We're returning this week with another update for the ongoing Arbitrum Short Term Incentive Program (STIP). Frax is in the middle of distributing 1.5m ARB over a 3 month period and this article covers every single available opportunity.

What is the Arbitrum STIP?

The STIP is a 3 month incentive program voted on by the Arbitrum DAO to bring renewed interest, attract new users, and build liquidity across all the decentralized apps that call Arbitrum home.

Frax requested 1.5m ARB from a total of 50m to increase liquidity for all of its products and assets. The Arbitrum DAO voted heavily in favor to include Frax in this program.

Best Lending Pool - Vaultcraft FRAX

Vaultcraft is a new protocol that takes FRAX and locks it in Fraxlend for up to 6 months. Frax just launched their new GMX and WBTC pools and the yields are quadruple digits right now. While there is not that much TVL, these pools will be ramping up over the next few weeks. If you are one of the first to deposit, you'll get some high yields until they fill up.
