👷‍♀️ POSDAO Updates

success

The protocol is currently in Epoch 58.
**
**
There are 16 validator pools with 272 delegators staking a total of 608,769 STAKE - over 75% of the total STAKE supply on xDai.

The new Stakefish pool has the highest amount staked, with 97K+ in the pool.

High pool APY is currently 18.28%, low is 10.92% (stats as of 28/05/2021 14:30 UTC).

✏️ Protocol Updates

Prior Pending Claims Amnesty

Assets worth more than 360K were sent to users on Ethereum from prior pending claims from the xDaiBridge and the Omnibridge. These assets consisted of pending claims where users had not completed the process on mainnet. Many had been in the contract for months. The funds were released from the bridge contracts and the xDai team paid the tx fees totaling 9.65 ETH for over 1000 transactions. This was a one-time event with no immediate plans for future amnesty.

xDai Bridge

  • Amount: 160K DAI
  • Addresses: 461
  • Tx Fees: 3.58 ETH
  • USD equivalent: $8,985.00
  • USD cost avg per tx: $19.50

OmniBridge

  • Amount: 200K+ USD value
  • Addresses: 570
  • Tx Fees: 6.06 ETH
  • USD equivalent: $15,200.00
  • USD cost avg per tx: $26.66

OmniBridge AutoFaucet

To assist new user onboarding, and automatic faucet feature was added to the OmniBridge. Users moving assets over the Omnibridge from Ethereum or BSC to xDai now also automatically receive $.01 xDai* in addition to their bridged asset. This can be used to process transactions and swap some of their remaining assets into xDai as required. Over 500 faucet transactions have been processed since this feature was implemented on May 22.

*Only non-contract wallets with a 0 xDai balance receive xDai.

📊 Network Statistics

New Monthly ATH for Txs

xDai continues to see month-over-month usage and transactional growth. 6.3M transactions have been processed in the past 30 days. Source: https://duneanalytics.com/maxaleks/xDai-Usage

Gas Usage per Day

A new metric was added to measure gas use percentage. Gas usage is often a more telling metric than txs per day, as it captures the total use for all types of transactions, including resource intensive ones (some complex contract transactions can exceed 7M gas for 1 tx for example). Several high resource transactions can fill an entire block.

Bitcoin and Ethereum mining energy expenditure is back in the news. xDai has always been a green chain - last year total energy expenditure was equal to 2.1 US Households.

Bitcoin and Ethereum combined use the equivalent of the 23rd largest country in the world.

:classical_building: Governance Updates

Stakefish Proposal to join Validator Set

After a good deal of discussion and merits of adding an additional professional node operator to xDai (01Node also recently added), the Stakefish proposal will likely pass. Currently the voting is 100% Yes with less than 24 hours remaining).

Stakefish will be onboarded as a new validator with plans to bring new resources and expertise to the chain. No funds will be sent from the ecosystem fund, instead an existing POA validator will be transferred to Stakefish.

Funding Proposal for xDai Branding

As signaled by the community, 525K Stake was alloted from the Ecosystem fund to the Raidguild team to begin with their rebranding proposal. Next steps will involve a Sprint, Proposal, and Refinement over the course of the next several months.

Matching SushiSwap Incentives Proposal

A proposal to introduce matching incentives as LP rewards (1M in Stake from xDai to match 1M in Sushi from Sushiswap) was a highly debated proposal with many comments and more than 80 voters. The proposal was initiated from the Sushiswap side which resulted in some contingencies related to vote timing. Despite being an expedited proposal, there was a lot of conversation discussing the merits and drawbacks and a lot of engagement from the community. The final vote resulted in 66% in favor of the additional incentives.
