Timeline
Rewards will be distributed over a consecutive 12 week period starting on the 18th June and ending on the 17th September.

How can I start earning rewards?
Concentrated Incentives (CI) is an onchain reward mechanism for Liquidity Providers (LPs) in Liquidity Book Pools. CI provides instant, continuous rewards, similar to traditional yield farming but optimized for v2 (Concentrated Liquidity). When you deposit your liquidity, if that liquidity is within the defined ‘reward range’, you start accruing reward tokens immediately. As the price of the tokens in the LB pool moves, the reward range in the LB Pool also adjusts with the price, encouraging you to keep your liquidity within this dynamic range.
