Announcing BIPs 24-27

Beanstalk Farms is pleased to announce that BIP-24, BIP-25, BIP-26 and BIP-27 – fungible BDV support, the Beanstalk Farms Q4 2022 budget, the Immunefi bug bounty program and the Bean Sprout Q4 2022 budget, respectively – have each been passed by a vote of the DAO.

Fungible BDV Support

BIP-24 was proposed by Root Labs in order to improve interoperability of the Silo and enable a future fungible Deposited BDV token contract.

BIP-24 is the first instance of an entity other than Beanstalk Farms or Bean Sprout successfully proposing a BIP to the DAO.

Beanstalk Farms

Beanstalk Farms is a decentralized development organization supporting Beanstalk. The Q4 budget of 1,000,000 Beans for the remainder of Q4 will allow Beanstalk Farms to focus on fulfilling a number of objectives across five primary workstreams (security, on-chain development, middleware development, frontend & design and content, community & marketing). Below is a selection of these objectives, with the full list available here:

Coordinate with Halborn to implement Seraph;
Implement generic pricing curves on the Pod Market;
Implement a Dutch auction for Soil at the beginning of each Season;
Deploy at least one Well on the Beanstalk-native zero fee AMM;
Begin development of the Beanstalk TypeScript SDK; and
Publish a video series explaining Beanstalk.

ImmuneFi Bug Bounty Program

BIP-26 creates a bug bounty program through Immunefi to incentivize whitehat hackers to find bugs in Beanstalk.

Security is paramount to the success of Beanstalk. Immunefi is crypto’s leading bug bounty platform that many other well-known DeFi protocols use to facilitate their bug bounty programs. This bounty program is competitive with the largest programs currently on Immunefi, making it likely to attract whitehat hackers.

BIP-26 establishes a method for the reporting and fixing bugs in a way that minimizes the risk to Beanstalk between the report and the fix, as well as the fair and transparent compensation for the reporting of bugs. The program gives bounty hunters a clear process and structure in order to increase the likelihood they attempt to find issues with Beanstalk and its related contracts and code.

Bean Sprout

Bean Sprout is a Beanstalk accelerator program that facilitates rapid development on and around Beanstalk in a decentralized fashion. The Q4 budget of 100,000 Beans will allow Bean Sprout to focus on fulfilling a number of objectives:

Launch at least one more Beanstalk-based company (e.g., begin development and raise capital);
- Focus on onboarding businesses and real world assets into the Beanstalk ecosystem;
- Conduct a thorough customer discovery process;
- Implement a Beanstalk custody solution, and;
- Recruit world-class builders and businesses onto Beanstalk.
Finalize at least one wallet and banking partnership to support Beans such that the introduction of a Bean Card is possible alongside a seamless fiat to Beanstalk onramp;
Root product launches, pending audits, and;
- Fungible Deposited Bean-Denominated-Value ERC-20 Tokens, and;
- Seaport Fork Facet added to Beanstalk.
Grow Fungible Deposit BDV (“FDBDV”) liquidity and attempt to accelerate acceptance in protocols across DeFi.
