Our expanded integration with Idle Finance is live and can be accessed through the <a href="https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/fixed">Sense Portal</a>.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Sl2U8SCScVGkf0okEsGL1Q.png"></figure>Sense has teamed up with Idle Finance to launch a Rolling Liquidity Vault for their <a href="https://app.idle.finance/#/earn/best-yield/0xdc7777c771a6e4b3a82830781bdde4dbc78f320e">Junior USDC Best Yield Strategy</a>.
Sense users can now earn fixed rates and trade future yield atop the Junior USDC Best Yield Strategy, and USDC holders can earn extra yield by providing <a href="https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/pool">their liquidity</a> to the Space Pool on Sense and earning trading fees. Currently, the yield for an LP is 8%.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*LhTWnWjHHyTw4AsZOpsF6w.png"></figure>Idle’s Junior USDC Best Yield strategy gets improved yield versus by automatically moving between different Idle USDC Junior Tranches based on what is providing the most attractive yield.
If you want higher yields, this series could be a fit for you.
<h3>Incentives for early Space LPs</h3>
Finally, we’re excited to announce an incentive program with Idle DAO. A total of 1,000 $IDLE will be distributed as rewards to eligible Space Pool LPs.
To be eligible, and LP must be one of the first 10 LPs to deposit over $10,000 and must remain in the pool for at least 30 days.
Eligible deposits in the next 7 days will be rewarded proportional to the amount of liquidity provided. LPs will be rewarded on a first come, first serve basis.
Provide liquidity: <a href="https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/pool">https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/pool</a>

Trade future yields: <a href="https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/rates">https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/rates</a>
<h3>Rapid integration with 4626 vaults</h3>
The Junior Tranche Euler USDC strategy was onboarded through Sense’s new ERC4626 adapter factory, which can onboard any compliant asset with a single on-chain function call. No longer do integrations require custom adapters and long development lifecycles. Creating fixed-rate markets on Sense is as easy as instantiating a new AMM pool on Uniswap.
With the help of a soon-to-be-launched UI, any protocol team &amp; DAO will be free to onboard their yield-bearing assets on Sense. If you are interested in enabling fixed rates in your ecosystem, please join our discord and reach out to us!
This integration is another step toward the future Sense is building: our vision is to create decentralized, transparent, fair factories for yield curves and other yield primitives on-chain along with fully decentralized markets for yield discovery.

Idle Finance’s USDC Junior Best Yield Strategy is Live on Sense

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*hSeYmyrpac_zoslTP77Ghg.png"></figure>Today Sense takes a leap toward completing our mission of creating <a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/building-for-a-permissionless-future-f59d4709b2a5">permissionless fixed-rate infrastructure</a>. Anyone can now onboard new assets and launch new series through the Sense Portal using the public beta of our Adapter UI!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*6LUAHcKetccohI__aTnMeg.png"></figure>With the new Sense Adapter UI, users can roll matured series or permissionlessly create new fixed-rate series at a maturity of their choosing.
To deploy a new series, all they need to do is click the “Deploy New Adapter” button and fill out the form. If you’re unsure where to find the correct factory address, come ask us in the <a href="https://discord.com/invite/krVGnQgSzG">discord</a>.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*2I5sxJ6vzH2mPMDRDh9MZg.png"></figure>By rolling a series or launching their own, users become a <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/series-lifecycle-detail/">series sponsor, which gives them a privileged window after maturity to roll the series, reclaim your stake, and collect any issuance fees the adapter has earned</a> before anyone else can.
The new adapter UI doesn’t just empower users to create or roll new series for existing Sense supported assets: users can onboard any variable-yielding asset from a protocol or standard for which Sense has created an adapter factory.
The following adapter factories are live on mainnet:
<ul>
<li>Compound v2 factory: this enables series for all cTokens</li>
<li>ERC-4626 factory: this enables series for all <a href="https://developers.morpho.xyz/interact-with-morpho/erc-4626-vaults">maTokens</a>, all of angle’s SLPs, Idle’s junior tranches, and any other token that conforms to ERC-4626 standard.</li>
</ul>
More factories will be coming out over time.
To onboard a new asset to Sense, all you need is the address of the yield-bearing token and the address of the relevant Adapter Factory. Just after launch, new tokens may be restricted by whitelisting, but you can request that the team whitelist any unwhitelisted tokens in the <a href="https://discord.com/invite/krVGnQgSzG">discord</a>.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*JLGANV8BMjgs3zb56zwyOw.png"></figure>Once you’ve deployed the adapter, you’ll see it appear below and can “roll” the first series.
Have another asset you want to onboard that isn’t covered by an existing factory? Reach out to us in the <a href="https://discord.com/invite/krVGnQgSzG">discord</a>.
This permissionless Adapter UI is another step toward the future Sense is building: our vision is to create decentralized, transparent, fair factories for yield curves and other yield primitives on-chain, along with fully decentralized markets for yield discovery.

