Hyperbridge has put up a proposal in collaboration with Bifrost, to launch a Polkadot liquidity campaign across multiple chains outside of the Polkadot ecosystem. The targeted chains for the liquidity campaign includes Arbitrium, Base, BNB and Ethereum Mainnet. The requested amount is 795,000 DOT which will serve as incentives to liquidity providers, rewarded in vDOT. This proposal is geared at increasing the DOT liquidity and mindshare across multiple ecosystems which will in-turn funnel liquidity and users back to the Polkadot ecosystem.
The over 5.2mill DOT earmarked by Ref1104 to be DCA'd into USDC and USDT still remains 3.7 million DOT on a schedule over 260 days before the completion of the swap on Hydration. There is a discussion to supply the 3.7 million DOT remaining to be DCA's into Hydrations money market as collateral to boost generate yield for the treasury and boost liquidity for borrowers. The DCA will continue even with the DOT still supplied on Hydration's money market.
