[DAO Discussion] Proposal to burn $wMemo tokens

PLEASE READ: TOKENOMICS CHANGE

VOTE to buyback wMEMO below treasury backing price
VOTE to sell these purchased wMEMO tokens at a 20% higher rate
VOTE to not allow these these purchased wMEMO tokens to earn rewards

Example:
Step 1: Treasury buys back five (5) wMEMO at $50,000
Step 2: Treasury then lists these same five wMEMO at $60,000

Notes:

  1. Buying cheaper and selling higher solves multiple problems:
    a. Creates buying pressure (short term)
    b. Creates larger treasury balance when selling for profit later (long term)

  2. Treasury will start splitting profits 50/50 of stable coin profits and LPā€™s
    a. 50% goes to treasury to keep growing
    b. 50% goes to buyback wMEMO on open market. Positive effects below.
    1) Price goes up
    2) wMEMO becomes deflationary

  3. Treasury will start splitting profits 50/50 of investments like BetSwap or NFT games
    a. 50% goes to treasury to keep growing as seen fit
    b. 50% goes to wMEMO holders as rewards via airdrops

To conclude: Price goes up and wMEMO tokens decrease with the above changes. This is well balanced which favors not only the Wonderland holders, but it also helps grow the treasury.

Warm Regards,

I agree and have been saying this in discord for days now tagging sifu but he hasnā€™t given me his feedback yet. Can we turn this into a separate proposal please? I can help you if you like.

This is what I proposed in discord, what do you think? I think we are a big enough sub-community to try and get this message across. We can propose a wMEMO airdrop to loyal investors or an ā€œairdripā€ to incentivise long-term holders to not sell.

ā€œAs long term holders from November, we paid a huge premium because we are the true believers in wonderland. Itā€™s safe to say a lot of us DCA on the way down as well. I wish I had some more capital now to invest at these amazing prices but itā€™s unfortunately not possible at this specific time. Would it make any sense to reward long-term loyal holders by ā€œdrippingā€ wMEMO that was recently bought back by the treasury for a fixed time frame ie 1-2-3 months? We are not expecting crazy high APYs tbh. Anything will help and it may convince current investors to not sell and hold during current market conditions.ā€

thanks adamg6284, we need to help them focus on delivering profits based on what they know instead of venturing into very risky investments.

Thanks, @Ponzi for moving on the discussion for RCF.

BTW, itā€™s quite clear that the ā€œalgorithmā€ stable mechanism has failed. TIME is currently below $ 1k by several hours (aka below its minimum value declared in the docs).
It seems that the protocol is not working properly, has anyone taken a look at the code in order to verify if what is reported in the docs is consistent?

Instead of burning the tokens, It would be great if we can create a mechanisme to only reward long term holders with these buyback wMemoā€™s. Instead of using them for staking, we could airdrop them in small amounts over a long period of time, so we incentive to hold wMemo and not sell. This is also quite visible, good for marketing and the long run.

I think it is best to use these wMEMO tokens from buybacks later on when the price is higher as non dillutive mints!

This way the treasury could sell the wMEMO at a discount to the users and it would still get profits.

And we could benefit from it twice, one for the increase in treasury and backing price and another because we would be able to mint/bond at a discount.

Iā€™ve created a proposal for this if you agree that it is a better long term solution than burning them now. Check it out and give your feedback.

@kbanna and @Syn Please, letā€™s make together a separate proposal, We have to try to rally people to the cause ā€œDonā€™t burn it, spread it to the holdersā€ I have tried to move it on twitter and discord but it is difficult.
A massive airdrop to the Frog 3,3 believers is what would show that this project is different. We are here seeking our financial freedom by being part of something bigger than ourselves, the Frog Nation.
A massive airdrop that will turn the market upside down and attract the attention of the entire market, mainly small investors, Frogs that read about airdrops and have never received any.

Iā€™m of oppinion we that it should be 50% burn and 50% spread across all the hodlers accounts that didnā€™t sell during the cascade.

This is such an instant gratification mindset, burn to moon price. But for what?
If we keep buybacks going we can fill the treasury with $wMemo and then once the sentiment flips again we sell those back to the community as non-dilutive bonds. We can sell them at a profit and fill up the treasury to increase funds to farm that will eventually get each one of us higher dividends for profit sharing.
Also if the price stays down for some longer this gives people more opportunity to buy with new funds and also keeps the entry barrier for newcomers (that are crucial for growth) fairly low.
Thanks for your consideration to vote for option 3 and to not shoot ourselves in the legs because some people canā€™t stomach their portfolio being down for a few weeks/monthsā€¦

HI @Carli please add me on discord. My ID is @kbanna#8716 letā€™s formalise a proper proposal together then post it.

@Syn please feel free to join the conversation if you like.

Letā€™s aim to get it up within a week. Thanks!

I think the wMemo bought, and the others in treasury, should be resold as non-dilutive tokens through FTM/ETH network bonds to recover some value back for future investments. As for now we should totally eliminate $Time to contract market manipulation. Only Memo and wMemo should exist

@Carli @kbanna @Syn

If you believe your new proposal to be a ā€œbetter ideaā€ or that it should be part of this burn proposal, make sure to bring it up in the RFC for this proposal for other frogs to see and potentially incoporate it or swing the votes.

Otherwise, depending on how this goes, your proposal will/could get left behind.

I like that. But am not the mist knowledgeable.

Agree with what shadow said above. 50% burn and 50% spread across all the hodlers accounts that didnā€™t sell during the cascade.

I like option 1 and option 2 as well

i think both options will be great bcoz that make increase the value of tokens

@kbanna @Carli

I agree with @NalX.

I think the issue of creating a different proposal for the airdrop element is it risks becoming seperated from the burn process, when it needs to be done together with a burn to make the burn more stable and effective and to retain more holders. If the burn takes place before any airdrop, we run the risk of those long term holders sidestepping or selling completely when the price spikes, in a bid to regain their loss of % ownership. This just takes us in a circle and back to square one. It would be more effective therefore to add the airdrop option for when this burn proposal goes to RFC, once a preferred burn option has been established.

For example:

  1. Burn
  2. Aidrop and burn
  3. Do nothing

If we cannot get the airdrop element added to the vote, then of course Iā€™d support a seperate proposal, but I think it would be a less effective route.

IMO your ā€œoption 2ā€ is proposing two different things & I believe we should thus split this option. I am in favour of burning only the buybacks performed with the help of treasury.

I feel like this would reward mostly whales which is quite the opposite of what we should be doing.
