ARB upon hitting $5 million - the ARB distribution intensifies. This process, which must be completed by February 31st, sets the stage for potentially high Annual Percentage Rates (APR), especially if the $5 million TVL target is swiftly achieved.

  2. Roadmap Progress: Guardian’s audit report is complete and the vaults are launched.

  3. Milestones/KPI Achievements: Launched GM Vaults 1/22/24

  4. Dune Dashboards: Finalizing the dashboard and will be ready for the emissions launch.

II. Current Progress: Launched yesterday on 1/22/24, the product has seen a rapid increase in depositors, boosting the Total Value Locked (TVL) to nearly $300,000, as we aim for the first $2m milestone in February.

Umami Finance Grant Bi-weekly update

Date: 2/7/2024

Executive Summary: It’s officially been 1 week since the launch of our GMX Grant incentives for Umami’s GM Vaults. With 25k ARB allocated initially we saw a steady APR boost giving vaults a 30-50% APR. We are pleased to announce that we have already reached our 1st milestone of $2m TVL and an additional 30k ARB has been released to the team and added to the ARB emissions pool. Currently APR is sitting at 75% and 65% for the GM USDC and GM ETH vaults respectively!

Current Progress Update: Since the launch on 1/22/24, our product has experienced an impressive surge in depositor interest, with an average daily increase in TVL of approximately $140k now reaching $2.4m in TVL. Building on this momentum, we’ve engaged with both grants teams and the community to make a strategic decision: extending the duration of the GMX Grants program until March 15th. This extension provides an opportunity for further TVL growth and enables the release of new vault options. Ultimately, this move supports our ambitious goal of reaching a final milestone TVL target of $5m.

Roadmap Progress: Guardian’s audit report is complete and the vaults are launched. $2m TVL Milestone is achieved.
Milestones/KPI Achievements: $2m TVL

Community Engagement Update: In anticipation of our Feb 1st ARB emission launch, we’ve been actively engaging and educating our community about the program’s structure. Through comprehensive analyses and transparent communication, we’ve ensured that our community members are well-informed about the direct ARB emission schedule. Notably, our efforts have yielded positive results, with Twitter impressions on the rise. A recent hype video garnered nearly 20k impressions, demonstrating growing interest and excitement within our community.

Partnerships and Collaborations: We are actively in talks with all the protocols that have integrated GM tokens like Abra and Dolomite in order to increase the GM vaults versatility. Although these projects are extremely busy we are hopeful that our vault integrations will be implemented in a timely manner.
