Arbitrum opens a stablecoin growth program around USDG

Arbitrum opened its Stablecoin Growth Program on October 15. Eligible protocols need at least $1 million in stablecoin balances, a live product with audited contracts and a commitment to make USDG their primary stablecoin on Arbitrum.

The first ten accepted teams to reach a $10 million USDG balance, measured as a 30-day average, can each receive 200,000 ARB from a separate prize pool. Broader incentives depend on eligibility and approval.

The design rewards retained liquidity rather than a single deposit snapshot. It remains an incentive program, so growth in balances should be evaluated separately from organic demand and activity after incentives end.
