iBTC pool on Beamswap - Which asset pair?
Ended 6mos ago
closed
Description

One of the next integrations, with the fastest time-to-market, is Beamswap, a DEX on Moonbeam (https://beamswap.io/).

The Beamswap team would like to open an iBTC pool - the question at hand: which asset does the Interlay community want iBTC to be paired with?

There are a few factors to consider, including liquidity, impermanent loss risk, and diversification of integrations.

You can find the top liquid assets on Beamswap here: https://analytics.beamswap.io/tokens

This poll suggests picking one of:

(A) multiUSDC

  • Pros: no 1 in liquidity ($580k), stablecoin.
  • Cons: centralized (Circle), bridge risk (multichain bridge)

(B) GLMR

  • Pros: no 2 in liquidity ($570k), Polkadot native (no bridge risk). Overall high liquidity on Moonbeam
  • Cons: volatile asset, iBTC/GLMR pool already on Stellaswap

(C) multiBUSD

  • Pros: no 3 in liquidity ($370k), stablecoin
  • Cons: centralized (Binance), bridge risk (multichain bridge)

(D) DOT

  • Pros: most liquid asset on Polkadot, used as iBTC collateral, native (no bridge risk)
  • Cons: low liquidity on Beamswap, competes with liquid staking

(E) INTR

  • Pros: Interlay-native pairing, INTR paid to Vaults as rewards, native (no bridge risk)
  • Cons: no liquidity on Beamswap, limited on Moonbeam (needs to come via XCM)

You can vote for one option (your highest preference).

@Vaults / existing iBTC users: Please indicate if you are a Vault / existing iBTC user when you vote. Reason: while all INTR holders can and should vote, it helps to understand the demands of already active iBTC users specifically.

Often DEX trading pairs are in a hub-and-spoke arrangement so DEXs can route through hub tokens to exchange two tokens that have no direct trading pair. Incentivizing just an INTR/iBTC pool doesn't accomplish that because INTR doesn't have thick DEX liquidity either. Therefore to reduce trading fees for the INTR token overall I think an INTR/GLMR or INTR/DOT pairing would provide better deep liquidity.

I can understand that vault operators being paid in INTR might want to be able to directly purchase iBTC. But it would remain an isolated pair (INTR/iBTC) not adding a lot of value for general INTR owners. As a vault operator myself, I'd prefer to sell INTR for DOT to put back into the vault to increase my capacity to service more BTC.
