[Request for comment] AMM and Bonder Liquidity Incentives

[Sisyhpos]

Hi team!

@dybsy

important to note the removal of the DAI incentives further to this discuss re collaboration with Maker vis-a-vis their Teleport bridge: Discussion: Maker Teleport - #3 by david-mihal .

As pointed out, it seems it’s still early to say whether an DAI bonder is still required or not. If it is, I would suggest DAI get’s added to the list again (as it was in this post).

Also, allocation resembles volume stats which makes me think there is an opportunity to also consider this following post as well, and have a weighted average (TBD what the golden ration would be, but we could iterate starting with a 70-30):

Instead, we should think of these subsidies as a way to accelerate growth across all of Hop’s markets (especially new ones) and support the markets that are not yet self-sufficient.

In favour of measuring the impact of incentives one liquidity providing. It may be hard though to drive insights, as context is very dynamic and impactful (“is there a bear sentiment ruling the market”, “are there new USDC regulations”, “another bridge got hacked last week”, what have you). Not to say metrics are not needed, but rather to size expectations on having definitive results.
