Measurement / Reward elasticity

Rented liquidity,
measured directly.

How much of a pool's liquidity is only there for the subsidy, estimated from how deposits actually behaved the last time the reward rate moved.

Every feature derives from public state. No licensed or privileged data.

What TVL cannot tell you.

Two pools report the same number. One grew on its own, the other is renting every dollar of it. Nothing an on-chain consumer reads separates them.

01

A campaign expiry date is public, but a date is not a durability estimate.

02

Capital enters faster than it leaves, so one elasticity figure is the wrong number.

03

New pools have no post-campaign history, which is the one feature that would settle it outright.

How this works

Emission rates change discretely and observably. Every rate change is a dated natural experiment in how much of the deposit base is actually attached to the subsidy.

Rate change detected, re-estimating

01

Finds the rate changes

Every emission step, decay point, and campaign boundary is a dated, public observation.

02

Controls for the market

Aggregate stablecoin supply, chain TVL, and realised volatility are controlled for, so the estimate is pool-specific rather than beta to the broader market.

03

Separates up from down

Only the downward coefficient enters the hazard. Ignoring that asymmetry systematically overstates outflow speed, which is the failure mode most likely to make an oracle loudly and repeatedly alarmist.

The scoring model is publishable and copyable, but the accuracy record is not. A competitor who reimplements the ensemble from this paper starts with an identical model and a calibration history of zero.
