# Sonic Incentives on CrossCurve MetaLayer

## Introduction

**CrossCurve** is launching **Sonic** with an updated pool architecture built on the principle of isolated connections: each network connects to a universal asset within Sonic.

For example, the **sxEthereum** pool with the universal token **xfrxUSD** and the s-token с **sUSDC\_arb**

This not only enhances the system's resilience but also opens direct access to all key drop programs of the **Sonic** ecosystem.

{% hint style="success" %}
*Now, every **CrossCurve** user can earn three types of rewards just by interacting with the app.*
{% endhint %}

Currently, **Sonic** incentives are provided for all paired pools on **Sonic** and for the **3UNIT0** pool.

## Season 1

### Sonic Points — Rewards for Users

This is the core drop mechanism from **Sonic**, focused on end users. Points are awarded for holding whitelisted assets and come in two types: passive (for storing assets in a wallet) and active (for using assets in third-party apps, such as **CrossCurve**), which earn double the passive rate.

Thus, farming **Sonic Points** through **CrossCurve** is twice as profitable!

The following assets offer different boosts:

* **scUSD** — **6x**
* **scETH**, **scBTC** — **4x**

At the end of the drop, **Sonic Points** will be converted into NFT-safes, from which $**S** tokens will gradually unlock. All information is displayed in the dashboard: [my.soniclabs.com/points](https://my.soniclabs.com/points)

{% hint style="info" %}
*For **CrossCurve** users, this means simply providing liquidity to **CrossCurve** pools — points are credited automatically, and they will enter the main phase of $**S** distribution.*
{% endhint %}

### Sonic Gems (cmGEMS1) — Rewards for Applications

This is a separate program for protocols and the second part of the **Sonic** drop. During the first season, **1 680 000 Gems** will be distributed. **262 500** have already been pre-allocated to the winners of **Sonic Boom**. **CrossCurve**, as one of the winners in the **Sapphire tier**, has already received **8750 Gems**.\
\
The remaining **1 417 500 Gems** will be distributed based on user activity and multipliers. For **CrossCurve** as a bridge, a **5x** multiplier applies.

> *We’ve decided to tokenize these as **cmGEMS1** and allocate **100%** of these tokens as rewards to **liquidity providers** in the project’s pools.*

#### What is required from CrossCurve users?  - Provide liquidity to the project’s isolated Sonic pools on Sonic - Rewards will be distributed through Merkl and will account for your veEYWA boost, if you have one. This can boost your yield up to 2.5x. The instructions to this particular step can be found [here](https://docs.crosscurve.fi/earn-with-crosscurve/providing-liquidity-to-crosscurve-pools). 

But perhaps the main advantage of **cmGEMS1**, unlike **Points**, is that they can be directly exchanged for $**S**.

### Rings Points — Points from Token Issuer on Sonic

**Rings Protocol** is the issuer of the stablecoins **scUSD**, **scETH** and **scBTC**, which are present in the **Sonic** pools on **CrossCurve**. The protocol has its own drop program — **Rings Points**, which are awarded automatically, similar to **Sonic**’s own.

\
Like **Gems**, **Rings Points** can be directly exchanged for $**S** at the end of the season.

## Season 2

### Sonic Points — Rewards for Users

This is the core drop mechanism from Sonic, focused on end users. Points are awarded for locking [whitelisted assets](https://docs.soniclabs.com/funding/sonic-airdrop/sonic-points#whitelisted-assets) in  **CrossCurve** pools.

The following assets offer different [boosts](https://docs.soniclabs.com/funding/sonic-airdrop/sonic-points#loyalty-multiplier):

* scUSD — 6x
* scETH, scBTC — 4x

All information is displayed in the dashboard:[ ](https://my.soniclabs.com/points)[my.soniclabs.com/points](http://my.soniclabs.com/points)

{% hint style="info" %}
*For **CrossCurve** users, this means simply providing liquidity to **CrossCurve** pools — points are credited automatically, and they will enter the second phase of $**S** distribution.*
{% endhint %}

## Conclusion

\
**CrossCurve**’s transition to **Sonic** is not just an upgrade, but a real expansion of economic opportunities for our liquidity providers.\
With the new pool architecture, almost every provider can receive triple incentive accrual - not counting **CrossCurve**’s own rewards.

{% hint style="success" %}
***Sonic incentives** apply to all paired pools in the **Sonic network**, as well as the **UNIT0** pool.*
