Appreciate your alignment & deep integrations with the Optimism ecosystem as well as the incorporated feedback - especially the lower ask & less focus on DHT - while retaining the qualities of the first proposal, incl. potentially sticky liquidity incentives & good user onboarding efforts.

PS: Just saw that you planned to add 100% co-incentives in your previous proposal but this time only 30% matching Op liquidity mining incentives. In our opinion, that is still a significant contribution and we prefer to see smaller projects do well & contribute to Op growth, rather than overspend on (co-)incentives.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding your proposal:

Excited about the commitment to migrate governance to Optimism

Could you tell me what the $dhpt token represents? Sorry, I haven’t found any information about it.

Regarding the whitelist metrics (eligibility for $Op rewards):
You state: “Criteria likely to include a minimum TVL and/or over a certain age (weeks).”
Could we clarify/define these parameters?
How much exactly is “a certain age”?
What would be the “minimum tvl” to be eligible?
You indicate: “probably”: it would be interesting if you could define exactly what those criteria will be since it affects 70% of the grant

How do you think fostering the op/dht pool would improve the optimism ecosystem?

Hi @Jadmat.Eth-DefiLatam - thanks for the questions.

Going through in order,

  • the $DHPT token is a token representing a share in any specific dHEDGE Pool. For example $DHPT could describe a share in Stablecoin Yield on Optimisim (this pool however has a specific ticker $USDy)

  • Regarding the criteria for a pool to be whitelisted for staking rewards, a dHEDGE Feature Proposal will be posted in governance to clarify the exact criteria. The first proposal is likely to be a minimum TVL of $20k and pool age of at least 30 days, and this will be subject to a governance vote to pass.

  • Regarding incentivizing the OP:DHT liquidity pair, there is currently no deep source of liquidity on Optimism for the DHT token, and this will be required for efficiently operating dHEDGE governance (accruing governance power, utilisation of staking rewards). A fluid dHEDGE governance program on Optimism is important for the health of the protocol.

In favor. Reasons:

  • Unique product category for Optimism
  • Protocol that can be used to build other protocols, such as dynamic vaults, ie. toros.finance
  • Integrations included in dHEDGE for managers help increase volume and TVL of other protocols, meaning as dHEDGE grows, the ecosystem around it grows with it, (ie. Velodrome, Kwenta, Lyra, Uniswap, etc)

So the whitelist refers to the found, not the token holder? In your example, who should be whitelisted would be Stablecoin Yield, is that correct?

It would be interesting if you could add this to the proposal, do you agree?

I agree to the importance of governance; this is linked to the Stake, encourage an lp seems at first sight the opposite; help me understand the idea

Recommendation from Defi Committee C is Yes

Recommendation from the DeFi shadow committee – which is not an official committee – is a conditional yes.

We support this proposal due to signs of specific PMF and the possibility of extending services in a targeted way but have some feedback that would have made it stronger. As it stands, the ask is too vague and discretionary with likely little to show for it in the end.

@Cyrus can you provide a Telegram handle or other contact method so the Optimism team can get in touch about paying out this grant! Feel free to comment on this thread, DM, or email palash@optimism.io

Hi @Cyrus! It’s been a few month since your OP grant was distributed, checking in to see if there is a grant update you could share with the community?

Gm @lavande Happy to share the update from dHEDGE.

The last few months we have been working on building out the infrastructure on the most effective and efficient way to distribute the OP for the investors in the whitelisted dHEDGE pools. Along with the process for dHEDGE Managers to apply to be whitelisted. This distribution is now ready to go and the 70% portion of the grant will begin distribution at the end of January. This will allow us to build a steady stream of content throughout January to amplify and increase awareness of this. EG Tweet Thread
