Welcome back, Osmonauts 🧑🚀 Today’s Osmosis update covers Props 222 to 226 following the Terra blockchain halt, as well as the latest Updates from the Lab, Zone, and OGP. The team’s recent area of focus: Capital Efficiency.
Because of Terra’s blockchain halt and subsequent IBC deactivation, $UST could no longer be sent to Osmosis as of May 13. Props 222 through 225 have since passed in favor of reallocating half of all incentives on OSMO/UST, OSMO/LUNA and LUNA/UST to the respective USDC, ETH, and DAI pools. Prop 226 has also passed and is under way to implement emergency unbonding of $UST pools.

Thanks to @RoboMcGobo on Twitter, a non-technical write up explaining the functions behind Props 222-226 is available on Reddit. The post debriefs the emergency hard-fork upgrade, depooling $UST liquidity, reallocating incentives to alternative stablecoin pools, and the implementation of these upgrades.

The Recap for May 4th’s Updates from the Lab reviews the latest news on Osmosis tooling and bridge apps before diving into a stablecoin discussion on Capital Efficiency.
One major project that has been under development is Telescope, a tool that would enable a simple Osmosis plug-in for front-end use on other apps. As for bridge updates, as Axelar pools are being migrated to Osmosis, users will still be sent to Satellite for bridge transactions until Osmosis’ native-UI integration goes live in the upcoming weeks. The AMM’s v8 upgrade is scheduled to go live on May 18th, which will include:
- Stableswap
- AMM Refactor
- Multi-Hop Discounts
- Custom CosmWasm Bindings
- Reduced Fees on ATOM/OSMO Pool (to 0.2%)
- CosmWasm Token Factory
The Lab discusses various ways that Osmosis could reduce incentive fragmentation and maximize stablecoin deposits through Isotonic lending and StableSwap liquidity pools. Sunny proposes 3 main options for risk mitigation:
- Reallocate inactive stablecoin deposits into StableSwap LPs
- Turn Stableswap LP shares into Osmosis dollars ($OSD)
- Create Osmosis Dollars by using Isotonic CDP positions

The Osmosis Grants Program recently published a vision statement sharing the background and purpose of the OGP. Designed to serve the expansion of Osmosis from a single-app chain to a robust Layer 1 ecosystem, the program seeks to fund developers of applications, core infrastructure, analytics & tooling, and other projects that can add further utility to Osmosis and the greater Cosmos.

May 11th’s Updates from the Lab covers the recent shock of Terra’s $LUNA and $UST tokens, and how it has triggered rapid volatility throughout the Cosmos ecosystem. Sunny goes in-depth on the resulting proposals that have since passed in the pursuit to mitigate loss within Osmosis’ $LUNA and $UST LPs; Given the height and damage of the situation, securing a diverse suite of stablecoins is a main priority for Cosmos now more than ever.
The latest weekly meeting also features Berrey from the OSL, Bit Song, and other community members as they host a comprehensive discussion on Cosmos stablecoin trading and upcoming stableswap features to leverage.
