The BTC and ETH OI caps are at $15 million. As beforehand talked about, OI caps are restricted by obtainable LP collateral and are presently the very best they are often with out further LPs. Although the capability is there, the utilization of obtainable OI by merchants is comparatively low.

Subsequent, the migration from L1 SNX to V3 is predicted to be prepared inside the subsequent couple of weeks. The SIP for the legacy market is prepared for launch and the synth deprecation SIP is reaching a gentle state.

However one of many ideas, for the SNX staker portion, was to ship that portion of the payment to Base to be included within the buyback and burn that’s taking place now. There might be a SIP drafted to put out the method for payment sharing and distribution.

Subsequent, the SIP to convey elections on chain is in audit and is prepared for a presentation. Some CCs are engaged on crosschain messages utilizing Wormhole for the implementation of the modular cross-chain election system SIP, and the testing section will begin this week.
