Yearn Finance Newsletter #52
DeFi revenue aggregator Yearn Finance released the 52nd weekly report, which mainly includes the adoption of the new token economic model proposal, and future $YFI holders need to pledge tokens to participate in governance; DCA repurchase pilot program.
The Yearn Finance community approved proposal №65 on the new token economic model with 99.68% of the vote. According to the proposal, some $YFI tokens will be repurchased by the Treasury to reward $YFI holders who actively participate in year governance.
In order to strengthen the role of $YFI token in governance, several changes are proposed:
- The holder of $YFI obtains $xYFI by pledging $YFI, and the pledgor will obtain the additional $YFI share repurchased by Yearn Finance. When the price of $YFI increases, the pledgor can earn more income. This means that only pledged $YFI will be eligible to participate in project governance in the future.
- Users will be able to select the lock duration of $YFI. The longer the lock duration, the more rewards they can get. This mechanism reduces the circulating supply of $YFI. Users will also receive $veYFI tokens for voting, which is proportional to the time they lock in.
Contents of DCA repurchase pilot plan:
- The goal is to better understand the way DCAing repurchases internally.
- On the basis of quick voting, the team will allocate eth worth $1 million (249.376559 ETH, US $4010 per ETH) to the repurchase plan and create a 30 day $YFI position at the interest rate of 8.31255197 ETH per day in mean finance.
