"The explosion and success of the Vote Escrow (VE) tokenomics design pioneered by Curve has generated intricate markets around the value of governance voting power. This talk will cover:
- The different layers of governance and tokenomics that have been formed around the VE model;
- The main DEXes and respective ecosystems employing it (Curve, Balancer, Velodrome);
- The two main types of markets that have developed around bribes;
- The three sides of VE bribing markets and the incentives of each side;
- The techniques being explored to optimize participation in these markets by each type of participant;
While doing the above, we'll try to extract valuable lessons on the incentive and governance design spaces in DeFi.
