**Delegate Address:** gov.avantgardefi.eth (0xb49f8b8613be240213c1827e2e576044ffec7948) **Snapshot profile:** [https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/profile/0xb49f8b8613be240213c1827e2e576044ffec7948](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/profile/0xb49f8b8613be240213c1827e2e576044ffec7948) **Email:** governance@avantgarde.finance **Website:** [https://avantgarde.finance/](https://avantgarde.finance/) **X:** @avantgardefi # Introduction to Avantgarde Avantgarde is a DeFi native asset management, advisory and research firm that specializes in running non-custodial onchain asset management strategies, leveraging DeFi protocols and tools to deliver solutions for DAOs, Foundations, and Institutional clients. Avantgarde has been active in DeFi since 2016, notably as co-founders of the onchain asset management protocol Enzyme, and brings decades of experience from firms like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, Messari, and Genesis to help DAOs and Foundations optimise treasury management strategies, improve financial sustainability, and support long-term growth. Past and current clients include Arbitrum, Gitcoin, Nexus Mutual, Apecoin among others. We also serve as active delegates on Uniswap, Compound, Safe, and Morpho, where we’ve participated in initiatives such as the Uniswap Bridge Assessment Committee, contributed with R&D to various proposals in line with our expertise, instigated RFP processes as well as spearheaded governance proposals. ### Driver & Values ParaSwap has built a solid foundation as a top DEX aggregator across the EVM landscape but would benefit from greater engagement in governance, and in particular a DAO that can support the core builders of the protocol and help push ParaSwap to the next level. We’re excited for this next phase of the ParaSwap DAO, and will lend our experience and expertise together with our fellow delegates to ensure that the DAO incorporates the valuable lessons we’ve learnt from other DAOs, as well as the appropriate structures that will see both the DAO and protocol flourish. With this in mind, the core values that will shape our governance efforts are: - **Decentralization:** At its core, crypto is about distributing control back to the community. We’re committed to supporting initiatives that stay true to this mission. - **Transparency:** We value clear communication alongside honest and straightforward processes, ensuring everyone understands what’s happening and why, which helps align efforts toward shared goals. - **Accessibility:** Participation shouldn’t be limited to those with technical knowledge or insider experience. We work to make governance, funding structures, and community involvement as approachable and understandable as possible for everyone. - **Accountability:** A healthy DAO requires transparency and follow-through, which hasn’t exactly been the norm in the space so far, though things are improving. We’ll push for initiatives to include well-defined goals, progress checkpoints, and clear reporting structures to make sure actions align with commitments. - **Growth:** The crypto industry moves at an incredible pace. To achieve long-term success, DAOs need both ambition and adaptability; to take calculated risks and pursue innovation. Our priority is to remain open to new opportunities, empower builders, and ensure the DAO can scale effectively in a competitive environment by supporting thoughtful, sustainable growth strategies **Disclosure:** While no direct conflict of interest exists, Avantgarde is actively contributing and working with a number of chains across the wider Ethereum ecosystem. We will look to leverage our network and experience from these ecosystems, and will diligently disclose any conflicts of interest should any such situation arise. ---

### [PIP-56: Implementation of Project Miró Roadmap and Migration](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x86a61d319e94c298f733ceb3727f5810201df5c3161733cbbc08a5aedff933cf) We support the proposed roadmap for Paraswap and appreciate all the work that has gone into this from the core team. It is ambitious in the right way and the outlined budget and new token distribution all seem reasonable. Great to see the DAO playing a larger role in the future of Paraswap. We also appreciate the revisions that were made to the original proposal (see our feedback in the initial proposal thread [here](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/project-miro-roadmap-a-dao-beyond-aggregation/1980/30)). All in all, excited about this and very much look forward to follow these developments! ### [PIP-55- Reward Mechanism Automation](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x18e2ef2f53440f764f9bd2f99e9eb3710445fdf34fa32466dea6c96128be92b4) Manual work always comes with the human factor risk, so automating rewards distributions is a great improvement in the name of operational efficiency. The fee including the monthly cap is reasonable. Voted in favour of this! ---

### [PIP-58 - ParaSwap Delegate Incentives Program - Cycle 1](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x3bf3260cb1bac1bccdf9752373ec1971297baa3a9ad7bfc4f974fcc3900b469f) We voted in support of the Delegate Incentives Program. Initially we expressed some concern over the size of the program in relation to the treasury (see [link](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-58-paraswap-delegate-incentives-program-cycle-1/2048/10)), and were happy to see that this feedback was implemented. The DAO is at an important crossroad as to its role in supporting the Paraswap protocol, and paying dedicated delegates will help ensure the DAO can adequately support the protocol going forward. Still, the DAO must strive for efficiency in its resource management, and cannot afford to hesitate to cut those that do not sufficiently contribute. ---

