For full details on the ARB++ Vault, please refer to the launch article here: https://medium.com/@D2.Finance/d2-finance-arb-market-launching-on-camelot-b05a36e0665a
The ARB++ vault is designed to emulate the user experience of single-sided staking for ARB, targeting users who are bullish on ARB over the long term, desire lower volatility AND yield on top of their ARB.
For the first epoch, we will be incentivizing the vault with 25k ARB from the STIP program.
Goals:
The primary goal of the ARB++ Vault is to deliver superior performance compared to the average user’s allocation within the Arbitrum ecosystem, doing so on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term. We are dedicated to navigating the complexities of the decentralized finance landscape to maximize risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
Risk Management:
The ARB++ Vault maintains delta exposure ranging from 20% to 60% of ARB. This strategic positioning enables us to average lower downside volatility by efficiently utilizing optionality, thus providing a cushion against market downturns.
Investment Duration:
Investments in the ARB++ Vault are organized around bi-monthly epochs, offering the flexibility to invest in GM and Rodeo strategies, which have entry and exit fees not feasible on a monthly epoch. RODEO++ performed over 100% APY, but we gave up about 20% on fees.
Launch Details & WL
Deposit Cap: 250,000 ARB
Start funding: Tuesday, March 19, 2024 8:00:00 PM UTC
Start trading: Friday, March 22, 2024 8:00:00 AM UTC

Its important to note, funds deposited as ARB incentives (25k from GMX STIP) remain as ARB being utilized strictly for collateral within the ecosystem. Based on a cap of 250k and 25k incentives, this is akin to buying ARB at a 10% discount assuming flat PNL

Special Consideration fpr $plsARB holder: As a special consideration for $plsARB Holders, we’ve airdropped 1 xD2 to the top 420 plsARB airdrop receivers (holding a balance of ARB), enabling them to deposit in ARB++
