[PCP-14] Add BRETT Market to Seamless Protocol

Summary
This proposal suggests adding a BRETT lend/borrow market to Seamless Protocol on Base. BRETT is a cultural movement on the Base chain, complementing the large existing PEPE community.

BRETT is proposed to take the same step-wise approach to a market opening as DEGEN; namely, opening a supply market to allow for BRETT deposits, performing risk analysis on what parameters should be set for BRETT, and then enabling borrowing once a (Chainlink) BRETT-USD price feed oracle is available.

BRETT to Base
BRETT is a cultural movement and one of the largest meme coin communities of BRETT. The integration of BRETT into Seamless will continue the path of Seamless Protocol supporting large, passionate, memecoin communities on Base. With over 150k BRETT holders, a FDV of $377M and daily volumes exceeding $10m USD, BRETT has the power liquidity profile and large user base that can support a market launch. This will help drive TVL, market diversity and the user base of Seamless protocol.

BRETT is one of cryptos most significant cultural icons and the mascot of BASE chain

Explaining positioning of token in the Seamless ecosystem. Why would it be a good borrow or collateral asset?
BRETT community members would make great candidates for borrowing against their BRETT collateral, as they seek to diversify their bags without having to liquidate their BRETT position. Additionally, some may choose to double down and magnify their existing BRETT positions.

Emission Schedule
Tokenomics are found on the website, this is community fair launch token with the vast majority provided as LP and also liquidity locked for a year.

Date of Deployment: For Base, February 24th, 2024
Number of Transactions: 1.7m+ on Base
Number of holders for token: 153k+ on Base

Reward Budget
It is suggested with this proposal that 2,576,000 BRETT ($96.1k USD value at the time of this writing) is budgeted and provided from the BRETT community to the Seamless DAO, Guardian or other community-elected body to be distributed as rewards on the BRETT market and/or wider Seamless Platform as the community sees fit.

Technical Specification
A more detailed level of analysis may be provided by risk partners of the Seamless community and protocol. Analysis will likely include recommendations around Supply Cap, Borrow Cap, Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio, Liquidation Threshold (LT), Liquidation Bonus (LB), Reserve Factor (RF) and optimal utilization rates.

This initial proposal suggests opening a supply-only market with a 32,000,000 BRETT supply cap.

Risk Analysis
More to come from risk partners, but initial analysis shows BRETT has a FDV of $377M, and typical average daily volumes of around $10m across various on-chain DEX venues such as Uniswap, Aerodrome and Sushiswap as well as other CEXs like Bybit and Gate.

This would be amazing! Brett is an important cultural crypto project with its ties to Matt Furie’s character. It’s also the biggest meme project on Base chain so I think it would be great!

Overview

Chaos Labs supports listing BRETT in Isolation Mode. The following is our analysis and risk parameter recommendations for the initial listings.

Please note that BRETT does not currently have robust data feeds, thus the recommendation regarding borrowing, interest rates, and debt ceilings are preliminary and will be revised whenever these data feeds become available. It should first be listed in supply-only mode according to the recommended Supply Caps.

Liquidity and Market Cap

Over the last 180 days, BRETT’s average market cap is $307.62M and its average daily volume is $13.1M.

Liquidation Threshold

Analyzing BRETT’s price volatility, we find a daily annualized volatility of 689.11%, 30-day daily annualized volatility of 210.32%, and a maximum one day price drop of 25.17%.

Considering this volatility and the limited history of the asset, we recommend launching with a liquidation threshold of 40% and a maximum LTV of 35%.

We support listing BRETT as borrowable under reasonable limits of supply and borrow caps, as we do not observe a significant risk to the protocol by allowing the borrowing of the asset.

Debt Ceiling

Given the volatility of BRETT, we recommend listing the asset in isolation mode with a debt ceiling of $100K. This is based on simulations of a LUNA-style crash and is intended to mitigate risk to the protocol.

Supply Cap, Borrow Cap, and Liquidation Bonus

Following Chaos Labs’ approach to initial supply caps, we propose setting the Supply Cap at 2x the liquidity available under the Liquidation Penalty price impact. This leads to a Supply Cap of 32M BRETT and a Borrow Cap of 16M BRETT.

