Aborean Finance, the liquidity layer of @AbstractChain one of the most untapped ways to make money in crypto is by providing liquidity most people avoid it because: • APRs look smol • they think they need a big bag to start But that changes with ve 3,3 protocols like @AboreanFi (on Abstract) and @VelodromeFi (on Optimism). With the right calculations, strategy and attention, you can make a lot of money much more faster and in this tweet, i'd be making use of @AboreanFi as an example. what is the ve(3,3) model? It's a fusion of two major DeFi ideas: • veTokens (vote-escrowed tokens) → from Curve Finance • (3,3) Game Theory → from OlympusDAO so “ve(3,3)” = vote-escrowed + cooperative game theory the goal is to make liquidity provision sustainable and align incentives among: • liquidity providers (LPs) • protocols / projects • token holders (Governance) the flywheel is simple: liquidity → volume → fees → governance → emissions → liquidity the components a. base token $ABX • the main governance token of the protocol. • you can lock it to get voting power. • it's also emitted every epoch to incentivize LPs (more on this below) b. veToken (vote-escrowed Token) • when you lock the base token (say 1 ABX), you get veABX (vote-escrowed ABX). • the longer you lock, the more voting power you get. • your veABX lets you decide where the next emissions go. voting & emissions each week (or epoch), the protocol emits new ABX. but unlike normal systems, veToken holders decide where those emissions go by voting on specific liquidity pools. example: If 10M ABX is being emitted this week and: • Pool A gets 85% votes → 8.5M ABX • Pool B gets 10% → 1M ABX • Pool C gets 5% → 0.5M ABX so, voters basically controls yield distribution. LPs in those pools earn those emitted tokens as yield. example, if Pool B has a TVL of $100k and gets $1M worth of ABX emitted to the pool. it means for that pool that week, $1 of provided and staked liquidity earns $10 in rewards (10× weekly return) hence, if you provided $10k liquidity -- out of the $100k TVL -- to that pool you'd be getting $100k worth of emissions in ABX that week -- before dilution of course, as others rush in, TVL grows and APR compresses hence dilution but early entrants win big. bribes projects who want liquidity for their token can bribe voters. so veABX holders • get bribes from projects • fees from pools they voted example a $10k bribe on a pool with 1M total votes if you vote 50k veABX, you get 5% ($500). the loop: • veABX holders vote → decide which liquidity pools get ABX emissions. • LPs see which pools have emissions → add liquidity there. • deeper liquidity → tighter spreads + more trades → more fees. • fees → distributed back to veABX voters (and partially to LPs). • bribes → projects add extra incentives to attract votes. cycle repeats every epoch. (3,3) from OlympusDAO’s game theory “(3,3)” means cooperation benefits everyone. if: • LPs provide liquidity, and • ve-holders vote wisely and don’t dump tokens, then all parties win sustainable APR, stable token price, deeper liquidity if everyone defects (dumps tokens, stops voting), emissions become useless why AboreanFi matters @AboreanFi brings the ve(3,3) model to the Abstract chain, turning liquidity into an active governance layer. it’s not just “stake and wait.” it’s “vote, earn, and direct where liquidity goes.” the more you understand how emissions flow, the faster you can position yourself to earn. to learn more :
