For the long term –  
I like @carlj’s idea of having 3 years of runway for lender incentives in a degressive model. I tried making a rough draft below:

_How the emissions curve (for lender rewards) could look:_  
Start with current emissions to lenders, decrease emissions by 25% every 90 days ([Google Sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tKdq5-4jultTCybnzstt7Mk93okxSngXFUFAZnFlG9s/edit?usp=sharing))

- today: lenders farm 436k TRU/day
- 1yr from now: 184k TRU/day
- 2yrs from now: ~60k TRU/day
- 3yrs from now: ~20k TRU/day

_How rewards would be split between pools:_  
Let TRU stakers set % of rewards allocated to each pool via allocation points in the staking gauge. Governance may decide to replace manual gauge staking via a performance-based mechanism in the future.

I also support @hal’s idea for incentivizing long-term TRU staking w/ boosted farm rewards. This could be a good mechanism for encouraging lenders to participate in staking and governance as the protocol matures.
