Listing MaticX on Compound

Reflecting on the success of MaticX on AAVE, we concur that it’s prudent to contemplate its listing as collateral. The two largest depositors (each over $2MM) of $MaticX on AAVE comprise Polygon Foundation (0x8d365687a75dc7688864822869ae0551bb6fc105) and a Smart LP (0xf8249b8d751f54dc7b317603ffffc4cbd093c543). The former primarily borrows stablecoins, while the latter engages in a leverage loop strategy on staked Matic.

There are two options for listing $MaticX: 1. the deployment of a distinct comet Matic market, or 2. its addition to the existing USDC market. The first option provides greater convenience to those implementing leverage strategies, albeit at the cost of increased complexity for stablecoin borrowers (as manual conversion from $matic to stables would be required).
Though as suggested by @kevin,

this problem could be solved by compound or the community building a front-end that combines those steps into a single txn (similar to how we use the Bulker` contract to bulk your supply + borrows into one txn)"

As the community agrees transitions gradually from v2 to v3, we should focus more on ensuring that comet remains competitive with AAVE, particularly in terms of user experience.
