The analysis focused on the evaluation of the effectiveness of incentive program by Optimism Collection, which allocated 1 million OP tokens to Yearn Finance. Yearn promised to distribute 100% of grant $OP tokens to yVault depositors to incentivize the move to Optimism. 25,000 OP tokens will be distributed weekly over the course of 40 weeks, starting on May 18th, 2023.

Yearn successfully fulfills the second KPI outlined in the proposal by growing Optimism to Yearn’s second highest TVL by chain, within the span of just one month, highlighting a substantial positive impact of the OP incentive program on Yearn’s user engagement and presence on Optimism network.

The incentive program successfully drew in new liquidity providers and encouraged active participation from existing users, with its TVL on Optimism surged from under $300K to over $14M, contributing to 2.3% of total TVL on Optimism in November. Optimism now became the second largest chain considering Yearn’s TVL by chain.

After the launch of the incentive program we observed that there is a clear increase in both deposit activities, as the deposit transactions grew from nearly 50 to over 3K per week. yvUSDT and yvUSDC now have the largest user deposits of 1.5M yvUSDT and 1.2M yvUSDC respectively.

As of November 19, 2023, Yearn distributed a total of 534,758 yvOP tokens as rewards, with 86% claimed by users already.

Although Yearn has allocated a substantial portion of yvOP rewards to one of the vaults named “yvVelo-alETH-WETH-f,” user claim rate for these yvOP rewards is relatively low at 36%.