Permissionless Adapter UI Public Beta Is Live on Sense

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jDNCp7AUN1_2617_zSgFRA.png"></figure>The first Angle asset to be integrated are Angle Frax LP Tokens (sanFRAX_EUR). The fixed rate series is a quarterly <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/rolling-liquidity-vaults/">rolling liquidity vault</a>. This means there will always be an end-of-quarter maturity each quarter, and liquidity providers can provide passive liquidity to the fixed rate market that will automatically roll into each new quarterly series.
The integration with Angle Protocol is now live and can be accessed through the <a href="https://app.sense.finance/eth-mainnet/fixed">Sense Portal</a>.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_diTe4q5KS1df_IpJ2GRUA.png"></figure>Sense users can now earn fixed rates and trade future yields for Angle Frax LP positions, and Angle Frax LPs can now rehypothecate those LP tokens as liquidity in the <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/space-pool-performance/">Sense Space Pool</a> to earn fees on top of their yield.
Any $ANGLE rewards are distributed to Sense YT holders, since they are the beneficiaries of both the Angle Frax LP yield and those token incentives.

Angle Protocol Integration is Now Live on Sense

A note from our founders, <a href="https://twitter.com/KentonPrescott">@kentonprescott</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/jparklev">@jparklev</a>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Ase9EoKMnvFkR2t4hKKW7Q.png"></figure>It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone, but what a year it has been for Sense! We made tremendous progress last year building out the foundation for the Sense ecosystem, and we’ve already hit the ground running on an even more ambitious year.
Below, we reflect on 2022 and share a sneak peek at what we’re prioritizing in 2023.
<h3>Reflection on 2022</h3>
The year of launching &amp; learning
Despite the challenges that crypto faced, with the collapse of FTX, TerraLuna, and 3AC, DeFi stood its ground and continued to operate unscathed. Sense was no exception, and this stability allowed us to continue building towards the vision of <a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/building-for-a-permissionless-future-f59d4709b2a5">permissionless infrastructure for fixed income</a>.
First and foremost, we’re immensely proud of the Sense core team in successfully launching Sense Protocol. Some of us helped launch Maker’s <a href="https://blog.makerdao.com/multi-collateral-dai-is-live/">Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD)</a>, but it was no match against the highly ambitious Sense launch, which included the Core, AMM, and (now deprecated) Fuse borrowing/lending pool. Thankfully, the team’s attention to detail and hunger for excellence filled any gaps in our experience.
After three weeks of last-mile adjustments, private mainnet deployments, and 14 hr+ days, <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1507010402260901906">we launched the Sense Protocol</a> on March 24th and <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1515045403711971332">hit our guarded launch cap in 22 days!</a>
What an achievement! Shortly after our joyous hoorays, the team jumped back into post-launch ops, tackling bugs, educating the community, and responding to a wave of questions. It was a thrill, and something not easily replicable (outside of mainnet launches, of course).
With the protocol humming along in production, we began our efforts to scale Sense. Throughout the year, we:
Delivered key infrastructure innovations that enabled:
<ul>
<li>Higher fixed rates ← <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1526165739866038274">Capital efficient YT swaps</a>
</li>
<li>Rapid onboarding of assets ← <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1551509619167600640">ERC4626 adapter factory</a>
</li>
<li>Passive Liquidity ← <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1598369557785284623">Rolling Liquidity Vaults</a>
</li>
</ul>
Partnered with some of the fastest-growing DeFi protocols, such as:
<ul>
<li>Morpho Labs to <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1569695129384124416">onboard their Morpho-Aave tokens</a>
</li>
<li>FiatDAO to onboard Sense’s PTs for <a href="https://twitter.com/KentonPrescott/status/1588203728645005312">levered fixed rates</a>
</li>
<li>Idle Finance to onboard their <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1603799562539483142">high-yielding stETH junior tranche</a>,</li>
</ul>
Consistently improved the Portal &amp; launched products, giving users visibility into:
<ul>
<li>Before/after effects of their transaction ← <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1562081723977981954">Transaction Review</a>
</li>
<li>Yield curves created by Sense ← <a href="https://www.web3yieldcurve.com/">Web3 Yield Curve Dashboard</a>
</li>
<li>Sense Protocol analytics ← <a href="https://dune.com/aby/sense-v1">Sense dune dashboard</a>,</li>
</ul>
Paid out sizable bounties and praised whitehats who reported the:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/disclosure-fixing-a-critical-bug-in-the-sense-space-oracle-42a0bed65bc2">Sense Space oracle bug</a></li>
<li><a href="https://discord.com/channels/790088877381517322/862911625349562408/972160700082421760">Post-maturity airdrop dilution bug</a></li>

