[MS] DOT #1555 - Volmex Integration with Polkadot DEX Ecosystem
closed
Description

https://polkadot.subsquare.io/referenda/1555

Volmex Labs has proposed integrating their leading volatility indices, BVIV and EVIV, with Hydration, a Polkadot-native decentralized perpetual futures exchange. This integration aims to enhance Polkadot's DeFi capabilities and strengthen its ecosystem. The project involves smart contract development, platform-specific adaptations, advanced liquidity management, and security audits. The budget for this three-year initiative is $425,000 USDC, covering initial integration, maintenance, legal compliance, and market campaigns. The timeline spans nine months for the initial rollout and three years for continuous upgrades and expansions. The team's expertise includes top-tier talent from traditional finance, crypto quant groups, and software powerhouses. Performance metrics and success criteria include technical metrics, adoption metrics, and a risk management framework. Future developments include the rollout of Prime Rate Indices, Factor ETF Indices, and ongoing Volmex indices methodology enhancements.

Perps are a great product to attract serious DeFi traders. This is a clear Aye.

With the clear push towards DeFi and Asset Hub being just around the corner, I think it's a good time to expand the products offered through DeFi operations in Polkadot.

Can't see direct benefit to polkadot and align with concerns raised by polkaworld.

I'd like to understand the adoption metrics better - not just what they are, but what the targets are, to better understand the potential effectiveness of the spend here.

Expanding the DeFi palette on Polkadot is essential for its userbase growth. This can be another great tool for DeFi users and this can help Hydration to shine even more in the crypto-trading zone. Aye.

We think that we need more things like this, especially with the launch of Polkadot Hub.

I'm not sold on this being a good use of treasury funds at this time, but I am not well-versed in DeFi matters so I am abstaining in case I am wrong. :)

It may turn out a useful addition to and expansion for the Polkadot ecosystem, yet I'm not sure whether the relay chain treasury is the right source of funds for this endeavor. It seems more appropriate to me that the DeFi chains that are going to utilize this product come together and fund it out of their own treasuries. However, it can be useful when contracts arrive on the Hub, but it's still probably too early. I abstain, closer to nay, noting that this offer should be reevaluated when contracts arrive on the Hub.
