Fellow Polkadot community members, I propose we explore adding Ethereum (ETH) to the Polkadot treasury for staking, creating a strategic diversification method that could provide multiple economic benefits: Revenue Generation: By staking ETH, we create an additional passive income stream for the …

While I like the idea of showcasing cross-interoperability with other ecosystems, selling DOT for a competitor’s coins could backfire immediately. It might be regarded as a lack of confidence in Polkadot. The treasury has already invested in Centrifuge, a project within the DOT ecosystem. I think i…

I think it comes down to narrative, which is why I stated that we could liquidate ETH rewards to pay for things while keeping DOT in treasury or further lowing inflation. Yes there is an initial buy needed. Stocking up stables in the bull to buy in the bear would be epic imo and not seen a bullish s…

Very strange idea. Revenue Generation: By staking ETH, we create an additional passive income stream That’s basically an assumption that staking ETH is a better use of whatever funds there are than investing it in own system. Not to mention that in order to buy ETH you must sell some other curre…

If to add another asset, then add PHYSICAL GOLD, like Paxgold, or Tethergold. Gold will go to the moon during the coming global world order reconfiguration. Gold is already 40% up in 2025 only.

I also disagree with this proposal. To me, it doesn’t reflect well if we exchange Polkadot’s funds for a competitor’s coins like ETH. While it’s a good idea to diversify investments for the sake of risk management, those investments could be in assets that aren’t directly competitive to Polkadot’s p…

I see things differently than some. With that being said, why wasn’t the 1st suggestion Bitcoin, as it is the digital gold equivalent? With Snowbridge, this idea isn’t far off… So I get that… Curious to here more regarding the mindset?

Because ETH is slightly deflational and provides yield, minimizing dot emissions with ETH rewards would allow us to eventually work towards being deflationary ourselves. The long term effect of the price up ETH far exceeds that of getting yield of stablecoins that are hyperinflating more and more ea…

Buying gold means we want to sell it at a higher price, buying a deflationary asset like ETH that gains a staking yield could would be more advantageous, ETH has more upside compared to gold and the ETH rewards could supplement our DOT sell pressure in the mid to long term. Applying some measures li…

The issue lies in our lack of a strategy to counter the persistent, heavy sell pressure and attract more buyers. Those in charge “see no upside” in creating measures to address this, yet it’s a problem that’s actively devaluing both the price of DOT and the Treasury’s worth. If people can’t see ups…

I’m unconvinced by those saying that buying ETH ‘doesn’t reflect well’ or that staking ETH ‘is a better use’ of ‘investing’ it in our own system. Those are, frankly, maxi arguments. There are many, many, yield generating defi protocols in the ETH ecosystem that hold each others’ tokens, just as ba…
