The platform will stop letting users create campaigns, while claim and reimburse rewards until the end of the year.
If you’ve participated in any Metrom campaign, please check the Claim section for any unclaimed rewards.
We have decided to shut down Metrom.
We noticed that DeFi incentives were largely being run through traditional liquidity mining, a spray-and-pray model where rewards were distributed without much control over what they were actually driving. This often meant inefficient spend, mercenary capital, and incentives without a clear goal.
We wanted to make incentive distribution more efficient by tying rewards to KPIs like TVL, volume, and time-based goals, giving teams more control over their budgets and the outcomes they were targeting.
Over the past 2 years, we put a lot of effort into making this work in practice. We helped teams reduce wasted incentive spend, structure rewards around specific goals, and use incentives to reach and maintain meaningful TVL targets.
It’s a hard but meaningful problem, and we’ve been actively pushing it across DeFi. Metrom went live across 12+ networks and facilitated distritbution of over $1.5M in incentives
We learned a lot along the way about incentives, liquidity, protocols, and building in crypto. A big thank you to everyone who trusted us, worked with us, gave us feedback, or simply followed along.
Metrom is shutting down, but the people behind it aren’t going anywhere.
On to the next chapter.
memes on @inkonchain got an incentive engine 🐙
@officialinko launched $INKO campaigns on @metromxyz
1/ HOLD $INKO → ~12% APR🚴
2/ LP INKO/USDT0 on @VelodromeFi →
KPI: more TVL, more rewards (Earn up to 14.55% as the TVL grows)
whales + shrimp welcome 🐋🦐

HOLD token campaigns are now LIVE on @metromxyz
Sometimes you just want to reward conviction. HOLD token campaigns let you reward wallets that hold your token.
How it works:
→ Pick the chain, token & duration
→ Add your reward tokens + amount
→ Approve & launch
Non-custodial by design as holders keep tokens in their own wallets.
NO staking or LPing required to qualify.
Spin up a HOLD token campaign in a few clicks 💎🙌

Protocols don't need us to launch incentives. they just… do it.
@0xDEADBOX Deaderal Reserve, a 0%-interest, ETH & LST-backed lending protocol, just permissionlessly spun up KPI based campaigns on @metromxyz
Live now 👇

We are working on making incentive distribution more efficient through KPI-based mechanisms tying rewards to metrics like TVL, volume, or time-based goals, enabling teams a better control over distribution and a clearer expected value on their budgets.
example: If a pools' target is $1M TVL with 1k reward and if it reaches only 400K TVL, then only 40% of the rewards are distributed.
other incentive strategies / setups where you can
- incentivize in traditional model (high APR first and it goes down as TVL increases)
- stop incentives under a certain TVL
- incentivize a specific range (perfect for stable pools)
- incentivize based on specific TVL KPIs being met
- increase APR as TVL increases (removes dilution of yield for LPs)

2/ KPI-driven rewards
Reward only when your targets (like TVL milestones) are achieved; save on emissions and boost efficiency.
Unlike traditional incentive mechanics where emissions quickly dry up as the TVL increases, w/ Metrom its different.
Rewards scale with TVL 🎯
First ever KPI based campaign for @hyperion_xyz USD1/USDC pool on @aptos is about to wrap up.
> KPIs are working,
> Rewards are flowing,
> Defi is winning
https://t.co/ln9H8mpYuT
Metrom now supports Hyperion
@hyperion_xyz is Aptos' unified liquidity and trading layer, combining swap aggregation, CLMM, and vault strategies into one on-chain experience.
Protocols on Hyperion can now launch KPI-based incentive campaigns.
$431,000+ worth of $APT distributed to LPs in 5 months.
@Aave on @Aptos has been one of the most consistent incentive programs in DeFi, and Metrom has distributed their incentives since day one.
Rewards claimable via Aave, Merit, or Metrom.
LP Now: https://t.co/qDJTOcFHrj
Important:
For eligibility, we look at your Net-Supply, not just supply.
Net-Supply = Supplied assets minus borrowed USDT + USDC
Campaigns have a minimum payout threshold. It acts as a boosted reward mechanism where LPs are guaranteed to receive % of the total reward pool, regardless of whether they achieve TVL KPI metrics.
Most protocols pay for liquidity whether it arrives or not.
KPI based campaigns only distribute rewards as per the collective TVL achieved in the pool.
→ Spend stays low.
→ TVL grows.
→ No rewards dilution for LPs.
→ Unspent reward tokens come back to treasury.
USD1 incentives now live through @metromxyz
The difference: TVL-based rewards designed to incentivize deeper liquidity on Hyperion
How it works:
• Provide liquidity to the USD1–USDC pool on Hyperion
• Earn rewards based on your TVL contribution
• Direct distribution, no staking required
⏳ Campaign runs until April 10, 17:00 UTC
More efficient. More sustainable

We've completed our audit with @sherlockdefi 🔍
Metrom was selected for @OptimismGov Season 8 OP Audit Grants applied with Sherlock.
And the results are finally out 🛡️
Sherlock's security experts reviewed our core contracts covering campaign creation, reward distribution, fee collection, and points campaign logic.
Security always comes first as we scale across more chains and DeFi primitives.
