Case study on Arbitrum’s DRIP program, broken down in sharp detail by @YashasEdu This is how you spotlight growth-phase alpha I’ve been tracking @arbitrum DRIP since launch and the shift from discovery → performance phase is exactly what makes it hit different for me > $1.42M ARB in rewards → $344M+ in borrowed value is ~242x capital efficiency > MVP projects: @aave , @MorphoLabs, @0xfluid, @eulerfinance, @SiloFinance are showing that productive markets > TVL farming With the budget locked till Jan 2026, I expect lending wars to heat up even more Protocols that optimize for RWA and stablecoin efficiency will take the lead I see a clear cohort of protocols leading Arbitrum’s narrative This is alpha that every L2 should study if they’re serious about ecosystem growth

So @arbitrum' DRIP program is showing results🔥 DRIP (DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program) launched to boost lending activity on Arbitrum is working. > Total borrowed value increased by $340M+ since the program started > ~$1.42M USD equivalent in ARB rewards distributed through Epoch 2 > Currently in Epoch 3 adding with another ~$1.42M USD (1.2M ARB) How is arbitrum doing atm? 1. Arbitrum TVL is sitting at $4.06B (+16% month-over-month, +~$600M) 2. Has a lending market of $1.9B, RWA market of $1B+ 3. TVS crossed $20.31B 4. Stablecoin mcap of $10B+ Which are the top 5 protocols that are actually winning on Arbitrum in the lending space? 1. @aave > Was temporarily paused in Epoch 2 due to high ETH borrowing costs 2. @MorphoLabs > +$272M (+696%) to reach $311M market size > Driven by USDC & thBILL deposits > Now a leader in RWA-backed lending 3. @0xfluid > +$128M (+63%) to $332M > Driven by syrupUSDC deposits & USDC/USDT loans 4. @eulerfinance > +$167M (+186.8%) to hit $177M ATH > Growth from PT tokens (PT-USDai, PT-sUSDai, PT-thBILL) > Most loans in USDC 5. @SiloFinance > +$105M (+187.3%) to reach $100-105M range > USDC (+130% to $30.1M), PT-sUSDai, rsETH (+78%), WETH (+660% to $25.9M) > Borrowed value up 223% to $42M DRIP, started with discovery phase (Epochs 1-2) where it was basically testing of which protocols & assets respond best to incentives. Now in performance phase (Epoch 3+) where rewards scale with efficiency & market performance (Better performing markets get larger reward shares) > Discovery phase used ~1.62M ARB of the initial projection > Significant budget remaining for performance phase through January 2026 Most DeFi incentive programs attract temporary liquidity that leaves when rewards stop. DRIP focused on productive borrowing activity,. $344.56M borrowed value increase from ~$1.42M in distributed incentives shows ~242x capital efficiency ratio. The shift to performance phase creates competition among protocols to maximize efficiency & not just chase rewards which is healthy imo. h/t to @EntropyAdvisors, who maintains public Dune dashboards tracking all metrics as it makes easy to verify everything onchain.
