Accumulation & the Treasury Ceiling", href: 'https://forum.livepeer.org/t/3153', author: 'By b3nnn (@b3nnn)', content: '

The onchain treasury was designed to provide sustainable public goods funding. It has supported many important and strategic contributions to the Livepeer Ecosystem. The AI SPE, Streamplace, Agent SPE and Cloud have all received funds and made important contributions. And through our onchain governance, the community have shown time and again their thoughtfulness and care for getting decisions right. Your desire to align decisions with long-term health has made us a shining example of simple but effective governance and how people can working together onchain.

The treasury is key to supporting strategic investments to improve UX for stakeholders, effectively manage protocol security, and fund other capital and resource needs for this exciting phase of the project.

As of now, the onchain treasury is currently not accumulating LPT. It was designed not to accept unlimited funding, hit the initial value set as the ceiling, and reset treasury contributions to 0% on or around 31st of March this year. There are a backlog of upcoming projects on highly strategic initiatives that will need treasury support, and we will all feel better about how to allocate funds if we have certainty that new funds are coming into the treasury.

I intend to post a LIP to turn on the treasury rewards again at their initial values:

treasuryRewardCutRate: 10%
treasuryBalanceCeiling: 750000 LPT

The rate of 750000 LPT is currently set as the ceiling so would not be updated in the formal proposal

For what it’s worth, my personal bias is to increase one of these values, but I’m happy to punt that discussion to another day. Having seen the exciting things in the background that will require treasury support in coming weeks, the most pressing item for us as a community is to start getting the treasury repopulated.

I’ll be on the watercooler next week to discuss and am happy to set up an office hours to discuss direct if there is support for that. I look forward to proposing this for a community vote . If you have any input on the contribution percentage that goes into my proposal, please also share your input here.

TLDR

We propose to address known UX issues and ease and costs to participate by increasing DEX liquidity. Arrakis offers an optimal solution for our specific needs, and we are requesting 250,000 LPT for deployment to a Uniswap v4 pool which will significantly reduce slippage for ecosystem participants

Motivation

The Capital Markets Advisory board made improving onchain liquidity a tactical recommendation, specifically sighting:

Low liquidity levels on our DEX pools (primarily Uniswap on Arbitrum). This creates high slippage when trying to transact with any size, and might refrain larger stakeholders or participants from buying LPT
The much higher ratio of available liquidity on centralized exchanges compared to DEXs drives participants to rely on centralized platforms, exposing them to the inherent risks associated with centralized providers
Further, centralised exchanges often don’t support L2 withdrawals. This results in delayed bridging and withdrawal processing between L1 & L2, impairing overall UX and the efficiency of orchestrators as it relates to capital allocation

In short, improved L2 Dex liquidity is essential for both current and future participants in Livepeer.

The Ask

We want to significantly decrease slippage and costs for orchestrators and other participants to interact with the network through onchain liquidity.

We are asking for 250,000 LPT (approx. $1M in USD value) to be held in a multisig controlled by the Livepeer Foundation, to be deployed via an onchain vault with Arrakis as a concentrated pool on Uniswap v4.

Management of concentrated liquidity on Uniswap V4 allows for larger trades with minimal price impact, improving the overall trading experience. Savings to participants are substantial at approx. $1500 in slippage reduction on a $25,000 sale of LPT (estimate based on data below).

Comparison of current and estimated price impact (after successful ETH liquidity bootstrapping) for buying LPT and ETH across different amounts

Specification for Livepeer

The Arrakis team uses the existing LPT/ETH pool on the 0.3% fee tier for UniswapV4
Arrakis then deploys a dedicated vault managed by the Arrakis Pro smart contract for this LPT/ETH Uniswap pool.
The Livepeer Foundation team establish a ⅔ Multisig for custody of the funds. If the proposal passes, funds are transferred onchain to this multisig account
Through this Livepeer Foundation multisig, we deposit $1 million worth of $LPT into the Arrakis Pro vault. Transfers in and out of the vault are controlled by the multisig, meaning they cannot be deployed or moved by Arrakis elsewhere
Arrakis Pro will allocate the provided liquidity in a concentrated and fully active market making strategy to facilitate trading on UniswapV4.
The strategy initially operates to bootstrap ETH to establish a 50/50 inventory ratio over the first months. The primary objective is to create price stability by generating deep liquidity and reaching an even inventory over time.

For the services provided, Arrakis charges the following fees:

Arrakis Asset-under-Management (AUM) fee: 1% per year, waived for the first 6 months

Arrakis performance fee: 50% of trading fees the vault generates

FAQ

What are the risks of this model?

Deploying funds to DEX pools bears smart contract risk and general market risk (e.g. token exposure, impermanent loss). Arrakis smart contracts have been audited by leading security firms and currently secure +$150M TVL (https://docs.arrakis.finance/text/resources/audits.html)

What happens to the capital required?

The capital required is deployed by the Livepeer DAO, via a Foundation controlled multisig, to a self-custodial smart contract vault and can be withdrawn at any point in time. Arrakis does not hold custody, nor control the funds deployed outside of the mandate to manage DEX liquidity on Uniswap V4 for the respective trading pair.

Will this impact the current liquidity on CEXs?

Arrakis mandate is to gradually improve on-chain markets and provide deeper liquidity for the respective pair over time on DEX markets. CEX markets will not be affected.

How does the Arrakis model differ from standard AMMs (like Uniswap v3)?

Arrakis provides a sophisticated on-chain market making service, running dedicated algorithmic market making strategies.
Instead of manually deploying funds into the CLAMM pool, Arrakis algorithmically rebalances the position and runs active liquidity management strategies.

Will our liquidity still be actively managed, or will it be passively allocated in a vault?

Close to 100% of the liquidity deployed with an Arrakis vault is actively deployed to the Uniswap CLAMM pool and provides liquidity. Small shares of liquidity remain in the vault as token reserves for rebalancing purposes.

How is the strategy for the vault determined — who sets the parameters, and how often are they rebalanced?

Arrakis quant team fine tunes the strategies and engages in period review cycles along with 24h-365day monitoring and alerting.

Who controls or can modify the AMM strategy parameters?

Arrakis strategies are designed, deployed and maintained by professional quant traders. The Foundation can be involved in discussion in regular intervals as needed to further align on achieving the stated goals.

Will the community have visibility into performance and strategy updates?

The Foundation delegates will receive access to a custom real time analytics dashboard and can share periodic updates to the forum for the community.

What happens to the liquidity if the vault underperforms or becomes unbalanced?

Liquidity is actively rebalanced towards a 50:50 ratio by placing one sided limit maker orders. In adverse market scenarios strategies will adjust to certain market volatility settings.

How do fees compare to centralized market makers?

Centralized market makers work in two models: a) Loan & Option b) Retainer Fix Fee payment. Arrakis works on a profit sharing of trading fees earned (50% captured by the Livepeer DAO, 50% retained by Arrakis for the services provided)

How will LP performance be measured?

LP performance will be measured by market depth, price impact, slippage improvement, total volumes facilitated.

What happens after funds are returned?

It’s important to note that the liquidity in the vault can remain deployed indefinitely, but also returned to the onchain treasury or control by the voters at any time. As funds will now be held in both ETH and LPT, the community can be involved in discussions about how returned funds are stored or used.

This is a large proportion of the current treasury. What gives?

We recognise that this is a large ask relative to the current size and value of the treasury. The size and value of the treasury will be addressed in a separate proposal. As it relates to this proposal, consider that we will reduce slippage costs by approx 2-3X on every dex transaction. The ROI on this proposal will be quite substantial.
