NEW HORIZONS

Aquarius adds liquidity management layer to Stellar and powers new generation of
DeFi projects.

Get AQUA tokens
Supported by:

What is Aquarius?
Aquarius is designed to supercharge trading on Stellar, bring more liquidity and
give control over how it is distributed across various market pairs. It adds
incentives for SDEX traders ("market maker rewards") and rewards for AMM
liquidity providers. Aquarius allows community to set rewards for selected
markets through on-chain voting.
What is AQUA token?
AQUA is the currency for rewards and on-chain voting in Aquarius. AQUA holders
can vote for market pairs that need more liquidity and select trusted assets.
Traders and LPs earn AQUA on selected market pairs. AQUA will play an important
role in projects built on Stellar. Majority of AQUA tokens will be distributed
to network participants and market makers. Contact email for institutional
investors - tokens@aqua.network.
Incentives for liquidity providers
The core use case of the AQUA token is to increase liquidity on Stellar. This
will be achieved by incentivizing market makers on SDEX and AMM LPs.
Governance for token holders
Token holders will vote for market pairs requiring liquidity to allocate
rewards. AQUA is also an utility token to govern the Aquarius protocol through
on-chain DAO voting.
Ecosystem benefits
AQUA tokens will be integrated in other projects built on Stellar and may
provide holders with additional benefits within the Stellar ecosystem.
ICE tokens
Freeze your AQUA to ICE tokens securely on the Stellar network with our AQUA
locker tool. ICE tokens bring a whole new dimension to Aquarius, creating a way
for AQUA holders to increase rewards earned from SDEX market making and AMM
liquidity provision and boost voting flexibility & power.

Roadmap

Q4 - 2020

Idea and discussion
Aquarius began its evolution in the end of 2020 while exploring ideas to
increase volume on SDEX. A series of internal discussions within our team, as
well as exchanging feedback with many experts in the space, helped us shape the
core ideas around the project.
Q2 - 2021

Start of development
We have started formalizing the protocol and building the infrastructure for
Aquarius. This consists of multiple elements of software such as on-chain asset
voting protocol, user interfaces for voting, liquidity reward distribution
engine, AQUA snapshot and airdrop2 module.
Q3 - 2021

Aquarius v0.1: MVP
Launch of liquidity rewards for market makers - core functionality of Aquarius.
This will inspire more trading activity on the Stellar. AQUA will reward both
DEX traders and AMM LPs. The start of the wide distribution of AQUA tokens to
Stellar network participants.
Q4 - 2021

Aquarius v0.2: Voting
This set of updates allowed AQUA holders to control how Aquarius works.
Governance creates a way for holders to decide which direction to take Aquarius
with governance proposals, and the ability to vote for markets they wish to see
receive liquidity rewards was enabled.
Q1 - 2022

Airdrop 2 & locker tool
Airdrop 2 saw 15 billion AQUA split amongst those who held over 500 XLM + 1 AQUA
at the time of the snapshot, with eligible users able to claim rewards monthly
until Feb 2025. The introduction of the locker tool allowed the ability for
users to boost their airdrop rewards.
Q2 - 2022

Aquarius v0.3: Bribes & gov v2
Bribes introduce a way for users to advertise their assets & markets to the
Aquarius community by allowing incentives to be placed on markets, encouraging
users to vote for specific markets. Governance v2 also launched, bringing a new
discussion phase and fee structure.
Q3 - 2022

Aquarius v0.4: ICE
ICE brings a new dynamic to Aquarius! The airdrop 2 locker tool got upgraded,
allowing users to freeze their AQUA into 4 ICE tokens. Each ICE token has its
benefits, including allowing users to vote for liquidity rewards & governance
simultaneously and boosting their SDEX & AMM rewards.
Q4 - 2022

Smart contract research
Stellar’s smart contracts are close on the horizon. We have already started
researching how Soroban will function, and in 2023 we will be focusing on
discovering how smart contracts can benefit the Aquarius ecosystem.
Q1 - 2023

Aquarius Account Dashboard
A major upgrade for aqua.network! Users will be able to access all aspects of
their interactions with Aquarius, with all votes, rewards earned, and other
stats available in one simple dashboard interface.
Q2 - 2023

Aquarius v0.5: Upgrading AQUA Rewards
This upgrade intends to balance the distribution of daily liquidity rewards on a
market-by-market basis. Markets that mainly see SDEX volume will see increased
SDEX rewards, whereas markets that rely on AMMs will see higher AMM rewards.
Q3 - 2023

SCF 15 - Soroban & Aquarius
Using funding via the Stellar Community Fund, we are building new systems for
Aquarius using Soroban smart contracts. First will be Aquarius AMMs, introducing
new AMM types to Stellar in 2023.
Q1 - 2024

Launch of Aquarius AMMs
Now Soroban smart contracts have launched on Stellar, Aquarius AMMs are expected
to launch Q1 2024.
Q2 - 2024

Decentralization of reward engines
Continued exploration of Soroban smart contracts will see a more decentralized
Aquarius emerge. We plan to move the rewards engines over to Soroban, allowing
hourly AQUA rewards to distribute via smart contracts.
Q4 - 2024

Improvements to AMMs and engines
As Soroban continues to mature, we will improve upon our AMMs and reward
distribution engines. New features can also be explored, and further movements
toward a fully operational DAO can be achieved.
