Proposal: Rethinking Capital Allocation
RyanWatkins shared this proposal on Oct. 28. Here’s the summary:
Yearn is DeFi’s leading yield aggregator and continues to be one of the most exciting community-run projects in DeFi. It only took two months for this project to grow from relative obscurity into a $450 million DeFi powerhouse. Still, Yearn is in its infancy and there’s still a lot of work to be done. This YIP could meaningfully improve the attractiveness of contributing to Yearn, by providing contributors with upside exposure to YFI. …

When will ySwap be in production? Is there any more detailed doc on how ySwap can almost eliminate IL?
Currently, none of Yearn’s devs are working on ySwap and are instead focused on other things such as v2 yVaults as well as new strategies. However, you can see that ySwap is still in Andre’s backlog of projects (https://twitter.com/bantg/status/1318146715594199042?s=20). The most up to date info we have on ySwap is in our docs (https://docs.yearn.finance/r-and-d/yswap) along with the initial blog post (https://medium.com/iearn/yswap-exchange-99bf906311db).
