# SIP#23 - Data Driven Emissions Modifications

**Background**

Stargate currently incentivizes a number of pools (USDC, USDT, ETH, DAI, SUSD, FRAX and LUSD), targeting a general TVL (total value locked) for each pool. Currently Stargate’s TVL in some pools is higher than needed to support current and projected transfer volumes and/or the protocol is emitting more emissions than needed resulting in APRs that are higher than the minimum required to incentivize the required TVL in those pools. By aligning emissions with pool utilization, the protocol can target an optimal TVL for each pool. This will allow for more efficient emissions to truly support protocol volumes with a goal towards overall reduction of emissions.