<a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/post-mortem-stale-steth-price-feed-in-a7-c70d648bef89">Stale stETH price feed</a>,</li>
</ul>
And launched numerous community efforts, such as:
<ul>
<li>Contests (<a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1545043707182866433">SenseShift</a>, header design, <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1492204120194777088">sticker contest</a>)</li>
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1587095753780039686">Engagement roles</a></li>
</ul>
Moreover, 2022 is when Sense hired its first <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1521172025892433921">Head of Growth (aka Mister)</a> and first <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1559914559435165697">Community Manager (aka David)</a>. At 7 full-time contributors, we’re a small team with big ambitions, so their inclusion helped push many releases past the finish line in stride!
<h3>Metrics</h3>
We launched Sense into the bear market, knowing that DeFi usage was dropping across the board. Numerous protocols, stuffed with hopium-inflated token incentives, saw a precipitous drop in TVL and fundamental metrics. Despite that, Sense’s TVL &amp; volume metrics have steadily grown in ETH terms and have yet to reach their inflection points in 2023.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*kmPixfABCWITODYmy9YFUA.png"><figcaption>From the Sense Dune Dashboard: <a href="https://dune.com/aby/sense-v1">https://dune.com/aby/sense-v1</a></figcaption></figure>As a project without token incentives, we’re relentlessly focused on building products that users want, not vehicles for free money.
It’s the only path where we can gather feedback on key value mechanisms and <a href="https://twitter.com/KentonPrescott/status/1577317869586591744?s=20&amp;t=4eRtAhKvu4k78FaKEOieHw">iterate toward PMF with high conviction</a>. Hence our strategy is to build products with high stickiness, even at the expense of rapid growth.
<h3>A look into 2023</h3>
The year of scaling and innovating
Looking ahead to 2023, we have a number of exciting initiatives in the works. We’ll continue to innovate in the contract layer and solve hardcore engineering problems for the fixed-income space. However, this year, we’re following a more user-centric design process that’ll help us find &amp; keep PMF, indefinitely.
Below are our priorities:
<ol>
<li>
Go hands off — Sense-v1 was designed to be fully permissionless, guarded only by a simple flag in the Sense Core. With our 4626 Adapter factory and our soon-to-be-launched adapter/series management UI, the DeFi community will have what it needs to fully leverage the utility of on-demand fixed income. More details to follow.</li>
<li>
Product UI/UX redesign — Sense needs to be 10x simpler for casual savers who don’t care about protocol mechanics and 10x more informative for professional yield traders who need the right information in the right presentation to make the best possible trade.</li>
<li>
Handle size — to serve large capital allocators, we’re investing heavily in R&amp;D to improve price execution for markets atop Sense-v1 (cough block trading). Moreover, we’ve already begun work towards our next-generation fixed-rate AMM, which provides a step-function improvement to anything in the market to date.</li>
<li>
Borrowing/Lending — Borrowing/lending of PTs, YTs, and LP shares leads to greater capital efficiency, liquidity, and price discovery in the Sense markets. It’s an essential augmentation to any asset, and it’s a prerequisite to mature capital markets. <a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/sense-finance-x-rari-capital-5c0e0b6289d4">The Sense Fuse Pool</a> was our first borrowing/lending integration (now deprecated), and the <a href="https://twitter.com/fiatdao/status/1612910724958887941">FiatDAO integration was our second</a>. We’ll continue to iterate towards the vision of seamless borrowing/lending for all Sense assets. More to come soon!</li>
<li>
Establish a Blue Chip Community — We believe that community is a crucial component of any successful DeFi project, and we’ve been fortunate to have a supportive and engaged community throughout 2022. This is the year that the Sense community levels up.</li>
</ol>
To the team, users, and community, thank you again for your hard work and commitment. We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together in the coming year.
<h3>Next up</h3>
As we roll through January, we’re excited to announce <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1613182028840574976">Yield your thoughts: A DeFi Fixed Income Feedback Initiative</a>. All submissions are appreciated and critical to the development of Sense, so please take a moment to fill out the survey!

