Hey @mcgala,
Great to see some additional topics that aren’t just from me, so really pleased to see an additional suggestion here.
Maybe some useful background info; Keep3r is already working towards brining the jobs network multichain including to optimism in partnership with Connext & Nomad. However, I believe that is likely still a few months out from today & will probably be focused on offering automation of tasks to existing ecosystem protocols
On the purely FixedForex side; as long as end-users can bridge ibXXX assets then there isn’t much of a barrier to users bringing liquidity to Optimism. It also looks as though Iron Bank is getting ready to deploy to Optimism too, based on activity over at their github, so theoretically as long as the IB_controller is prepared to approve supply of new ibXXX to the optimism markets (or burn some of existing supply in ETH) then lending could happen directly on Optimism. This would be especially interesting if Iron Bank bring their long-promised own incentive program to this new market.
There would be some hoops to jump through getting new curve pools launched on optimism and having them added to the gauge controller. It would also mean Keep3r team has to try to maintain incentives for pools across multiple networks - which is tricky given that supporting the number of existing pools is already quite challenging
Although with Synthetix and Iron Bank both over on Optimism then two of the major partners are already “in” on the ecosystem. If Fixed Forex doesn’t move there then it will raise the question of whether new partners more closely aligned to Ethereum network would be a better fit.
To play the role of devil’s advocate a little though;
- How do you see Velodrome playing a role in Fixed Forex on Optimism, especially given the history?
- How likely do you think it is that Fixed Forex can time entrance to gain benefits of OP incentives?
