Launch 3-Pool

- A plan to swap 10,000 H2O for HDX in small amounts over 14 days.  
- Each trade swaps 2.222 H2O every 44 blocks.  
- Limits slippage to 1.5% and allows 9 retries.  
- Similar to a previous successful swap (Tranche 6).  
- The HDX bought will be used for future needs like liquidity and rewards.  
- The treasury has 16,351 H2O left for more swaps.  
- Another swap (Tranche 8) is planned after this one.  
- Encourages everyone to "Stay Hydrated."

HDX buyback with Treasury H2O - Tranche 7

- A new Polkadot rewards campaign is starting for 3 months.  
- Many tokens like DOT, USDC, and tBTC can earn up to 69% rewards.  
- More GIGADOT tokens will be moved and added to rewards.  
- Some token limits are being increased for better rewards.  
- The campaign helps grow the Polkadot ecosystem.

LAUNCH GIGAHYDRATION

- Gives 3 million DOT back to Polkadot Treasury  
- Sends 2 million DOT to Hydration Treasury  
- Creates 2 million vDOT (a special DOT version)  
- Uses some vDOT to buy GIGADOT over 6 hours  
- Uses the rest to buy GIGADOT over 2 months  
- All money is kept safe in a special account until needed

GIGAMINT

- The plan is to remove iBTC from the Omnipool.  
- Only withdrawals will be allowed at first.  
- Then, all iBTC will be frozen and removed.  
- The Treasury will send iBTC to a special wallet to swap it for tBTC.  
- The tBTC will be returned to the Treasury later.  
- This is happening because iBTC has low trading and too much reliance on one provider.  
- Hydration has supported iBTC for a long time but now needs to exit.

- After adding, the pool shares will be sent back.

[VOTE NAY] Request TC to whitelist the listing of TRAC in the Omnipool

- This proposal does two main things: mints remaining HDX to the Treasury and increases HDX liquidity.  
- It mints leftover HDX from Growth and Collator Rewards to the Treasury.  
- The total HDX supply will be nearly 6.5 billion after minting.  
- HDX liquidity is very low, so the plan is to add more gradually.  
- Over 13 weeks, the Treasury will add HDX to liquidity pools 39 times.  
- This will add about 155 million HDX to improve trading.  
- The goal is to make HDX liquidity equal to 5% of Omnipool liquidity.  
- This helps HDX be used as collateral and improves market confidence.

- Polkadot is voting on a plan called "GIGAHydration Campaign."  
- They want to use 5 million DOT to help grow DeFi (money apps) on Polkadot.
