Example:-
I have 100K in $USD some veCRV and veVelo.
Case 1 : Existing veToken holder
- Curve - As a existing holder of veCRV, I will get reward depending on the amount I hold and how I vote.
- Velo - same as above
Case 2 : New user
- Curve - I can use 100K $USD to acquire more CRV, lock it to get more veCRV. My voting power increase resulting in more reward and my principle amount is locked in form new veCRV.
Velo - Same as above, + I will get some % of my principle money back in form of $OP as mentioned in the proposal for buying and locking $VELO. We have seen that lock bonus varybut could possibly reach up to $1.3 in $OP for $1 independing on amount locked in that specific epoch but even If I take an average of80%30% return then at the end of epoch I will back$80K back30K in form of $OP airdropped as a reward.
So basically, we are paying users to buy protocol native token which is not the case with Curve. Hope this example provide more context from my side.
I am not trying to create a distinction, its clearly mentioned in the proposal.
Thank you for this, Katie. I would like us to continue this conversation during coming Reflection period.
