This sounds like a great opportunity for the long term growth of Splinterlands, I wish this was done on day 1! I'm all for the DAO owning its own liquidity, I believe it is an important step towards an ultra sound SPS (deflationary).
This may potentially be a great marketing opportunity for the Splinterlands community as well if we do it right, so let's make the most of it!
With that being said, I do have some concerns as well. In the long term after we get the marketing from Sushiswap, would it not be better for the DAO to simply periodically sell small amounts of SPS on market for ETH, pair it with ETH and add it to LP? This is essentially what we are doing with these "bonds" but with extra steps (and extra fees!!)
Furthermore, if this passes and we vote yes on further proposals for the Splinterlands DAO to own liquidity, I would be careful about the next steps of reshuffling LP incentives too much. I would suggest reshuffling LP rewards gradually instead, for example, start reducing LP rewards by 1% per week instead of 1% per month.
Lastly, please ensure you include both pros and cons for a proposal in the actual proposal itself. I am a serial proposer, and I love including lots of information for both sides of the argument so users can make a clear and informed decision. I believe education is paramount in ensuring the DAO functions efficiently.
I that's a solid outlook. We're going to for sure be having some proposals for LP inflation in the future regardless of this one. I also agree that we don't need to do a paid bond for this going forward, I look at this as a great marketing opportunity. Technically we already have more idle liquidity in the DAO than all of our pools combined, so we could theoretically just not print that inflation at all if we didn't want to. I do think phasing out instead of abrupt changes is the smart play.
All of that said, there's a lot of questions and considerations and many more discussions to be had. Tournaments are currently eating up the majority of my time, but LP reform proposals are coming. I appreciate your insight thus far (and other big LPs that I've spoken to). I really want us to get our DAO to a place where it's comfortably self sufficient for years to come and I think we can do it!
