Hydration is a platform that wants to diversify its Protocol Owned Liquidity (POL) by investing in different assets. They want to invest $400K in SOL, $400K in AAVE, $200K in SUI, and $258K in HDX. They plan to use Moonbeam Routed Liquidity to onboard all assets. Adding these assets will increase market and POL diversity, bring in more users, TVL, and volume. The assets will also be available as collateral for the Money Market and for sUSDS & sUSDe Yield DCA feature.

Diversification of POL

- The protocol has about 51 BTC worth $5,000,000 in different pools and the treasury.
- A proposal suggests diversifying the BTC into:
  - $1,000,000 tBTC in Omnipool
  - $1,000,000 WBTC in Omnipool
  - $1,000,000 iBTC in Omnipool
  - $500,000 WBTC in Supply & Borrow
  - $500,000 tBTC in Supply & Borrow
- $1,000,000 of BTC will be left to invest in other assets like BNB, LDO, LINK, and SKY.
- The changes will happen after improvements to OpenGov are made.

Opening more Omnipool markets & diversifying BTC

**Summary:**

- Hydration DAO stopped farming rewards for WBTC/iBTC 2-Pool after Referendum #197.
- Hydration holds 17 WBTC in the Money Market and 34 BTC 2-Pool shares in the Omnipool.

Hydration DAO is staking 438,700 DOT for Polkadot governance. The lockup on these staked DOT is 28 days. It is important that as many DOT participate in these decisions as possible. Therefore, Hydration DAO is proposing to delegate their votes at 3X conviction to ChaosDAO. ChaosDAO is a community in the Polkadot ecosystem and is formed of enthusiasts and builders. They vote using a decentralized process within the ChaosDAO private discord server. ChaosDAO has supported all previous proposals from Hydration and has shown alignment with their needs. The proposal adds no additional time lock or opportunity costs versus their existing staking locks.
