What are the advantages of protocol level bribes?

• Inclusivity - Reduced complexity to implement bribes! Aquarius provides all the resources to select and deploy bribes to markets. Any project can now offer bribes by spending less than 5 minutes.

• No extra coding - There is no need to build complex vote tracking and distribution logic into projects. Bribes can be created directly from the Aquarius interface without coding at all.

• Open participation - Anyone can get involved. Projects and users can quickly and effectively deploy bribes in a few simple steps using the permissionless, automated process.

• Guarantees for voters - Using Aquarius bribes guarantees distribution to users. Currently, projects can promise bribes but later stop or reduce them, meaning voters might lock AQUA for prolonged periods but end up with lowered or no rewards.

• Transparency and visibility - Aquarius Bribes will be visible to users on vote.aqua.network, making it easy to compare all bribe offerings, including the details on bribe amounts and their schedule.

• Flexibility - Any Stellar asset can be used as a bribe. Projects could use their token to provide bribes or use popular assets such as XLM or USDC. Even a mixture of tokens can be used as there is no limit to the number of tokens that can get assigned per market.
