Hydro: What's in it for me?
summary
Hydro auctions Hub ATOM to protocols that bid for temporary liquidity, with a pilot offering one-month pilot loans and requiring bids in ATOM that may be converted to stATOM or dATOM for deposit; round one limits pools to stable-pairs only to avoid impermanent loss. Current rollout uses a Hydro committee and manual gates, plans to automate with a Veillance/timewave tool, and faces complaints about short windows, confusing timelines, and the need for longer or on‑demand durations for real bootstrap use.
