Adding Assets to yETH

Prerequisites

You will need access to the necessary governance contracts and a sufficient voting weight of at least 100 to create proposals. You can check your voting weight here.

Step 1: Enable One-Off Inclusion Vote​

Since the adoption of this proposal, inclusion voting is off by default and needs to be enabled for the next epoch. Here is how you do that.

To enable a one-off inclusion vote, a governance call must be made to the set_enable_epoch(next_epoch) function on the InclusionVote contract. This requires crafting and getting a governance proposal approved. Follow the instructions below:

  1. Create the text of your proposal and pin it to IPFS. The ipfs_hash should point to a document hosted on IPFS with details explaining the proposal and its rationale. You can host your own IPFS document or use a provider like Piñata. For this, you should explain why you want to enable an inclusion vote, what assets you want to propose, etc.

  2. Generate a script by calling the script(_to, _data) view function on the yPools Executor contract. In this case, you want this script to call set_enable_epoch() on the InclusionVote contract with the value of the next epoch.

    • Set the_to(address) field to the InclusionVote contract: 0x6bc0878939669339e82dbFa13d260c89230f2c31.
    • Then create the ABI-encoded data for the function set_enable_epoch() with the argument set to the next epoch. Below is a ABI encoding widget that you can use. It should be pre-populated with the correct contract and function, but you need to enter the next epoch into the "Function Argument" box. The current epoch should be listed at the top of this page in the Live Governance Info admonition. Just add 1 to that number. Then hit "Encode" and take the output from the widget and put it in the _data(bytes) field on etherscan.
    • Click query and copy the result.

  1. You can now create the proposal via the proposal page or directly by calling the propose(ipfs_hash, script) function on the GenericGovernor contract. Enter the IPFS pin and the script value that you created in steps one and 2.

  2. Once the proposal is created, the governance process will need to:

    • Approve the proposal.
    • Execute the set_enable_epoch(next_epoch) function to enable the inclusion vote for the next epoch.

Step 2: Apply for Inclusion​

To apply to have an LST included in yETH's basket of tokens, you will need to fill out the application form and pay a non-refundable application fee. Any token that has applied for inclusion and has a rate provider set by Yearn will be eligible for the inclusion vote that was enabled above.

Step 3: Outcome​

Once the vote is complete, the winner (if any) will be included into yETH.
