Hey, hey. How are we all doing?
Very nice. Thanks. And you?
Wonderful. Hey, Kron.
Yeah, me and Light
are saying hi to each other like we weren't
on a call together 30 seconds ago.
Hey, everyone.
How are we today?
Very nice. Thanks.
Yeah, last two or three days,
it's actually
snowing outside pretty heavily.
So that's kind of cool.
Looking forward to
maybe take a car in the evening somewhere
and have a little fun
on some parking lot or something.
Yeah, that's really nice.
Yeah, usually it's like
really nice weather
around the start of December
and around Christmas it's
10 degrees and
mud everywhere.
We got some snow here too.
Not too much, but a little bit.
Oh, in Australia, I mean.
In Africa, where we live.
Hey, Badger, how are you doing?
All right, thanks, man.
Just trying to stay warm.
I'm wearing
doing good.
Yeah, I'm wearing a hoodie,
two pairs of trousers.
It's really cold.
That sounds like
Africa too.
How many degrees
I'll have to look it up.
Give me a minute.
Yeah, also super chilly
I still didn't
thermostat.
How the fuck
do you call this?
Thermostat.
Yeah, that's good.
Two degrees, yeah.
speaking about
All right.
Yeah, I don't have
a thermostat, man.
There's two degrees
outside, so
very cold.
Yeah, same as here.
But in the apartment,
I have like
okay to me.
But girlfriend
complaining
But you know,
you gotta save
some money
heating stuff.
Just want to say
we'll just
wait a couple
of minutes
then we'll
super important
question for
Do you have
a dishwasher?
Do you know
White, like
What the fuck
does that?
actually not
I think it's
like a standard
I'm really
not aware,
centimeters
centimeters.
it's pretty
really sure
if I could
centimeters
somewhere.
the smaller
version isn't
but probably
still better
dishwasher.
It depends
you usually
like living
it's totally
Actually, I
don't have a
dishwasher.
It's really
funny that you
I'm actually
acquire one.
I only have
I only have
start going
lot better.
whipped out
the measuring
centimeters.
the field.
it usually
every day,
literally.
basically,
really good
always find
hello everyone,
welcome to
we're here
thanks everyone
for joining.
very short
updates in
the development
the governance
and also a
small update
audit process
we'll start
audit news,
and actually
audit that
performing
they've only
positive feedback
course this
actually one
team members,
one of the
Zellick team
actually got
almost likely
according to
hours that
we experienced,
not losing
it's pretty
everything is
going exactly
feedback they've
been positive
that one of
their team
effectively
or somewhere
this week.
maybe good
to mention
Code Arena
public report,
went finally
didn't see it
check it out,
the link is in
the announcements
or also in
a recent tweet.
it's also good.
please check it
It's always
you'll find
it in their
And on the
development
before moving
governance
just a quick
everything has
been going
if Marshall
would like to
updates on
the UI end,
the roadmap
internal planning
that we have,
everything is
actually sick
for the last
so I wasn't
progress as
everything is
going according
to plan and
we'll be in
touch with
in the next
more previews
our future

pretty much
some details
of styling,
obviously,
landing page
won't require
It's mostly
just styling,
pretty much
continue to
pages this
past week.
Unfortunately,
back to it
weekend as
lost time.
glad you're
feeling somewhat

good conversations
and chugging
getting people
the update.
quickly run
through our
governance
proposals,
proposals?
just going to
quickly about
the Hermit
partnership
program has
have passed
two proposals,
next up is
the accumulation,
if I'm not
that's it.
the events
for the top
protocols have
so the top
DeFi protocols,
if they wish to
participate in
accumulating,
or doing any
integrations or
essentially,
bribing category
that's open
for everyone,
not just for
DeFi protocols
has passed,
we're going
through these
Hermit Games
partnership
proposal really
through a lot
these last
steps being
so that we
regarding the
Hermes games,
that's it,
regarding a
governance
that's also
in snapshot,
it's about,
removing the
DAO's liquidity,
liquidity,
the liquidity
the treasury,
it may have
some negative
implications if
please read
your opinion,
that's the
best way to
go about it.
really important
we get our
governance
proposal attendance
this was the
different updates
that we had for
this week,
from the development
side to the
governance,
and business
development,
anything you'd
like to know,
we are open
to answer your
questions right
please do leave
them either on
the AMA chat
on Discord,
or here in
response to
this post.
