Shaping Rosen's Future: A Community Call on Five Key Treasury Proposals

Rosen co-founder, Armeanio, has submitted five new proposals to the Rosen Treasury. These proposals outline a strategic vision for the growth, utility, and scalability of the Rosen Bridge, a core component of Ergo's interoperability infrastructure.

This is a critical moment for the Ergo community to review and discuss the future direction of this vital cross-chain service. Below is a concise summary of each proposal. We urge you to read them and participate in the subsequent discussions.

Proposal 1: Enhancing RSN Liquidity Through Non-Inflationary Treasury Locking Pairs

• The Gist: Allocate 30% of Rosen Treasury fees to create decentralized exchange (DEX) liquidity pools for Rosen's native token (RSN), pairing it with assets like ERG, rsADA, and rsBTC.
• The Goal: Increase RSN market depth to allow for more efficient trading, particularly for the Watchers who secure the bridge. This would be accomplished without minting new tokens, and LP fees would be reinvested into the treasury for sustainable growth.
• The Ask: Approve the 30% treasury fee allocation to these DEX liquidity pools.

Proposal 2: Expanding RSN Utility with Hodl Game + (A Revenue Bond Framework)

• The Gist: Introduce "Hodl Game +," a DeFi protocol where users can lock their RSN.
• The Goal: Create a more stable RSN market by rewarding long-term holders. The system proposes airdropping 2.5% of all bridge fees to participants and instituting a 2.5% penalty for exiting, which would also fund the airdrops. This framework is designed to be modular for future chain integrations.
• The Ask: Approve a 2.5% fee allocation for airdrops and authorize a pilot program for the Hodl Game +.

Proposal 3: Rewarding our SPO Partners and Growing Ergo and Rosen Bridge Visibility

• The Gist: Strengthen the Ergo-Cardano connection by rewarding Cardano Stake Pool Operators (SPOs) who support the Rosen Bridge.
• The Goal: Airdrop 10% of the bridge's ERG rewards to wallets staked with partner SPOs. This acts as both a reward for their support and a strategic initiative to increase the number of rsERG holders on Cardano, which is a key metric for exchange listings.
• The Ask: Community feedback is needed on the technical and financial feasibility of executing this airdrop on the Cardano network.

Proposal 4: Investing for Expansion and Tooling

• The Gist: A funding request to build out essential infrastructure to accelerate Rosen's development.
• The Goal: The proposal outlines three focus areas: a SigmaChain Framework to simplify new blockchain integrations, a Rosen Fast DeFi Framework for premium, high-speed bridging, and Ergo DEX Enhancements to improve LP profitability.
• The Ask: This is a call for community discussion to define the roadmaps, bounty structures, and funding amounts required from the treasury.

Proposal 5: Incentives for Rosen Contribution Standards

• The Gist: Decentralize the integration of new blockchains by creating a standardized incentive model for external developers.
• The Goal: Offer external developers 5% of the outbound transaction fees from any new chain they successfully integrate, provided they adhere to the Rosen Contribution Standards (RCS) and commit to ongoing maintenance.
• The Ask: To establish a clear and rewarding framework that leverages global developer talent to scale the Rosen ecosystem in a secure and sustainable manner.
