    rIVX is an ERC20 accounting token used for receiving BGT through reward vaults. Once IVX has this BGT, it’ll be used to mint LBGT and be distributed to highest rank traders on the leaderboard. The value capture comes from the IVX leaderboard which will receive rewards.
    It’s main utility is through a reward function which ends up going to users who are active through trading actions on Diem (0dte options).
    The IVX leaderboard contains multiple point based components including:
    Volume traded
    PnL
    Based on the leaderboard ranking - rewards will be distributed to users on a bi-weekly basis
  • Are token contracts upgradable? - Yes
  • Token Control: (Multisig/Single Owner/RBAC/Permissionless/Governance) - Multisig
  • Additional details on Token Control
  • Is the token contract verified? - No
  • Is the token a standard ERC20 or any functions have been customized? (e.g. transfer, balance, mint, burn…) - Standard ERC20
  • Can the token be paused? - Yes

  1. Token / Project Background / Incentive Token Whitelist

Only two tokens can be whitelisted for use as incentives in a Reward Vault. Indicate which tokens will be used and provide all relevant information below.

Required Data for Incentive Token:

  • Name: HONEY + BERA
  • Symbol: HONEY + BERA

Additional Requirements:

  • Specify how many tokens per week you plan to allocate for incentives

Up to 5000 BERA per month. This will be a stepwise approach based on the network activity. HONEY will be flexible based on the month to month fees generated from the trading activities on Diem.

  • Specify for how many weeks you plan to allocate incentives
    Up to 12 months
  • Outline how decisions about token incentives are made (DAO, multi-sig, etc.).
    Multisig
  • Incentive Manager address (this address will manage the incentive token, being able to add incentive tokens to the reward vault and change the incentive rate) - 0xa0eadB5e8758F65FBa176A3731d90543096C4c9e

  1. Growth, Community & Ecosystem Impact

Why This Contract Matters:

  • How will this contract benefit Berachain?
    This incentive programme will attract trading volume, derivative strategies, including trading unique assets with combination strategies as well as incentivising traders to continue to come back to the platforms regularly based on how the points system works. This is going to incentivise volume, and overall network activity on berachain. We believe that this will help IVX grow as we try to become the number 1 option protocol on chain today.
  • One of the aims of this is to use incentives to educate through trading activity and provide opportunities for people to try out options. This will be imperative for the growth of IVX as well as Berachain becoming a hub of on chain options.
  • Will it deepen liquidity for a major ecosystem token (e.g., BERA, core stable asset)?
    No, this is an action based reward vault
  • Does it enable important trading pairs that drive adoption or integrate with other Berachain projects?
    Yes, this will drive significant volume and action around BERA options - of which we are the first place to offer this on mainnet and the first place in all the major on chain and off chain option protocols. IVX currently offers the highest leverage instruments on BERA in the market today.

Potential Volume / TVL:

  • Provide metrics or estimates on liquidity you expect to attract. - We expect this to drive significant volume across IVX. On initial calculations we’re expecting over $10m in volume per month, however, this can be higher based on the leverage used. We’re aiming to become the number 1 option protocol based on these metrics.
  • Highlight any known liquidity commitments. (If you or partners plan to seed the contract, provide proof of funds or a statement of intent.) Nil

Synergies with Other Protocols:

  • Will this contract feed into any yield aggregators, lending markets, or liquid staking derivatives on Berachain?
    IVX is integrated in many other protocols including D2 finance, Dirac finance and we’re looking to integrate with abstraction based protocols.

Marketing / Promotion:

  • Are there plans to co-market with another project to bootstrap liquidity?

Since we will be working closely with Berapaw on this reward vault via LBGT minting, there will be strong cross protocol marketing to help push both protocols.

No liquidity requirements but with IVX there will be lots of marketing activities in the form of education, spaces, videos, tutorials, threads, traders backed incentives and through community boosting. We will continue to bring value to the ecosystem through things such as the IVX weekly vol trading show.

Long-Term Vision:

  • How could this reward vault evolve over time? (E.g., eventually becoming a core liquidity pair or a major stable pool for the chain.)

The reward vault can change over time especially with the direction of incentives and how BGT is used. We will iterate this over time as we experiment with the optimal ways to grow trading based incentives, whilst ensuring a fair and equal opportunity for everyone involved.

Dont see any comms on rlIVX publicly, can you link it so i can learn more?

I use IVX daily and fully agree that it has a very high chance grow into the number 1 option protocol on chain. A reward vault for the leaderboard makes perfect sense as it helps IVX volume and is low risk for Berachain as gaming the leaderboard is not really possible cause volume AND profit determine leaderboard rank. The insane high leverage they offer for $BERA adds utility and their product might even onboard option traders and leverage hungry degens from other chains

Bob originally commented on the initial design with our first proposal here - https://x.com/0xBobdbldr/status/1905227380962079128

In this new design we’re aligning the value to BERA/BGT by not using oIVX/IVX anymore and using BGT wrappers instead with Berapaw’s LBGT. We then distribute this to the leaderboard winners.

Hi team, at the time of submission, the following concerns were identified:

  • The staking token is not verified on Berascan or Beratrail. Please ensure that verification is completed in accordance with guidelines before we can proceed with whitelisting.

Please note that the following feedback doesn’t represent the opinions of the BGT Foundation. It is contextual feedback from the Bera ecosystem team with respect to publicly stated guidelines.

With the following changes implemented, this application should be a better candidate for a Reward Vault.
