What is Metagovernance?
Metagovernance is a mechanism that uses one metagovernance token to participate in the DAO governance of multiple protocols. Cornerstone achieves this by accruing governance tokens in its treasury and enabling $CORN holders to decide how to use them.
Current problems with on-chain Dapp ecosystem
1. Scattered governance: There are dozens of governance tokens to hold
2. Ecosystem Inefficiency: Many “wars” being fought, without enhancing capital efficiency
3. Siloed value capture: Almost all protocols want to be the next Curve, but many are too small to generate meaningful governance value alone
4. Poor UX: Cornerstone Airdrop Operating different tokens on one protocol alone is a hassle for an individual user (CRV, veCRV, cvxCRV, CVX and vlCVX), not to mention operating across multiple ones at the same time
Why Corn is a win for every party?
1. Users: Maximize return on token holdings. With Cornerstone, user can capture governance value of the entire ecosystem with only ONE token, automatic and hassle-free
2. Cornerstone Airdrop DeFi & non-DeFi platforms: Massively reduce sell pressure on their governance tokens. Acquire semi-permanent liquidity, and make governance effective
3. All other protocols: Maximize capital efficiency. Influence token emission of multiple platforms via a single market
4. Ecosystem: Reduce cannibalization among protocols. Lower the cost of liquidity. Enhance governance culture
What is Cornerstone treasury and from where does $CORN derive its value?
1. Cornerstone Airdrop balanced portfolio of mainstream assets and governance tokens: Cornerstone will bootstrap its treasury with mainstream assets (USDC, NEAR, ETH, etc.) and LP tokens. Users have low risk as they can exit (burn $CORN for treasury assets) anytime if $CORN is trading below the basket of tokens it represents
2. The biggest DAO-managed liquidity provider: Individual farmers are better off joining Cornerstone, because it has more governance tokens, thus higher boost for farming rewards – Economy of Scale. Protocols seeking TVL will compete for Cornerstone treasury assets – more incentives for $CORN holder
3. The most powerful governor of the ecosystem: As Cornerstone will gradually accrue more and more value from the leading assets across NEAR ecosystem
Why Cornerstone
DAO of DAOs
Cornerstone Airdrop the ultimate governance layer across protocols on NEAR, Cornerstone increases participation in DAO and decentralization of the ecosystem, boosting yield for $CORN users
