Token

Token Allocation

From their introduction (26-1-2021):

"You will be able to earn $RULER by using the product or by contributing to the protocol. We will also airdrop $RULER to users who have participated in governance for Cover Protocol and other Yearn ecosystem protocols via Snapshot.page."

An improvement proposal was accepted by the community, reducing the emissions (21-3-2021):

"The new tokenomics will significantly reduce the current emissions that were scheduled to have 17.75% of the total supply released after the 3 month mark. Instead emissions will now be reduced to 12.8% at the 3 month mark, even including the addition of the xRULER changes being added this week."

From their blog (30-4-2021):

"250,000 tokens— Liquidity Mining: Will last one year (ends in March 2022). This includes both pool 2 and rewards for lending pools. If there are remaining $RULER, it will be sent to the treasury. Any additional liquidity mining emissions can be directed by governance, using treasury funds.
500,000 tokens — Treasury: Used for all other areas, including but not limited to rewarding contributors, new onboarded team members, and bug bounties.
250,000 tokens— Founding Team Salary: No changes. Vested over two years."

Utility

Other Details

From Yield Farmer (14-3-2021):

"The project’s lending offerings are resistant to liquidations thanks to the project’s two-token system. As for these two tokens, they’re the rcToken, which mark a claim on loan repayments after expiry through a token like DAI, and the rrToken, which is a tokenized obligation to repay a Ruler position that you can pay back as you please and thereafter retrieve your collateral."
