Housekeeping
- KIP-35: Streamlined Tokenomics has passed unanimously! A timeline for implementation will be announced after the winter break.
Product [1:35]
- The Product team has built a UI for the TxRelay node, which is now ready to hand off to prospective partners.
- The team is resuming work on an app integration for a third-party platform.
- Improvements are being made for the user experience of inputting custom token addresses.
Protocol [2:20]

Governance [3:10]
- Catch up with the recent AMA with the Phuture team from this week’s Governance Workshop.
- The Governance and Protocol teams are working to identify a new Sophon to replace Doge.
- KIP-36 - Expand Funding and Strategies of Testing Wallet: Originally $600K was allocated to the testing wallet effort. Due to the success in generating yield, an additional $400K in DAI funding is being requested.
- KIP-37 - Discretionary Swapping of Like-Kind Assets: Currently, the treasury must go through the slow governance process to swap like-kind assets. This proposal would mitigate risk by giving the treasury the discretion to swap between stablecoins, Ethereum/ETH derivatives, and Bitcoin/BTC derivatives.
- KIP-38 - Replenishing Discretionary Allocation Fund: This gives the treasury the ability to quickly react to and take advantage of market opportunities in a non-public manner. This proposal would replenish the cap to the lesser of $5M or 5% of the treasury’s notional value.
- KIP-39 - Deployment of Additional ETH for Yield Generation: The ETH yield generation experiment has been successful, so there is a desire to increase the limit to 80% of idle ETH.
