** I recently read the Kaiko research piece about Egorov, the founder of Curve, and his borrowing strategy. If you're not familiar with it, I highly encourage you to take a look. Currently, Egorov is borrowing approximately $66M from Aave, $20M from Abracadabra, $13M from Frax, and $7M from Inverse Finance. In my opinion, the protocol severely underestimates the risk posed by these two cauldrons. Last week, an Aave governance proposal was created to limit CRV contagion, but fortunately, the proposal failed to pass. While the position is still overcollateralized, we need to formulate a response to reduce protocol risk and encourage Egorov to repay his positions. Before we dive in, I think it’s important to acknowledge that the 18% APY on the CRV cauldrons meaningfully contributes to the protocol's profitability. However, the DAO faces asymmetric downside risk (similar to what we saw with UST), which could have catastrophic consequences in the event of cascading liquidations on CRV. Egorov’s Aave borrow position can be seen below:

5/1/2023In this document I'd like to share my views on some ideas which could help Abracadabra improve its current tokenomic structure with the intent to look into a more perpetual model where emissions can be recycled back to the protocol for future re-emissions (perpetual use) Current structure SPELL - native ERC-20 token designed for farming emissions on abracadabra, apart from this the token in its native form does not serve any additional purpose apart from it being used as collateral on some deprecated lending protocols. mSPELL - Staked Spell into a contract which distrubutes out a portion of borrowing fees accrued over a period of time proportial the the share of tokens held in the contract sSPELL - Staked Spell into a contract which distrubutes SPELL proportionally among the holders in the contract, SPELL is bought on the market with funds from borrowing fees accrued over a period of time. sSPELL and mSPELL payouts stem from all the combined cauldrons borrowing fees.
