PTIP-50: POOL Liquidity Management

For POOL holders, the pPOOL is quite popular. A large portion of the circulating supply is staked and it is the home for some 1900 unique depositors.

That being said the pPOOL has governance issues

  • Not reaching quorum
  • 200k POOL can cast weight of 1 million POOL
  • 4 person multi-sig facilitates the vote

I think we all would like to see these conditions improved. Let’s fire up a thread on how to do so.

The other common issue I notice people attributing to the pPOOL is often referred to as “inflation”. In my opinion this sounds a lot bigger than it is. For perspective, let’s consider selling ALL of the rewards for one month, 6000 POOL. Doing so would currently result in a 4% price impact. Of course not everyone sells, and certainly not at once. It’s not much “inflation” in the grand scheme of things.

I think we all look forward to better governance mechanisms, and bigger use cases for the POOL token. But until we have those I believe it’s imperative to continue to support our long-term aligned participants as they have come to expect.
