Summary: We can launch bonds using DAI instead of SLP as payment to increase supply production efficiency.
Background: We launched liquidity bonds two weeks ago with the intent of accumulating and locking SLP tokens. Since then, we have accumulated over half the pool valued at nearly $7m. While we should not replace LP bonds by any means, we should think about supplementing them with DAI bonds to increase the rate of supply production.
Abstract: Due to the way the treasury has to value LP tokens (using the Risk-Free Value equation), they are quite inefficient at producing supply. The treasury treats every $1 of liquidity as 3c for the purposes of backing tokens. With DAI bonds, every $1 given will be treated as $1. This means we can double the rate of supply production by diverting a mere 3% of bond demand. DAI bonds will also offer an alternative to smaller bonders or those who do not want to spend gas adding liquidity.
Motivation: Increase the rate of supply production, build up bond market with a second (more constrained) option. LP and DAI bonds can and should be played against each other.

What is SalesLite: A contract we have been running for the past week which sells 4.2 OHM into the pool each epoch and mints new OHM (~ 10k per day) for stakers and the DAO. The downside of this approach is it is direct sell pressure, and we could remove it since DAI bonds have the same function with less market impact.
For: Add DAI bonds and remove SalesLite
For: Add DAI bonds and keep SalesLite
Against: Do not add DAI bonds
