Freezing the rebase for 72 hours

Big Whales are draining Wonderland Money by adding funds 1 minute before the rebase and cashing out 1 minute after. This action can be potentially reduced by implementing a 72 hours freeze time in order to start receiving rebasing rewards or to allow the first 9 rebases to mature as normal but only redeemable after 72 hours…

This sounds reasonable to stop whales using Wonderland as a play thing as opposed to using it as a investment vehicle.

Another idea is to allow the first 9 rebases to mature as normal but only redeemable after 72 hours.

Rebases are NOT paid out from the Treasury.

These rebase trades are not a problem as Sifu and other mods have stated. No need to freeze

Can be done a progresive vesting withdrawal into 72 hours or even more? One can get 10% in at the moment and than slowly withdraw more if need it (paying fees :wink: ) or can just wait till a the end of vesting … meanwhile the state of transactions can be somehow reflected in a strategy … an the $time gets time to react to it (incentvise, marketing, etc…)

Just no and never freeze the rebasing. Let investors do whatever they want with their assets. This is Defi and even your institutianal bank will never freeze your account. This proposition is the exact opposit of we are involved here. I respect your way of thinking but no (whales or not).

Start the rebase after first 72 hours

Could you just not receive the first rebase if you stake under 60 min until the next rebase?

I like where the idea is to fight the whales, but i"m definitely not a fan of holding money hostage for 72 hours, if i want to pull out my money out for whatever reason i shouldn’t have to wait for my funds.

This seems like a hot topic and has been posted 3 times already, but there is no reason to lock anything. People who try to stake and unstake for profit are usually rekt by slippage fees and price action. Which goes into the treasury making us more money. You would have to be the first one in and out to gain any sort of money.

They are draining nothing. This is such a nonissue. Can people please top proposing solutions for a problem that is not real.

I think freezing would seem a bit overreaching because I would not have full control over my money.

New investors would be weary of a project that could go under and they’d still have to wait days to get their money back.

I suggested dynamic rebasing in my general discussion - Stop In-And-Out Stakers Using Dynamic Rebasing

Nothing good comes out of trying to control people’s behavior by force, in the long run we will create a healthy trend in behavior, all factors are important in the organic growth of the project, what we really need is to be more patient, remember that this project is only 3 months old.

Im pretty torn on if this is even a problem. After having this conversation in discord with multiple people the real question boils down to:

  • where are they taking the funds after they unstake?
  • are they actually selling $TIME after a rebase?
  • where are they trading the assets and what are they paying in liquidity provider fees?

Basically answer this: are they actually profiting after the trade?

TraderJoe: .2999% LP fee x 2 = 0.6%.
Example rebase: 0.6129%
Example amount: 20,000,000

20000000 * .0129% = 2,580 @ 0 slippage
2,580 x 3 times daily = 7,740 @ 0 slippage

So if they are making money on 20 million its insane to me that they chase that type of return.

Thank you for your math.

Highly doubt this is an actual issue, however, it could be worth it if you have rebases happening above the trading fees. Even at a measly 0.0387% profit that @steven87vt showed.

With the explosion of rebase protocols, we did some math to see if we could automate capturing all rebases across multiple protocols. This could potentially turn the usual 3 rebases per day into 3 * P where P is the number of protocols. With 5 protocols you could get 15 rebases a day. Even at the measly 0.0387% max gain per rebase @steven87vt has shown, compounded 15 times a day makes for a phenomenal return:

Net 7,740 per rebase on 20M = 0.0387% per rebase (per Steven’s best case example)
3 rebases per day * 5 protocols = 15 rebases per day

20M * 1.000387^15 - 20M = $116k profit 1 day
20M * 1.000387^(15 * 30) - 20M = $3.8M profit 1mo
20M * 1.000387^(15 * 90)- 20M = $13.7M profit 3mo
20M * 1.000387^(15 * 365)- 20M = $146M profit 1yr

Considering only Wonderland, and not moving between multiple protocols, it is still >50% annual return:

20M * 1.000387^(3 * 365) - 20M = $10.6M profit 1yr

Folks could be very incentivized to do this as you could also limit your exposure to the underlying asset value changes. You could swap into other (stable) tokens except for the couple minutes you need to be staked for the rebase. This would add more fees, however, the limit on risk may be a motivator.

Again, due slippage, constant APY fluctuations, swap fees, complication of the strategy, and risks associated with that kind of movement, I don’t believe this is currently an issue or will be.

A 72 hour lock would not achieve anything except for stifle new investment

The value extracted by rebase sniping is trivial

Making rebases more frequent would be a better idea.

What you could do instead is to introduce a smart check in service that would evaluate the bundle you want to stake. Small amount no freezing as there is no need, bigger amounts would have let’s say 72 hrs and whales much longer and a cool off period. Or let’s introduce a rebase that does not kick in unless you actually had the amount in for the full rebase term

Just a personal preference. I do not like the idea of locking up my time/memo/wmemo for any amount of time. The idea of it being “easily accessible” sells it for me.
