Overview

Vesta’s VST Integration Program is an initiative in place to better incentivize strategic partners who integrate VST into their ecosystem and promote more interest in VST. Strategic partners can participate in the program and get VSTA incentives for integrating VST. The incentive reward will be paid in VSTA, Vesta’s governance token. The reward is strictly intended to be used toward product usage incentivization.

Key 80-20 Benefits

• Create a long-term sink for governance tokens that is hard to unwind, taking coins off the market as ve8020 models incentivize long-term staking with decaying governance power
• Simultaneously create deep liquidity pools for said governance token where LPs take less IL and have their LP generally track the price of the underlying as the pool is split 8020
• Obtain BAL incentives from the aforementioned program at a large scale (can be upwards of $1m worth of BAL)

Integration Examples

• DeFi (e.g. perpetual trading, options etc.) protocols adding VST as a base token
• Treasury using VST as store of value
• Centralized exchange adding VST as a quote asset in trading pairs
• Reward protocol adding VST as a collateral token
• NFT marketplace adding VST as a denomination token
• GameFi protocols adding VST as a marketplace trading token
• Synthetic protocols adding VST as part of basket collateral to mint synthetic assets
• Lending protocols adding VST as a collateral

Token Allocation

Upon the program passing and the completion of the integration, the VSTA will be given in the form of escrowed VSTA which vests over 1-2 year depending on the use case. The reward is strictly intended to be used toward product usage incentivization. Individual protocols can be allocated for up to 500k VSTA. The specific amount will be proposed by the core team and eventually by Vesta governance.

Termination

In the event of breach of contract, Vesta reserves the right to pause vesting. In the event of termination, any unvested tokens will be returned to Vesta’s treasury. This condition is put in place to ensure that the allocation of tokens is being used effectively to promote growth and value for both organizations. Example termination requirement includes:

• Breach of initial arrangement - the partner protocol fails to upholds initial promise, such as removing VST as part of the product offering.
• Lack of development - the partner protocol fails to continue developing on the project
• Wrongful use of capital - the partner protocol fails to direct the token toward incentivization and uses it for non-project-related purpose
