Scores
Each criterion carries equal weight. The overall score is the average of these 6 scores — (10.0 + 5.0 + 10.0 + 5.0 + 10.0 + 0.0) ÷ 6 = 6.7.
Pros
- Names programs with network, dates and amounts, such as Orcadium on Swellchain: 2,000,000 wSWELL, 15 August to 15 September 2025
- Its Lens case study compares a flat-emission leg with a KPI-based leg against stated TVL targets, including the budget left unspent
- Every campaign's chain, dates and reward amounts can be read without an account
Cons
- No sybil or anti-farming mechanism is described beyond address allow and block lists
- The effectiveness report is self-published, not independent
- Names no legal entity and discloses no ties to campaign sponsors

How Metrom scores, criterion by criterion
Each mark comes from a fixed scale published on our methodology page, and each links to the page it was read from.
| Criterion | Mark | What we found | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Named programs | 10 | Names at least five programs with network and period: Lens Chain Uniswap pools (11 August to 4 October, per the case study), Orcadium (Swellchain, 15 August to 15 September 2025), Telos LP tranche 2 (May 2025), LightLink Round 3 (May 2025) and Aave on Aptos (November 2025). | medium.com, read 2026-09-22 |
| Disclosed volume | 5 | Amounts are stated for most programs (19,698 of 21,966 WGHO distributed for Lens, 2,000,000 wSWELL for Orcadium, 106,920 WTLOS plus 13,860 USDC for Telos, 1.7 million plus 524,000 LL for LightLink) but not for Aave on Aptos. | medium.com, read 2026-09-22 |
| Impact report | 10 | The Lens case study compares a flat-emission leg with a KPI-based leg against stated TVL target ranges, reporting TVL at start, peak and end, APR, and allocated against distributed rewards per pool (10.32% of the budget unspent overall). | medium.com, read 2026-09-22 |
| Abuse protection | 5 | KPI-linked payouts are presented as a check on mercenary farming, and campaigns can allow or block up to 20 addresses; no sybil-detection mechanism is described. | docs.metrom.xyz, read 2026-09-22 |
| Open data | 10 | Campaign pages are public, and the API behind the open-source app returns every campaign's chain, dates, target and reward amounts without authentication. | api.metrom.xyz, read 2026-09-22 |
| Independence | 0 | Not published. | docs.metrom.xyz, read 2026-09-22 |
Metrom publishes nothing we could find on independence, so that criterion scores 0. That is a record of what is published, not a finding about what the firm does privately.
Who it suits
DEXs and chains that want liquidity incentives that pay out only as TVL targets are met, with every campaign visible in public data.
