Establish a Smart Treasury

The idle protocol is collecting fee’s already in 7 different crypto currencies FeeAddress. It might be better to exchange the fee’s in their respected currencies to ETH, and use that as the ‘stable coin’ pair for $IDLE. In addition to this, ETH is the most liquid coin on DEX’s to trade against, and it is the native currency for ethereum. Finally, ETH should have lower IL than a stablecoin, (on the assumption that there is a stronger price correlation between $IDLE and ETH, than $IDLE and USD).

We also need to think about how much $IDLE we actually want to put into this pool, because the community needs to match 10% of that in the pair currency. Currently, the FeeAddress has ~$500 USD worth of coins, which means with a 90/10 pool, we can only add $IDLE worth up to $4500, however, this will change over time.

Some details I want substantiated are regarding the implementation

  1. The original article by Joel Monegro from PlaceHolder VC mentions that the protocol is the only whitelisted user to the pool? Is this something we want to do?
  2. When governance wants to add or remove liquidity, what are the risks, technical, and economic?
  3. What trading fees should we set. (I am of the opinion that since this is a protocol majority held pool, that the fees be set quite high)
