TLDR: This proposal adds Lisk to the v3 deployments record and grants Lisk an Onboarding Package, which includes $250k of UNI incentives for three months on three key markets and Angle Merkl’s integration of Lisk. Lisk will match Uniswap’s incentives 1-for-1. Additionally, Lisk is committed to locking $1 million of protocol-owned liquidity (POL) for one year in exchange for $125k in additional UNI rewards, bringing the total UNI incentives to $375k matched by $250k in LSK incentives and $1 million POL locked for a full year. Separate from this proposal, Lisk has arranged for Oku to support Lisk, and the contracts have been deployed.

Today, Lisk’s total value locked is ~$150 million, which makes it the sixteenth largest chain Layer 2 by TVL, according to L2beats. Having launched its Developer Mainnet in June and with the Public Mainnet scheduled for Q4, the Lisk DeFi ecosystem is very much in its infancy.
With Lisk still in its early stages, Uniswap has the opportunity to grab the majority of its market share without spending much capital. We propose directing the requested UNI incentives to the following markets:
Oku has already completed integrating the contracts with its infrastructure. If the proposal passes, we will coordinate with the Lisk team, Angle Merkl, and the Accountability Committee to set up the incentives as soon as possible. As of now, we’re shooting to be live the week of October 21st. In the meantime, anyone from the ecosystem who would like the contract details can find them below, or if they want access to the staging deployment for Lisk on Oku, they can contact the Oku team.
GFX Labs deployed the standard Uniswap v3 contracts and the associated peripheral contracts on Lisk. The crosschain account handles the deployment’s ownership via Lisk’s messaging system.
Two things are worth noting. First, Lisk will match Uniswap’s incentives 1-for-1. Second, Oku is not included in the costs of this proposal because Lisk already arranged for Oku to deploy and integrate the Uniswap v3 contracts.
Below is the proposed timeline for delegates’ consideration. The timeline is an estimate and may be extended during the process as more time is required.
In addition to the proposed $250k in matching incentives, Lisk is also ready to lock protocol-owned liquidity (POL) to further enhance long-term sustainability and strategic alignment. Specifically, we propose locking $1 million of POL for a minimum duration of one year, in exchange for an additional $125k in UNI rewards.
This adjustment brings the total UNI incentives to $375k, matched by $250k in LSK incentives, alongside the $1 million POL locked for a full year.
