1. Project Introduction
Avalanche is an open, programmable smart contracts platform that is starting to be a popular venue for DeFi Dapps and NFTs due to its high throughput and fast transaction finality.
Avalanche Foundation would like to propose that the KyberDMM (Dynamic Market Maker) protocol be deployed on Avalanche, coupled with a joint liquidity mining campaign. We believe this is aligned with Kyber Network’s aim to widen adoption across different networks beyond Ethereum. Since Kyber’s vision is to deliver a sustainable liquidity infrastructure for DeFi, this should also extend to Avalanche’s DeFi ecosystem.
We would like to propose the following:
- The deployment of KyberDMM protocol and the creation of amplified liquidity pools on Avalanche.
- $3M worth of KNC from Kyber’s ecosystem fund to be utilized as incentives to bootstrap liquidity and adoption of KyberDMM on Avalanche. In return, Avalanche Foundation will contribute $2M worth of AVAX tokens as incentives.
- Avalanche Foundation and Kyber to work together on a joint liquidity mining and marketing campaign to educate users on the benefits of both projects.
Separately, we encourage Kyber to collaborate with other Avalanche-based projects to create liquidity pools and run additional liquidity mining campaigns to amplify the impact of the launch.
2. Proposal Summary, Motivation, and Key Details
Why KyberDMM should deploy on Avalanche
The high and volatile gas fees on Ethereum and other chains have sometimes resulted in a poor DeFi user experience. Avalanche provides an attractive venue for users that want a cheaper and faster experience when it comes to DeFi use cases such as trading, liquidity provision, and lending/borrowing.
Avalanche has smart contract functionality and is Solidity and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible, allowing existing Dapps on Ethereum to be easily ported over to Avalanche using familiar tooling. Ethereum assets can also be easily migrated via the Avalanche Bridge. Kyber will be in good company, as many popular Ethereum projects will soon be launching on Avalanche.
If KyberDMM is deployed on Avalanche, it would also be the first dynamic market maker protocol on Avalanche that enables liquidity providers to maximise their capital by achieving high capital efficiency for any token pair (not just stablecoins) while allowing traders to enjoy minimal slippage.
Why run a Joint Liquidity Mining Campaign
Liquidity incentives have proven to be crucial in attracting initial liquidity on a new network.
A well-designed liquidity mining campaign between Kyber and Avalanche can help:
- Bootstrap liquidity for key token pairs
- Showcase KyberDMM’s benefits of high capital efficiency and dynamic fees to liquidity providers
- Bring more DeFi participants and value into both the Avalanche and Kyber ecosystems
Overall, this will kick start KyberDMM’s role on Avalanche and help Kyber take the first steps in building a sustainable and scalable liquidity infrastructure there.
