Simple summary:

This proposal suggests the introduction of a gauge for the fPENDLE-LPT(agETH - 26 Dec 2024) from Harvest Finance. This is the interest-bearing token for the Kelp Airdrop Gain vault live on Pendle.

The Kelp Airdrop Gain vault on Pendle aims to optimize airdrops by combining two strategies: earning Layer 2 (L2) airdrops and participating in mainnet DeFi opportunities. It accepts rsETH and other ETH assets as deposits, deploying them across different yield and points farms. agETH serves as the receipt token for this vault, which has an expiration date of December 26, 2024.

By providing liquidity with the Pendle LP token to the agETH-LP (26-DEC-24) vault on Harvest Finance, users can benefit from the automated compounding of the PENDLE rewards earned by the strategy.

Kelp is a platform focused on building Liquid Restaking Solutions for public blockchain networks and rsETH (with a market cap of >700M) is their LRT. Pendle is a well-known DeFi protocol that enables users to trade future yields with a TVL estimated at over 2.8B. Harvest Finance is one of the first yield-optimizing platforms, an ideal product for those seeking automated returns on their crypto.

The addition of this gauge would incentivize liquidity provision in the fPENDLE-LPT(agETH - 26 Dec 2024)-LP, making it more attractive for Kelp/Pendle/Harvest users looking to earn additional rewards. A gauge for this LP would demonstrate that Spectra can operate as a superstructure over Pendle, which is often seen as a specialist in yield derivatives, showcasing Spectra’s ability to integrate seamlessly with any DeFi building block, no matter how specialized. Additionally, integrating this gauge will showcase Spectra’s advanced capabilities to the Pendle community. Ultimately, this may represent the first step towards a productive partnership with Kelp. For all these reasons, we urge the community to support this proposal by voting to include the fPENDLE-LPT(agETH - 26 Dec 2024)-LP in Spectra’s gauge system.
