Simple Summary

Currently the weekly supply increase of YFI is 30,000 per week. Vote under proposal #0 is if more YFI tokens should be minted.

I’m voting “FOR” on proposal #0 16 as continuous incentivization of LPs is important for growth of the platform. Most of reasons are the same with proposal 5.

More Reasons:

  1. The YFI mining will be end in 3 days, while the whole crypto community needs more time to understand this complex mechanism. In such a short period of time, YFI cannot generate an effective market pricing.
  2. To stop the YFI mining will instantly result to a huge amount remove of the liquidity, this will be a huge negative to the YFI price because of the decreasing of fee rewards.

This is a proposal for reducing the weekly issuance rate with a model the same as BTC. Two months is enough to educate the crypto community while finishing the YFI generate event.

The pros of the bitcoin halving model:

  1. Halving every week is quite easy to be understood in the crypto community, and effective.
  2. Easy to make memes of YFI - “ YFI is the Bitcoin in Defi ” for virus spreading.
  3. Enough time for the markets to reach the equilibrium. (liquidity provider’s YFI revenue is halved every week while taking the same risks, will result in a steady change in liquidity)

Modeling of 3 Pools

Model

In summary. If proposal #0 passes the issuance model should be altered as described above.

FOR: Support the new issuance model.

AGAINST: Do not support the new issuance model.
