Following the recent launch of the THRUST and HYPER tokens on Blast, we’re excited to announce that we are supporting their respective vote incentive markets on Hidden Hand.
Teams can now use vote incentives to influence gauge rewards, boosting their pools and deepening liquidity on Thruster. Users can now begin to earn rewards in exchange for their votes.
Get Started
For veTHRUST Holders
Holders of veTHRUST can use Hidden Hand by reviewing the Thruster market during each voting epoch, finding the best reward opportunities (e.g., $ per 10k votes), and manually selecting their preferred gauge. Once the voting round completes and rewards are distributed, they will receive their vote incentives.
For vlHYPER Holders
Holders of vlHYPER can earn rewards by either manually voting (as described above) or by delegating their votes to Hidden Hand. Delegating is a hands-off approach, where Hidden Hand automatically finds the best voting opportunities to maximize rewards. After each voting epoch, users can track their rewards directly through the Hidden Hand UI.
Learn more about delegation here.
For Teams
For teams looking to add incentives to their gauge(s), head to either the Thruster or Hyperlock market page, find your gauge, and click Add Incentive.
From there, you’ll be prompted to choose the incentive token and specify the total reward amount. For more advanced strategies like "limit" or "range" incentives, refer to the Hidden Hand docs.
Note: If you need your token added as a reward token on Hidden Hand, reach out to us directly or through the Thruster/Hyper teams.
Coming Soon: Points Vote Incentives
Points have played a vital role in bootstrapping the Blast ecosystem. With many protocols still pre-token and running points programs, and with the ongoing Blast Points and Blast Gold programs, we’re committed to providing teams with the tools they need to bootstrap liquidity and incentivize participation on Thruster and Hyperlock.
In the near future, we’ll be launching a new Hidden Hand primitive that allows teams to incentives gauges with points. Stay tuned for more details in a future announcement.