we have two
questions,
and updates on
Revest and
updates on
Revest is that
the staking
rewards that
were promised
being hit,
staking directly
would give us
a higher yield,
especially because
of mainnet
periodically
needing to
it's that,
exactly that,
we're staking
essentially,
there's less
overall staking
risk since
the contract
risk since
Revest staked
we're essentially
receiving more
yield than we
would have if,
mostly because of
that still
if we have,
if we have a
larger size,
maybe that
wouldn't happen,
but with the
the gas fees
still don't
really cut
essentially,
we're just
slightly more
yield now,
and also with
maintenance,
because we can
just leave
its stakes there,
we did not do
I think it's
I don't know
if you remember
values that
we've earned
it's really
I think it was
around 10%,
barely unstable,
I just wanted
it's quite
definitely,
thank you,
it's exactly
single-sided
and I think
we're pretty
happy about
we're monitoring
it closely,
if anything
we'll create
a governor's
adjust it,
necessary,
don't believe
that that's
anyone can also
create a proposal
through how
if there are
any staking
they will be
essentially
airdropped,
they'll either
go for the
go directly
towards the
essentially,
retroactively
be airdropped
essentially,
rewards that
you will be
actually claimed,
will not go
through this,
essentially,
there will need
governor's
to distribute
any of the
rewards that
mentioned,
have Maya,
utility token,
the Hermes,
or B Hermes
utility token,
that gives
you access
for gauges
and earning
and that's
baseline staking
rewards will
come from,
is essentially
a Hermes aggregator
post aggregator,
the amount
of the gauges
utility token,
or the voting
utility token,
that you can
increases over
instead of
yourself just
using your
liquidity and
accumulating more
Maya lends its
boost to anyone
that wants to
Talos positions,
and takes a
fee from that,
because Maya
has a lot of
B Hermes boost,
and it's very
similar to what
Convex does,
and as a Maya
you'll be able to
claim these tokens
and then vote
with them to
earn bribes
I hope that
was clear,
please let me know
if you have
any questions.
just received it,
accepting it right
but I still
can't hear you.
Is it just me?
at least I can't
hear Anima as
I can't hear him
I don't know.
take your time.
please share it
with us so we
can address that.
If I recall
correctly,
that has created
confusion,
that has created
confusion in the
I can build on
top of the
question of
asked about
The specific
question I had
it's basically
two-parter.
so what will
happen with
Maya that's
still on the
old staking
contract and
the Maya that
doesn't get
migrated to
specifically?
Will this just
stay indefinitely
so people can
always migrate it
or withdraw it?
decide something
after maybe
two years?
What is at
least in place
right now is
for everything to
be available for
migration and
the way the
supplies themselves
will be managed
it will work
kind of like a
hard fork.
on Arbitrum
tokens will
everything that's
deployed on
Mities will
continue to
exist simply
functionality or
basically answers
question because
B Hermes won't
be updated or
something it will
still be the
same the share
of the that the
Maya tokens
represents in the
B share if
everything gets
hard forked
essentially every
V Hermes will be
one-to-one
in Arbitrum as
Yeah okay and
the Maya share
also stays the
same because
essentially the
whole supply will
Do we have
yeah just a
security question
because I think
so if we hard
fork every Maya
all that Maya
will be in a
contract that
could be a big
single point of
failure of course
do we have
do we have
enough security in
place that
there's like
obviously it
won't be like
obviously so what
will happen is
imagine if you
have your Maya
stakes you'll
receive proportional
to that so if
you essentially
receive proportional
Maya even and
it's the same with
liquidity if you
have if you're
adding liquidity
essentially you'll
be able will
will pause the
AMM you'll be
able to withdraw
liquidity but
that Maya that
you essentially
receive from
removing liquidity
well it will be
worthless you
won't be using
it so or you
won't have any
utility with it
like you can
stake it but
there won't there
won't be any
staking rewards
and etc so
a really short
everything will
be essentially
mirrored in
arbitram so
it's in for
example multi
see we like
we people can
reach out to
and say that
for example
prove that they
actually own the
multi see and
request it to
for another
address for
example so
yeah we're
aware that
there's some
cases that's
not as simple
putting it in
address or
just allowing
address to
in arbitram
example LPs
you'll receive
same amount
will withdraw
swaps will
be able to
we'll just
be able to
remove the
does it also
account for
freeze the
pulls like
also have to
freeze that
if we make
that migration
days before
or probably
the migration
everyone know
let everyone
know before
but we'll let
everyone know
so that they'll
remove liquidity
can remove
just before
the snapshot
there's not
issue with
it's pretty
to communicate
else people
the useless
I understand
so basically
and Arbitrum
it's already
in a contract
so everyone
the contract
the Arbitrum
for example
is that how
you'll just
in Arbitrum
it doesn't
have to be
that answers
my question
Jett already
question already
question is
essentially
that paragraph
essentially
will always
10 V Hermes
regardless of
the supply
utility tokens
if you are
one staked
if there's
won't grant
you access
essentially
governance
that means
don't know if
you want to
yeah I hope
by the way
thank guys for
the question
yeah I think
also for the
I don't know if
rephrase it
Bugsy or if
it was clear
enough Jet
maybe yeah
completely
completely okay
I believe it
believe it
issue remains
I think it
will always want
for example
have certain
allocation to
its own LP
that's a way
to kind of
ensure that
realistic scenario
will always
directed to
key ecosystem
that's kind of
ensure that
having it's
essentially a
less flexible
since like
you'll need to
go through a
governance proposal
to change those
yeah there can
be essentially
a change but
it's it's not
really the same
as you just
getting the
utility tokens
and voting for
whatever you
same people
the holders
and the DAO
example as a
DAO we should
want to have
liquidity as
possible and
that's kind
should appeal
Yeah, I just want to say they're not mutable, sorry, they're mutually exclusive, so, yeah,
we can definitely add liquidity in Zendivided as well.