Recommendation

Following the above analysis, should the community wish to list BRETT, we recommend the following parameter settings:

Parameter Value
Isolation Mode Yes
Borrowable Yes
Collateral Enabled Yes
Supply Cap (BRETT) 32,000,000
Borrow Cap (BRETT) 16,000,000
Debt Ceiling $100,000
LTV 35.00%
LT 40.00%
Liquidation Bonus 10.00%
Liquidation Protocol Fee 10.00%
Reserve Factor 20.00%
Variable Base 0.00%
Variable Slope1 9.00%
Variable Slope2 300.00%
Uoptimal 45.00%

Thanks for sharing the thorough analysis @chaoslabs and also thanks for this proposal @jackson and welcome to you and all the other brett community members to the seamless community discourse.

Based on the strong responses so far, I would suggest we do the typical 5 day discussion period to collect feedback and if everything looks good, push this to an onchain vote in order to see if enough SEAM/esSEAM voting power is backing to open a market.

As such, we’re about 1.5 days into the discussion period so welcome thoughts from other Seamless community members for the next 3.5 days or so!

From my end, this appears to be an exciting community to continue expanding the horizons of Seamless and the types of project we can collaborate with. Especially meaningful is the fact that BRETT community is happy to donate a reward budget. Given the above AND Chaos’s analysis, I would be supportive of this moving forward.

Look forward to other’s thoughts as well

Thanks for the proposal @jackson! Meme tokens are very hot now, so I support a broader adoption of them on Seamless. Since @chaoslabs presented its analysis, I think we are ok with risks and can move forward.

Glad to see so passionate Brett community coming here to support its project

I’m entirely support meme coins, and DEGEN was indeed an interesting proposition… however, Just one point - are you sure that enabling Collateral is a wise decision for BRETT?

A few wallets hold millions, which appears quite concerning:

Additionally, there are a few more accounts that could be developers’ accounts with unlocked tokens and fully liquid out:

  • $4.04M - 0x971A8115A573F9Ccf10f9147c835A10698Fba57A
  • $4.01M - 0x21BCa832ce1e3DfF27F163f4E714F3B4Cf6Adfe8
  • $3.88M - 0x87Edc5758b40B5B06AEB22ba72357c9103e9ad24
  • $3.75M - 0xD4c04d33F2E58CB04397021f0d65Fe2B615Eddca

These large holdings and potential developer accounts could pose risks if Collateral is enabled without proper scrutiny…

$17.48M in BRETT:

I might be paranoid and mistaken, but please consider this before proceeding.

I am in favor of expanding more and more altcoin markets on Seamless. I feel that Brett should start as a single sided market without borrowing enabled to gauge demand. Once an oracle is in place and borrowing enabled, would look to keep conservative parameters in place given its price volatility. All for expanding in a step wise fashion!

With the updated/amended version of the proposal above (^), we can officially kick off the 2-day cooldown period before proceeding to an on-chain vote. Thank you everyone that commented and provided helpful feedback!

Hi folks -

Quick update, the tally vote was initiated a few days ago for onchain governance.

Given the amount of delegated voting power, even though the vote has not finished/executed yet, it appears even if all outstanding votes were NO it appears the onchain tally vote would still pass. Details of the tally vote here.

As such, suggest @jackson per the original proposal that the Brett community moves towards funding the 2,576,000 BRETT reward budget. The Brett tokens (on Base) can be sent to the Guardian address: 0xA1b5f2cc9B407177CD8a4ACF1699fa0b99955A22

The Guardian has a mandate granted by the DAO to set reward schedules for the various Seamless markets.

Reminder: this is a Base address, and confirm the validity of the address prior to sending funds. You can compare the address above to the official guardian address listed in the gitbook here: Smart Contracts | Seamless Protocol

If there are any other questions feel free to reachout here or via telegram/discord.

update: BRETT has been received from the BRETT community to the guardian multisig, and will be enabled as rewards on the platform pending some governance actions
