This post explores how to design an incentives program for Lido. Concretely, it focuses on a liquidity mining program to increase trading volumes of Lido’s liquid tokens, stETH and wstETH. We start by providing an overview of Lido. Then we discuss previous attempts at liquidity mining programs. And finally, we explore a framework to test and deploy such a program for Lido.