We have around 50% of vHermes, but, yeah, this is not accounting for Hermes itself.
So, yeah, there's more Hermes as well.
As a DAO, I think we should just go for whatever is best for it.
Just going for bribes and not having liquidity, it's just overall worst.
So, yeah, if we ever do too many bad decisions, that will reflect and have a negative impact.
The opposite is also the same.
If you do good decisions, good things will come out of it.
The original production.
Yeah, one of the auditors
Has been SIG
So they're going to add a few extra days
At the end
But yeah, other than that
It's still set for more or less
But yeah, one of them has the flu
And yeah, to be fair
Yeah, it won't be one or two weeks later
But yeah, it's probably just a few days
Yeah, we actually shared our thoughts on MIP27, Roland
So yeah, as a whole team
Yeah, we don't really support it
Removing half of the project liquidity
It's not healthy
Putting it shortly
Yeah, it's
Yeah, we don't really see it as something positive
No, it's just saying
Yeah, we left some messages today
In Discord
Yeah, also reflecting this
Essentially
Yeah, we don't really have much liquidity
And yeah, comparing ourselves with other projects
Like we shouldn't only say, for example, MIPI's liquidity on MIPI's itself
Most of its liquidity is not here on MIPI's
And yeah, just trying to
It's also based on a highly speculative idea
That because of the possibility of a 10x
Which should just remove all liquidity
That's not really healthy to the project
Price discovery is something really important
And less liquidity we have
The worst it gets
Yeah, we just
Yeah, we think that it should be based on
Hard facts
Yeah, just saying that it will 10x
And even if it does
Having liquidity there
Is arguably a good thing
Even with impermanent loss
It even makes sense
That a stash will take it
Especially because we are in the low range
Essentially adding liquidity
At a higher price
Wouldn't be that good
Maybe if we were on a half
On a 50-50% of the range of the LP position
It will maybe be a wiser decision
But since we are at the low end
With more Maya than ETH
If we just add it
We might just risk it
Being out of range
It's also nice
Not the best timing
To maybe change this
Another possible approach
I believe we talked this on Monday
On the AMA
For example
Maybe removing 20%
The DAO's LP
Maybe shifting the ranges
Putting it wider
So there's less impermanent loss
Removing percent
Removing half of the
Of a project liquidity
It's really hard to argue
That it's gonna be healthy
Thanks for the
It's hard to say
Because we'll have a boost aggregator
With Maya and Talos
So it's possible that
It will even increase
It's really hard to say
We're gonna expect
To increase
Or decrease
Or even stay the same
We're not really adding liquidity
We do have essentially
The Maya's gauge
But other than that
We only receive
Rebases and that
We'll probably see
In a perspective
Net Hermes
That we accumulate
It should be higher
Than what we have now
But it might still be lower
Like the overall
All other projects
We'll definitely have ways
To accumulate more Hermes
Than we're doing
At the moment
Extremely easy
That from a year
Maya will have
More or less
Percentage
Of V Hermes
Or B Hermes
Than it has now
And just to continue
On Anima's point
I do agree
With what you just said
It's a fact
That we have
A 50k volume
That seems
For daily volume
The only thing
That we're saying
Even further
The liquidity
Conditions
For our assets
Will create
Environment
Logically trading
You can also expect
Volume to be affected
By the available liquidity
There's a correlation
Between both
Well known
A less inviting
Environment
New players
Essentially
Have a lot less
They'll be able
With a lot less
It can have
Negative impact
The foundation
This is going
To be good
Speculative
It's hard to argue
If it does go well
At the end of the day
That's really
What matters
Essentially
If right now
You get 1%
You'll get
It's not really
And existing
What I said
About the range
It's definitely
Not that good
That if we
Actually add
Liquidatine
Higher value
Maya turning
The position
What you said
Is trading
Not really
Capitalize
Percentages
Yeah, all liquidity won't be gone, so it will essentially it will be migrated to
Arbitrum Yes, the same way that new people can also
want liquidity in Arbitrum.
