33.Solana-Tracking the Top Saber Lockers
-- Question 33: Building off last week's question - Saber is an automated market maker (AMM) built on Solana that provides cross-chain -- liquidity for stablecoin pairs such as UST/USDC. Liquidity providers earn yield in the form of the protocol’s native SBR token. -- Until recently, the core development team set the reward allocations for each liquidity pool. Now that protocol governance is live, -- these decisions are in the hands of the community - SBR token holders. In order to cast votes for which pool(s) should receive rewards -- (via the “gauges”), users must lock SBR tokens to receive voting escrowed Saber - veSBR. Locking SBR for longer periods (5yr maximum) -- grants the token holder more voting power - more say in which liquidity pool gets the most SBR rewards. -- Once votes are cast and the next epoch begins, the new rewards distribution is applied to the liquidity pools. 1 epoch = 1 calendar week. -- As of March 3, 2022, nearly 38% of the total SBR token supply is locked in protocol Governance. -- For more information on the Voting Escrow System, please see the Tribeca documentation : https://docs.tribeca.so/voting-escrow -- Create a time series analysis of Saber locked up over time, noting the start of each epoch. -- List the top 20 wallets that have locked Saber in the month of February. -- Have these top wallets added to their locked SBR positions to gain even more voting power, or do they lock all their SBR tokens in governance at once? -- What other activities are these top 20 wallets doing in the month of February -- (for example what other tokens are they transacting with, what other protocols are they engaging with)?
