PolyCUB is the newest addition to the CUB Defi family. Polygon CUB extends the ecosystem from Binance Smart Chain to Polygon.

An allocation is dropped to holders of CUB over a period of 60 days. Airdrop period is quickly approaching the end. The token is currently experiencing a rapid inflation phase. Initial inflation started out at 5 PolyCUB per block (every 2 seconds) and already dropped to 1 tokens per block.

xPolyCUB is now a governance token which will control future decisions about the PolyCUB ecosystem:
Introducing xPOLYCUB Governance | First Vote: Reduce the Locked Claim "Power Down" Window.

The first governance action was to shorten the penalty period for claiming incentive tokens from 90 days to 30 days.


The growth of staked PolyCUB has been slowing down:

The extremely large difference between mean and median balance shows a strong concentration of assets in the top quartile. Although still very lopsided, the distribution is slowly improving, which can be observed by the Herfindahl–Hirschman Index (HHI):

The HHI is a measure of industry concentration or competitiveness. Increases in the Herfindahl index indicate a decrease in competition. The scale ranges from 0 (highly competitive) to 1 (monopoly). In practice, a value over 0.25 already signifies high concentration.
