VIP-13: Relocation of ValleyDAO Liquidity Pool from Base to Solana

Summary:

This proposal seeks approval to move the existing GROW liquidity pool on Aerodrome (Base) to Solana, establishing a new pool on Raydium. The goal is to position ValleyDAO within a growing DeSci ecosystem on Solana, align with BIO’s upcoming liquidity strategy, and gain exposure to Solana’s expanding ecosystem.

Rationale for Moving to Solana:

  1. DeSci-Friendly Ecosystem:
  • Solana has demonstrated strong support for DeSci initiatives. For example, Pump.science recently recorded hundreds of millions in trading volume within a week, signaling robust demand for DeSci projects.
  • By relocating to Solana, ValleyDAO can contribute to this thriving DeSci ecosystem.
  1. Alignment with BIO’s Liquidity Strategy:
  • BIO has announced plans to launch on Solana and establish BIO-BioDAO pools, alongside offering liquidity incentives.
  • Hosting a GROW liquidity pool on Solana aligns ValleyDAO with these efforts and provides additional benefits to the ValleyDAO community through increased exposure and liquidity opportunities.
  1. Solana Exposure for ValleyDAO Treasury:
  • Relocating the pool to Solana provides the ValleyDAO treasury with exposure to Solana’s ecosystem, diversifying its holdings and leveraging Solana’s potential growth.

Proposed Pool Details:

Funding Sources:

  1. ETH to SOL Conversion: ETH from the existing Aerodrome liquidity pool will be converted into SOL to fund the transition.
  2. Bridging GROW to Solana: GROW tokens from the existing Aerodrome liquidity pool will be bridged from Base to Solana to form the new liquidity pool.

Implementation Plan:

  1. A new token contract for GROW will be established on Solana.
  2. Bridging between Base and Solana will be facilitated via Wormhole, ensuring a seamless transition.
  3. The full liquidity pool sum from Base will be transferred to Solana.

We encourage all token holders to review this proposal and cast their votes.

Why move all of the liquidity instead of keeping some on base and some on sol? Is there just not enough $ to go around?
