Discontinue MAGIC Arbitrum Nova LP mining HOP rewards

🐰Hop Ecosystem
1

Unecessary selling pressure (214.33 HOP / day), useless incentive (who tf bridges to Nova in MAGIC…?).

2

Who’s responsible for managing that incentive stream? Was it introduced through a specific DAO-elected body, or how was it established?

3

It was established under HIP-29.

4

Hop Protocol provide ~12k HOP per month across the two pools as incentives to the community…

There wasn’t a specific budget or timeline for those incentives? Seems like a big oversight if there wasn’t and we should either vote to stop that stream, or at the very least reassess it.

There was indeed no timeline for the incentives, and the common feedback was to initially bootstrap them rather than implement them on a permanent basis. RFC | MAGIC Fast Bridging Support - #14 by cwhinfrey

Yeah, I think that’s something that should be discussed on Wednesday’s call. cc @francom
Also good opportunity to see if there are other such initiatives running that we need to look into again.

Thanks for bringing this up @Frozond and @Sinkas! This topic was discussed in yesterday’s community call and the cost to keep things as-is at the moment seems marginal compared to the cost of dev hours to implement this change. Additionally, Authereum Labs mentioned v2 will likely change liquidity mining so it might be a mute point.
