# 12/9/20 Digg Community Call #1 ## Goals: - Some short term feedback+ideas for the dev team around the launch - Rough framework for long term vision (or a couple options) to open up for community/core contribution+discussion ## Agenda: ### Decide on principles (things we definitely do or do not want to do) - Fully synthetic Bitcoin representation that long term users will feel comfortbale holding in their portfolio for bitcoin exposure - Should not have any reliance on centralized Bitcoin representations (like holding wBTC in reserve) ### Decide on Goals (What do we want this to look like in 3, 6 months) - Ponzi-with-a-purpose: Eventually have an asset that people WANT to hold - Should bring value to $BADGER - Should offer some utility to Setts - Helps Bitcoin in some way?? - Able to be an interest earning BTC (dynamic rate but holders only rebase UP) ### Review and document rough outline for launch (just compile what currently exists and post for reference) ***EVERYTHING WILL BE PUT THROUGH THE GOVERNANCE FORUM FOR FEEDBACK*** - $DIGG is an AMPL fork - Target Launch 12/20 - Daily Rebase - 10 day distribution (10% multiplier) - What setts are we thinking? - a couple LP vaults (uniswap, sushi, balancer)? - some "stabilizing" setts (use btc assets to auto buy/sell) **Distribution** - 6250 initial supply (~120m equilibrium cap) - 50% to treasury - 10% Retroactively dropped to badgerdao participants - 40% farming - Sett stakers - $DIGG<>WBTC LPs - 8 week release - Rebasing to start immediately (or close to it) - DAO to use treasury to bootstrap liquidity ### Discuss other rebasing projects in light of 1-3 and what we may or may not want to use from them **AMPL** - People just gambling on the geysers, not stable at all but has a huge treasury of AMPL to incentivize exposure **$BASED** - AMPL fork fair launched (anonymous) Have pivoted to focusing on income generating activities (moonbase, Based Lending, etc) **YAM** - AMPL fork fair launched (Not anonymous) Have pivoted to focusing on income generating activities (Umbrella, Yam Lending) **Basis Cash** - Bond system, TBD, still new. Optimism based on abstraction of risk to speculators **Empty Set Dollar** - Coupon system, TBD, still new. Optimism based on abstraction of risk to speculators **TREE** - Failure in launch and distribution but interesting model (may be getting salvaged). A reserve is created that users can burn quadratic portion of holdings for a portion of. ## Notes ### My points to make 1. Bitcoin is intended to be a store of value and unit of account. 2. A rebasing asset is naturally speculative. The "price" is stable but the "total value" of your holdings changes on rebase. It is a bet on the success of badgerDAO 3. Following 1 & 2 $DIGG (as currently designed) will not be a replacement for someone that wants BTC exposure 4. No rebasing asset has gotten it "right" to this point but its still early **Two Options as I see it** Both isolate rebasing to speculators 1. Vault system ($SATS model) where $DIGG is collateral for a secondary asset. Rebasing replaces liquidators, $SAT is non-rebasing (unless we want interest accrual) 2. "Bond" System where speculators lock up $DIGG in return for claim on larger portion of future rebases ### Questions to Hit - Should we include an overweight balancer pool (90/10 wbtc/digg) - should we use sushiswap for LP (get around routing issue on uniswap) - Should we target a steady growth in price (btc+1%)? - Whats the biggest driver of instability in rebasing assets? ## Takeaways - DefiBuzz channel - possibly use chainlink oracles -
