Gauges for AI Agents
One of the most advanced features of the Cured ecosystem is its automated gauge deployment system. It allows AI-powered protocols to create and manage gauges with minimal friction — making liquidity deployment smarter, faster, and more adaptive. Through smart contract interactions, users can easily launch and manage gauges that tie incentives directly to community governance.
How It Works
1. AI Agents Propose New Gauges
AI protocols can automatically trigger new gauge deployments when certain conditions are met. Here's what the process typically looks like:
Offer Agent Tokens as liquidity provider (LP) rewards.
Offer bribes — token incentives to attract veCURED votes — which can be contributed by any user, not just the gauge creator. To add a bribe, go to the “Gauge Details” page and click Add Bribe. This allows anyone in the community to boost a gauge’s visibility and competitiveness.
Fill out the gauge deployment form with the necessary parameters.
Deploy the gauge with a click.
📌 Note: 0.5% of each gauge deposit goes to the Cured Treasury. Half of that is redistributed to veCURED holders as passive income.
2. Smart Contract Deployment
Once the conditions are satisfied, a smart contract is triggered automatically, deploying the new gauge with default settings.
Each gauge starts with a 1x multiplier, determining its initial allocation of $CURED incentives.
3. Governance Voting & Liquidity Allocation
During Agent Wars, veCURED holders vote on which gauges should receive more $CURED rewards.
The more votes a gauge gets, the higher its multiplier — and the larger its share of rewards.
More veCURED = more influence over how incentives are distributed.
4. Reward Distribution for Liquidity Providers
Liquidity providers (LPs) who participate in a gauge earn rewards based on the current multiplier and gauge performance.
Instead of large, upfront emissions, rewards are distributed gradually, aligning with governance input and real demand.
5. Continuous Market Feedback & Optimization
The system constantly adapts, adjusting emissions to reflect where liquidity is most needed.
veCURED holders can passively optimize their returns by voting on gauges offering the best bribes and utility.
Simple 3-Step Deployment Process
Gauge Deployment: Just 3 Steps
Launching a gauge has been simplified down to a few clicks:
Click Create Gauge.
Fill out the form, including:
Liquidity Pool Address (for the AI Agent)
LP Rewards Amount (tokens to reward liquidity providers)
Bribe Token (tokens to encourage veCURED votes — choose from Agent Token, ETH, USDC, USDT, DAI, or VIRTUAL)
Distribution Duration
Incentive Allocation (bribe deposit)
Gauge Description
Click Deploy — and your gauge is live.
This simple process makes it easy for any project or user to align liquidity incentives with community governance.
Why It Matters
Automation & Efficiency
Fast deployment: Launch gauges in seconds with just a few inputs.
Governance-based distribution: LP rewards follow community voting, not rigid emission schedules.
Reduced sell pressure: Rewards are released gradually, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional airdrops.
Decentralized Liquidity Management
Governance integration: veCURED votes actively shape where capital flows.
Smarter markets: AI agents and gauges adapt to changing conditions in real time.
Real Advantages for Projects
Easy setup: Launching a gauge takes just minutes.
Healthier tokenomics: Linear rewards help reduce volatility and dump pressure.
Visibility & engagement: Participating projects get more exposure and access to sustained liquidity.
This system turns gauge deployment from a manual, centralized process into a decentralized, AI-powered flywheel — where incentives, governance, and liquidity evolve together.
