Subsequent up, in core system updates, SIP-323 to undertake an “s” prefix for Synthetix V3 asset tickers has been accepted by auditors. Take a look at this hyperlink for a technical spec clarification doc that explains extra particulars in regards to the modifications this SIP will carry.

The SIP for the cross-chain election module can be in audit — the CCs will start processing suggestions this week as their major focus has been the testnet competitors up till now.

The workforce additionally mentioned the V3 migration, because the legacy market audit fixes are being finalized and carried out. Following the testnet competitors, the present plan is to do a restricted Mainnet alpha launch with Perps as the primary stay take a look at for related V2 and V3 techniques. General, the plan remains to be to have a progressive migration, permitting customers emigrate because the incentives change.

In different dialogue, ML_sudo is engaged on a template to check the V3 tokenomics proposals. Throughout the assembly, Duck additionally requested in regards to the reward distributor design, which permits charges generated to be distributed to SNX stakers. With the bottom deployment solely supporting ETH collateral, Duck questioned how charges for Base exercise could be distributed to stakers on Optimism or ETH Mainnet and if that must be thought-about within the design of V3.

Millie introduced up the truth that different protocols have adopted a fractured staking mannequin, which limits liquidity availability on many chains. He agrees that charges ought to accrue to stakers no matter what chain they’re on. Noah defined that, by default, charges generated on a sequence could be deposited into the market supervisor, which would cut back debt for the LPs supporting that market. They will, nevertheless, be despatched to the rewards distributor, which might distribute them throughout a number of chains if wanted.

One other suggestion is the potential of SNX buyback and burn, which could possibly be automated and would profit any holder of the token. Millie proposed a dutch public sale type answer the place an preliminary value is about by the Spartan Council and would drop at pre-determined intervals till the SNX is depleted.

Gene and Adam shared some issues in regards to the concept of buybacks. They acknowledged that it is likely to be the quickest answer presently, however Adam stated he’s involved that it could incentivize customers to only maintain SNX reasonably than stake it (which generates the collateral base on high of which your entire protocol operates). He prompt accruing the surplus charges to a multisig that is likely to be used later to incentivize LPs because the protocol scales (they is also bridged to Optimism or Ethereum and distributed there). There was some consensus on this method after additional dialogue.

Subsequent up, there was a SIP presentation final week: SIP-341 so as to add a configurer handle that may execute SCCPs. At present, the proprietor handle can run protocol upgrades (i.e. execute SIPs) and name permissioned features, which then execute SCCPs. This SIP would add the choice so as to add one other handle that might execute SCCPs however not SIPs. This improve would permit some flexibility in how SIPs and SCCPs are executed in V3, pending governance approval of latest processes. If the protocol bought to the purpose of immutability (i.e. no additional code modifications), there’ll nonetheless seemingly be a necessity for the flexibility to course of configuration modifications, and this improve places the mechanism in place to permit that.
