What is our stance on Voting Markets?

At StableLab, we believe that voting markets present a unique opportunity to create utility for governance token holders by creating a liquid market where governance power can be lent and borrowed.

From a purely economic incentive-based perspective, we see massive opportunities for growth in governance participation throughout the DeFi Ecosystem. For more insight into how we think about voting markets, we dive deeper into our understanding of voting markets in this piece while using Paladin as a case study.

ABOUT

StableLab is a governance firm focused on professional delegation, DAO framework design and product development. We work with various projects, from the ones just starting their journey to decentralization to the most prominent DeFi protocols.

Our systematic framework for DAOs covers governance methodologies, decentralized workforce, implementation, documentation, communication and community engagement. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, but we provide a framework of principles and tools we have developed throughout our experience.

We scale DAOs sustainably.

EXPERIENCE

We are the leading professional delegate team with a track record across major DeFi protocols, including MakerDAO, Optimism, Aave, 1inch, Balancer, Element, InstaDapp, Hop and more.

We pioneer delegation work through high governance standards, extensive research, hands-on expertise and the consistent use of a code of conduct. Pushing forward web3 and DeFi since 2018, StableLab’s co-founders previously spent 3.5 years at the Maker Foundation.

PGP-23: Treasury Management #2

Vote: Yes

Rationale: This proposal is an excellent effort in Treasury management strategy. We are glad to see the strategic assets Paladin holds and how these assets work effectively for the protocol.

PGP-24: Governance Framework Update

Vote: Yes

PGM-25: Treasury Management #3.1

Vote: CRV to Yearn & swap sdCRV to CVX

Rationale: We believe that allocating the DAOs CRV to Yearn and dollar cost averaging into CVX over a month would be an optimal use of the DAOs assets; this way, the DAO can take advantage of Yearn’s rewards and the boosted voting power.
With voting power being an essential resource for Paladin, this strategy would be an effective path toward the DAOs goals.