Yeah, it's a really risky proposal in our opinion and if everyone did the same, the project
wouldn't have any liquidity left and it would have a very bad implication.
Yeah, I'd just like to kind of reiterate what I think was one of the most solid points that really bring attention to also the negative sides or possibilities like the worst case scenarios or negative outcomes that may be, well, boosted or bolstered by this proposal, this liquidity structure change.
Us removing liquidity at the bottom of the range would mean that if effectively the scenario that is being proposed in this as the base for this proposal, so the possible event of a 10x,
you will not be able to re-add liquidity and actually provide any significant support for liquidity or trading activity.
Particularly, we'll have a lot of difficulty supporting the sell side particularly, so it makes it so that DAO is not as useful at ensuring, well, base conditions for everyone in the ecosystem.
Everyone wants to trade in and out of their assets, which, yeah, and a lot of the arguments are used really well.
They are logically based on market behavior and which, if you think about it, generally works better with large numbers and larger number of participants,
which honestly is not the case for protocols currently, also due to the chain where we are, which also has reduced conditions of liquidity and users, so it's also tough to use some of the logic that's being used to support this proposal in this particular context.
But then again, I completely understand what is being said and why it's being said, I just think that in practice, the odds of it going bust are much larger than the upside.
Yeah, thanks for the input, Bugsy.
Yeah, in short, yeah, regarding liquidity, essentially we have an almost single-sided position and regarding liquidity at higher prices,
this is, yeah, it most likely will be detrimental to our position, so it will be easily out of range in the future, so, yeah, it's a lot safer and better overall to at least not remove all of the liquidity,
So, yeah, right now 90% of the position is Maya and we only have 10 ETH in the position,
So, yeah, essentially it can support 10 ETH of selling and right now it does support a nice price movement, but, yeah, it can be really reduced as we move up the bonding curve.
And I just want also to say that, yeah, this is assuming that we actually do what the proposal is saying. If we don't, it's just a really bad move overall. We're just shutting doors to new users.
Okay, let's do all of this, yes, we will see these new malaria come.
So, next, there we go over QI, so we have 10 ETH of bulletins in the stock, so maybe you have to finish an idea with the solid standards over 200.
No, we don't have to plan the value of the stream, but we don't have a good example.
But before relould rain, let's see if we get a little further layer that comes up.
What we have to do is when we take time to get right now and have a little bit too long, let's see if we find a meaning in place because we should be getting close Genau of course that we could plan them before 100.
And we use something with the 특별 Brainieriorn, to my new users.
I could take some of the Attorneygenitor, we just care for using our filters.
Because we need to wait for more questions.
If that is the case, then removing liquidate even makes less sense, so we can just leave
it as it is and earn more fees if there won't be any price movement.
I don't know if there are any more particular points you all want to discuss.
If not, we can continue the MIP27 conversations in its chat on Discord, and anyone who isn't
up to date can also drop by and read, and also, more importantly, the proposal itself.
But yeah, let's see if there are any more questions, because if not, we'll continue.
We have a couple more meetings this afternoon, and we also have to get back to work, but I
believe this was an available discussion that some nice questions were actually made over
the course of this AMA.
Yeah, I do want to say, Anima, that you need to take...
No, no, sorry.
So, it's like, we either have a lot of... I don't... I think the only way that we'll ever
do a 10x would be with new users, and if there aren't any new users in Mities, then it's hard
to argue that it will 10x, so we won't incur that impermanent loss.
And, but yeah, it's... This is very, very, very speculative.
So, and yeah, that's one of the reasons why we can't really support the proposal.
It's because there's no really hard fact to support it.
But yeah, I think we let...
It kind of relies on active treasury management when specifically these positions and everything
that's gated by several weeks of governance makes it tough to stay sharp and stay ahead
of potential launches when it comes with directional and bold bets like this.
But just to reiterate, we do understand the two sides of the coins.
We logically understand what you're saying, that the EL would overcome the generated fees.
But yeah, it's also worth noting, on the other hand, it's the DAO's position.
IL isn't realized unless... Yeah, it's not real, unless you do realize it.
So, yeah, there's also that side. There's both sides of the coin that should be considered.
And yeah, like we said, let's carry on this conversation on MIP27 on Discord.
Yeah, thanks for the roundup, Bugsy.
So, see you around, everyone.
Hope you have a great week and we wish you a great weekend.
And yeah, thank you for showing up and for all the questions.
And thanks guys for being here. We'll see each other next week.
Bye-bye, everyone. Bye.
