Summary
To add ZKS incentives on Polygon to expand ZKSwap’s multi-chain mission.
Abstract
The Polygon ecosystem is a suite of Ethereum scaling solutions with Plasma and PoS chain live and running. ZKSwap is also deployed on the PoS chain but volumes and liquidity are minimal due to absence of any incentives (from both parties). Polygon has DEXes but depth of blue-chip pairs suffers, resulting in price slippage on a $100k transaction. ZKSwap, with its brand image and loyal following should capitalise on this gap. For eg. alloc points can be allocated for the top 5 pairs like ETH-wBTC, ETH-USDC, ETH-MATIC, ETH-DAI and wBTC-USDC. In addition to pairs which community proposes.
Background
The purpose of this partnership is to expedite ZKSwap’s multi-chain vision and create new opportunities for Liquidity providers to generate revenue. Going this route, I believe shouldn’t hurt liquidity on L2 Sushiswap primarily due to 2 reasons -
AAVE recently launched the LM campaign on Polygon and saw TVL soar quickly, but this did not come at a cost to Aave Ethereum mainnet. In fact, they saw an overall 25%+ increase in no. of unique users on Aave. At the time of writing, AAVE had over 6000 active users on Aave Polygon and close to 1.7 B in liquidity (10% of overall market) in less than 3 weeks.
We know there are two categories of LPs/traders - one are the whales and second the retail. Whales for a multitude of reasons might not move funds over to another chain but the retail will happily cross networks to capture the early APYs/fees. This will generate more transaction volume for ZKSwap and hence more revenue for ZKS. This where ZKSwap can capture most value by including traders that are priced out on Eth mainnet.
For
ZKS rewards activated on Polygon deployment. Polygon maybe matches the rewards.
Against
No requirement of ZKS rewards on Polygon.
