Answer
How much does a TVL boost campaign cost?
It's set by the formula, not a rate card: budget = target TVL × desired boost × days ÷ 365. Lifting $2M by ten points for two weeks computes to roughly $7–8K of rewards. Platform fees follow the published rate card on the launchpool portal; individual campaign terms are confidential.
Three inputs move the number and nothing else: how much TVL you want, how many points of extra APY it takes to attract it, and how long you run. Doubling the window doubles the budget for the same uplift; halving the target TVL halves it. Because it is arithmetic rather than a quote, you can solve for whichever constraint you actually have — if the budget is what's fixed, the calculator tells you what TVL that budget can support instead.
The input teams most often get wrong is the uplift. It has to beat what that capital can already earn elsewhere, not beat zero. If comparable stablecoin vaults are paying 8% and you offer 12% all-in, you are competing on four points, not twelve — and the budget needs to be sized against those four. Checking live comparable APYs before setting the boost is the single step that most often decides whether a budget works or quietly underperforms.
