Dear KuSwappers,
The moment we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived! It’s time to reveal the carefully designed proposals for KuSwap v3. The KuSwap Finance team has been working tirelessly to bring you a complete and exciting package of improvements. So, without any more delay, let’s dive right into the exciting world of possibilities that KuSwap v3 has to offer. Get ready to join us on this thrilling journey!
Summary
This 3-part proposal revolves around the migration of the KuSwap DEX to v3 upon approval of KUSGOV. The key benefits include improved economy, functionality, and security, bringing KuSwap to the forefront of DeFi technological advancements.
Objective
The primary objective of this proposal is to migrate the KUS token from its existing version to v3 to unlock new opportunities and benefits for KUSGOV holders and other participants in the KuSwap Ecosystem. The migration will enable KuSwap to capitalize on the advancements introduced in the latest version, enhancing user experience, scalability, and optimizing the incentivization of liquidity and governance within the ecosystem.
Stages
In order to ensure that everyone is well-informed and has sufficient time to ask questions and understand the proposal, we will be implementing a three-stage voting process.
1️⃣ Protocol Changes (We are Here)
Stage 1 is all about protocol changes and additional features.
2️⃣ Tokenomics Changes
Stage 2 is all about changes in the supply, distribution, and emissions of the KUS token
3️⃣ Migration Plan
Stage 3 is all about the migraton plan and how the migration will be executed.
Stage 1: Protocol Changes
- Deployment of a new utility token (KUS) on KCC
A new utility token with the same ticker KUS will be deployed on KCC. Existing KUS Holders wil be able to convert into the new KUS token while existing KUSGOV Holders will be airdropped tokens proportional to their KUSGOV Holdings.
2. Deployment of a new governance token (veKUS) on KCC
A new governance token with a different ticker (veKUS) will be deployed on KCC. Holders of the new utility token KUS will be able to vote-escrow or “lock” them for a specific period to get veKUS governance tokens.
3. Implementation of a on-chain gauge voting mechanism
veKUS Holders will be able to vote which pools will receive emissions. Liquidity pools will receive KUS emissions in proportion to the votes they receive.
4. Implementation of bribes on the KuSwap Platform
Liquidity Providers (including protocols who have their liquidity on KuSwap) will have the option to bribe veKUS holders in order to incentivize them to vote for their pool. This is an additional source of income for veKUS holders that doesn’t add to the inflation.
5. Implementation of KUS Rebase
veKUS Holders will continuously receive a 30% Rebase for the duration of their locked period. This rebase is aimed to offset losses introduced by inflation due to emissions.
6. Real Yield.
veKUS holders receive 100% of the fees generated by the exchange.
Expected Outcome
By offering more utilities and offsetting dilution through rebasing, KUS holders and farmers will be incentivized to lock into veKUS. The Real Yield enables veKUS holders to earn passive income and the power to decide the emissions. This will result in a flywheel effect where the system incentivizes further relocking of their KUS Earnings.
