Feedback requested on proposed Q3 2022 Governance Measures

It’s not tough to figure out:

  1. defi is risky and your money is doing something. Governance is not risky and your money is not doing anything. You get paid more for doing nothing than something - 99% of humans will always opt for the less risky and higher return option. It’s just common sense.

  2. I suggest make rewards for LPs higher especially on popular high trade frequency pools. This will incentivize users to bring in more liquidity and then ultimately high net worth individuals/institutions can feel safe and at ease in making high volume swaps on the DEX, they can sleep in peace knowing there is sufficient liquidity.

So decrease governance rewards and increase LPs on DEX rewards.

And focus on having 1 top notch DEX like tinyman, instead of fragmenting liquidity thru multiple DEX.

Like Uniswap is to ETH ecosystem,
Tinyman should be to Algo ecosystem.

its not on the foundation to declare one DEX the “Uniswap of Algorand”, competition will make the DEXs need to innovate and that is good. DEX aggregators help with the problem of fragmented liquidity (vestige is supposed to bring one out very soon that doesnt require one to hold their token to gain like ~75% combo gain, Defly is already out)

Thanks to the Foundation for the proposals and everyone sharing their opinions and ideas. I support Measure 2 as is, but I have a comment about Measure 1.

The DEXs determine the % of pool fees they distribute. As part of the proposal, I would ask that DEXs commit (and Foundation confirms) to 100% distribution of DEX trading fees to LPs during the governance period. Since we are asked to subsidize fees with the goal to grow liquidity pools, we should make certain all the fees go to the LP.

It might not be algorands foundations job, but they definitely seem to favor/support a few projects more than others… so might as well support and make tinyman the number 1 DEX - it will be a win for all.

Also, the developers of tinyman and Pera wallet overlaps. - this is a solid team who are passionate in building.

where did they favor projects or specifically tinyman more than others?

Since we are asked to subsidize fees with the goal to grow liquidity pools, we should make certain all the fees go to the LP.

but that is the only revenue for the DEXs? why should they not get a small cut for what they did? they only take like 0.05% of the fees and leave the rest (0.25%) for LP providers, that is enough and shouldnt be changed just for the governancen period imo

Many people commented on the spirit of the proposal.

Adding my 2 cents, I agree that governance/DeFi is currently a bit unbalanced in favour of the former, and we can see it in TVL (total DeFi TVL is 210m$ despite including a huge amount of stablecoins and total DEX TVL is around 25m$, while governance TVL is 1.2B$!).

Also, I noticed that some people argue that DeFi doesn’t need it because it is doing pretty well now without being subsidized. Actually, it is significantly subsidized right now (via other, less sustainable means) and can barely compete.

But mostly, I want to focus on technical aspects here:
The proposal only talks about LP tokens on AMM DEXes. How is it going to work with other DeFi protocols? Very generally, there are 2 kinds of protocols:

  • Ones which tokenize your positions, you deposit funds and receive tokens which represent your position. The most obvious example is DEXes which give LP tokens, but there are others, e.g. most synthetic derivatives protocols work similarly.
  • Ones which use local storage to save info about your position. For example, in yield farming protocols, you can stake your LP tokens and continuously receive rewards. The amount of staked tokens will be saved in a smart contract, so you will be able to unstake later.

In Cometa, we are building both: Yield Farming which uses local state and LaaS, which will tokenize staked ALGO positions with tokens minted by the LaaS smart contract.

Now, after reading this proposal and interpreting naively, I feel like we are going to miss out. People are not going to use our services without additional incentives because they will not receive governance rewards for it.

To be fair, it is not changing the situation much, many great protocol designs, including LaaS cannot be competitive without additional incentives now and will not going to be after the implementation of this proposal.

So basically, this proposal just kicks the can down the road: DeFi was unable to compete “fairly” against governance, and now DEXes will be able, but not other DeFi projects.

Are there any plans to make this mechanism more general to be more inclusive for all DeFi projects, not just DEXes?

P.S. Honestly, from an economic perspective, it would be better to simply reduce governance incentives. It is just too much. It creates a lot of inflation and forces people to participate in governance just to avoid inflation. I feel like it is probably not going to happen, unfortunately.

TL;DR: it is a welcomed change, but implementation should be fair and inclusive.

I still do not understand the need to cut the gov rewards to help DEFI.

Let DEFI double dip (get gov rewards AND their LP rewards). Then it would be more rewarding to be a LP and gov, then only one of those. More govs will reduce the rewards naturally, just because LP will now get a share too.

Why is double dipping not enough for DEFI? Why still need to cut the rewards for the ones, only wanting to do gov? Why not cut gov in multiple reward tiers for xgov and normal gov or something instead?

I have read many points and do understand he idea behind helping DEFI out (I myself still think, that their are better solutions, but hell, maybe Im wrong, who knows). But having DEFI double dip and reducing the rewards for everyone else seem greedy and morally problematic in my view.

Maybe someone can enlighten me?

i copied this from a response from me on reddit:

“Assume only 2 passes, then as far I understand it people in LPs would just get normal rewards for their ALGOs. LP tokens consist of like 50% ALGO and 50% sth else, that means they would get Governance rewards for 50% of their LP value, so around 3.5% APR for their LP tokens. Impermanent Loss and the risk of the other asset loosing value against ALGO are def higher than the 3.5% extra APR they would get imo”

But wouldnt they not get 3.5% APR on top of the LP rewards - hence a net + of 3.5% rewards for the risk that should be already profitable without the gov rewards?

