Building the Core Infrastructure
Pitch DAO is engineering the core governance and economic rails for stablecoins and AMMs. Our infrastructure integrates directly with giants like Curve, Frax, and Saddle. We see governance as a market that needs efficient price discovery.
Pitch.Money: A Marketplace for Vote Incentives
Our Pitch.Money product is a generalized marketplace for vote incentives. It allows protocols to directly reward voters for allocating emissions to their gauge. This isn't just theory; it's actively used by protocols like IQ.wiki, Temple DAO, and Vesper Finance to secure liquidity.
Deep Liquidity Products for Partner Ecosystems
We also build deep liquidity products for partner ecosystems. pitchFXS provides native yield while retaining full governance power for FXS holders. It’s synthetic asset engineering with purpose.
For Saddle Finance, we developed pitchSDL. This liquid wrapper unlocks veSDL positions without sacrificing governance influence. Its phased rollout continues throughout this quarter.
Intuitive Dashboards for Governance Participation
The Vote Market Dashboard surfaces the top gauges in any ecosystem. The "Pitch Incentive" button initiates an intuitive process: select reward token, set the total amount, and define capital efficiency.
Our Gauges Dashboard provides a granular view of each pool's statistics and all active incentive pitches. The workflow mirrors the Vote Market for seamless user experience.
Priced Pitching: Eliminating Overspending Risk
A key innovation is Priced Pitching ($/veToken). Protocols specify the exact dollar amount they'll pay per veToken vote earned. This eliminates overspending risk—you only pay for votes you actually secure.
Fees are calculated on converted capital at the epoch's end. It’s efficiency engineered into the settlement layer.
The Future of Incentive Infrastructure
We're moving beyond simple bribe markets to programmable incentive infrastructure. The goal is capital efficiency married to robust governance participation.
