$REGEN Tokenomics Working Group
Transcript
https://otter.ai/u/4zE-QeLlLS7sHbnpcTIvltn26uo?view=summary
Brandon Kelly discussed a defi strategy involving concentrated liquidity with ETH and REGEN on the Base chain, emphasizing the benefits of active monitoring and low-maintenance practices. He highlighted the importance of accurate ETH pricing and cross-chain liquidity, noting that Celo's ETH pricing discrepancies and low volume hinder its utility. Kelly proposed using 2% liquidity bands to support market stability and accumulate REGEN, stressing the need for community participation. Gregory Landua suggested integrating liquid staking tools like Stride to enhance liquidity and demand. The meeting concluded with a discussion on potential collaborations with Ethereum and the importance of aligning liquidity strategies with market demands.
Action Items
Experiment with providing concentrated ETH-REGEN liquidity on Uniswap.
Follow up with project lead Dave about the automated Twitter account issues.
Outline
Ether Liquidity and Active Monitoring
- Brandon Kelly discusses the importance of recycling assets like Osmo, Celo, and USDC to deepen liquidity with ether, the most volatile asset.
- He emphasizes the need for active monitoring and resetting bands as needed to maintain a low-maintenance system.
- Brandon explains the benefits of concentrated liquidity, which creates a better trading environment for arbitrageurs and ecosystem participants.
- He highlights the importance of transparency in presenting liquidity pools and fee farming to ensure market health and stability.
Base Chain Advantages and Cross-Chain Liquidity
- Brandon Kelly argues that the base chain is optimal for the eth strategy due to higher volume and accurate eth pricing.
- He notes that Celo's wrapped eth has a price discrepancy and low volume, making it less suitable.
- The discussion includes the benefits of cross-chain liquidity and REGEN markets on Sello, which provide arbitrage pathways.
- Brandon reiterates the importance of base chain for user experience and trading activity scaling.
Inverse Provisioning and Defi Strategy
- Brandon Kelly introduces the concept of inverse provisioning, betting on REGEN appreciation versus eth.
- He explains that this strategy is higher risk but important to note.
- The discussion shifts to the objective of acquiring as much REGEN as possible with minimal capital, using market data to guide decisions.
- Brandon emphasizes the hands-on learning and defi mechanics involved in this strategy.
Community Activation and Eth Acquisition
- Speaker 1 asks about acquiring eth for the strategy, and Brandon Kelly suggests using tiny capital to supply an eth position on Uniswap.
- Brandon describes this as a community activation exercise to get people involved in defi and REGEN.
- He explains that people can sell eth for other assets, convert them back to eth, and place them with REGEN for a more active position.
- The conversation includes the potential for LP Dow to deploy eth in this strategy to support liquidity.
Setting Up Liquidity Pools
- Mark DeRugeriis asks about setting up liquidity pools, and Brandon Kelly explains the process on Uniswap.
- Brandon details creating a full range and concentrated 2% band liquidity pool, emphasizing the importance of market price.
- He provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a liquidity pool, including setting custom ranges.
- The discussion includes the challenges of calculating APR and the need for continuous provisioning to maintain liquidity.
Defi Strategy and Market Support
- Brandon Kelly explains the defi strategy of providing liquidity below market price to support REGEN and eth trading.
- He highlights the benefits of concentrated liquidity, which allows for better trade execution and market support.
- The conversation includes the potential for community members to participate in this strategy.
- Brandon emphasizes the importance of experimenting with defi to understand its mechanics and benefits.
Liquidity Staking and Market Demand
- Gregory Landua suggests integrating liquid staking tools like Stride to maintain staking and governance while freeing up liquidity.
- Brandon Kelly agrees, noting the importance of matching liquidity with market demand.
- The discussion includes the potential for liquid staking to increase demand and utility for REGEN.
- Gregory emphasizes the need for a unified strategy that matches increases in liquidity with increases in demand.
Parable of Rain and Liquidity Management
- Gregory Landua uses the parable of rain to explain the importance of managing liquidity and inventory.
- He describes the challenges of too much volume and velocity without proper management, leading to market crashes.
- The conversation includes the need for a well-gardened landscape to ensure liquidity is recycled and reused effectively.
- Gregory emphasizes the importance of precise language in discussing liquidity, inventory, and velocity.
Collaboration with Ethereum and REGEN Certs
- Gregory Landua discusses the collaboration with Ethereum to bring REGEN's data and claims management to the Ethereum ecosystem.
- He highlights the importance of building a funding pathway for talented engineers and product people.
- The conversation includes the potential for REGEN to provide an SDK for building a REGEN certs and claims engine on Ethereum.
- Gregory emphasizes the need for alignment and collaboration to bring value to the growing Ethereum ecosystem.
Final Thoughts and Next Steps
- Brandon Kelly summarizes the defi strategy and its benefits for the community.
- He emphasizes the importance of community activation and learning defi mechanics.
- The conversation includes the potential for formalizing the strategy and the challenges of liquid staking.
- Gregory Landua and Brandon Kelly discuss the next steps and the importance of continued collaboration and experimentation.
