  • Quotes from Delegates
    • “MFAM reallocation for liquidity incentives” brought up a critical discussion on the runway and the Snapshot proposal process. @coolhorsegirl brought up the exhaustion of 50% of the MFAM incentives, saying: ‘Let’s reallocate 20% of the MFAM token supply from Developer Grants and Incentives to be used as liquidity incentives’. There was a bit of debate between different delegates on how this should have been implemented. Read along with the discussion in the above link.
    • @Curly stepped in with a few notes, including that the discussion should have been had on the forums first before going to snapshot for a vote, and the protocol could implement protocol-owned liquidity (POL)
    • @elliot brought up that Protocol-Owned Liquidity (POL) is a hard problem — how can we be sure that the Moonwell DAO goal of facilitating access to decentralized lending remains the north star, while also doing this new thing of ‘how do we manage liquidity?’ He cited OlympusDAO as an example. He also wanted clarification on which part of the voting process was incorrect.
