# Whitelisting and Rewards

## Eligibility

To be eligible for staking and earning rewards on InitiaDEX, L1 governance must
whitelist the LP pair. Before whitelisting, the LP token must meet the following
prerequisites:

1. The LP token must include INIT as part of its pair.
2. For Balancer pool positions, the INIT weight within the pool must be equal to
   or greater than 50%.

## Determining Rewards and Reward Weights

When a new LP token $a$ is whitelisted, the proposal must also include a
suggested reward weight $w_a$ for the token. This weight represents the relative
amount of rewards allocated to the token per block compared to the overall
distribution among all whitelisted tokens. Governance can later adjust this
weight once the asset is whitelisted.

To determine the distribution of rewards per token per block for a stakable
asset $a$ among $N$ total stakable assets, we use the following formula that
incorporates individual reward weights:

$$
r_a = \frac{w_a \cdot r_{\text{total}}}{\sum_{i=1}^{N} w_i}
$$

where:

* $r_a$ represents the inflationary INIT rewards for the asset $a$.
* $r_{\text{total}}$ denotes the total INIT rewards allocated for a given block.
* $w_a$ is the governance-set reward weight parameter for the asset $a$.
* $\sum_{i=1}^{N} w_i$ is the sum of reward weights for all $N$ whitelisted
  tokens.
