The objective remains to be to get to $100 million in every day quantity and maintain over $20 million in LP-backed collateral, so incentives are persevering with and yield-bearing LP collateral choices are additionally being added to assist attain these milestones.

The BTC and ETH OI caps are at $15 million. As beforehand talked about, OI caps are restricted by out there LP collateral and are at present the very best they are often with out extra LPs. Although the capability is there, the utilization of obtainable OI by merchants is comparatively low.

Subsequent, the migration from L1 SNX to V3 is predicted to be prepared inside the subsequent couple of weeks. The SIP for the legacy market is prepared for launch and the synth deprecation SIP is reaching a gradual state.

The testnet launch for the launch and scale of L1 Perps can also be coming quickly, and the SIP for that is being finalized for a presentation.

As for the launch and scale on Arbitrum, the LP deposit and incentives are set to start in June. The SIP for this deployment is being up to date with larger LP caps and a renamed stablecoin. Relying on how briskly the LP scales, the hope is {that a} Perps market could possibly be launched on Arbitrum inside a pair weeks of the deployment.

The preliminary SIP presentation for this lists DAI as an out there collateral sort for LPs, however Millie prompt eradicating it because it solely detracts from the opposite collateral sorts and isn’t notably standard on Arbitrum. He can be writing the SCCP to take away it.

Duck additionally referred to as out the truth that there’s at present no written plan for a way Arbitrum charges can be distributed. By default, they’d all go to LPs. However one of many recommendations, for the SNX staker portion, was to ship that portion of the price to Base to be included within the buyback and burn that’s occurring now. There can be a SIP drafted to put out the method for price sharing and distribution.

Subsequent, the SIP to carry elections on chain is in audit and is prepared for a presentation. Some CCs are engaged on crosschain messages utilizing Wormhole for the implementation of the modular cross-chain election system SIP, and the testing part will begin this week.

There was additionally a SIP presentation final week, so let’s go over it:
