Add Liquidity Mining rewards for OMG

BNT Liquidity Mining was recently approved by Bancor governance, with weekly BNT rewards currently being generated by liquidity providers staking in 10 rewards pools.

LPs who stake in qualifying pools earn BNT rewards retroactively when liquidity mining eventually goes live.

Following a week-long vote on Discord, 6 new tokens (JRT SNX OMG ENJ AAVE and NXM) are now up for on-chain voting to be included in the latest round of the LM program.

The 2 tokens with the most YES votes, which also achieve a 66.7% majority vote, will start receiving BNT liquidity mining rewards.

To vote to add OMG to the LM program:

:shield: Stake BNT in a protected pool on http://bancor.network

:classical_building: Receive vBNT

:ballot_box: Use vBNT to vote on http://vote.bancor.network

Hello,

I’m a Community Manager for OMG Network and would like to provide more information to help decide on voting to add OMG to Bancor for liquidity mining rewards.

N.B. Note that as I’ve just created a new account I can’t insert more than 2 links so I’ve had to write them out with an “_”, please adjust to in order to browse to them.

1. Who is the interested party for this collateral application?

OMG Network and its strong community would be interested in liquidity mining rewards on the Bancor platform.
We have recently won a Community Greenlight poll over at MakerDAO: https://vote.makerdao.com/polling/QmcvCA4n?network=mainnet#vote-breakdown

2. Brief high-level overview of the project, with a focus on the applying collateral token.

The https://omg.network is a Layer-2 value transfer network for ETH and any ERC-20 token.
The Network is a scalability solution for the Ethereum Network and intends to reduce the high transaction fees and network congestion facing the blockchain.
The OMG Token is a fee token that can be used to pay for any ERC-20 transactions on the OMG Network, thereby, reducing Ethereum’s network congestion and transaction fees for all.
The token will later serve staking purposes as OMG Network’s consensus algorithm will be migrated to Proof-of-Stake.

3. Brief history of the project.

Initially known as OmiseGo, the ICO raised over $25 million around July 2017.
3 years later, during the summer 2020, the project is https_://omg.network/omisego-omg-network-rebrand as the company announce the public Mainnet beta - https_://omg.network/omg-network-scales-ethereum
Shortly after, mid-August, Bitfinex integrates with OMG Network - https_://omg.network/bitfinex-usdt-tether-integration-omg-network allowing to scale USDt transactions.
