Progress Report

  • Quantstamp re-audit and ABDK initial audit both begin 28th March
  • We will NOT wait for ABDK initial audit for launch unless critical vulnerabilities not picked up by QS are found
  • Working on swap-like experience: Token A → Bridge → Token B in one transaction.
  • Hired 2 senior solidity engineers
  • In the process of hiring product manager / Front-end engineer

Liquidity Updates

  • After community discussion, 250,212 $CVX has been acquired by the Development Fund — this unorthodox approach of acquiring via Development Fund and reimbursing from treasury later was for timeliness and to avoid front-running
  • $CVX will be used to direct $CRV emissions to our SILO:FRAX Curve v2 Pool to incentivize liquidity without $SILO dilution
  • To receive these $CRV emissions, we must first get gauge approval from Curve governance — a proposal has been prepared here
  • $CVX and $CRV holders will be encouraged to vote on a SILO:FRAX gauge if they see high TVL and high transaction history, so please migrate trading to our Curve v2 pool!
  • In the interim, Silo DAO will allocate our vlCVX voting power to Votium to collect bribes and expand our treasury
  • Deploying liquidity from treasury is possible but will run the risk of IL borne by the treasury — bring it up in #proposal-discussion (discord) if you want to explore this option
