Thank you, @tobyj for this proposal that builds upon the existing Sandbox framework from the USD vault prior proposal that you referenced.
We are supportive of this proposal, and see it as low risk and no cost (other than a symbolic 1 USDRIF). That allows for the natural evolution of the dApp to be a testing ground for how Bitcoin-backed assets can interact with yield-generating protocols in a controlled environment.
However, we have a couple of clarification questions to help us understand the process:
-
The proposal mentions a whitelisting process via the “Talk to the team” link. What are the specific criteria for community members to participate in the sandbox, and is there a cap on the total number of participants?
-
Phase II mentions simulated strategies. Can you clarify which protocols or simulations will be used to generate the test yield for rBTC? Will these be internal simulations or integrations with existing Rootstock protocols like Money on Chain, Sovryn, or another partner?
-
Finally, as mentioned by @Axia in the prior proposal, is there an opportunity for the delegates to be beta testers for this Sandbox (and any other future products), and if possible, a dedicated post on forum for testing feedback?
