Frequently Asked Questions
Nitro pools are Camelot's customizable incentive pools. Projects can create pools with specific requirements (lock duration, position size) and rewards. This allows precise liquidity bootstrapping beyond standard farming.
GRAIL is the liquid governance token. xGRAIL is escrowed GRAIL that provides boosted yields, governance voting, and dividend rights. xGRAIL has vesting periods to convert back to GRAIL, encouraging long-term alignment.
xGRAIL holders receive dividends from protocol fees. A portion of trading fees and other revenue is distributed to xGRAIL stakers. This creates real yield from actual protocol usage.
Camelot is Arbitrum-native with ecosystem focus and xGRAIL incentives. Uniswap is the established leader with deeper liquidity on major pairs. Camelot often has better rates for Arbitrum-native tokens.
Camelot is audited and has significant TVL on Arbitrum. It's been operating since 2022 without major incidents. Standard DEX risks apply. The xGRAIL mechanism is well-tested.
