ok, Sorry for the technical issues on Thursday.

Slide deck is here:

> **[DPI product call 07jan21](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ioQZyGoF_rB1a-KCXYHw9-j4QHD_QoPGrtcGUlwQApk/edit?usp=sharing)**

> $DPI product call Intrinsic productivity 07 January 2021

I’ve added some notes to a couple of slides at the end of the deck: also below:

…

Felix: What is our product strategy?

- Most Liquidity
- More integrations
- Fees (low cost grow AUV - but less sensitive during bull market)\*
- Good brand
- Low risk
- How useful is it

Lemonade: Is intrinsic productivity the most important thing to increase AUV?

- Should we be spending INDEX on this now?

DFC: Is intrinsic productivity too complex to do now?

- Is implementing IP for coinshares simpler (large proportion of ETH) better, ~3 months after launch to allow AUV to stabilise
- TradFi customer may be more price sensitive (re rebate on streaming fees)

Verto: Do we need index staking?

- Noted that index staking is a good marketing tool for coop
- Makes INDEX productive

Lemonade - I wouldn’t want native yield (“A little Ponzi like” ), much prefer DPI as income.\*

…

\*Lemonade - Should we bundle insurance with DPI?

Could get cover for 20% of the fund collapse (i.e. the value of a single component), in return for 2% premium.

Overall arguments against doing intrinsic productivity now:

- Delay for coin shares roll out
- Dev time
- Too early
- Need $DPI staking to control risk.
