@paraficapital @mrhen unlike other governance processes, the community is able to develop changes to the Compound protocol, and list new assets without a gatekeeper.
This guide lays out the process to add a new market. The steps to add YFI include:
- Ensuring YFI prices are being reported by Coinbase
- Deploy a new Open Price Feed view contract that includes YFI
- Deploy a cToken contract for YFI; this would likely be the generic upgradable ERC-20 cToken
- Create a governance proposal; this is open to anybody with 100 COMP, using an Autonomous Proposal; this was recently completed by a community member to increase the WBTC collateral factor
- Gather public support for the change
All of this can be done right here on comp.xyz!
