Campaign Introduction

We are thrilled to announce an exciting collaborative campaign hosted by Aspida and dForce on Arbitrum! This campaign is scheduled to kick off on February 1, 2024 for a duration of 38 days. During this period, participants are invited to forge saETH asset by depositing ETH or wstETH through the Aspida-dForce LSD Vault on Arbitrum.

One standout feature of this campaign is its remarkable flexibility. There’s no minimum deposit requirement.

As a gesture of gratitude for all participation, we are pleased to offer great rewards. Participants will have the opportunity to earn $ARB and Shield points.

During Lockup period, those who deposited ETH and wstETH in the Vault, will be able to claim respective saETH at system exchange rate (set at the time of lockup), after lockup expires (for about 10 days), users will be able to claim saETH.

Aspida extends a warm invitation to all participants to seize this unique opportunity. We are excited to welcome you to this campaign and hope to provide an engaging experience for everyone involved!

Campaign Incentives

All participants with wstETH deposited will receive dual incentives in the form of both $ARB and Shields: for every $ARB earned, they will also receive 200 Shields.

Please note that the ETH Pool only provides Shield incentives and does not offer $ARB incentives.

Distribution of $ARB Incentives

• The initial allocation is 16,000 $ARB tokens in the first week (Feb 1st — Feb 8th 2024), and the incentive amounts will be regularly reviewed and updated on a weekly basis.
• 60% of incentives will be allocated to the Free Staking Phase (equivalent to 9,600 $ARB);
• The remaining 40% (equivalent to 6400 $ARB) will be accumulated in the Bonus Pool for distribution according to the rules during the Lockup Phase.

Distribution of Shields Incentives

• wstETH Pool: A total of 3,200,000 Shield will be allocated as incentives for the first week, distributed at a rate of 1 $ARB token to 200 Shield across different activity phases.
• ETH Pool: User Shields Rewards = (User ETH Staked/Total ETH Staked) * Distribution Rate
• The amount of Shields received per second will be based on the users’ staked ETH.
• The Shield reward is calculated by their share of funds (the percentage of a user’s staked amount vs total staked) multiplied by the distribution rate (shields allocated per second).The distribution rate per second is determined based on the total number of shields allocated weekly.
