PTIP-68: OTC Settlement for Ondo <> Fei LaaS Program
Simple Summary
Now that the Ondo <> Fei LaaS vaults have come to maturity, PoolTogether needs to rebalance the position with Ondo and receive back our POOL. Since the price of POOL went down during the program the protocol will receive back more POOL and need to send USDC to Ondo. This proposal would send 350,559.66 USDC to Ondo, the Ondo team will send back 307,693.06 POOL to the PoolTogether treasury (93,639 more than originally provided). In addition, the protocol has already received 67,828.55 TRIBE tokens from the program.
Abstract
With PTIP-50, the community approved $1.5m of POOL to be deployed into Ondo + Fei’s Liquidity as a Service (LaaS) program, where FEI was deployed in the fixed-rate position and POOL was deployed in the variable rate position. Now that the vaults have matured, PoolTogether has opted to settle with Ondo <> Fei OTC to avoid an on-chain rebalance of POOL to Fei which would incur significant slippage.
To avoid needing to rebalance on the market with low liquidity, this proposal seeks to settle the debt and bring the Ondo <> Fei LaaS program to a close, for now.
Specification
Overview
In order to receive the 307,693.06 POOL held within Ondo’s smart contracts now that the program has concluded, PoolTogether needs to settle the 350,559.66 USDC debt.
Rationale
When PoolTogether deployed POOL into the LaaS program, 214,000 POOL was allocated to the variable-rate position. Fei Protocol provided 1,134,200 FEI in the fixed-rate position, with a hurdle of 5.13% APY to be satisfied at maturity.
Community members can review the FEI POOL OTC Settlement terms for a breakdown of the difference in FEI and POOL tokens now that the program has concluded.
The settlement terms highlight the difference in FEI + POOL at the conclusion of the program, where PoolTogether has an additional 93,693.06 POOL tokens, which are valued at $278,268.38 given today’s prices ($2.97 at time of writing). The DAO also received 67,828.55 TRIBE valued at $34,850.85 given today’s prices ($0.513808 at time of writing). Taking these amounts into account, the net cost to the protocol is roughly $37,440.43 when POOL and TRIBE is taken into consideration along with the senior position hurdle.
Settling directly with Ondo will prevent further sell pressure on the POOL token, which would happen if POOL were exchanged for FEI directly on-chain.
I spoke with Gabriel Bianconi from Ondo and reached an agreement on these terms. Upon execution of this PTIP, Ondo will send the 307,693.06 POOL back to the protocol treasury.
