🚧 In Progress

⚙️ CoW AMM & LP Tokens in Tycho • Milestone 1 wrapping up

Tanayj posted update Jan 5: resolved indexing issue in CowAMM substreams implementation. Indexing and simulation now run successfully with no further M1 changes expected. Remaining step: dev sync and final review, then PRs merge.

🔨 COW Value Distribution RFP

NotSoFormal drafted RFP with evaluation criteria included. MFW flagged non-compliance on Dec 30, discussion scheduled for Monday sync. Internal deadline: grant running by end of Jan, delivery by March. Budget range: 20k-100k+ depending on proposals received. Draft RFP

💼 Budget Tracking Updated

Commitment and free allocation calculations now run through Jan '26. No risk of overspending current budget. COW overpayment tracked due to committee stipend (USD-denominated, paid in COW with price variance).

⚙️ Gnosis Chain COW Liquidity

Solver team investigating trading issues on Gnosis Chain. Secondary factor: reduced Balancer liquidity after hack prompted treasury/Gnosis to move funds. Current workaround: bridge to mainnet for larger swaps.
