Spartan Council and SIP updates
Current on the January 31, 2024 Spartan Council Weekly Undertaking Sync:Spartan Council: Adam, bilby, cyberduck, Jackson, Kain, Millie, ml_sudo, Snax FrensCore Contributors: Afif, Cavalier, David, joey, KALEB, Matt, meb, Mike, Nikita, troy
First up, for our work in progress replace, 900,000 of the $1 million USDC LP cap has been stuffed, and the CCs are actually getting ready the rewards distributor mechanism for STP-14’s USDC LP incentives. No main points have been reported from integrators so it could be time to start out directing merchants in the direction of Base. Kwenta is planning to scale up the invite-only testing section earlier than opening up V3 on Base because the default expertise for all Kwenta merchants. The TLDR right here is mainly that the restricted use at this level is a person onboarding problem slightly than a limitation of what’s at the moment deployed (there may be loads of OI room for merchants that’s not getting used).
As for markets, Perps V3 OI caps are actually $1 million and trades are occurring by 2 integrators. As soon as Perps V3.1 and V3.2 are shipped, OI caps will be dramatically lifted.
Subsequent up, the Spartan Council briefly reviewed the roadmap once more, which we mentioned in final week’s recap. There was additional dialogue on deploying to future chains and creation of SNX app chain. From an offline dialog with Cav, Kain defined a number of the stipulations for deploying to a different chain. The entire level behind the Andromeda launch was to conduct experiments that will inform potential future deployments.
The primary is whether or not there may be any curiosity in LPing USDC, and the second is the buying and selling demand for Synthetix contracts backed by that USDC collateral. Kain stated the massive open query for him is what proportion of lively merchants are from exterior of the Synthetix neighborhood — there are the merchants who’re more likely to be much less involved with the chain that Synthetix is deployed on and the collateral backing the system, and extra involved with the standard of the product).
As soon as the experiments validate whether or not there may be demand for buying and selling, then the Spartan Council and CCs can start to guage what a put up SNX collateral Synthetix ought to seem like. App chain growth can be contingent on Andromeda experiment information. So far as future experiments, there have been quite a few recommendations to deploy to different chains, reminiscent of Arbitrum, and probably experiment with extra dangerous collateral and margin varieties. Adam cautioned that even in an remoted deployment atmosphere, the Synthetix model could be tied to all of those deployments and any points could also be optically damaging for the protocol even when LP threat was contained.
In different dialogue, Duck introduced up the truth that as V3 scales on Base, there will likely be much less demand for sUSD on V2 which can impression the peg. There’s a massive sUSD arbitrage alternative from L1 to Optimism that’s not being effectively closed. Kain stated he was in a position to run the cycle a few occasions and estimates the APY was close to 40%. The massive downside, nevertheless, is that it’s not a straightforward course of, and automating it might require a degree of sophistication that the majority sUSD holders would not have. The CCs are creating an interface to assist with this and there might must be extra incentives from the TC to make it worthwhile for smaller sUSD holders.
There was additionally one SIP presentation final week, SIP-2053 to Listing Jupiter (JUP) on Perps V2. This token launched on February 1st so Kaleb defined that there was no lively buying and selling information on the time of the presentation to help the itemizing, however he expects it can have the identical demand as BONK. This may not go reside till the markets are lively on centralized exchanges, and this asset may also be added to the Threat Management Module within the SCCP configuration.
