[RFC] PTBR-15: G9 Software Inc. <> PoolTogether

@taliskye @underthesea I’m not trying to avoid answering your questions; I’m trying to keep the conversation streamlined so that we don’t go too deep into any particular topic. I think we broadly agree on the direction to go, the tactics of getting there can be discussed in more detail on-the-fly.

This vote is critical to allow GS to continue operating, so I wanted to keep it moving along.

That being said, if the questions are going to swing votes then I’m happy to answer them! I’ll go through them one-by-one.

Yes; that’s the goal but it’s very complicated. Think of wETH prizes as a step in that direction. For more background and rationale please read this post.

GS will determine a recommendation but the DAO can have the final say on what that number is.

There are clear contenders such as Witnet and an upcoming Chainlink deployment, but we’re still working on the best strategy.

It is, but it was clear that people needed to see it here.

Yes; of course. I’m not sure if I’m interpreting this question properly?

The bounty will be made live after the audit.

It’s up to the community to decide. How about a Snapshot vote? Reimburse a member that creates the vaults (like Lonser). We’ll put the vaults into a list and pop them into the UI.

The launch script will work with any chain that has identical RPC interface to Ethereum and EVM-equivalence. I can’t promise it will work on all chains; that’s out of scope. For sure it’ll work for the promised chains above.

The community will decide on the vaults. We want to make sure there aren’t any perceived roadblocks to growth.

Yes, we’re open to continuing to host. I hope that was clear in the PTBR! 4 years is a very long time, however. I assumed we’d stick to quarterly-ish cadence.

It became evident that using POOL for the prize asset would require a significant amount of coordination in terms of liquidity, and require us to build custom mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. The shorter, easier, path is to use a highly liquid asset.

There are trade-offs. pWETH is gas-heavy and adds risk to the prize asset. wETH is highly composable and highly liquid.

No, the calculation is more nuanced than that. It’s based on the reserve shares.

The community will launch vaults; I believe this has been made clear. We want to allow the DAO to proceed with whatever vaults it wants. An example of this is Lonser launching the Dai vault, and I know something is brewing around another vault as well.

If no one is hosting Cabana.fi, then users will need to use Pooltime. The code for Cabana is fully open source, however, so it’s not gone by any means. Is that what you were asking?

Keep the questions coming! If anyone has any critical questions then please ask and let’s get them resolved.
