SIP updates

Members on the November 21, 2023 SIP presentation:Spartan Council: Adam, Burt, cyberduck, Kain, Millie, ml_sudoCore Contributors: Afif, Cavalier, joey, KALEB, Matt, sunny

SIP-337: Perps V3

As mentioned in earlier weblog posts, this SIP proposes deploying Perps V2 to Synthetix V3 with various characteristic upgrades and improvementsUpgrades embody native cross-margining of positions, multi-collateral margin help, revamped liquidations, and improved deterministic settlement. Let’s assessment what a few of these upgrades will entail:

1. Multi-collateral help

In Perps V3, all synths that the spot market creates will ultimately be enabled as collateralThis is finished in order that it’s simple for the perps market to have liquidity to promote synths when required, and permits it to simply get quotes to find out margin worth

2. Liquidations

Giant positions can be regularly liquidated, one non-sandwichable portion at a time, with a configurable delay between partial liquidationsThis eliminates the MEV sandwich assault vector, holding that worth with the protocol

3. Improved deterministic settlements

Delayed orders in Perps V2 have confirmed extraordinarily efficient in minimizing poisonous movement, nonetheless the main points of the implementation may be improved to supply a extra resilient settlement flowIn Perps V3, the settlement course of ensures that the execution worth is the worth at dedication time and is executed within the accessible window

4. Market construction

Quite a lot of particular person Perps markets can be grouped collectively into a bigger “grocery store”That is to make sure all the danger from every market or collateral kind is appropriately distributed for LPs backing the supermarketThe grocery store can have variables that may be particularly configured for that marketThis could enable markets to be break up up sooner or later primarily based on danger profile and liquidity

5. Staleness tolerance

As we already know, every perps market requires worth informationFrom the buying and selling competitors, it grew to become clear that the price of pushing that information on-chain was very highOptionality was added in order that worth staleness might be made strict for liquidations, for instance, and fewer strict for different transactionsThis will scale back transaction prices total by lowering the quantity of information being pushed on-chain

SIP-348: Allow USDC for Andromeda on Base

This SIP proposes utilizing the V3 spot and wrapper performance to permit customers to deposit USDC for a wrapped model for use as LP collateral or margin for tradingThe proposal particulars the entire V3 configurables for the Perps V3 deployment to Base, together with the enabling of USDC as LP collateralThe deployment to Base can be a brand new market with, probably, a brand new set of customers, so it made sense to launch with USDC help (probably the most broadly used stablecoins in DeFi). Choosing a single collateral kind additionally reduces the complexity of the deploymentThe max market dimension can be roughly $1 million every for BTC and ETH (a conservative cap to start out with, much like the launch of Perps V2)ML_sudo requested what the method could be for including new markets — Afif mentioned the technique would seemingly be much like the V2 rollout (begin with most liquid buying and selling pairs and low OI caps earlier than regularly including new markets and rising caps). He additionally harassed the significance of continuous to construct on the optimistic popularity that the protocol has developed over the previous 12 months for the reason that introduction of PerpsThere was some normal confusion on the council that the SIP appeared to be lacking key particulars in regards to the deployment that had been mentioned beforehand (particularly the payment sharing)Cav clarified that there are a selection of SIPs that can be a part of the Andromeda deployment (SIP-345: SNX buyback and burn and SIP-346: Integrator Price share included)Kain instructed itemizing these as dependencies on this SIP, so Cav is updating it to mirror all dependencies

Matt additionally simply introduced an explainer weblog publish for the Andromeda launch yesterday, which may be discovered right here. The publish discusses some background on Perps V2, what upgrades Perps V3 will carry, the essence of testing in Andromeda, isolation of the Andromeda launch on Base, how success can be measured, what to anticipate for the preliminary rollout, the Andromeda expertise from an LP vs. dealer perspective, and the way forward for Synthetix with Andromeda. Be sure you give the publish a learn!

Ambassador Council

Current on the November 21, 2023 Ambassador Council assembly:Ambassadors: GUNBOATs, Kevin, Mastermojo, Matt, Westie

Lastly, for a fast Ambassador Council replace, the group mentioned potential future integrations and builders, in addition to methods to interact and help present integrators. They then mentioned a framework to verify all tasks within the ecosystem learn about Optimism Grants/Retroactive funding.

The Ambassadors are additionally within the technique of brainstorming an article on how new protocols can leverage V3, in addition to planning out future Spartan Areas. Lastly, the Council created a Synthetix Ecosystem Public Items checklist for Optimism’s RPGF Spherical 3 the place different badgeholders can vote. The tasks on their checklist have put constructing first and have considerably contributed to the expansion of the ecosystem by onboarding builders, tasks, LPs, and merchants.
