Is this not what we want lobis to do? Why the double strategy?
OIP-53: Execute DAO swap with Frax Finance
ElvisisKing good instinct to keep things decentralized but occurs to me that with greater degree of frax governance olympus could choose to try and influence frax to shift away from usdc over time.
it's about time we did this.
I suggest we also directly lock it for 4 years and extend it periodically if needed
I’ve just read through some of the comments on the Frax forum and there is massive love for our community. Ohmies, let’s do this!

I'm still trying to understand the nuances of the relationship between Olympus and Lobis. If this proposal is driven by a perceived need to increase Olympus' governance influence within FRAX, and OIP-44 was approved to "Approve Lobis as OlympusDAO Governance Arm", then why is this initiative not being executed through Lobis, rather than directly through the Olympus treasury?
FXS to lock as veFXS to participate more in Frax governance is great. Generally love veFXS and the more intertwined OHM can be with it the better!
Go for it
LFG
Love it, also will give us some FPI (pseudo stablecoin? tracking the Consumer Price Index) eventually! So many cool avenues to explore and use the FXS - veFXS strategically.
ElvisisKing why usdt instead of usdc?
I think we should first address what our involvement with Lobis, [REDACTED], and other future branches that are accumulating governance tokens should be.
- How do we decide how to vote our veFXS? I'm fine with the policy team deciding, but just curious as this is a constantly evolving decision.
- If OHM is going to own veFXS we might as well steer the frax gauge our way. e.g. instead of bonding FRAX and DAI why not bond FRAX DAI v3 LPs and then vote our veFXS for FXS rewards on those LPs? Would have the same impact on RFV, but would increase our return on protocol owned assets.
Looks good to me!

Personal take, I think Lobis doesn't quite have a big enough treasury yet to be able to comfortably do this, and since this is a time sensitive task, it's much better for Olympus to acquire FXS themselves as proposed.
How I see the interaction between Olympus and Lobis is that while both still have the ultimate goal to help Olympus acquire governance power in the eco, Lobis is one of many strategies for Olympus to acquire power. But this doesn't/shouldn't inhibit Olympus at its core from executing on another strategy to gain gov tokens (in this case via a DAO swap with Frax). Being able to quickly deploy many different strategies to acquire gov tokens in parallel increases the team's velocity.
I think this is inline with the notion or protocol owned liquidity and will help bridge Olympus cross chain longer term with a governance attribute through frax. I support. 3,3 Ohmies-
we need to do it

To shed some more light on the Lobis/Redacted discussion going on.
I believe the actions are complementary. Lobis and Redacted are bonding OHM liquidity, and accumulating governance tokens in their treasuries. We have a certain amount of strategic assets we want to acquire, and that amount is not infinite. Once we reach our target, we will stop. Lobis and Redacted have more aggressive targets in terms of strategic assets, as they're all about governance.
Having friends in Lobis and Redacted as big holders of strategic assets can only be beneficial for us, and increase our governance power within DeFi, which is why we supported them in the first case.
vefxs staking can be locked for 1 day up to over 1000 where you get more power. I wonder how long we plan to lock our fxs
