Why Was the Market Maker Uptime Program Expanded into Community Maker Yield ? The SIP-5A documentation introduces Community Maker Yield as an extension of the existing Market Maker Uptime Program. In the new design, the eligible liquidity measurement used by the uptime program is preserved, while that same measurement also becomes part of the Community Maker Yield distribution. With this change, eligible liquidity on the order book is no longer just a metric being tracked. The same measurement is now incorporated into the daily Community Maker Yield calculation. The documentation does not change the underlying approach used to evaluate eligible liquidity. What changes is that the measurement is now connected to the economic distribution mechanism. As a result, participants who provide eligible liquidity can receive a share of the Community Maker Yield pool according to the rules defined in SIP-5A. The key change introduced by SIP-5A is not the replacement of the existing measurement framework, but the integration of that same measurement into the Community Maker Yield mechanism. For that reason, SIP-5A creates a direct connection between the Market Maker Uptime Program and Community Maker Yield. Eligible liquidity continues to be measured, while that same measurement also serves as one of the inputs for Community Maker Yield distribution. #standxblog# @StandX_Official @Stander_StandX
