Dolomite is now a big part of Arbitrum's new DeFi Renaissance Incentive Program. The DOLO currency is the basis for one of the best liquidity projects in the crypto market right now. The program started giving out medals on September 4, 2025. You can get up to 24 million ARB tokens by borrowing in different ways on Arbitrum. Dolomite is one of the biggest winners. DeFi protocols need to make the most of their money right now, so this new set of incentives is coming at the right time. The project aims to promote leveraged looping methods that let people borrow money against assets that earn interest so they can make more money. Traders who are watching Binance, where DOLO has its most active trading pair with more than $6.2 million in USDT volume per day, can use this liquidity initiative as a good reason to buy and sell instead of just guessing.
The Arbitrum DRIP software does exactly what Dolomite was meant to do. Dolomite calls this "Dynamic Collateral." It lets people borrow money against their collateral and still get staking rewards and the chance to vote. With this plan, you can work on more than one problem at a time. They can make money from internal liquidity pools by charging fees for trading and interest on loans. The DRIP program lasts for two weeks, which makes it easy to set goals and see how well the treatment is working. Dolomite is already attracting new liquidity providers and experienced DeFi users who want to make the most of their money. The incentive program doesn't just give away tokens at random; it also encourages people to do things that make the underlying protocol architecture better. For instance, it pays people who add sticky liquidity that stays active long after the promotional periods are over.
Dolomite has made even more connections with Berachain, a Layer 1 blockchain that uses a Proof of Liquidity consensus method and has more than $2 billion in guaranteed liquidity. This is on top of the Arbitrum ecosystem. Royco started a pre-deposit campaign in January 2025 to make this happen. People can put up things like HONEY, USDC, ETH, and WBTC before the mainnet of Berachain goes live. Tokens that are lent out will be frozen for 90 days, while assets that are not lent out will be locked for 30 days. People will win money in veDOLO, BERA, and the interest on their debts. Berachain has put aside more than 1% of its BERA tokens for Royco deposits. Dolomite has added 30 million veDOLO tokens to the reward pool. Dolomite is working with other chains to make liquidity channels that work together instead of on their own. This goes along with the modular design, which lets the protocol handle up to 1,000 assets at once.
Recently, DOLO has also changed how it works. There are now new ways to think about how oDOLO emissions move between chains and assets that make it easier to understand. The Dolomite team suggested changing how emissions are divided up in August 2025. Botanix would like this better, and it would make sure that the weights for Arbitrum, Berachain, and Ethereum are the same. This proposal talks about how the protocol uses its three tokens—DOLO for trading, veDOLO for governance and sharing of revenue, and oDOLO for incentives for liquidity providers—to create feedback loops that keep everyone's interests in line. People who have veDOLO money can vote on changes to the protocol, new asset listings, and other important decisions about the system. They also get a share of the protocol fees, which come from interest spreads, liquidation fees, and money that the protocol controls and gets from liquidity. Users get oDOLO by making it easier to trade different types of assets. Users have to go through a week-long matching process to turn oDOLO into veDOLO. At this point, oDOLO is linked to DOLO, which was bought on the open market. This is why so many people like the basic token.
For any DeFi protocol that handles a lot of money, security is still the most important thing. Some of the companies that have done thorough audits of Dolomite are Zeppelin Solutions, Bramah Systems, SECBIT Labs, Cyfrin, Zokyo, and Guardian. The protocol looks at all the smart contracts that are in use to make sure they cover all the lines, statements, and branches. This is something that people in tech do a lot to make it harder for hackers to find flaws in the system. Dolomite can add new features without breaking the security promises it made in its first audits because it has a core layer that can't be changed and an outside layer that can be changed. You can use GMX and Pendle to make and use interfaces with other protocols without changing the core contracts that have been tested and shown to work for managing user funds.
The way Dolomite's tokens work lets value go up in a lot of different ways. There are one billion DOLO tokens in all. As of October 2025, about 442 million of them are still in use. The price of the token has gone up and down a lot since it reached an all-time high of $0.368 on August 31, 2025. DOLO is worth more than $45 million right now, which makes it the 611th most valuable thing on major tracking sites. The airdrop that gave Dolomite users and Minerals Program members 20% of the total supply included both locked veDOLO and liquid DOLO. Instead of making people feel like they have to sell right away, community awards help keep things going in the right direction over time. The protocol has handled more than $928 million in transactions, and it lets clients use complicated borrowing methods across multiple chains to find access points.
A simple, clean cover with the Dolomite logo on a gradient background and subtle geometric patterns that look like connected liquidity pools would be a great way to show how the protocol focuses on capital efficiency and cross-chain composability without making the cover look too complicated.
Instead of staying the same, Dolomite is a protocol that is growing. This is shown by the Arbitrum DRIP project, the growth of Berachain, and the ongoing improvements to governance. People who might want to join are worried that the current market value doesn't show how helpful strategic ecosystem ties and incentive liquidity initiatives are. Dolomite is different from other loan methods that want to get more market share and total value locked because it has a modular architecture and a collateral system that changes. Will it be able to keep growing after the current incentive period is over?
