Approved: Grant to Daosim Systems for the implementation of PowerAgent in their new project SupremeDAO

Ecosystem Grant Proposal: Grant to Daosim Systems for the implementation of PowerAgent in SupremeDAO (CVP Holder Voting on Snapshot currently open)

Abstract

Web3 and DeFi have enabled access to global liquidity and investment opportunities, however, complexity, information overload, risk management, and high volatility remains challenging and time-consuming. To bring the next billion users to DeFi we need a more accessible solution that simplifies treasury management, web3 investments, and interactions with DeFi protocols while maintaining an acceptable risk/reward ratio.

SupremeDAO is a venture project by Daoism Systems in its early stages that aims to be a fully trustless and automated system for reinvesting liquidity into various DeFi projects. For this purpose, we require automated smart contract execution. After analyzing existing technologies on the market such as Gelato, we have concluded that the flexibility of PowerAgent V2 aligns best with our long-term development objectives for full integration.

Central to the project are investment strategies aimed at generating yield. To kickstart the project, we will gradually design and make these strategies available to the users. PowerAgent aims to automate the execution of strategies and, therefore, provide users with one-click access to sophisticated DeFi strategies.

Strategy description

CurveFinance ecosystem is rapidly evolving, however most of the products around it are still cumbersome and hard to use. That’s why we came up with a strategy that will enable leveraged wstETH staking and yield generation on Aura all combined in one transaction and automated with PowerPool Agent. We will start with borrowing crvUSD against wstETH collateral to provide borrowed liquidity to a COIL/USDC pool on Aura. COIL is a token of SpiralDAO, which was launched this year, offering an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) of over 100%. Our strategy is based on the following steps:

1. Stake on Aura:

To implement the strategy, the following steps are needed:

  1. Buy wstETH on curve.fi
  2. Open CDP on https://crvusd.curve.fi/
  3. Borrow crvUSD
  4. Exchange crvUSD to USDC on Curve
  5. Provide liquidity to the COIL/USDC Pool on Balancer
  6. Stake LP tokens on Aura Finance
  7. The farmed rewards are automatically restaked and/or used to improve the collateral health (see next step).

2. Collateral health monitor:

The new “soft liquidation” feature by Curve offers a lower risk of full liquidation; however, a risk mitigation strategy is still necessary to avoid losses. Therefore, our goal is not to lose collateral on soft liquidations when the price is too volatile. To achieve this goal, we will take the following steps:

  1. Check dynamic collateral health status (every 1 hour)
  2. If collateral health goes lower than 15%, sell some of farmed CRV to crvUSD to increase the health status

3. On withdraw:

If a user wants to withdraw their investment and generated yield, the following steps need to be done:

  1. Withdraw LP tokens from Aura with X% staked
  2. Send to Curve and close a X% of the CDP (n USD)
  3. Withdraw (n USD) worth of wstETH from the CDP
  4. Send (n USD) worth of wstETH to the user

PowerAgent Integration

As you can see, the strategy requires many steps, time investment, and knowledge of the protocols used to implement it. Our goal with SupremDAO is to automate these steps to ensure the users have the best possible experience.

PowerAgent enhances the system’s functionality by enabling automated interactions between the Oracle and Strategy Module. This ensures real-time data utilization and efficient execution of strategies.

  • The Price Oracle module needs to be triggered regularly, such as every hour, to ensure the system has up-to-date and accurate pricing information.
  • The Strategy module is responsible for executing various strategies, and PowerAgent will trigger their execution based on the number and purpose of the strategies.

Roadmap / Deliverables

  1. Design a working prototype to demonstrate core features:
  • Define product’s main functionalities.
  • Develop a basic simulation in Python.
  1. Smart Contract (SC) with test coverage:
  • Design and code the smart contract.
  • Write and run thorough tests.
  1. Deployment of SC on the mainnet:
  • Deploy and verify the contract.
  1. Fully functional product interface:
  • Design and finalize the UI/UX.
  • Implement frontend functionalities.
  • Deploy the front-end app accessible through an iframe.

For steps one to four, we estimate a total duration of five to six weeks.

Motivation

By completing the proposal, the Powerpool community will benefit from a functioning automated DeFi use case. The growth and expansion of SupremeDAO, along with the potential utilization of PowerAgent in future strategies, will attract more projects to the ecosystem.

Grant/Compensation

For the implementation, testing, writing of the tutorial & blog post, and scaling of PowerAgent in our system according to the development plan, we would like to request 20.000USD paid in CVP tokens. The payment will be split into four stages, linked to the successful achievement of each of the four milestones described in the “Roadmap / Deliverables.” We will receive $5,000 worth of CVP tokens upon the completion of each milestone.

First and foremost, I’d like to commend Isolo and the team behind this proposal for their forward-thinking approach and dedication to the PowerPool ecosystem. The integration of PowerAgent into SupremeDAO, as outlined, showcases the potential and versatility of our platform.

I’m genuinely optimistic about the direction this proposal is taking us. The collaboration with Daosim Systems and the envisioned functionalities of SupremeDAO can significantly enhance the protocol’s capabilities. It’s a testament to the adaptability and potential of PowerAgent, and I believe it will serve as a beacon for other projects to see the value in integrating with PowerPool.

That being said, while I’m personally in favor of this proposal, the strength of our community lies in its collective decision-making. I’m eager to see the broader community’s feedback, thoughts, and concerns. It’s essential that we all weigh in, as these decisions shape the future trajectory of PowerPool.

In my view, collaborations like these not only improve the technical aspects of our protocol but also play a pivotal role in strengthening our community bonds. They bring fresh perspectives, new use-cases, and, most importantly, showcase the real-world applicability of our solutions.

I encourage everyone to delve deep into the proposal, ask questions, and share your insights. Let’s ensure that any decision we make is well-informed and in the best interest of the entire PowerPool community.

This is a well-targeted and therefore very welcome proposal. Ethereum staking is still only about 23%, and will rise to around 50% over the next few years. This means another doubling at least of the TVL in real yield-bearing LST formats. PowerPool itself will specialise only in LST-based asset management products like $LSTETH, all powered by the PowerAgent Automation Network. Automated farming of extrinsic yield on LSTs will be a key capability for automated diversified multi-LST baskets like $LSTETH, including farming with leverage as managed by the DAO. We expect to work closely with core primitives like Curve, Balancer and Aura on automating these kinds of activities.

Subject to technical due diligence and appropriate management of milestones and testing, I very much support this grant application.

SupremeDao has well articulated the integration of their product, Daosim Systems, with the PowerAgent automation network through this proposal, providing both graphics and a deep technical explanation. Their requested grant seems quite reasonable for the scope of work presented.

Moreover, this proposal represents a significant step towards increasing DeFi’s reach and efficiency. The integration of PowerAgent into SupremeDao holds the promise of creating pioneering DeFi standards and increasing interest in automated solutions. This initiative not only marks a commendable advance in technical development, but also stands as a testament to the expansion of our vibrant crypto community.

Therefore, I support this proposal because of its potential to usher in a new era of DeFi innovation and accessibility.

I am most certainly supporting this proposal and I believe this strategic move can help PowerPool Community to expand more and bring more solidity to the protocol structure and infra.

Let’s do it!
