This sounds like a great way(s) to mitigate the risk involved.
I think I have a way to implement insurance without exposing us to any other protocols. We deploy a second pool with trading disabled called iBTC
then we support minting two different versions, BTC++
and iBTC++
. BTC++
is just the straight uninsured pool with trading and higher risk. iBTC++
is 1% iBTC
and 99% BTC++
. During normal times, redemption of iBTC++
only gives you back the assets from BTC++
. During a black swan, an insurance redeemable flag is set, disabling new minting on iBTC++
but changing redemptions to include the BTC++
along with a proportional share of the iBTC
pool.
The DAO could potentially participate in iBTC
to give it a value boost at the beginning as @mickdegraaf suggested. Then we could redeem the DAOβs portion when iBTC
exceeds something like 40% of the outstanding BTC++
.
Great thread about tBTC and renBTC.
Suggestion from the community call;
Love the toggle! can I suggest having a (~USD Value) and an option to manually enter the amount of BTC++ I would like to mint?
