Gearbox said that with reduced token incentives, TVL increased from $17 million in 2023 to $83 million in 2024. The newly introduced Gauges mechanism in V3 enables democratic decision-making on lending rates. Currently, more than 2.8% of GEAR has been staked. The DAO generated about $3 million in revenue in 2024, spending only $486,000 in token incentives.
