Standard (External) Rewards
In Bancor version 3, rewards can be distributed to a liquidity pool in any token using the Standard Rewards contract. For example, a project could distribute its earnings to token holders by creating a rewards program that distributes USDC.
This mechanism also enables rewards to be distributed in 2 different tokens at the same time, referred to as Dual Liquidity Mining.
Standard Rewards will be used to distribute BNT rewards in the Bancor V3 bootstrapping campaign.
Rewards earned from a Standard Rewards program do not automatically compound, as they are a different token than the one provided - they must be claimed.
Standard Rewards vs Auto Compounding Rewards
Standard Rewards differ from Auto Compounding Rewards in the following ways:
Reward token
Any token (deposited or non-deposited)
Deposited token only (i.e. for a DAI deposit, rewards can only be in the DAI token)
Requires manual opt-in
Yes - users must manually:
1. Join the rewards program using a join
transaction (stake bnTokens)
2. Claim rewards using claim
orstake
transaction
3. Exit the program using leave
to return their bnTokens
No - users receive the rewards automatically by holding bnTokens
