Incentives

The UiIncentiveDataProvider provides methods to query all active incentive emissions, and claimable user incentives for a particular Aave market.

RewardsController

RewardsController is the main rewards contract where the user interacts to claim the rewards of their positions. It is an abstract contract template to build Distributors contracts for ERC20 rewards to protocol participants. RewardsController inherits from RewardsDistributor to handle the distribution of rewards. The users of the incentivized ERC20 assets will accrue value if they hold their tokens in possession without the need for staking or blocking the assets inside a contract.

The users can claim all the rewards or an individual reward per transaction, with a variety of functions that allow more granularity at claim.

At every transfer, the asset must call the handleAction method to account for the user's rewards.

The source code is available on GitHub.

Write Methods

initialize

function initialize(address) external initializer

Initialize RewardsController instance.

Input Parameters:

TypeDescription
addressUnused but required due to being initialized by PoolAddressProvider._updateImpl()

configureAssets

function configureAssets(RewardsDataTypes.RewardsConfigInput[] memory config) external override onlyEmissionManager

Configure assets to incentivize with an emission of rewards per second until the end of distribution.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
configRewardsDataTypes.RewardsConfigInput[]The emission per second following rewards unit decimals

The RewardsDataTypes.RewardsConfigInput struct is composed of the following fields:

NameTypeDescription
emissionPerSeconduint88The emission per second following rewards unit decimals
totalSupplyuint256The total supply of the asset to incentivize
distributionEnduint32The end of the distribution of the incentives for an asset
assetaddressThe asset address to incentivize
rewardaddressThe reward token address
transferStrategyITransferStrategyThe TransferStrategy address with the install hook and claim logic
rewardOracleIEACAggregatorProxyThe Price Oracle of a reward to visualize the incentives at the UI frontend. Must follow Chainlink Aggregator IEACAggregatorProxy interface to be compatible.

setTransferStrategy

function setTransferStrategy(address reward, ITransferStrategyBase transferStrategy) external onlyEmissionManager

Sets a TransferStrategy logic contract that determines the logic of the rewards transfer.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
rewardaddressThe address of the reward token
transferStrategyaddressThe address of the TransferStrategy logic contract

setRewardOracle

function setRewardOracle(address reward, IEACAggregatorProxy rewardOracle) external onlyEmissionManager

Sets an Aave Oracle contract to enforce rewards with a source of value.

At the moment of reward configuration, the Incentives Controller performs a check to see if the reward asset oracle is compatible with IEACAggregator proxy. This check is enforced for integrators to show incentives at the current Aave UI without needing to set up an external price registry.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
rewardaddressThe address of the reward to set the price aggregator
rewardOracleIEACAggregatorProxyThe address of price aggregator that follows the IEACAggregatorProxy interface

handleAction

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
useraddressThe address of the user
totalSupplyuint256The user balance of the asset
userBalanceuint256The total supply of the asset

claimRewards

function claimRewards(    address[] calldata assets,    uint256 amount,    address to,    address reward) external override returns (uint256)

Claims reward for a user to the desired address, on all the assets of the pool, accumulating the pending rewards. Rewards are received by the to address.

Input Parameters:

NameTypeDescription
assetsaddress[]The list of assets to check eligible distributions before claiming rewards. Pass a/s/vToken addresses
amountuint256The amount of rewards to claim, expressed in wei. Pass MAX_UINT to claim the entire unclaimed reward balance

rewardaddressThe address of the reward token (e.g., stkAAVE)

Return Values:

TypeDescription
uint256The amount of rewards claimed for one specific reward

The msg.sender must be an authorized claimer set using the setClaimer() method, via a Governance Vote.

claimRewardsOnBehalf

function claimRewardsOnBehalf(    address[] calldata assets,    uint256 amount,    address user,    address to,    address reward) external override onlyAuthorizedClaimers(msg.sender, user) returns (uint256)

Claims rewards for a user on behalf, on all the assets of the pool, accumulating the pending rewards of the assets passed by the first argument.

useraddressThe address to check and claim rewards
toaddressThe address that will be receiving the rewards
rewardaddressThe address of the reward token being claimed (e.g., stkAAVE)

Return Values:

TypeDescription
uint256The amount of rewards claimed

claimRewardsToSelf

function claimRewardsToSelf(address[] calldata assets, uint256 amount, address reward) external override returns (uint256)
