Hi Gnostik. My reasoning behind the first two points is that if we provide a GNO reward to users that participate in the pool, we make them stake holders of the GnosisDAO, given that they can start voting. This would naturally create an incentive for them to stay up to date with the DAO proposals and other Gnosis activities.
Regarding increasing liquidity, GNO was fairly illiquid last year, specially in DEXs. Fortunately we now have liquidity in Uniswap and Balancer. I see value in having more liquidity in Sushi, in order to cover the 3 most used DEXs in the space. Sushiswap liquidity for the pair just spiked given that there is now a Sushi reward, I’d expect it to increase even more if we add an additional reward on top.
Regarding incentives for protocols, we are working on v2 for Gnosis Protocol DEX. Would love to hear if you have any ideas on how to incentivise takers there. You can join the discussion here → Should Gnosis Build Gnosis Protocol v2? - #11 by c3rnst