### [PIP-59: Proposal for Returning 40.203 wETH to Bybit (After 10% Bounty Deduction)](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x135921e5304462fbfbec415a817aa64af7bed730687ad867a79f77ca6bfed8c4) After much consideration, we decided to vote **in support** of this proposal. We totally get the argument that you should not interfere with permissionelss/decentralized protocols working as intended. But hoarding funds earned from clearly illicit activity is questionable at best, and could do real repetitional damage to the Paraswap DAO who does hold the power to return these funds. In the end, we believe the point about reputational risk is probably the most salient factor and that supporting the industry is the right thing to do over the ideological arguments, especially given the $ amount is negligible. ---

### **[PIP-60 - Expansion of Project Miro token and staking system to Base](https://v1.snapshot.box/#/paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0xfc1b00ee85488510910bc6e8800ceacdf6ac2db00834dc46cbac010cf650d64e)** We voted **for** this proposal as it strategically positions the new token within the expanding Base ecosystem, whose significant growth in activity and TVL presents a valuable opportunity to increase the token’s visibility and adoption. Deploying staking on Base offers existing stakers more options for participation and aligns the new token with the broader Superchain eco. Also good to see that Laita is proactively thinking about user experience, not only with the migration tool (which will be important for a successful launch) but also consolidating staking rewards on a single chain, which we think makes a lot of sense from a UX perspective. ---

Not much to add or discuss. As per our brief feedback below we agreed with the slight revision suggested. > [@PIP-61: Increase Quorum Threshold](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-61-increase-quorum-threshold/2101/3): > > Thank you @jengajojo_daoplomats for taking the time to write this proposal up, it has been on many’s minds for a while now. > > Totally for this though I think @jameskbh makes a good point here that I’d agree with, 5-6% probably seems more reasonable to avoid unnecessary risks. ---

### [PIP-62 - Velora Governance Task Force](https://v1.snapshot.box/#/paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x44d2ff787fe7371f012adb877a954f8c1b046c2fdc5dfc4a41941935d6987941) We voted **for** this proposal as @SEEDGov brings highly relevant experience for such a role and has already demonstrated their contributions in revitalising the DAO under its guidance. Avantgarde provided significant feedback to this proposal that was met with a cooperative attitude and we’re happy to see stronger incentive alignment. While the 6-month review provides some nice manoeuvrability for the DAO, we have full faith in SEEDGov’s leadership and capacity to execute this mandate productively and successfully. > [@PIP-62 - Velora Governance Task Force](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-62-velora-governance-task-force/2105/15): > > Thank you @SEEDGov for the proposal. > > As we’ve said many times now we’re very happy to have you lead the DAO as your team has always been a pleasure to work with, and we think the DAO has made significant progress over the last 6 months or so under your guidance. > > We’ve provided significant feedback to this proposal already, but will for transparency’s sake reiterate the most important points of said feedback: > > - We asked for the initial sum (160k) to be split up into a base fee and a performance-tied fee and provided a number of potential solutions. > - Further asked for the bonus-related thresholds to be lowered, as we felt that there wasn’t enough to incentivise growth as targets were already being hit under current revenue (similar to what @Mehdi is arguing above). > > It’s worth acknowledging that current 12-month trailing revenue figures were significantly boosted under last quarter, and it’s too early to say where the protocol’s new “floor” is. The protocol’s revenue trend is seemingly pointing upwards, but it could also go back down to past trend figures (and thus lower the bonus payout). > > While we do feel the rev share still looks slightly on the higher side in relation to the 60k cap, again it’s important to recognise how volatile and unpredictable protocol revenue is at this point in time. Additionally, the rate is clearly at a discount compared to other similar, US-anchored payouts, so all in all we feel that it’s a good deal—though we would be willing to up the cap if the % share was lowered to incentivise further growth. > > One addition might be to add a threshold on the lower end, that is, if revenue goes below say 2m, the bonus is withheld. > > All in all, we’re more bullish on the DAO and protocol with @SEEDGov by our side. ---

### [Gas Refunds distribution for Epoch 29](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-55-reward-mechanism-automation-wakeup-labs-update-thread/2029/10) Voted **for** this proposal as we’re supportive of the [work being done by WakeUp Labs](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-55-reward-mechanism-automation-wakeup-labs-update-thread/2029/1) to automate the protocol’s rewards distribution, which will bring valuable improvements in efficiency and user experience. ---

Having said that, we are optimistic about this initiative and believe it makes sense for the DAO to have a dedicated body to drive growth and partnerships. ---

### [Velora Growth Committee (VGC) - Election Season 1](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0xd779e9a83af60833fc97d9e464a64df80113dde40fc517b4b3b91c2fc2f78877) We split our vote across @PGov, @citizen42, and @boardroom for the experience and network they bring, which we believe will be key in pushing integrations and DAO-to-DAO partnerships. Having worked with the former two candidates on the working group that preceded this Committee, we saw no reason to not continue this collaboration. We’re also happy to see the addition of Proxy (prev. Boardroom), who we believe brings a strong can-do attitude and valuable expertise from other DAOs in the space. While there were other strong applicants to consider, we did not feel comfortable with the clear conflict of interest present as participants in other competitor protocols like CoW and 1inch. ---

We were happy to provide feedback prior to this hitting the forum and glad to see some of it incorporated. See our further comments on the proposal below: > [@PIP-64: Formalisation of Laita Labs as a Service Provider](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-64-formalisation-of-laita-labs-as-a-service-provider/2132/6): > > Thank you @Laita for this proposal. We’re grateful for your continued commitment to the protocol and are very positive about the overall direction of Velora and the DAO. We’ve already been significantly involved in providing feedback to this proposal and have clearly expressed our thoughts on all the recent developments, so will keep it brief. For transparency’s sake, our opinion was that if the DAO is now going to foot the bill for Laita, it should’ve had more to say on the recent changes. Eit… ---

Perhaps an automated message in the Delegate TG is a good (first) step? ### **[PIP-66 - Deprecation of the Governance Committee](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0xa4fb64e9d1a576c30214ce81c5af3c83f2f26ba2d17ad9cc73018e9909e01b2e)** Pretty straightforward: we voted **for** this proposal as the GovCo no longer serves its original intent due to the automation of the gas/fee distributions, and this proposal seeks to bring an updated structure to the DAO. We elaborated on our position in the proposal thread follows: > [@PIP-66 - Deprecation of the Governance Committee](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-66-deprecation-of-the-governance-committee/2163/21): > > Thank you for facilitating this @SEEDGov. We’ve already expressed our support for this move in the TG delegate chat, but would like to add our thoughts on a few comments made here in this thread: > > - We disagree to some extent that delegates holding positions in other DAO structures like the VGC should be excluded as this does not really involve any decision making so there is little to no risk of “centralisation” in that sense. Plus, lowering the VP threshold is indeed a higher risk. But we are not against the idea for broader participation’s sake if a good enough threshold can be maintained. > - If some delegates feel that they require remuneration to perform this duty, we either remove the delegate slots and just stick to Laita + service providers, or pass it to someone else who’s happy to do it (though within reason of a VP threshold). How would you even price signing once a month? $50? Seems highly unnecessary and somewhat greedy even. > - Signing within 24hrs shouldn’t be an issue as long as signers are notified well in advance. > - Signers should most definitely be vetted beforehand, but we’d assume any added signers should have a trusted standing in the DAO before being onboarded. ### [**PIP-67: Project Miro - Deployment of VLR on BSC**](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0xccc39f4da85edb2233e783ada6ebbc58832bd09df060b8333063bb9c236de63c) We voted **for** this proposal. Binance is more than a well-known brand in the space and this moves serves a greater purpose for Velora, and while not explicitly stated, likely a step towards getting VLR listed and possibly more. Hence, we support Laita and trust that they know what they are doing with regards to this partnership. Find a short comment from us in the proposal thread: > [@PIP-67 Project Miro - Deployment of VLR on BSC](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-67-project-miro-deployment-of-vlr-on-bsc/2164/15): > > Having sat down with @0xYtocin recently during ETH Milan and heard the overall rationale for this, we have voted in support of this proposal. > > Though we recognise and to some extent agree with the points highlighted by @AranaDigital @Mehdi, we understand there are greater goals that motives this move.

We thank @WakeUpLabs again for their work and keeping the DAO informed on an ongoing basis. ---

### [PIP-68 - Upgrade VeloraDAO’s space to Snapshot Pro](https://snapshot.box/#/s:paraswap-dao.eth/proposal/0x6f1cb58a0d5cd2b5a164fe3ebcf83fef1f9f7b24e67ca450316c49c25bcccda6) We voted **for** the Snapshot Pro upgrade as we ourselves utilise the delegate feature and have distributed tokens across a number of the active delegates, and believe the fee is worth paying to maintain a more decentralised set of delegates. See our comment in the proposal thread below: > [@PIP-68 - Upgrade VeloraDAO's space to Snapshot Pro](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-68-upgrade-veloradaos-space-to-snapshot-pro/2197/14): > > Thanks for bringing this to the DAO’s attention @SEEDGov. We’re currently utilising the split delegation feature across a number of the delegates that are actively participating in the DAO and may extend this further in the future, so loosing this feature would have a significant impact on the distribution of voting power. Hence, we do think it makes sense to pass this proposal. In the grand scheme of things $6,000 isn’t a whole lot and the additional features will be nice to have, though stil… ---

### [PIP-69 - Velora Treasury Management](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-69-velora-treasury-management/2204/11) We **abstained** from this proposal due to the conflict of interest. ### [PIP-70 - Velora Contributors Program (VCP) - Cycle 2 Renewal](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-70-velora-contributors-program-vcp-cycle-2-renewal/2208/7) We voted **in support** of this proposal as the first cycle of the program demonstrated itself effective to improve participation in the DAO’s governance, and clearly led to a positive reinvigoration in the DAO’s activity. For cycle 2, we are happy to see the proposed experimentation of Contributor Points to try and improve the quality of delegate participation by incentivising extraordinary contributions. We did raise a couple of points in the forum thread ( [PIP-70 - Velora Contributors Program (VCP) - Cycle 2 Renewal - #14 by Avantgarde](https://gov.velora.xyz/t/pip-70-velora-contributors-program-vcp-cycle-2-renewal/2208/14) ), but these were sufficiently addressed by @SEEDGov. Looking forward to see what cycle 2 can bring for the DAO! ---
