1) I just talked with the @COVERProtocol team for the first time in a while.

I hadn't been privy to any of the planning of the tokenomics post they made yesterday.

They reached out today, asking for advice. This was the first time they had.
2) NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE
3) We talked, and I gave what I saw as the major feedback the community (and I) had:

a) the plan is shit for SAFE holders; it massively dilutes them down

b) the plan was drafted and announced without getting any feedback from the outside world
4) They were receptive to it.

I said, basically, that it didn't need tweaks -- it needed a total overhaul.

I suggested a few variants that I felt would be reasonable.
5) They are discussing.

They say they'll release a new proposal for COVER tokenomics soon which takes this into account.

Until then, I'm reserving judgement.
6) To be clear:

--I was listed as an advisor for COVER
--until today I was not asked for advice on anything
--until today I had no input on what was done
--today, they asked for my advice
--we'll see if they take it
--I'm not paid anything as an advisor
7) If there is not a new proposal, or there is one but it doesn't fairly represent token holders, then I will formally withdraw as an advisor to them. I might either way.

Hopefully there will be one, and it will be good.

We'll see.
8) And no matter what:

--NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE
--I have no idea what the price of COVER should be. Maybe it's way too high, idk, I literally haven't thought about it.
--DO NOT BUY COVER BASED ON WHAT I SAY. I'm just trying to help.
9) I don't personally find myself all that excited by the COVER protocol. I could be wrong!

But in addition to not being an endorsement of the token or team, it's not one of the project.

1) Brothers in arms
2) not (investment) advice
3) Two years ago, Alameda Research nearly ended.

The full story is messy and sordid and contentious, but the short version is that in a month we went from invicible to struggling.

While things were good, all the employees gave things the benefit of the doubt.

2) So, I *do* think AMMs make some sense for mean-reverty spreads.

Like some premiums.

Also, like USDC/TUSD/etc. (Curve!)
3) But you could do the same thing on a DEX.

the tricky thing here is that the two cases @cyounessi1 presents aren't quite the same.

Say there are two things--A and B--and over time A/B --> 1 (i.e. they converge).

In his case, treasuries and their futures.

1) has been extremely volatile today -- moving up and down 100's of percents.

Also huge difference between exchanges, and between spot and futures.

Overall it was a pretty eventful launch!

Two notes:

--index

--price bands and failed orders
2) There is now an index for !

Binance USDT
Binance BTC
Huobi USDT
Huobi BTC
Kraken USD

Funding is quite negative -- close to 1% per hour for longs. Watch out!
3) hit price bands a few times.

This is generally your responsibility to understand, and we make absolutely no promises going forward; we likely will _not_ do this again, and definitely not for anything except exactly this, but:
