Liquidity mining will distribute OPTY to incentivize users to retain assets in OptyFi vaults. Increased assets should increase the Protocol's value by expanding revenue base and realizing economic efficiencies of scale. However, excessive OPTY distribution can have a depressing effect on OPTY price, reducing the Protocol's market cap directly and also weakening the Protocol's ability to incentivize users and contributors. Thus, a balance needs to be struck between stimulating Protocol growth and supporting OPTY price.
