why is MPL an interesting asset? is this part of a partnership because i dont see a way why you would list it if it isnt. it seems like a random governance asset which adds no value to the ecosystem by glancing over it…

I thought this day will never come, but I kind of have to agree with you @lobo :sweat_smile:. I think there are much more needed tokens first in line, like GOLD$, SILVER$, goUSD and xUSD. This sounds weird and questions how these tokens are selected. makes no sense.

But on the other hand, it is good to get more tokens listed if there is some initial liquidity.

Yes, as I mentioned in the “motivation” this is the start of a strategic partnership between Maple and FF

Could you clarify why Maple is an interesting protocol and why the partnership will be beneficial for FF?

With SOL and AVAX its pretty clear why these are interesting assets, but listing a governance token of an unknown protocol (have never heard of it and the TVL of it looks good in comparison to Algorand protocols but small when looking at protocols in general on Ethereum) and making us have to research what Maple even is is a bit weird.

Maple is one of the pioneers in lending for institutions. FF received interest in the listing, which means that external liquidity will flow to Algorand/Folks. In addition, the start of this collab could lead to new collaborations in future
