**The sCoop** ([subscription offer](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/the-scoop-subscription-offer/2323)) _Fresh Owlpha, curated daily._ _ **Owlpha** [ow-ul-fuh] - An Index Cooperative Contributor’s ability to meaningfully contribute, above and beyond what that Owl could achieve alone; “edge”._ _The weekly meetings are just absolutely packed with information and insight into this DAO, but we run through the highlights. DeFriday was canceled last week, and video of the [iROBOT Community Call](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/irobot-community-call/2212) is [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e22Ab-MGO08ZRJRSNuxBm8nRF3dRl39N/view). Product WG meeting closing out the day. Let’s dive in:_ **Weekly Planning Meeting** (47 attendees) [slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14o72lE5QJbqfCdqdxfNJLpdVzI9MME7gVbZXExg8LNo/edit?usp=sharing) **Calls to Action:** [new section, let me know what you think] - POC still looking for some savvy Owls to run a [masterclass](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScBfG283Fnp1p5rJCfVtf7xbcxLB1eb49dUztNRsWdTh2iq0Q/viewform) or be a [buddy](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMc-tF89nT_VBrt7aRYXNDZbQ4-npb9Dpx1BfvSaIfoR_a8w/viewform); - PWG is looking for feedback on [Draft IIP-62](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-62-dpi-eth-liquidity-mining-on-polygon/2185) re Liquidity Mining on Polygon; - The MetaGov crew would like for you to vote to [delegate AAVE](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmZscyNmGiqsmKQE8uiRAZ7ZnoomkapXqukBv16H1JgiU9) so that $DPI can be listed as collateral on v2; - BDWG Looking for engagement on the [Protocol Ambassador Guide](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/protocol-ambassador-guide/2267) role and rewards structure; and, - EWG has asked for support of [Draft IIP-66](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/iip-66-smart-contract-engineer-offer/2279) extending the offer of Smart Contract Engineer to our very own @ncitron. All simple indices have seen unit supply growth over the last week, with some quick napkin-math by @oneski22 in the chat showing that Coop implied revenue is around $3.5MM annual. The advertisement for $DPI in is live on The Defiant Podcast, and website visits are up on the month. The [Autonomy Group](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/formation-of-the-autonomy-kick-off-group/1988) met for the first time and posted [meeting minutes](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/ic-autonomy-kickoff-session-minutes/2277). Next call is tomorrow, August 10. WG Highlights: - The leveraged Indices Pod within PWG is ready to start launching products! As outlined by @afromac it’s easy to do, not based on FLI methodology, and could be up and running as soon as September '21. Building out these in-house capabilities is a credit to this pod and WG, and raises the bar for external methodologists significantly. The initial products suggested: MATIC2x and LINK2x - would love to know more thoughts in the comments! - EWG had a great month and is iterating on hiring a [Head of Smart Contracts](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/hiring-head-of-smart-contracts/2168) and has received initial applications. - Titans of Data have accepted the [Fee Split Offer](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/data-methodologist-fee-split-offer/2276/4) that was presented, DG2 forum post will be up this week, going to [snapshot](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmWBnUfBkD2BaQg1pipWWEAU7PkPfM8zbKtKjPnKr3uqH5) on August 16. - IBWG expressed appreciation for the well-attended first call last week, noting it was great to see that the fledgling WG is shaping up to be more than a splinter of the BDWG. [Wintermute Market Making Proposal](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/proposal-market-making-proposal-from-wintermute-trading/2041) is still kicking around and the [Flipside UNI Delegation](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmPUPcwTsPqjiCoJZRQzMgArN7rfMRKjbMvMnd4XMJhajz) proposal is live in snapshot. An IB\<\>LanguageOps dream-team may be in the works, so stay tuned. - POC are looking to formalize the verticals for People/Organization/Community and @afromac has taken on a deputy-lead role within the POC. @Pepperoni_Joe will be dropping posts soon for Community Management and Governance Secretary roles, as well as updating the POC budget to reflect some of the expanded initiatives. A webinar will be hosted on Wednesday August 11, “Introducing Index Coop” - a public webinar POC are running (promo and registration through twitter). The idea is to record this and replace the redundant context-setting part of the New Joiner call each week. Instead, this webinar will be sent as pre-read. - CDWG has made progress on the 3D cooper with credit given to @earth2travis and reminds everyone to use notion to make [design requests](https://www.notion.so/Index-Coop-Design-Request-Form-9b29efe92a334c87afe7ae7d7874fbc9), as appealing to designers directly may result in ABSOLUTE CHAOS . . . just kidding . . . kind of. **Product WG** (22 Attendees) [slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XCQYBbhuJoy-6qwJ2y_5s6tqNI6oMvHck7rCe54CANo/edit) Product is covered briefly above as well, and in addition to a healthy discussion regarding resources, partnerships, and prioritization there was a lot of excitement about growing in-house capabilities; regardless of whether Automated Indices Pod starts flexing its in-house methodology muscles, being capable of buttering ones’ own bread is worthy of note. @overanalyser could still use some hands in the air for chairing community calls, and it’s worth checking out the post by @catjam re [product onboarding](https://gov.indexcoop.com/t/product-onboarding-process-revamp/2248) if you haven’t already. **Governance / Meta-Governance / Contributor Polls** ([FOR]:[AGAINST] - [QUORUM STATUS] - [END TIME UTC]/[RESULT%]) **Active:** - [IIP-57: Launching iETH-FLI - The Ethereum Inverse Flexible Index](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmcFwGZmzTVR1wG548EDmm2jFDSdCeX6YeDqCgwYwjS9Fh) 0k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [IIP-66: Smart Contract Engineer Offer - Full Time offer](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmUCRe5pNsTen7iVQMwKKGbW16dMGYirSvZMQ4fzmBVYaN) 0k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [IIP-67: Delegate UNI to Flipside for Community-Enabled Analytics](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmPUPcwTsPqjiCoJZRQzMgArN7rfMRKjbMvMnd4XMJhajz) 2k:20k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [IIP-68: Delegate Aave to EOA Address](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmZscyNmGiqsmKQE8uiRAZ7ZnoomkapXqukBv16H1JgiU9) 0k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [IIP-69: Update Funding Council Wallet Signers](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmY3C7qUtdm14ZCivHzRWDzw3UduUgxKmQdJ9iTe4ewCXX) 0k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [IIP-70: Create a Stablecoin Reserve Within the Operations Account](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmWwUL42vgm4qqbD61bUAX54qpmaWmPujtcMtndS54ffxt) 0k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug 12, 2021, 18:00 - [[COMPOUND-55]](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmQwyQXDPrqvCDNE1vymAhzqav5QRAwyag8kcrVUJWssAE) 30k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends August 13, 2021, 15:28 - [[COMPOUND-56]](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmXYWFbY4YsyRffdHB5JSL3KbgjWJPQ3J34LwVRxo2LGLL) 19k:0k - Below Quorum - Ends: Aug13, 2021, 17:01 [[YEARN] YIP-63: Fund Builder-First Legal Activism DAO](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmPZAhAtuZ1L8D8xaibZMgiCz3MxAJi16mDdt87ZstR7FX) 138k:0k - Quorum Achieved - Ends: Aug 10, 2021, 14:00 **Results:** - [IIP-64: Methodologist Smart Contract Permissioning](https://snapshot.org/#/index-coop.eth/proposal/QmVSHoBfYAeqyJ42UoEEQfSCDNBBSBD4MgAvExLwQxyaFQ) 147k:4k - Quorum Achieved - Result: FOR 97.49% **Tuesday Meetings:** (UTC/1-hr, UON) [1400](https://meet.google.com/wao-nvxo-qec) - Institutional Businees WG [1500](https://meet.google.com/xap-nvdb-kjk) - Wizardry (falconry postponed to next week, quidditch practice still on) [1900](https://meet.google.com/vdu-kvqg-iwe) - People, Organization, Community WG (45 mins) [2000](https://meet.google.com/kzt-ndas-aud) - Multi-sig walkthrough (30 mins) **Daily DAOwlpha:** Curious about how to create smart contracts on Ethereum but don’t know where to start?
