Governance Proposal 7 seeks to continue providing 42 million ALGO of liquidity to DeFi protocols
Governance Proposal 7 asks the network to continue the Algorand Foundation's liquidity provision to the DeFi ecosystem. A pilot deployment of 42 million ALGO has already been distributed to four protocols: Folks Finance, Pact, AlgoRai Finance, and Tinyman.
If the measure passes, the Foundation will evaluate additional protocols for liquidity extensions. If it fails, the currently deployed liquidity will be gradually withdrawn.
