Spartan Council and SIP updates

Current on the January 31, 2024 Spartan Council Weekly Venture Sync:Spartan Council: Adam, bilby, cyberduck, Jackson, Kain, Millie, ml_sudo, Snax FrensCore Contributors: Afif, Cavalier, David, joey, KALEB, Matt, meb, Mike, Nikita, troy

First up, for our work in progress replace, 900,000 of the $1 million USDC LP cap has been crammed, and the CCs at the moment are making ready the rewards distributor mechanism for STP-14’s USDC LP incentives. No main points have been reported from integrators so it could be time to start out directing merchants in direction of Base. Kwenta is planning to scale up the invite-only testing part earlier than opening up V3 on Base because the default expertise for all Kwenta merchants. The TLDR right here is principally that the restricted use at this level is a person onboarding challenge relatively than a limitation of what’s at present deployed (there’s loads of OI room for merchants that’s not getting used).

As for markets, Perps V3 OI caps at the moment are $1 million and trades are occurring by 2 integrators. As soon as Perps V3.1 and V3.2 are shipped, OI caps will be dramatically lifted.

Subsequent up, the Spartan Council briefly reviewed the roadmap once more, which we mentioned in final week’s recap. There was additional dialogue on deploying to future chains and creation of SNX app chain. From an offline dialog with Cav, Kain defined a few of the conditions for deploying to a different chain. The entire level behind the Andromeda launch was to conduct experiments that may inform potential future deployments.

The primary is whether or not there’s any curiosity in LPing USDC, and the second is the buying and selling demand for Synthetix contracts backed by that USDC collateral. Kain mentioned the large open query for him is what proportion of lively merchants are from exterior of the Synthetix neighborhood — there are the merchants who’re prone to be much less involved with the chain that Synthetix is deployed on and the collateral backing the system, and extra involved with the standard of the product).

As soon as the experiments validate whether or not there’s demand for buying and selling, then the Spartan Council and CCs can start to guage what a submit SNX collateral Synthetix ought to appear to be. App chain improvement can also be contingent on Andromeda experiment knowledge. So far as future experiments, there have been a lot of solutions to deploy to different chains, akin to Arbitrum, and presumably experiment with extra dangerous collateral and margin varieties. Adam cautioned that even in an remoted deployment atmosphere, the Synthetix model can be tied to all of those deployments and any points could also be optically damaging for the protocol even when LP danger was contained.

In different dialogue, Duck introduced up the truth that as V3 scales on Base, there will probably be much less demand for sUSD on V2 which can impression the peg. There’s a massive sUSD arbitrage alternative from L1 to Optimism that’s not being effectively closed. Kain mentioned he was capable of run the cycle a few instances and estimates the APY was close to 40%. The massive downside, nevertheless, is that it’s not a simple course of, and automating it could require a stage of sophistication that the majority sUSD holders should not have. The CCs are growing an interface to assist with this and there might must be further incentives from the TC to make it worthwhile for smaller sUSD holders.

There was additionally one SIP presentation final week, SIP-2053 to Listing Jupiter (JUP) on Perps V2. This token launched on February 1st so Kaleb defined that there was no lively buying and selling knowledge on the time of the presentation to help the itemizing, however he expects it is going to have the identical demand as BONK. This might not go dwell till the markets are lively on centralized exchanges, and this asset can even be added to the Danger Management Module within the SCCP configuration.