The new series have been launched as <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/rolling-liquidity-vaults/#eli5">Rolling Liquidity Vaults</a>, so you can LP with your USDT and USDC and the liquidity will be automatically managed by the vault for a truly passive experience.
Any $MORPHO rewards are distributed to Sense YT holders, since they’re beneficiaries of both Morpho-Aave yield and token rewards. At the end of each epoch, YT holders will be able to claim the $MORPHO due to them based on the number of YTs they held and the amount of time they held them.

The first Idle Finance strategy onboarded to Sense is the <a href="https://app.idle.finance/#/stats/tranches/lido/stETH">stETH Junior Tranche</a>, and its first series matures on March 1st, 2023.
Sense users can now earn fixed rates and trade future yield atop high-yielding Idle Finance strategies, and holders of those strategies can earn extra yield by providing their liquidity to Space pools on Sense and earning trading fees.
Idle’s Junior Tranche stETH strategy gets improved yield versus a normal stETH position in exchange for protecting Senior Tranche holders from <a href="https://docs.idle.finance/products/perpetual-yield-tranches/covered-risks#liquid-staking-protocols">validator key management &amp; slashing risk</a>, the same type of risk that stETH holders are exposed to.
If you want your yield to come from ETH staking, but also want it to be higher than you would get from just stETH, this is for you!
<h3>Incentives for early Space LPs</h3>
Finally, we’re excited to announce an incentive program with Idle DAO.
To encourage early liquidity provision, Idle DAO will reward the first 10 LPs who deposit at least $5k in the Space LP market and hold their funds for 30 days.
Successful depositors will receive a 3% APY boost in $IDLE 🎉
First in, first served.

Earn Set-And-Forget Returns as a Passive LP
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*SQxDMQf34rxS2GKfSqGLGw.png"></figure>You can now provide liquidity in the first ever Rolling Liquidity Vault Space pool in the December 31st wstETH series on Sense Finance!
<h3>What is a Rolling Liquidity Vault (RLV)?</h3>
Because fixed rates have maturities, Space Pool LPs in the past had to remove liquidity from matured pools, and add them to new pools to continue earning trading fees. Now, the Rolling Liquidity Vault (RLV) will automatically create a new series and roll the matured pool’s liquidity into it.
For you, as an LP, that means that your liquidity will be a truly passive investment earning trading fees on your provided asset with no active management until you choose to remove it!
Space Pools already provided an <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/space-pool-performance/#what-drives-space-pool-lp-returns">excellent return profile</a>, but now they also provide an easy user experience to go along with it.
Want to learn more about how RLVs work? Check out our docs: <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/rolling-liquidity-vaults/#eli5">Rolling Liquidity Vaults</a>
<h3>Sense Finance</h3>
We at Sense believe that fixed rates are a critical, missing part of DeFi infrastructure. We also believe that yield stripping is the correct way to approach this, and that it can be built to operate permissionlessly. For that decentralized infrastructure to function on its own, Space Pools have to be designed in a way that makes them attractive for LPs — more attractive than any other fixed rate AMM that has ever been deployed. Part of that is being a truly passive investment!

