who's still in SG, extended the stay, hmu!

We have decided to shut down Metrom. We noticed that DeFi incentives were largely being run through traditional liquidity mining, a spray-and-pray model where rewards were distributed without much control over what they were actually driving. This often meant inefficient spend, mercenary capital, and incentives without a clear goal. We wanted to make incentive distribution more efficient by tying rewards to KPIs like TVL, volume, and time-based goals, giving teams more control over their budgets and the outcomes they were targeting. Over the past 2 years, we put a lot of effort into making this work in practice. We helped teams reduce wasted incentive spend, structure rewards around specific goals, and use incentives to reach and maintain meaningful TVL targets. It’s a hard but meaningful problem, and we’ve been actively pushing it across DeFi. Metrom went live across 12+ networks and facilitated distritbution of over $1.5M in incentives We learned a lot along the way about incentives, liquidity, protocols, and building in crypto. A big thank you to everyone who trusted us, worked with us, gave us feedback, or simply followed along. Metrom is shutting down, but the people behind it aren’t going anywhere. On to the next chapter.
