GIGA Protect (MEV)

GIGA Protect is GIGA’s industry-leading defence for liquidity providers. It makes sure rewards go to the liquidity that stays in the market, not to capital that appears for a block to farm them and leaves.

The Problem It Solves

Just-in-time (JIT) liquidity is a well-known leak in reward programmes. A bot adds a large concentrated position moments before rewards are claimable, harvests them, and withdraws. Real LPs, who keep liquidity available through changing market conditions, are diluted by capital that never took any risk.

How It Works

GIGA Protect is built into the protocol’s reward accounting for concentrated liquidity. It tracks recent liquidity changes on every position and treats rewards claimed too soon after a change as forfeit. There is nothing for LPs to configure: hold a position through the protection window and rewards accrue normally. Change a position and claim inside the window, and the pending rewards are forfeited.

It applies to GIGA emissions on concentrated positions. Swap fees accrue as normal.

Why It Matters

• Emissions land on real liquidity, so every GIGA from the reserve buys depth that traders can use.
• Long-term LPs are not diluted by mercenary capital.
• Rewards are protected at the protocol level, in the contracts themselves, not by off-chain monitoring.
