Proposal

Launch ALGO-BANK Lending Pool staking contract.

This proposal is to be executed at the same time as the next emissions distribution proposal regarding allocations for the period of Nov 30-Dec 31.

The motivation is to drive ALGO and BANK liquidity on the Dex protocol. Additionally, the ALGO-BANK LP would be eligible for BANK emissions (% TBD).

In the future, the ALGO-BANK Lending Pool would be a capital efficient mechanism for users of the lending protocol and Algofi DEX to earn yield from lending interest and trading fees in the pool, but because of recent precautions explained here, you are not able to use the LP tokens as collateral at this time. Only ALGO will earn lending interest since BANK is not on the lending market yet. To be clear, this staking contract would be on the Farm page with the rest of the new staking contracts, not on the Lend page.

Liquidity for BANK paired with ALGO, from an investor’s perspective, is seen as a more attractive pool to earn trading fees because the tokens are more correlated and therefore impermanent loss is less of a risk vs. stablecoin-ASA pairs. The STBL2-BANK and ALGO-BANK staking contracts can co-exist. There has also been previous discussion of whether BANK emissions should go to STBL2-BANK or ALGO-BANK here. STBL2 should be a center for liquidity on Algofi but we should also let the market decide which pool wins the battle for emissions. This will be possible once the rewards manager and gauges are live.

Hello, I was wondering if the Dex fees for the Algo/bank farm are automatically added to the bank earned… Or if the Dex fees are just not showing up properly in the farm page. Say’s we’re earning .56% Algo supply and the Bank. Shows 0% dex fees. Also, on the analytics the bank/Algo LP pool register Algo as a ? asset. I don’t know if this is normal, but it’s making the 24hr and 7d APR sit at 0% on the analytics page. Am I earning those Dex fees through bank? Or as dex fees, and since there is an error it’s reading wrong…? Worst case scenerio is the dex fees aren’t even being registered to anyone. Hopefully It’s something simple that I missed, sorry to bother for clarification, can’t find this info anywhere.

the dex fees are not part of the amount of BANK the farm shows you since it is added to the pool (your LP tokens become worth more essentially) and is therefore not claimable like the separate BANK emissions

and the problem with the analytics page for that pool got already reported to the devs, they will fix it

Thanks so much my friend. Nice to have clarification. I was sure it was just that, cause I’d see the normal rates sometimes. What threw me off is the two different LPs, I thought maybe one was normal, and the other was made with a different reward system. That or there was a glitch.
Thanks again, sorry to bother everyone with trivial stuff. Couldnt find anything about it.
