Collaboration in crypto is always a good sign of an active team and a working product: in this FRAX-proposal Centrifuge wants to create an AMO (Algorithmic Market Operations Controller) to provide liquidity for senior pools.
The Altair/Karura-channel to enable XCM-transfers is now open! This is the necessary requirement to enable an AIR-listing with a liquidity mining program on their DEX.

Governance
-
The Centrifuge and Altair Governance Call #6 was a deepdive into “Participation in governance” with special guest KryptosChain as a long lasting supporter of the ecosystem. The call dealt with the question “How to motivate the community to actively take part in the governance process”?
An answer could be given by the community-driven idea of one of our ambassadors DrCao : attendees of the call could claim a POAP for their attendance. These POAPs will be distributed in future calls too and for very active users Centrifuge NFTs are reserved. -
Ongoing governance proposals:
(1) RFC: RWA market rewards proposal for Q3
(2) RFC: Implementation of the EURO stable coin
(3) RFC: Additional CFG Token utility
As a reminder: Please actively participate in the governance process, comment on the Request for comments (RFCs), cast your vote on polls and especially use your tokens for on-chain referendums!
