イーサリアムからカルダノに流動性を移動させたユーザーに対して、ファーミングインセンティブを提供するために資金を使用する予定です

Problem:

Farming incentives have proven to be very effective in crypto. We can use this to incentivize projects to move liquidity from Ethereum

This proposal was approved and funded by the Cardano Community via Project F8: The Great Migration (from Ethereum) Catalyst funding round.

[IMPACT]

Projects that migrate from Ethereum to Cardano need access to liquidity to function properly (think AMM DEXs. They only work properly if they have enough liquidity to match trades)

Having enough liquidity available can be difficult for new ecosystems such as Cardano which only just recently launched its smart contract and where EVM compatibility will only be available in Milkomeda in Q1 2022.

To ensure we have enough liquidity to make it feasible for projects to migrate, we can provide an incentive for projects to move liquidity to Cardano through Milkomeda

Having sufficient liquidity on Milkomeda will increase the number of projects that are feasible on Milkomeda and therefore increase the number of projects that migrate

  1. Ethereum users don't take advantage of the liquidity incentive (we end up having funds leftover)
  2. Ethereum users remove the liquidity they provide once the incentives dry up

Here is our thoughts on the risks

  1. We think that with our connections, we can get enough users onboard
  2. This proposal is meant to help bootstrap the ecosystem. The idea is that by the time this incentive dries up, multiple projects have launched on Cardano through Milkomeda providing their own incentives that will make up the gap (for example, how SundaeSwap / Minswap provide yield farming as incentives)

[FEASIBILITY]

We can make use of the funds as soon as the proposal gets approved. Milkomeda already has multiple bridge partners such as Nomad that allow people to bridge assets to Milkomeda so there is no technical blocker to providing this incentive.

How long the incentive lasts is hard to predict because it depends on how much liquidity we attract, but we aim to have it last at least long enough to give time for projects to leverage the liquidity to bootstrap their own protocols

The full budget will be used as liquidity providing incentive to users bridging assets from Ethereum to Milkomeda

The Milkomeda project has many developers and people working in marketing / bizdev (many of which are at dcSpark). Since launching Milkomeda on a devnet, many projects have already announced they are deploying on Milkomeda such as

@API3DAO

@MultichainOrg

@CelerNetwork

@occamDEX

@nomadxyz_

@blueshiftfi

@realmilkyswap

Our team will continue to work hard to encourage projects to deploy on Cardano through Milkomeda and increased liquidity will help a lot with that.

[AUDITABILITY]

Number of Ethereum projects that deploy on Cardano through Milkomeda that depend on liquidity availability (such as AMM DEXs)

TVL of projects on Milkomeda that depend on liquidity

Ethereum users take advantage of the liquidity incentive program which leads to a higher TVL for Milkomeda projects that depend on liquidity

Monthly Reports

  1. Partnership with Symbiosis, protocol that allows to do swaps (unlike bridging) between blockchains. A liquidity campaign with start shortly with 15k of incentives from Catalyst.
  2. Multichain opened a new token pair between ADA (Milkomeda C1) and Binance that will allow users to move ADA directly to Binance Smart chain for a better integration between chains. We will be providing 25k of incentives. We are pending the company account to be accepted (we already sent the documentation). This is required to be able to send ADA to Binance Smart Chain.

As reported in previous month, we were working in cooperation with Symbiosis on farming contest. It was finished yesterday and now we will distribute the grant of 15k to reward users that took part in the competition. Preparations are currently underway for a new cross-chain camping in cooperation with Multichain and Blueshift.
We had finalized the agreement with the teamsfor the LP competition design. Here is the outline:

LPs competition

Goal: To provide $1M or more to the Blueshift DEX

Conditions: If LPs provide $1M from mainstream chains to Milkomeda via Multichains bridge with 0 fees for 1 month, users will benefit from getting extra rewards from farms in the form of additional ADA besides BLUES. Milkomeda provides a prize pool 25k USD for C1 (thanks to Catalyst grant)

📒Tasks: 📍1: Bridge assets from Ethereum/BNB chain to Milkomeda. Minimum amount: no less than 40USD
📍2: Add liquidity to Multichain's branded portfolios. Minimum amount: no less than 40USD 📍3: Farming pools: provide LPs tokens to Multichain's branded portfolios. Minimum amount: no less than 40USD

LPs competition

Goal: To provide $1M or more to the Blueshift DEX

Conditions: If LPs provide $1M from mainstream chains to Milkomeda via Multichains bridge with 0 fees for 14 days, users will benefit from getting extra rewards from farms in the form of additional ADA besides BLUES. Milkomeda provides a prize pool of 25k USD for C1 (thanks to Catalyst grant)

In addition, to increase interest in the campaign, an amount of $4,000 will be distributed in 14 daily tasks during which participants can win prizes. The campaign officially begins on December 24, and will be announced on Milkomeda, Blueshift and Multichain social media channels in the coming days.
