Title: MVI Liquidity Migration to Uniswap v3 with Staking
Status: Withdrawn
Author: @overanalyser
Created: 12th September 2021
Simple Summary
To encourage LP’s to migrate MVI:ETH liquidity from Uniswap v2 to v3 using a short term v3 staking contract.
Liquidity mining incentives for MVI:ETH on Uniswap v2 are due to end on the 19th September. This proposal will allocate 700 INDEX to incentivise LP’s to move into the v3 pool.
Abstract
Use a new Uniswap v3 staking contract and add 700 INDEX to be used over 30 days. Start date TBC, but anticipated ~27th September to allow LP’s time to migrate.
Motivation
$MVI launched with a 90 liquidity mining campaign targeting $5 M Liquidity in the Uniswap V2 pool. This campaign has been largely successful, although liquidity AUM dropped as low as $2.48 M in June, recovering to $7 M as of the time of writing.
This pool currently benefits from liquidity mining with 3,286 INDEX allocated over 30 days. At $50 this is a $5,500 cost per day and pays the LP’s ~ 28% annualised. This is an unsustainable cost for INDEXcoop.
With increased daily trade volumes (~$1 M per day), and a Uniswap v3 pool developing it is possible to repeat the process used for DPI in IIP-65 and encourage LP’s to migrate to Uniswap v3.
Note, when there was a delay in refilling the v2 LM rewards in August, we saw liquidity and volume move to Uniswap v3 without incentives. See here for more info on MVI liquidity in August.
Calculations
700 INDEX at $50 over 30 days would be ~$1,166 per day and would represent an average 21% annualised income for LP’s. This would cost the INDEXcoop $35,000 (+ Dev work to implement).
Note, If all the current main net MVI trade went via the v3 pool, and remained at ~$1 M daily, it would add a further 55% income for LP’s.
Success Criteria
The objective would be for the v3 pool to have better depth than the current v2 pool (trades upto $36,000 with less than 1% price impact)
