The Algorand Foundation seeks feedback from the community on proposed ballot measures we are considering putting forward for the upcoming Governance voting session in September. Below we describe the measures that we are preparing, their rationale and their possible technical implementation, followe…

Governance rewards should be reallocated to stimulate Algorand ecosystem growth now, i.e. ASAP. Facts :heavy_check_mark:Liquidity is the lifeblood of DeFi (and finance in general) :heavy_check_mark:Liquidity providers are essential for DeFi :heavy_check_mark:DeFi scale and growth are dependent o…

@oysterpack Yea I have to completely disagree with this. TVL is not as big of a problem as people make it out to be, I think there is just an overwhelming feeling that we should already be like ETH, which I understand but isn’t realistic. You’re making the assumption that incentivizing liquidity pro…

Let’s forget about the TVL metric at the moment, and simply focus on liquidity. Without sufficient liquidity, DeFi dies. DeFi liquidity will then flee from Algorand and take their capital elsewhere, which means exiting out of ALGO. Is that what you really want? Do you really think the VCs, instituti…

TVL is currently growing and liquidity has improved substantially this year without governance rewards being given away to liquidity providers and taken from governors…so why do we all of a sudden need to do this? Aeneas program has already incentivized liquidity and continues to do so.

@Massimo states it plainly [image] Massimo: The aim is to grow the Algorand DeFi participation and market size. This will benefit the ALGO and therefore all Governors. I agree with the goal. @Massimo ’s proposal is a step in the right direction, but I think we need to be even more aggressive.…

Yes, I agree with @Massimo …what I didn’t agree with is completely ending governance rewards and giving it all to DeFi…allocating 25% to DeFi or so would be good. I even said this way back in the beginning of the discussions.

I think there’s a serious miss-representation/understanding of where the Algorand DeFi space is at the moment. Reading your write-up it’s almost as if the Algorand DeFi space is dying and there’s nothing being developed/deployed in here. Almost as if the long-term vision of the chain is at peril, wh…

Cool - then we are on the same page about the problem. I think the overall community is on the same page as well. Thus, the community discussion should focus on the solution design and implementation.

You make a lot of good points, but they are too academic. The bottom line is the bottom line … and the bottom line is that liquidity is too low and Algorand DeFi activity is pathetic. Forget about TVL. Has Algorand DeFi moved the needle for TPS? The answer is no. Higher liquidity will bring in more…
