Try Quests to earn cryptoDo incentivized wAssets impact transfer volumes on Axelar?
Background: Most "wrapped" assets (WETH, WMATIC, WBNB, WAVAX, etc.) arrive on Osmosis via the Axelar bridge. Osmosis governance decides how to incentivize liquidity pools containing these assets. In the past two months we have seen incentives pass for wMATIC, wBNB, and wAVAX. Task: Examine the impact of “bootstrapping” proposals on Axelar bridge volumes and fees paid. Did they sufficiently incentivize users to transfer external assets into Osmosis via Axelar’s bridge, or were the assets deposited into the respective pools already on Osmosis. Analyze the results in aggregate and by asset. Goal: Identify if Axelar should work with Osmosis to incentivize more wrapped assets, in order to increase volume over Satellite and Squid.
