@oak_xyz As we're seeing "everyone" can launch non kyc dex, and its easy for heavy pockets to manipulate and inflate price. What matters is ethos and alignment and cant see cz as a positive influence on the space anymore
@oak_xyz Imo i dont think its that big of a moat, sure while its meta and farmable can suceed, specially with inflated metrics, i see it more of a binance "desperation" play. What happens once its not meta anymore and cz finds new shiny toy?
If you liked the HIP-3 exchange 1M HYPE stake requirement, you'll love the spot quote asset 200k HYPE stake requirement
Soon, builders will be able to permissionlessly create ANY/QUOTE orderbooks on Hypercore spot
Each quote asset provider must maintain a 200k HYPE stake for 3 years which is slashable if the quote asset does not meet the following set liquidity requirements for more than 3 days
1) 100k USDC in buy and sell liquidity at +-0.2% on QUOTE/USDC
2) 1M USDC in buy and sell liquidity at +-1% on QUOTE/USDC
3) 50k QUOTE in buy and sell liquidity at +-0.5% on QUOTE/HYPE
Some Observations:
1) Conditions 1 & 2 mean this currently only applies to USD stablecoins -- they will expand to non-stable quote assets in a future upgrade
2) Conditions 1-3 potentially imply HL will natively allow for orderbook hops
3) Interestingly, there are no liquidity requirements on ANY/QUOTE orderbooks
This would obviously set the bar a lot higher and there are already many tickers with very illiquid orderbooks on Hypercore, but I think it would make sense to introduce basic minimum liquidity requirements on all orderbooks to make sure they are actually usable. HIP-3 already imposes requirements that ensure sufficient liquidity on permissionless perps
Something like a minimum of $20-40k of liquidity on both sides would make sense imo -- any serious project has the means for that (they already put up $100k+ in AMM liquidity) and any meme launchpad can easily collect $80k in liquidity before bonding
We will soon see every stablecoin on HL and major Unit asset as a quote asset on Hypercore + more
With 8+ stablecoins and 3 major Unit assets already, we can safely count 2.2M HYPE as locked for the next 3 years
There just is not enough HYPE to go around.
