[WOOFi] [FINAL] [STIP - Round 1]

Thanks for the recommendation we will incorporate where needed. The grant allocation is carefully evaluated based on the historical stats and divided into multiple categories to maximize the effect that align with the goal of Arbitrum DAO

Regarding WOOFi Pro, the v1 mainnet of this product has been running on Near for a year. So this is a new iteration we decided to pivot to the EVM ecosystem. with the mainnet approaching rapidly, the incentives will allow us to position WOOFi Pro as an Arbitrum native product and to aid in all logistical problems hindering that feasibility. Incentives allocated there are completely aligned with greatering the Arbitrum on-chain experience and navigating the waters of CeFi <> DeFi. If successful, Arbitrum sits to onboard countless CEX traders onto a more onchain lifestyle built on top of Arbitrum. That being said, incentive allocation for WOOFi Pro is only 20% of total request and it is such a massive product.

And to some of your other concerns,

80% of WOOFi swap fees is distributed to WOOFi stakers and the rest is either given to WOOFi broker or WOOFi’s own treasury (non-broker flow) which was clearly said in our docs.

  • Lack of data on how much of WOOFi’s total revenue comes from swap fees

WOOFi Earn is an integral part of WOOFi’s liquidity, it has been part of Arbitrum ecosystem since it’s launched and providing Arbitrum users with one of the best single-sided yield farming opportunities on major assets.

focus less on WOOFi Earn, which is not yet fully part of the Arbitrum ecosystem.

@stonecoldpat @cliffton.eth @eli_defi pls help to change the proposal readiness status from [DRAFT] to [FINAL]. thanks!

Post has been marked FINAL and locked.

Vaultka fully supports WOOFi’s grant proposal. The idea of moving centralized exchange onchain with a DEX infrastructure breaks the wall between traditional traders and Defi Degens. WOOFi’s extensive range of products offers a comprehensive trading experience for users. By allocating the grant into segments aimed at improving user experience (such as WOOFi Earn rewards) and drawing in new users (like Swap Incentives), WOOFi has the potential to introduce fresh experiences and users to the Arbitrum ecosystem.

Being the DeFi arm of the WOO ecosystem, WOOFi is a platform that anyone can move assets across chains, swap them earn single-sided yield, and share 80% of all protocol revenue. Even though the amount is remarkably high, considering that all the benefits that come with it including the increase on on-chain activities, TVL, as well as onboarding users from other ecos, and collaboration between Arbitrum eco projects, make the budget requested reasonable and efficient
