Since our mainnet launch on Sept 13th, Rumpel has experienced strong growth, now supporting 31 strategies, six point token markets, and $50m+ of Protocol Size.

Recently, Rumpel has seen budding interest for Straw, our native point, contributing to its expansion. With Chapter 1 concluded, we’re excited to announce Chapter 2 of Rumpel’s Straw Program to reward and encourage early usage.

Similar to Chapter 1, Chapter 2 is designed to be transparent, drive growth, and reward early users. It inherits the same mechanisms and is not fungible with Chapter 1 points.

Chapter 2 points began accruing on Dec 1st.

Continuous Rewards

The majority of Chapter 2 straw will be distributed through Continuous Emissions, rewarding users a certain amount of straw per $, per day, and per strategy. Distributions occur once a day.

Strategies

1. Earning Points through Rumpel - Earn external points and be awarded straw per $ of principal deployed through Rumpel. Point earners can tokenize and sell external points without losing access to earning daily straw.

2. Provide liquidity on Uniswap v3 - Provide single-sided or dual asset liquidity to the designated 1% fee Point Token market on Uniswap v3. Entire range orders are eligible for daily straw, so long as their edges are within +- 10% of the 24-hour point token price range.

Chapter 2’s reward schedule prioritizes LPs in the early months to encourage liquidity catchup to Rumpel’s existing deposit TVL. The straw daily accrual rate will decay over time until Mar 1st, rewarding users more for participating earlier.

Boosts on Continuous Rewards

Users can earn boosts on continuous rewards for various behaviors across Chapter 2.

There are three public boosts in Chapter 2: Protocol Size boost, New Market boost, and Referral Boost.

Protocol Size Boost

With the Protocol Size Boost, users are rewarded for depositing early & helping grow TVL & liquidity. All straw earners get a boost multiplier as a function of protocol growth.

Protocol size is composed of Deposit TVL, Univ3 liquidity eligible for straw, and in-wallet point token market cap.

The boost continuously ranges between 1x-3x, ensuring users never earn less than their base continuous rewards. For example: if Rumpel grows 3x since a user’s first deposit in Dec, then they’re earning: 3 x 9 = 21 points per $ per day.

A user’s average starting protocol size, the one used to measure their “entry”, will carry over from Chapter 1. E.g. if a user entered at $10m of Protocol Size in Chapter 1 and the current protocol size is $40m during Chapter 2, then their deposit accrues at a 3x boost (cap).

New Market Boost

To invite liquidity during the early stages of market development, eligible LPs will earn a 2x boost on continuous rewards for two weeks after new point token markets are deployed.

Referral Boost

Users can accumulate straw through referrals. Any user who refers a friend will receive 10% of straw their referral accrues through the duration of Chapter 2.

Discrete rewards

Chapter 2 includes one discrete reward to boost usage within the Rumpel ecosystem. Rumpel may add another type of discrete reward as unique growth opportunities arise, but it will have minimal impact on the total straw supply.

Veteran reward

Rumpel is most valuable to those who have experienced the pain point of illiquid incentives.

So, as a token of appreciation, we’re awarding another 100,000 straw (almost two weeks’ worth of depositor rewards) to each address that:

1. Earns some amount of Straw in Chapter 2

2. Has interacted with the following secondary marketplaces with over $1000 worth of value as of Sept 10th, 2024: KelpDAO’s $KEP Market, Whales Market for Points, and Point markets on Pendle Finance.

Veteran rewards will be retroactively distributed at the end of Chapter 2.

FAQs

1. Do I need to stake my UniV3 LP NFT with Rumpel?

   1. No, you do not need to stake your UniV3 LP NFT. Our Straw accrual system automatically picks up range orders whose edges are within +-10% of the pToken’s 24-hour price range.

2. Where can I see my Rumpel Straw balance?

   1. At the top of the Rumpel UI

3. What jurisdictions are restricted from participating in the Straw program?

   1. United States, or any restricted jurisdiction or country subject to any sanctions or restrictions pursuant to any applicable law, including the Crimea region, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, or any other country to which the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union or any other jurisdiction embargoes goods or imposes similar sanctions, or any jurisdictions in which the transacting cryptocurrencies is prohibited or restricted in any form or manner.

4. When can I begin seeing my straw?

   1. Oftentimes, it takes over 24 hours to see your Straw on the Rumpel UI, but for some strategies, such as Fluid Looping, it can take up to 48 hours.

5. How does Straw accrual technically work? How often and on what values does Straw accrue?

   1. Straw accrues once a day. The Straw calculations take into account your lowest balance over the last 24 hours, so once a position is deposited, it can take up to 24 hours before it starts accruing straw. This also goes for when a position is adjusted (increased/decreased).

   2. When a user enters a position, the entry Protocol Size is set. If a user updates a position, a weighted entry Protocol Size is created, based on the original entry Protocol Size * original principal, and the new entry Protocol Size * new principal.

6. What happens to my Entry Protocol Size if I withdraw temporarily?

   1. If you need to withdraw, you won’t lose any straw you’ve earned. However, it will reset your entry Protocol Size for the Protocol Size Boost multiplier. You earn straw based on your lowest balance of the day. So the day you withdraw fully, you’ll not earn points. And then you’ll earn straw again when your position has been in the protocol for a full ~24-48 hours.

7. Can I sell my Point Tokens and still earn straw?

   1. Yes. For the Depositor Farm, straw accrues to one’s principal that’s earning external points.

8. Will there be a point token market for Rumpel Straw?

   1. No, there’s too much legal/regulatory uncertainty for Rumpel Labs to launch its point token market.

9. What happens if my Straw stops accruing?

   1. Open up a ticket on our discord, and we’ll give it a look!
