One reason I’m against rushing into this decision is that we’re very well positioned to become one of the most trusted DeFi assets. The faster we move and the more layers you add between the underlying base asset by staking and lending out assets, the higher likelihood of eroding this trust, brand and narrative of being a “boring” asset. Harvest had over $1B TVL and just got exploited due to them not completely understanding how Curve works, so can’t use capital as a proxy for how safe smart contracts are. This would shift DPI from a passively managed product to a higher risk actively managed one.
Had some additional thoughts I’ll put in another post that can potentially achieve this goal of generating yield and additional fees to the coop, without pivoting the DPI’s brand/narrative or cannibalizing DPI through launching another product
