3. The New Protocol Design
TL;DR Cashio revival project will accept stable pair LPs as collateral to mint the base pair stable coin (OURO) which can be used for farming rewards on Quarry as usual - but the only way to access governance power over the permalocked SBR/SUNNY in the vault is to purchase the Treasury Token (BOROS) using the stable coin itself in a POM that redirects liquidity to a guaranteed floor price.
- Idea- Ouroboros, Ouro/Boros
- Stablecoin: Ouro/ Treasury Token: Boros
- Ouroboros represents the infinity of time flowing back unto itself, in a never-ending cycle, as if caught in an eternal loop. Ouroboros first appeared in Egypt, in 13th century BC.
- Throughout the ages, Ouroboros has been interpreted and used in a variety of ways by a plethora of cultures. One of the most common interpretations is that the symbol represents the interconnectedness and infinity of the Universe.
- We could adopt it as our protocol name since it represents the interconnectedness of the emerging open financial system & the nearly infinite potential for value creation in DeFi - as depicted by how we can create value to return to Cashio Exploit victims.
- Already multiple coin designs to take inspiration from for Ouro and Boros, and could lend itself to a simple but fitting UI aesthetic that could be 🤌 and very different from the colorful, meme-filled Cashio aesthetic.
- Cashio will partner with Saber to revive the project under a DAO which will be operated primarily by Cashio victims - who will be given a large portion of value in the form of call options on the floor price of the Treasury Token. This DAO will issue a new stable coin (OURO) which Saber will support as a decentralized neutral base pair.
