[BIP-208] Enable Overnight Pulse Gauge [Arbitrum]

PR to multisig payload

Summary:

Overnight.fi is an asset management protocol specializing in delta-neutral strategies. Overnight’s core product is USD+, a 100% collaterized yield-bearing stablecoin. The collateral of USD+ consists of yield-generating DeFi strategies, including lending to Aave, stable-to-stable and delta-neutral strategies.

Approximately 3 months ago, following a grant by Balancer, Overnight established Overnight Pulse pool on Beet.fi on Optimism. Overnight Pulse is a boosted USDC-DAI pool that relies on USD+ for yield. The pool has reached 7M TVL and generated daily trading volumes in the range of 300-500K, on the day of writing this proposal the volume was 3.21M USD. The yield has been consistent in the range of 12-14% APR, of which just 2-3% came from rewards, with the rest generated by USD+

Overnight.fi has expanded to Arbitrum and looks to repeat the Overnight Pulse on Balancer Arbitrum. We are proposing the pool to enter as a “core pool” under BIP-19. This means protocol fees earned by this pool and a portion of the yield would be used to bribe for votes on it. Consequently, this pool will also receive bribes from those fees in proportion to this pool’s TVL relative to other Arbitrum core pool TVL

Protocol Description:

Overnight.fi is an asset management protocol specializing in delta-neutral strategies. Overnight’s core product is USD+, a 100% collaterized yield-bearing stablecoin. The collateral of USD+ consists of yield-generating DeFi strategies, including lending to Aave, stable-to-stable and delta-neutral strategies.

Motivation:

Balancer has clearly been pursuing yield bearing liquidity for quite some time. Overnight Pulse has attracted both strong TVL and stablecoin trading volumes on Beethoven OP. With Overnight’s expansion to Arbitrum the opportunity presents itself for Balancer to repeat the success of Overnight Pulse on OP on another chain. This is net positive for the protocol.

Explain why this pool needs incentivization

The boost generated by USD+ is attractive enough for the pool’s TVL to be sustainable. Incentives are required for the pool to grow to a level where USD+ yield represents the majority of the pool’s APR.

I saw great adoption of your pools over at Beethoven-X and I think this would be a great addition on Arbitrum for Balancer.

Happy with everything Overnight has accomplished in terms of TVL and returns for LPs / Balancer. I think this pool will do great for Balancer, especially with Arbitrum being a hot spot right now. In support of this and grateful for all your teams work.

Dear @Xeonus and @ZenDragon , thank you for your kind words and support. we are grateful for your cooperation with the partners like ourselves.

shall we wait for another 24 hours and, unless the discussion resumes, move it to the snapshot?

If there are no major objections, yes we can and are good to go this round :slight_smile:
