Hivemapper Proposes Liquidity Vault to Enhance On-Chain Liquidity
On-chain liquidity is essential for the effective trading of tokens on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). The recent launch of the Hivemapper Network has led to the organic formation of on-chain liquidity around its token, HONEY. This proposal aims to allocate up to 750,000 HONEY as a promotional incentive for a user-friendly “liquidity vault” that would enhance on-chain liquidity. By increasing liquidity, the Hivemapper Network can reduce price volatility and foster greater confidence in the HONEY economy, ultimately supporting its overall health and efficiency.
The mechanics of DEX trading rely on liquidity pools created by individual users who contribute tokens to facilitate trades. Currently, HONEY has around $450,000 in on-chain liquidity, primarily on Solana’s Orca DEX. In contrast, other decentralized physical infrastructure tokens on Solana boast over $3 million in liquidity, highlighting the need for HONEY to bolster its liquidity to avoid excessive volatility and inefficiencies in the market. Liquidity providers earn fees based on their contributions, but they also face risks such as impermanent loss, which can deter participation. To counteract this, some projects offer incentives comparable to staking yields to encourage liquidity provision.
The proposed liquidity vault will be an experimental program lasting a minimum of three months, with rewards for liquidity providers varying based on their contributions. If approved, the vault is expected to launch in November, in collaboration with partners from the Solana ecosystem. Educational sessions will be held to inform community members about the benefits and risks of participating in the liquidity vault. The Hivemapper community is invited to engage in discussions and provide feedback on this proposal to ensure the network continues to evolve effectively toward its goal of creating the world’s freshest map.
