Summary
We propose a strategic partnership between Sonus Exchange and Bifrost to integrate Bifrost’s liquid staking of ASTR to mint vASTR on the Sonus ecosystem. This collaboration will establish a portal for users to mint vASTR through Sonus while also creating an incentives system for vASTR-ASTR liquidity. Our goal is to enhance both networks by providing mutual benefits and strengthening our respective communities.

Given these minting benefits and flywheel possibility we would be assigning Bifrost as one of our Main partners and sharing it with our community, on AMAs, etc. We are also willing to offer a veSONUS position to the Bifrost Treasury in order to being able to maintain a minimum share of Sonus’ total weekly rewards directed into vASTR LPs.

vASTR Integration
The portal of minting vASTR will be integrated into Sonus Exchange with the following:

• A dedicated minting page will be implemented for the vASTR collaboration
  
• vASTR Whitelist and Gauge created, allowing for liquidity provision rewards.
• Portal to minting page when the user has selected vASTR while swapping
  

Incentive Program
Sonus’ Bifrost vASTR commission share request is 50%. This will be used as bribes/incentives to the vASTR-ASTR gauge.
In practice this commission is shared with our voting token holders but their votes to get them will increase the emissions of the vASTR LP, incentivizing more liquidity therefore bigger chance of minting.
