Spartan Council and SIP updates

Current on the November 8, 2023 Spartan Council Weekly Venture Sync:
Spartan Council: Adam, Burt, cyberduck, Genefaesius.eth (Gene), Jackson, Kain, Millie, ml_sudo
Core Contributors: Afif, Cavalier, David, joey, jz, KALEB, Leo, Matt, meb, Rafa, Steve, troy

First up, the SIP to deploy V3 on Base is near a Goerli testnet deployment, and the SIP to allow USDC for Andromeda on Base is in draft. The Council additionally had a dialogue in regards to the buyback and burn proposal, with Gene voicing some issues as as to whether the precise method was chosen. Millie knowledgeable the group that, after some analysis, Yearn seems to have already got a contract written that may execute purchases based mostly on the oracle value of SNX. This SIP was really introduced final week, so let’s briefly assessment that:

SIP-345: SNX Buyback and Burn

After paying integrators, this proposes splitting the charges remaining between Base LPs and SNX stakers, the place stakers would obtain the rewards through a buyback and burn mechanism
Charges can be used to buy SNX on the present market value through an already developed Yearn good contract (as talked about beforehand)
Burning would occur periodically as a guide course of
This was picked as a consequence of its low complexity as a take a look at of a possible charge sharing mechanism on Base
Gene is worried {that a} buyback and burn is just not probably the most direct method to distribute worth again to stakers
Millie chimed in including that that is simply the primary of what may very well be many deployments to completely different chains and it turns into very technically difficult to deliver all these earnings again to a single chain
Kain prompt a chance the place the treasury may very well be the one pockets able to promoting SNX, which might slowly deplete treasury holdings over time and additional decentralization aims
There was additionally some dialogue about how this needs to be coordinated with a doable finish to inflationary rewards

Subsequent, audits for 2 key Perps V3 updates are at present in progress, and audit suggestions for L1 Perps is being carried out (the SIP is coming quickly).

In different dialogue, the SC and CCs talked about descoped V3 options. Kain requested for an inventory of any of the promised options in V3 that had been descoped. Cross-margin shall be dwell at launch, however multi-collateral portfolio margin is not going to be out there, as work remains to be in progress to supply assist for extra unstable property (multi-collateral portfolio margin assist is predicted inside a month). The code will nonetheless be going dwell with the V3 launch, however solely with USDC collateral enabled. All the different main options promised in V3 shall be going dwell with the primary V3 launch.

Whereas on the subject of doable future V3 deployments, there was additionally a chat concerning forward-looking partnerships and ecosystem alignment, the place Kain shared some ecosystem developments with the SC. Initially, Optimism deliberate to be a “superchain” L2 that attracted a big portion of the rollup consumer base. The crypto panorama has modified dramatically, and Optimism has shifted to a technique of getting as many OP stack chains deployed as doable. Nevertheless, this shift in technique has modified the incentives they provide as properly.

Firstly, Synthetix hoped to be the premier Perp product on what was alleged to be a well-liked L2. Synthetix’s technique now, because it pertains to the Optimism partnership, might should be reconsidered to optimize protocol worth. It will fall to the Treasury Council to barter, however because the Spartan Council guides protocol enchancment, there must be some dialog between the 2 on the longer-term imaginative and prescient.

Lastly, on high of the buyback and burn presentation, there have been a number of different SIPs introduced final week (all introduced by Burt). So let’s assessment them!

SIP-346: Perps V3 Integrator Incentive

This SIP proposes an integrator charge share mechanism for Perps V3, the place integrators earn a 20% base charge in sUSD from trades executed by a Synthetix Perps integration
The method is pretty simple — integrators would join a monitoring code to trace the markets they’ve deployed and would obtain their 20% first
The hope is that this gives one of the best answer to incentivize scaling of Perps markets as a result of they’ll have a vested curiosity in producing extra quantity

SIP-2035: Checklist TIA on Synthetix Perps

Proposes itemizing TIA on Synthetix Perps
Celestia is an upcoming Cosmos cryptocurrency with a deal with knowledge sampling for different blockchains. It launched on October 17, which gives an early alternative to supply TIA on Synthetix Perps

SIP-2039: Checklist MEME on Synthetix Perps

Proposes itemizing MEME on Synthetix Perps

SIP-2040: Checklist ANKR, FET, GRT on Synthetix Perps

Proposes itemizing Ankr Community, Fetch.ai and Graph Protocol on Synthetix Perps

All of those markets had been chosen based mostly on lively quantity on different exchanges and according to Synthetix’s goal of constant to seize buying and selling quantity from new markets. Itemizing for all three of those SIPs would require Pyth and Chainlink feeds.
