For an intro about all GP7 proposed measures, please see this post . Measure 1 - Liquidity Provision to DeFi Protocols The Algorand Foundation recently piloted a deployment of 42MM ALGO of treasury liquidity to Folks Finance, Pact, AlgoRai Finance, and Tinyman with the objective of contributing to …

We are not getting asked (1) which protocols (2) which amounts (3) which purpose and these are the points that matter. The Algorand Foundation is not supposed to act as a Central Bank to inject liquidity in their favorite projects and for the reasons they believe are important! And you are sabo…

I probably sound like a broken record … Liquidity is the lifeblood of DeFi - period. The more liquidity that the Foundation can provide, the better. Seeing the Algorand Foundation participate in DeFi shows a strong vote of confidence in the projects and the entire DeFi ecosystem. In addition, it ge…

Having a vote post-fact seems very disingenuous, specially without having either the results of the deployed liquidity or a more detailed flow-chart as to why some protocols were chosen over others and under what conditions. Did these protocols approach you for this deployment? Was it a unilateral d…

One big question I have about this: how much of this liquidity is being borrowed and immediately put into goverannce? As yeah I feel there’s no point in offering liquidity if it’s just going to get immediately hoovered up and put in governance and then sit there for 3 months doing nothing else prod…

Liquidity should be provided on in the form of Liquidity pools. Algo should not be used in Lending protocols because this liquidity just ends up locked in governance through leveraged commit. Cheaper Algo is not what we need right now.

Perhaps it makes sense for at least some of those in charge of governance to… I don’t know… maybe have a smidge of experience with being a creator/builder in this space? We will continue to get quarter after quarter of questionable decisions so long as the same team is in place.

Just to explicitly add that the previous replies from @lobo 1 , @Swaggelwander 2 , and @BunsanMuchi 3 all raised excellent concerns with which I agree. Besides these points, in order to make an informed decision about this measure, it is necessary to know where are these funds coming from and what me…

This is an OBIVOUS YES. Algorand itself is still in its early infancy stage. Defi on Algorand, is in an even more of an infancy stage. Thus providing liquidity is important for growth of the ecosystem to further attract users and people with influence and money into the Algorand ecosystem. It’s …

if the Algorand Foundation wants to help the ecosystem with liquidity and the governors ssupport this then it should propose general and objective criterias under which ALL projects can be EQUALLY evaluated. some points to consider imo: projects should propose to the community and not to AF if the…

It is wild how DeFi gets 42M A without a vote, while the NFT community continues to have to scrape by with the leftover crumbs and needed a vote.
