Persistence Proposal 40 (currently live) suggests the next leg of incentives for XPRT Liquidity Bootstrapping (XLB) 🌊 Read more about XLB, incentives to date, progress made so far, and learnings in this new XPRT Incentives Log report here👇🏼

[Persistence Governance Proposal 40] ℹ️ Topic: Next leg of XPRT Liquidity Bootstrapping (XLB) incentives on Dexter and Osmosis 🌐 Proposal links - Keplr, Leap, Mintscan 🗣 Discussion - Persistence Forum Persisters, let’s be sure to vote on Proposal 40 before 28 August 2023 🦾

Launch Sequence Initiated 🚀

[Persistence Forum Discusssion] ℹ️ Topic: Next steps in XPRT Liquidity Bootstrapping (XLB) on Dexter and Osmosis ⚡Tl;dr: Proposal 21 allocated 1M XPRT from the Ecosystem wallet to bootstrap XPRT liquidity on Dexter and Osmosis. So far, 628,700 XPRT tokens (~62.87%) have been used via governance approval. XPRT is back to being one of the most liquid tokens in Cosmos, with an overall 3X increase in liquidity (~$900k+ currently) since the XLB discussion was started. The original goal of Proposal 21 has been achieved 🦾 The newly proposed incentives amount to 2533.3 XPRT per day, a ~50% reduction with three key considerations: 1) Reducing token incentive spend while growing liquidity 2) Striking a balance between staking and LPing XPRT 3) Testing the waters with a 30-day period 🗣️ Let's contribute to XLB by voicing our opinions on the forum discussion, Persisters!

Persistence Proposal 37 has passed on-chain governance ✅ Persistence Community Owned Liquidity (PCOL) is slated to become a new paradigm for projects #BuiltOnPersistence to bootstrap liquidity on @dexter_zone 🦾 dApp Traction 🤝 Ecosystem Alignment 🤝 Community Buy-in

🚨 Persisters Last call for sharing your thoughts on the proposed Persistence Community Owned Liquidity (PCOL) bootstrapping for new pools on @dexter_zone Get involved before an on-chain governance proposal later this week @PersistenceOne 👇🏼

[Forum Discussion] ℹ️ Topic: Persistence Community Owned Liquidity: bootstrap Liquidity Pools on Dexter ⚡Tl;dr: Use 41,000 XPRT tokens (~$10,000) from the Persistence Community Pool to bootstrap the PSTAKE/XPRT pool on Dexter as the first experiment of PCOL. The Liquidity will be bonded on Dexter, and all rewards generated will be sent back to the Community Pool at fixed intervals. For the first time, the Persistence Community will own liquidity, and the community pool will diversify by accumulating tokens other than XPRT. A PCOL system will set a precedent for other projects to bootstrap liquidity on Dexter. The proposed PCOL system aligns the three major aspects of any prospering DeFi Ecosystem: dApp Traction, Ecosystem Alignment, and Community Buy-in 🤝 Let’s be sure to share your thoughts on the forum, Persisters! 🦾

🗣 Forum Discussion:

forum.persistence.one

⚡️Tl;dr of Proposal 23: At Genesis, the Core-1 chain’s block per year was set based on a 5s block time and an inflation halving event every 2 years. Due to the actual on-chain block time being 6s, this event will occur in early August 2023 (~4 months delay). However, the current $XPRT inflation has reached its minimum of 25% quite some time back. Proposed imminent changes in Phase 1 of a larger $XPRT Tokenomics Improvement: 1. Reduce the $XPRT Minimum Inflation to 12.5% from 25% 2. Reduce the $XPRT Maximum Inflation to 25% from 45% 3. Adjust blocks per year to ensure the next halving is ~2 years after (if) the proposal passes 🚨 Persisters, let’s be sure to vote on this significant proposal before 12 May 2023! 🦾