Second - if they only hold 50% Algo, they should get only the APR for the Algo, I dont see a problem with that.

The question is, is 3.5% APR + LP Rewards enough to provide LP?

If not - than I do not know, how DEFI wants to survive in the long run, as the foundation cant prob them up forever.

But thank you, for your reply, its better to have more viewpoints, then only ones own.

yeah thats what the foundation understood most people wanted only give rewards for ALGOs committed to Gov and thats why they get “only” the additional 3.5%

the thing is for DEXs with their current AMM model they wont survive in the long run. thats why Uniswap V3 for example was introduced as a more efficient way to use liquidity. Additionally, normally DEXs offer farming in some way where the LP providers get their own Gov token, but thats not implemented by any of the DEXs on Algorand (many say because of the bear market and the problems coming with that when launching a new token) so they rely pretty much on the Aenas rewards for now to help with incentives

Well, thanks again for clearing stuff up.

I have nothing against having the LPs be part of the gov with their Algo (hence submission b). For the other one, with extra rewards, I dont know. I understand, that there seems to be a problem with the DEFI protocols/platforms, but that would be the job of said platform to fix/repair. Or ask for a development grant or something.

With a grant, at least there is a little control, that the funds will be used for the needed developement, other than with “unsupervised” gov rewards.

I have nothing against grants for dApp developments - more over, I wish for a lot of grants for usefull and good projects, but fixing this with a bonus from the gov does not seem right for me, even so, I do understand the problem better now.

the thing is implementing more efficient stuff needs time since you cant copy paste EVM projects to Algorand. so they offer the normal AMM model such that DEFI on Algorand is not dead for a long time and useable. while their V1 runs they can hopefully build exciting stuff to bring DEFI on Algorand to another level

Oh, I understand that development takes time (as I myself am working on source code daily). I also do understand the problem at hand (in part thanks to your clarifications).

Though Im still not confinced on a) as a solution. b) seems fine for me, even without DEFI having problems, as I think, having use cases for Alos locked in gov is a nice idea.

The problem I have with a) as a solution for the “bad” current DEFI implementations is, that there doesnt seem to be a check that the money is used to develop a solution. I have no problem, to have gov rewards cut and given a grant for projects in need, that will enforce development or other solutions, but not a free for all token distribution model. I saw to many invested projects buying lambos and ho***er for the invested money.

Crypto proposed itself as trustles. If there is a problem and a need in the ecosystem, it should be handled with a controlled and productive toolset.

But at least, I can now live better, when I lose my vote against a) :smiley:

Feel free to keep arguing, if you think, that Im wrong in my final verdict or I miss some points :slight_smile:

Regarding proposed Measure 2, to allow DEX users to participate in governance, there was a general agreement in this forum’s feedback that criteria for eligible Liquidity Pool tokens have to be as objective as possible. As published one week ago in the governance platform, they have been set as follows:

The initial list will include pools that had a balance of at least 10,000 ALGOs as of August 15 2022. The foundation will publish a list of eligible pools at least one day before the voting session.

The pools are reported below. We got already some feedback from users and platforms, we are publishing here to allow everyone to have a look and provide feedback and comment, on the list and on the process for community-driven updates/changes in criteria if the measure is approved. In the meanwhile thanks for the incredible discussion, full of many hints for the future of the platform and its decentralized governance.

first idea: maybe one should not only check the balance of the pools but also the trading volume over some timeframe to see if the pools are actually being used and therefore incentivizing more liquidity for the pools would make sense

for example the gALGO3-ALGO pool is not liquidity that should be incentivized imo because you can simply burn you gALGO3 1-1 on folks and one can see that the trading volume is pretty much non existent of the last couple of weeks

About 18 months ago I bought a 2000 ALGO and ADA.
Both projects seemed interesting and the APY was a nice incentive.

On Monday we’re voting on governance of this project.
The problem is I don’t even understand the two measures I’m voting on.
I don’t know anything about Algorand DeFi or even understand the terms DEX, LP, and TVL.

Real life is very busy for me and I don’t really want to spend what little free time I have researching the Algorand eco system.
Especially when I have such a small investment.
It’s bad enough trying to remember to stake the tokens and vote.

To be honest all this governance has had a negative impact on my support of the project.
Once the price reaches $1, I’m going to sell all my ALGO.
I understand if your reading this and think “Good riddance”.

Morally, I shouldn’t be voting on Monday.
On the other hand I didn’t choose change the incentive model from simply holding to actively participating in the governance programme.

How many other ALGO holders are there like me?

If you are stressing about the impact of your vote not being informed, then I’d recommend using Folks Finance for governance as they do not require you to cast a vote to participate using their liquid governance. I can understand your confusion, when researching a new project there are a lot of things to consider. I hope you’ll take the time in the future to learn these terms as they are not unique to Algorand. If you have questions about governance specifically, or the varying ways you can participate in the future, the Algorand community is very happy to offer up non-financial advice. I also hope you understand that participation in governance is not mandatory. There are plenty of ways to use or hold your Algos. Id recommend checking out Home - Algorand Ecosystem , as a great resource to find projects on the Algorand blockchain that you may be interested in. In any case, I hope you continue your education and stick it out with us. Cheers.

Thank you averagezen, I really appreciate your answer.
