  • KIP-26 to extend leadership team powers has passed. [4:00m]

Proposals Pending [5:00m]

  • The Treasury Charter aims to create a framework for guiding the direction and vision of the treasury.
  • The Establish a Testing Wallet KIP will allow the team to internally test the protocol with live stablecoin funds, but not expose the treasury to directional market risk.
  • A Bancor Proposal seeks to withdraw liquidity from Bancor, and instead utilize different strategies such as Tokemak.
  • The Non-Core Asset Discretion Proposal gives the team the flexibility to manage assets worth <$100k without requiring cumbersome governance processes.

  • The Treasury Charter is the highest priority for review by the community and Sophons. [13:30m]
  • Please provide feedback for the Treasury & Protocol Dashboard via the Requests Sheet.
  • A plan is being developed to improve ROOK liquidity through the use of a Tokemak Reactor and further deposits to Uniswap and Sushiswap. [17m]
  • Currently, 45% of liquidity for ROOK is on centralized exchanges, and the remaining liquidity is fragmented across decentralized AMMs.
  • Balancer is another venue to explore for improving liquidity, but given the fact that liquidity has already been seeded to Uniswap and Sushiswap, bootstrapping another pool is challenging. [20m]
  • Whether any existing pool is being used as an oracle price feed should be considered before action is taken to pull liquidity from a DEX. [26-30m]
  • The ETH Deployment Execution Plan is underway, with the team looking to potentially take advantage of discounts available to ETH staking derivatives if an opportunity arises. [29m]
  • The Stablecoin Matrix compares the risk of various stablecoin strategies. The team and community discussed whether the increase in yield is worth the risk of deployment. [33m]
  • Strategies related to the upcoming CVX unlock will be discussed next week. [42m]
