TL;DR

  • Proposal to Whitelist UMA.
  • Proposed Co-Investment of 250k BNT
  • There are no apparent security concerns that would prohibit whitelisting.
  • UMA has collaborated with the Bancor before and with recent eyes from their community on Bancor with call options now is a great time to introduce UMA into the Bancor roster.

Token Security

In getting this proposal together the UMA community member and team helped to answer all the Technical Questions required under the whitelisting requirements.

The UMA V1 Token is the only UMA token at the moment and the team has stated they have no plans or need to upgrade the token. Only the token holders can burn their tokens and it is not possible for any other account including the owners and admins to burn tokens. The UMA Token is not an Elastic/Rebase tokens nor does it apply transfer fees. Token transfers are permission-less.

UMA’s Issuance is 0.05% of the total supply per vote, more details can be found here :Mainnet Deployment Information | UMA Docs

Supply is 60,211,351 of 102,222,442 with the biggest individual wallet (besides protocol contracts) only holding around 6% and a whopping 13,000 Holders.

Available Audits

OpenZeppelin Audited UMA’s contracts, more details can be found here : UMA Audit – Phase 1 – OpenZeppelin blog

UMA Has great amounts of liquidity on other DEXs and judging by the stats given on SUSHI, IL is a big problem for LPs. This gives us a great value proposition for long term holders and i believe the 250k BNT should get filled rather quickly.

UMA is already whitelisted. However, it only has a 20k BNT limit.
Still, let’s see if their community wants to bootstrap the pool first. If it gets up an running, it will be a lot easier to convince the DAO to increase the single-sided exposure.