Rolling Liquidity Vaults are Live

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*lQ4PhPhsNlzBuCz7H2SHrw.png"></figure>On July 2nd, Sense received a smart contract vulnerability disclosure from <a href="https://github.com/shuklaayush">Ayush Shukla</a> regarding one of our old wstETH adapters (#7, or A7). We quickly validated the issue and began working on a fix. Because of the vulnerability’s nature &amp; its latent impact on Sense users, we deployed a fix to production before <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1554937678885421060">disclosing the bug on Aug 3rd</a>.
Furthermore, <a href="https://twitter.com/senseprotocol/status/1554937678885421060">we airdropped roughly 11 ETH to Sense PT, YT, and LP token holders</a> in proportion to their exposure to the bug, so if the bug was exploited before they migrated funds, they would still retain the value they expected from their positions. In other words, all user funds that even had the potential to be exposed to the old adapter (#7) have already been compensated in full.
All funds are SAFU.
Users can continue to safely earn fixed rates, go long/short future yields, and provide liquidity on Sense Space. This post describes the bug, its impact, and our resolution.
<h3>The bug</h3>
We launched a wstETH adapter without ensuring price feed liveliness. At the time of development and launch, the stETH price was at par (1 stETH/ETH), so it was especially difficult to detect the outdated feed without explicit liveness checks. Not having these checks was our mistake.
By the time we discovered its state, the Sense Protocol already digested stale price information, exposing some users to unexpected risk/return profiles.
While stETH/ETH was less than 1, an actor could have updated Lido’s safe_price_value() price feed, causing an immediate drop in Adapter #7’s <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/smart-contracts/#adapter">scale value</a> to function like a negative interest rate.
As of Nov 23rd, the <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0xAb55Bf4DfBf469ebfe082b7872557D1F87692Fe6#readProxyContract">stETH price feed</a> is still stale, hovering around 0.999 ETH, so this risk is minimized for outstanding stakeholders of Adapter #7, but let’s dive into its potential impact, assuming stETH was still trading below 1 stETH/ETH:
<h3>Context &amp; Impact</h3>
The wstETH Adapter #7 (A7) is a vanilla yield-stripping adapter with WETH as the underlying. PT holders expect a fixed yield in underlying terms, so the adapter’s scale function considers the stETH exchange rate to give them more wstETH and counteract stETH price risk. The amount of wstETH given to PT holders is capped by the amount in Sense, so a fixed yield in WETH can’t be promised in all market environments. However, this existence of stETH price risk wasn’t advertised to Sense users, hence we performed the airdrop, as described above.
When we discovered the issue, the oracle hadn’t been updated from its ~1 ETH price for over a year. If the price remained stale forever, there would be no problem, and Sense could continue using the feed as is — however, the problem is that the function to sync the feed’s price to the current moment is open and permissionless, so anyone can call it at any time.
Thus, if we didn’t call the function ourselves, there was a risk somebody else would, at a time of their choosing. This would cause an immediate jump down in the scale value, impacting the following users of Adapter #7:
<ul>
<li>YT holders: all holders could collect up to maxscale . Once collected, however, they would no longer be able to collect until the exchange rate is restored or the yield accrued from wstETH was high enough.</li>
<li>PT holders: they would receive more wstETH at maturity (when compared to an stETH underlying adapter), but would receive less value in WETH terms because YT holders collected from a stale price feed when YT holders shouldn’t have been able to collect.</li>
<li>LP holders: the price of PTs goes up because the <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/docs/core-concepts/#sense-space">Space Pool</a> now thinks the value of wstETH has gone down, per the drop in scale.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The fix</h3>
We updated the adapter’s underlying from WETH to stETH by removing the price feed integration, redeploying the wstETH adapter, and onboarding it as <a href="https://etherscan.io/address/0x6fc4843aac4786b4420e954a2271be16f225a482/advanced">Adapter #8</a>. With this change, all users are aware of and exposed to stETH price risk.
Finally, we reached out to the Lido Dev team and received their acknowledgment of the stale price feed before publishing this post mortem.
<h3>Final thoughts</h3>
Security is our highest priority at Sense. The Sense Protocol has undergone various forms of QA, such as unit/integration/manual testing, fuzz testing, and <a href="https://docs.sense.finance/developers/security/#audits">multiple 3rd party audits</a>.
In addition, we employ several internal dev processes (inspired by Nascent’s <a href="https://github.com/nascentxyz/simple-security-toolkit">simple security toolkit</a>) to increase our own confidence in the features we release. To catch post-launch bugs, we will continue to have a public <a href="https://immunefi.com/bounty/sense/">bug bounty on ImmuneFi</a>, and we have plans to Formally Verify future versions of Sense.
We want to thank <a href="https://github.com/shuklaayush">Ayush</a> once again for disclosing this vulnerability and working with us to understand its impact. If you’re a whitehat, check out our <a href="https://immunefi.com/bounty/sense/">ImmuneFi Bug Bounty Program</a> and help secure the Sense Protocol.

