gm frens,
Trader Joe closed out Q1 in style, completing all three installments of Tokenomics V2 — rJOE, sJOE, and veJOE. It was a huge month for the Avalanche community, with a week-long summit held in Barcelona, full of warmth and celebration. Now, we set our sights on Q2, first up is the much-anticipated deployment of the JOEPEG marketplace.
veJOE
The deployment of veJOE is the final key piece for Tokenomics V2. With the deployment of veJOE we introduce ‘Boost Farms’ onto the Trader Joe platform. Boost Farms are the same existing Farms as before, however, 40% of the JOE Rewards are now reserved exclusively for veJOE Stakers. This change rewards Farmers who Stake their JOE into veJOE, rather than just selling their JOE.
In addition to veJOE Boosts, there is a veJOE Accrual Boost that can be unlocked by staking more than 5% of your JOE every 15 days. This mechanism provides a constant incentive to continually stake new JOE.
Since deploying veJOE over 26m (~12%) JOEs are now staked and ‘locked’ into veJOE and we see more JOE being staked into veJOE than being emitted on a daily basis.
veJOE: Boost your Farm Yields
- Stake JOE into veJOE to earn veJOE over time. veJOE applies a Boost APR to selected Farms. The higher your veJOE Share the higher your share of the Boost Rewards.
veJOE: The Joe Wars have Started
- Competing protocols will start to lock up JOE tokens in an effort to offer the best yields to their users.
- Our long-time friends Yield Yak have started to ‘Diamond Hands’ their JOE Tokens and have so far nearly hit the 100,000 veJOE Milestone.
- We expect the JOE Wars to heat up soon, with expected entrants from Vector Finance and Steak Hut Finance.
- Checkout the veJOE Farms offered by Yield Yak here:

sJOE
sJOE has been incredibly popular since launching, with nearly 85m JOE Staked (41% of circulating JOEs). To protect existing stakers from continued dilution, we have activated a 1% fee for all new deposits into sJOE Staking. This fee will be deducted from the JOEs that have been deposited and will be kept in the Treasury.
- This deposit fee can scale higher up to a maximum of 3%
- Users have the option to stake into sJOE via partner protocols that may offer auto-compounding sJOE Vaults
rJOE
- Following Hopper’s 10K NFT collection mint-out, the Rocket Joe launch was a resounding success!
- A double reward $FLY / $AVAX farm is currently live, with rewards in $FLY + $JOE
