Ignite Ends Liquidity Incentives Program: Details

The DeFi project Ignite announced the premature end of its liquidity incentive program, citing changes in strategic priorities and current market conditions.

Reasons for Program Termination

The steering committee of the DeFi project outlined three main reasons for the initiative's end:

1. Focus on Elastic Chain. The team intends to concentrate resources on implementing the Elastic Chain protocol. Ignite has provided Era with liquidity to operate as a DeFi hub following the launch of its interoperability mechanism. Additional investment in a program focused on a single network is no longer aligned with this broad objective.

2. Interoperability Timing. Seamless internal interoperability in Elastic Chain is a priority, but the technology needed for this is taking longer to implement. Adding more TVL now will result in a lower return on cost.

3. Market Realities. The team recognized the onset of a bear market and decided to adopt a more conservative approach to costs in the short and medium term.

History and Achievements

Under the Ignite program, the distribution of 300 million ZK to stimulate liquidity was planned. The program began in January and successfully continued for two months. In 2021 and 2022, the ZKsync project raised 450 million dollars in investment.

Impact and Future Plans

In September 2024, the CEO of Matter Labs, the company behind the protocol, Alex Gluchowski announced a 16% staff reduction. In June, the project conducted an airdrop of 3.6 million ZK tokens. After the large-scale distribution, the key indicators significantly decreased.

The termination of the Ignite program is linked to strategic priority shifts and changing market conditions, underscoring the need to revisit project development approaches.
