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.

What Opportunities are there for Frax on Arbitrum?
Flywheel has aggregated all the incentivized pools in a handy spreadsheet. Use it to track APRs, TVL, and find links to all the DApps.

Interesting Weekly Changes
The big winner this week was Ramses, with pools frxETH/WETH, frxETH/rsETH, FRAX/alUSD all growing by 232%, 202%, and 31% respectively in TVL. All three of these pools are ETH denominated and are printing three figures worth of APR.
The core Frax staking pools are also still extremely interesting. Even though STIP is stopping this week, expect decent FXS rewards to take their place. These pools will continue to receive large support after the end of the STIP, especially the FXB pools, which are a high priority for Frax.
Notably, the FRAXBP is great for large TVL deposits, with over $8m in deposits and a 20% unboosted yield.
We also want to highlight the Vaultcraft pools, which have had some of the highest rewards throughout this entire STIP cycle and are still going to be providing liquidity to the Fraxlend pools even after the STIP ends. You can lock up your FRAX for up to 6 months to get rewards.
