Arcadia Uses Sablier to Vest AAA Tokens Across Team, Investors & LPs

Arcadia streamlines clAMM liquidity management across DEX ecosystems like Aerodrome, Uniswap, et. al. through its unified Liquidity Management Layer (LML). As a protocol-level solution, Arcadia serves projects looking to optimize protocol-owned liquidity as well as institutional asset managers who require non-custodial LP management solutions. Permissionless and modular, Arcadia is core infrastructure for the future of DeFi. 

Backed by Coinbase Ventures, Arcadia is live on Base with additional outposts across the Superchain planned in the coming months. Supporting Uniswap v4 Hooks and offering LP automation and liquidity bribing on a DEX-agnostic aggregation layer, Arcadia's suite of LP management tools drastically reduces overhead for professionals in an increasingly complex landscape.

The Challenge

To support the launch of their AAA token, Arcadia needed to distribute tokens to 70 recipients—including team members, early investors, advisors, and liquidity providers—without creating sell pressure or operational complexity. The requirements:

• 2-year vesting plans to reassure the community and avoid dumping
• Different unlock curves per recipient type
• No custom contracts or interfaces
• Transparent, secure infrastructure

“We wanted our community to know we’re in this for the long haul, which is why we chose a two-year vesting period. Sablier made it incredibly easy to implement, with no engineering lift and full transparency. It’s hands down the best way to handle token distribution.” — Thomas Smets, Arcadia CEO

Why Arcadia Chose Sablier

Sablier’s protocol offered exactly what Arcadia was looking for:

• 2-Year linear vesting: All recipients are subject to a long-term, two-year vesting period.
• Real-Time transparency: Token streams are visible and verifiable onchain, instilling trust with the community.
• No-code setup: Arcadia created all vesting streams via Sablier’s UI—no engineering work or audits required.
• Battle-tested security: With audited contracts and over $500M in Total Value Locked (TVL), Sablier’s infrastructure is proven and reliable.

Impact

With Sablier, Arcadia:

• Prevented early dumps by committing all recipients to long-term schedules
• Avoided spending thousands of dollars on custom vesting contracts
• Increased community trust via transparent, auditable streams

Conclusion

Arcadia turned token vesting into a strategic advantage. With 70 unique streams set up across all key stakeholders, Sablier gave them the control, flexibility, and trust guarantees needed to grow AAA sustainably.
