Market Adoption Efforts Market Adoption is as important as Technical Success. We created proposals in some major Protocol Governance Forums to consider TBTC Adoption and/or Support its adoption by other Protocols. These created some heated debates in those Communities: AAVE: Proposal: Add support for TBTC
https://governance.aave.com/t/proposal-add-support-for-tbtc/575
This was elaborated and proposed after discussion with Aave Stani & Team. Yearn.finance: Yearn Community Support for TBTC and creation of TBTC Vault (decentralized Bitcoin)
https://gov.yearn.finance/t/request-for-yearn-community-support-for-tbtc-and-creation-of-tbtc-vault-decentralized-bitcoin/6374
FTX OTC option for BTC <->TBTC inclusion: Requested that TBTC can be exchanged for BTC in FTX OTC (as they do with renBTC) https://otc.ftx.com/
This is in evaluation by Sam Bankman Fried
Opyn (Option Protection for Launch) We provided a proposal to Opyn and Keep Teams to insure the early adopters of tBTC through puts written in the Opyn Protocol. This was considered by the Keep Team and might be implemented later. Continuation of “Staking & Node Operation Documentation”

1. Ran Random Beacon and ECDSA Nodes, continuous operation since Mid June. Part of Piotr’s Gold Star Operator List in previous PFK.
2. The following was all done as a Team with @EstebanK : Wrote a detailed Analysis of Keep Return On Investment scenarios during the Stake Drop and In Full Production:
https://estebank97.github.io/Keep-Node-Docs/#/Reasons/roi
3. In Addition to the Keep Staking ROI Analysis, we did a Benchmark Comparison with two types of Staking alternatives for Investment, showing that Keep is a very promising Investment Option. For this PFK Matt was looking for “comparison between projects”, we took the approach of “Investment Alternative Comparison”
https://estebank97.github.io/Keep-Node-Docs/#/comparison/comparesimilar
a. ROI Comparison with similar type of Services (Asset Transfer across Chains): tBTC, Ren Protocol, ThorChain
b. ROI Comparison with other BlockChain Staking Investment Options: tBTC, PolkaDot, Kusama, Cosmos, Zilliqa, ETH2

1. I’ve been running the ECDSA and Random Beacon nodes.
2. Minted several TDT's and minted/redeemed some tBTC!
3. I submitted Several Bugs and Enhancements requests in GitHub for the TBTC Dapp (Issues #235, #260, #275, #300, #309, #313, #314, #318, #324) to improve usability and transparency for the end user of the application
https://github.com/keep-network/tbtc-dapp/issues
4. This is joint work with @EstebanK(still in progress, will finish before July PFK): Document procedures and option on a main concern of mine, which is the node monitoring and maintenance issue. When the time comes where we start putting some serious stake in Keep Network we should make sure every node operator (with or without devops experience) is comfortable with node monitoring, downtime issues and alerts handling. The core Keep Network are their nodes, so these nodes should be as safe as possible. If we manage to keep downtime issues minimal, Slashing should only occur if there is misbehaving, and our Keep Network will be really healthy. Collateralization and Liquidation are also big concerns for mainnet operation. We developed with EstebanK#8544 a document to consolidate all available information on the Keep Node Operation and Maintenance https://github.com/Estebank97/Keep-Node-Operation/wiki
