1. I think this gets complicated for casual holders either way as we will be running a fairly complex experiment alongside multiple farming options (alpha, sushi, index farm). Feels like the trade-off is to simplify the contracts and have no risk backstop but lock DPI, or to simplify the options and have a clear reward structure by way of risk backstop and a defined reward for staking.
My intention is to try and simplify things for users, and to reduce their gas use:
INDEX holders get to stake once and can leave it staked.
DPI holders can not do anything
DPI:ETH LP’s can no do anything.
With current gas prices, I’m seeing reluctance for many users to do anything (I think re-using the 30 day LP contract will retain many of the smaller LP’s as they need to do nothing for another 30 days).
I also thing we would get caught in a trap between long durations being unattractive, but short durations being gas intensive. We could end up with only a few whales staking DPI. - We would get AUV locked, but I would prefer to involve everyone equally.
It would mean that it’s the coop and INDEX stakers doing all the work and getting all the rewards.
Long term, I would like to generate enough intrinsic income that we can full subsidise the streaming fee i.e. DPI holders pay nothing. (I suspect that a positive return to DPI, could be pushing us towards becoming a security - zero fees for holding should help AUV.).
2. Wouldn’t we go by the votes you held here? The most popular was fixed per DPI per day or pool of 5000 INDEX
Yes, I think our understanding of the sticky ness of DPI has evolved (and we need to work on more analytics), and I think that trying to write all the contracts for a specific lock in date would become a challenge (unless we recruit more Devs).
I know that there are lots of people wanting to see streaming fees going to INDEX stakers, I just feel that incentivising with INDEX is better for the current position as we have INDEX tokens to hand. I also think the code is simpler.
We could allocate a fixed INDEX daily rate to be shared amongst INDEX stakers.
3. Same as above, the consensus was around 30-50%
4. Is this purely for the rewards?
re removing DPI, I’m talking about how much of the tokens in the DPI treasury should be moved into the farm.
5. cCOMP makes sense as high yield low risk starting point
