The Althea team should add $10,000 to the Grav/Usds pool on IFI Dex using community pool funds, current liquidity is $3 which effectively makes the pool dead. Adding $10,000 of liquidity to the GRAV/USDS pool on IFI DEX will immediately make the market usable for ordinary traders instead of being effectively dead with the current ~$3 depth. With meaningful depth, trades in the $10–$1,000 range can execute without crippling slippage, price discovery becomes reliable, and users won’t be repeatedly frustrated by failed or wildly expensive transactions. That smoother experience lowers the barrier for new buyers, encourages existing holders to trade or use GRAV in apps, and makes the token visible and credible to the broader community.
A healthy pool also attracts activity that compounds over time: arbitrageurs and market makers help keep prices fair, fee revenue creates incentives for other liquidity providers to join, and word of mouth from satisfied users draws new traders to IFI DEX. In short, the $10k injection is a small, targeted step that converts an unusable market into a functional one, which in turn drives repeat usage, on chain activity, and organic growth for both GRAV and the IFI platform.

I agree adding $10,000 from the community pool to the GRAV/USDS pool on IFI DEX is a sensible, high-impact move.
- Problem: Current liquidity (~$3) makes the pool effectively dead; tiny depth causes failed trades, huge slippage, and poor price discovery.
- Immediate benefit: $10k of liquidity creates meaningful depth so trades in the $10–$1,000 range can execute without crippling slippage, making the market usable for ordinary traders.
- User experience & adoption: Reliable, lower-cost trades reduce frustration, lower the barrier for new buyers, and encourage holders to trade and integrate GRAV in apps. That improved UX increases visibility and credibility for GRAV and IFI DEX.
- Compounding market effects: With meaningful depth, arbitrageurs and market makers will participate, helping stabilize prices; fee revenue incentivizes additional liquidity providers; satisfied users and organic word-of-mouth attract more traders.
- Cost-effectiveness: $10k is a small, targeted allocation relative to the outsized benefits: converting an unusable pool into a functional market that promotes repeat on-chain activity and organic growth for both GRAV and IFI.
I think we should approve the $10,000 liquidity injection into the GRAV/USDS pool on IFI DEX from the community pool to immediately restore market functionality and catalyze sustained trading activity.
$10k of what liquidity? GRAV? USDS? Both?
What is a benefit of this? Why does GRAV need liquidity? The bridge is functioning as is and has been for some time without any meaningful liquidity. This doesn’t seem necessary and just sounds like the proposer needs somewhere to dump tokens.
