## GP14 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - CompX

The xUSD/ALGO pool is pivotal in maintaining the $xUSD peg, leveraging $ALGO’s high liquidity and notable volatility as a pairing asset. The priority should be clear: drive xUSD/ALGO liquidity growth through targeted incentives of 100K ALGO.

## GP13 DeFi rewards (TDR) Proposal - Tinyman

Incentivizing the TINY/ALGO pool fosters growth for the TinyMan platform, which in turn drives the success of the entire ecosystem.

## GP13 DeFi rewards (TDR) Proposal - Tinyman

If TinyMan is considered a crucial part of the broader DeFi ecosystem, its success is pivotal to the overall success of the ecosystem.

## GP13 DeFi rewards (TDR) Proposal - Tinyman

I fully agree with this point. Furthermore, I recommend prioritizing incentives for Folks Finance lending pools as they simultaneously support lending and DEX protocols. However, I disagree with the stance on $TINY TDR allocation. This is an ideal use case for TDR.

## GP13 DeFi rewards (TDR) Proposal - Pact

I would reallocate TDR from the following pools:
- goUSD/xUSD
- USDC/goUSD
- mALGO/USDC
- SILVER$/xUSD
- GOLD$/xUSD
- FINITE/ALGO

to the following lending pools:
- $fALGO/$fWBTC
- $fALGO/$fWETH
- $fALGO/$fAVAX
- $fALGO/$fLINK
- $fUSDC/$fEURS  
The rationale is:

Incentivize Wormhole bridged assets with high market potential.

## GP13 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - AlgoRai

The community cannot proceed with allocating TDR to Project X without first understanding what it entails.

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Folks Finance

Could you provide further details about the “bridging program”?

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Pact Fi

TDR’s primary goal is to grow the overall Algorand DeFi ecosystem. With this in mind, I propose the following changes:
- Reallocate mALGO TDR because Messina refuses to disclose their future plans for mALGO with governance rewards being phased out.
- Reallocate gALGO TDR because gALGO is planned to be phased out of governance rewards.

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Folks Finance

Considering the planned sunset of gALGO, I suggest reallocating TDR from gALGO towards wAsset lending pools. The primary objective of TDR is to foster growth within the Algorand DeFi ecosystem.

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Cometa

50% META Pools:  
The existing incentives for the META/ALGO pool by Tinyman and Pact highlight its importance for further incentivization. I propose reallocating TDR rewards from META/USDC, META/gALGO, and META/mALGO to the following:
- 13% META/ALGO Tinyman
- 13% META/ALGO Pact

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Algomint

I cannot endorse TDR allocation for goMint and goUSD. If such allocation is proposed, I will vote against it.

## GP12 DeFi Rewards (TDR) Proposal - Algomint

I do not support allocating TDR towards incentivizing goUSD. At this point, I recommend sunsetting the goUSD product and focusing all resources on goBTC and goETH.

Keep it simple:
- Pact Lending Pools
- ALGO/goBTC 10%

## General Discussion

Using a finger-in-the-air approach to gauge public opinion on the issue is not a viable solution. I recommend using [MakerDAO](https://makerdao.com/) as the model. A monetary policy encoded and enforced by smart contracts is required. The first step is to define the monetary policy goals.

That’s not what I said. Before replying, please read more carefully.

## GP12 DeFi Rewards - Meld Gold

I updated my original post with my rationale.

## GP11 DeFi Rewards - Meld Gold

I agree. The discussion is getting too political. The Algorand Foundation clearly outlined the objectives:
… the objective of contributing to ecosystem liquidity, supporting TVL growth, and strengthening dApps’ critical mass.

## GP11 DeFi Rewards - Meld Gold

Liquidity optimization: Streamlining liquidity by reallocating resources from smaller pool rewards towards more significant pairs.

## Consensus rewards whitepaper concern

The focus should be on incentivizing quality liquidity with underlying real-world value.

## Feedback request on proposed Q4 2022 governance measures

I like the idea of budgets. First, we need to clarify the total ALGO budget per Governance period. The numbers don’t line up with [ALGO tokenomics](https://www.algorand.foundation/tokenomics).

## Feedback request on proposed Q4 2022 governance measures

You need liquidity for the DeFi platforms to be usable.

## Feedback request on proposed Q4 2022 governance measures

I wholeheartedly disagree regarding Measure #1 counter-proposal. The biggest problem that is holding back Algorand DeFi ecosystem growth is liquidity growth.
