ETHCC Takeaways / new focus points

​

Methodologist recruitment

​

• We need to focus on bringing on top-tier methodologists
• This goes hand-in hand with our fee split discussion
• We need to start thinking about designing economic systems that are attractive for all stakeholders
• Token Terminal, Galaxy Digital, Polygon all in the mix as compelling methodologists

​

Liquidity providers want high quality LP pairs

​

• Lots of big liquidity providers are actively trying to move away from super high APY farm and dump strategies
• Looking for long-term low volatility liquidity pairs made up of high value tokens
• We need to highlight this (alongside our use cases as collateral)
• Surprising little education or sophistication here by major investors
