Weekly Governance Update: Week of May 13, 2024
The third week of May included risk analysis/cap adjustments, Base updates from Warden Finance, and more.
Here are the highlights:
Delegate Updates
Forum post: MIP-M28 and MIP-R18
Author: Curly
Summary: In the last weekly update, delegate Curly submitted a pair of rewards speed proposals to rebalance liquidity incentives and maintain healthy levels of rewards on Moonbeam and Moonriver. Both proposals were passed. However, the proposal focused on Moonbeam, MIP-M28, failed due to a technical issue. The votes cast on Base were not successfully emitted back to Moonbeam. As a result, the proposal was not executed and its reward speed updates to Moonbeam markets were not actioned. The implications are (1) the rewards on Moonbeam markets will remain unchanged until the next reward speed proposal is executed onchain and (2) WELL rewards were re-enabled on the Stellaswap DEX pool on May 17th. Moonwell contributors will implement additional checks and mitigation measures to ensure that similar issues don’t happen in the future.

Forum post: Warden Finance - Base Liquidity Incentives
Author: Warden Finance
Summary: On Friday, Warden Finance provided their regular updates on Base liquidity incentives. A new rewards pool of 75K USDC was allocated towards native USDC market rewards over epoch #11. In other observations, Warden mentioned the healthy (yet unsupportive of further growth) levels of DAI and rETH onchain liquidity and that the AERO market utilization is beyond optimal levels. Further, LST market rewards have been shifted slightly towards mETH. For more market information and updated reward distribution figures, see the post above.