Post Mortem: Addressing the stale stETH price feed in A7

Use FiatDAO to unlock liquidity from your sP-maDAI fixed rate positions.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*DUl9Y0SEO9AfqxPBYYWpng.png"></figure>The integration of Sense principal tokens on FiatDAO is now live, meaning users can collateralize principal tokens to mint $FIAT on <a href="https://beta.fiatdao.com/">FiatDAO’s interface</a>. This $FIAT liberates liquidity for fixed-rate holders to amplify their exposure to the fixed rate or add other positions.
The first principal tokens to be onboarded are sP-maDAI tokens from our recently announced <a href="https://medium.com/sensefinance/morpho-aave-integration-is-live-on-sense-b565db516337">Morpho integration.</a> As time goes on, we plan to add additional tokens as collateral on FiatDAO.
To achieve on an amplified fixed rate position, you can use $DAI to buy sP-maDAI on Sense, then deposit that sP-maDAI on FiatDAO to mint $FIAT. To use that $FIAT to amplify your exposure to the fixed rate on sP-maDAI you can sell the $FIAT for $DAI on Balancer and buy more sP-maDAI on Sense (repeat process to desired amplification).

FiatDAO Protocol Integration is Live on Sense

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*tKvPORT7gyg13vAhJuF-zw.png"></figure>The current state of Web3 communities can feel repetitive, dull, and not very engaging. Members are encouraged to contribute and participate without any real rewards. There is no real value exchange between the project and its community members.
At Sense, we put our community first! We have innovated a unique community structure to encourage engagement, growth, and value for everyone!
Introducing… Sense Engagement Roles! A way for community members to be directly rewarded for their contributions and engagement.
<h3>How Does It Work?</h3>
Engagement Roles are an internal rank system in the <a href="https://t.co/ui5IeR8oXQ">Sense Discord</a> that rewards members for participating directly within the Sense community. Therefore, the more you interact and participate, then the higher up you rank and thus receive the greater benefits. We reward those who contribute and engage the most, and the best part is that everyone can be at the top together!
To kickstart Engagement Roles, we have created 3 ranks (Bronze Senvoy, Silver Senvoy, &amp; Gold Senvoy). Each rank will be sequential, meaning you can only become a Silver Senvoy by achieving Bronze Senvoy first. The higher the rank, the more it requires, and the better the rewards.
Senvoys are the envoys of the Sense protocol, on a mission to spread the good news of Sense with the broader crypto community. They’re highly resourceful, mission-driven, and committed to the future DeFi economy. The existing Senvoys of the Sense community will be grandfathered into the first month as Bronze Senvoys.
<h3>What Do I Get?</h3>
Each rank will have regular monthly giveaways, access to exclusive channels, extra benefits, and so much more. We will roll out the perks for each rank slowly over time and will continue to add more benefits to each rank as the community grows. Our goal is to continue to increase the rewards, giveaways, and prizes so that everyone in the community feels rewarded for their contribution.
Here is a list of the current benefits and prizes for each rank:
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*AQyXbScyoqeds4XY2rJy9g.png"></figure><h3>How Do I Rank Up?</h3>
Ranks will be automatically given via a Discord server role that is managed by the Sense team. Ranks are given based on engagement in the community, so things like sending messages in the Discord chats, following Sense on Twitter, and inviting your friends to join all count towards ranking up. More engagement = higher rank!
The requirements to rank are subject to change as the community grows. Note that there is no limit on the number of members that can be in each rank, so it is all dependent on the individual’s contribution to the community. Remember that failure to maintain rank requirements will result in de-ranking.
Here is a list of the Ranks and the requirements to earn each rank:
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*HTB10M3hlxHTjQseDQcsIw.png"></figure><h3>When Does It Start?</h3>
Engagement Roles will be live starting November 1, 2022, and will continue tracking engagement live in real-time. All giveaways will be hosted monthly and include all of the members of the specific rank as of the last day of the month.
<h3>Is There More to Come?</h3>
Yes, yes, and YES!
This is just the first iteration of Engagement Roles. The best part is that this structure allows for changes and customization at scale.
As the community continues to grow, we will be able to add new ranks, adjust existing ranks, add more prizes, features, and benefits. We are already working on rolling out more functionality to Engagement Roles over the coming months and will continue to get feedback from our community to make them as best as possible!
