Since their inception, Money Markets have improved dramatically, and with Unitus they will reach a new standard of accessibility, efficiency and liquidity.

The $ARS Token: Powering Aquarius’ Decentralized Future

To better align our interests with those of our users, foster the decentralization of Aquarius Loan, and ensure the protocol’s success across the multiple chains we intend to deploy to, Aquarius is excited to introduce the $ARS token. The $ARS token serves three primary functions:

Reward Emission Catalyst: $ARS will play a central role in the emission of rewards, enabling ARS-ETH Liquidity Providers to boost their rewards emissions.

Interest Alignment and Bootstrap: $ARS will serve as a tool to align interests with our users and bootstrap of Aquarius. We will soon unveil a multi-chain liquidity mining campaign, powered by $ARS, designed to facilitate our ecosystem’s expansion.

Governance Participation: $ARS holders will have the opportunity to actively engage in the decision-making processes of the protocol through our governance, ensuring that the community’s voice is heard.

The $ARS token represents our commitment to creating a more inclusive, decentralized, and rewarding ecosystem for our users.
