Gyroscope Initiative: BOLD/USDC

About the Protocol

Gyroscope designs user-friendly AMMs.

The latest product: passive, concentrated liquidity for any asset pair. The pool manages liquidity positions, creating a ‘set-and-forget’ UX for LPs. The pool design also implies that yield is more predictable (no competition between LPs for the right tick) and barriers to entrance (no active position management required) are removed.

Often neglected, but all the more important, Gyroscope pools show great performance for LPs after accounting for adverse selection / ‘impermanent loss’. This is illustrated in this Dune query tracking markouts for a Gyroscope pool and respective Uniswap/ Aerodrome pools.

Proposal Overview

Gyroscope will calibrate and deploy a custom ‘Dynamic E-CLP’ for BOLD/USDC.

The pool will be tailored to a regime where BOLD trades at parity. Should BOLD ever trade above/ below par for a sustained period, another dedicated pool may be deployed.

Usage of the funds received

Received BOLD will be redistributed to LPs via Merkl.

Impact for BOLD

This pool will improve BOLD liquidity on secondary markets. The pool also offers passive exposure to concentrated liquidity for BOLD, allowing users to seamlessly earn swap fees / receive BOLD incentives.

Threshold & Target

There is no minimum amount of BOLD required for this proposal to be delivered. Any received BOLD will be forwarded to LPs via Merkl.

Impact Measurement, Tracking and Key Metrics

Key metrics to track: (1) capital efficiency (volume / TVL) and (2a) positive LP markouts (profitable for LPs) or (2b) high sustained swap fees and (3) less slippage for BOLD/USDC trades.

Metrics will be tracked on the Gyroscope / Balancer UI and Dune.

Reporting

The Gyroscope X account and Gyroscope community members will cover this initiative.

Covered metrics will be: capital efficiency, volume, TVL, markouts, swap fee yield of LPs.
