**Proposal Title:** Listing OriginTrail's TRAC Token on Hydration Omnipool to Expand Cross-Chain Liquidity and AI Utility

**Proposer:** OriginTrail Core Developers

**Date:** June 13 2025

**📌 Overview**
This proposal seeks to list TRAC (Snowbridge), the native token of the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG), on Hydration DEX Omnipool, thereby enabling trustless TRAC trading and liquidity provisioning within the Polkadot ecosystem. This listing will strengthen TRAC’s multi-chain accessibility and boost the adoption of OriginTrail’s Web3 infrastructure for artificial intelligence while making the token available to Polkadot users on their favorite DeFi platform.

**🔍 Background on OriginTrail and TRAC**
OriginTrail is an open-source protocol for driving trustworthy AI, and DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) applications. OriginTrail powers AI-ready knowledge assets secured by the DKG and supported by its native utility token, TRAC. On Ethereum, OriginTrail supports deployments on Base and Gnosis chains. OriginTrail is also already present on Polkadot with its Neuroweb parachain (listing of NEURO in an Isolated Pool to soon follow). 

TRAC use cases include:

- Staking to secure the DKG
- Publishing and driving provenance of AI-ready knowledge assets

With a current [market cap of $185M](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/origintrail/), daily volumes exceeding $3M, and many listings including Coinbase, Kraken and other major exchanges, we believe that TRAC will be a valuable addition to the Omnipool, enabling users on Polkadot to trustlessly trade it and provide liquidity for it.

In order to bring TRAC to Polkadot, OriginTrail will be making use of [Snowbridge](https://app.snowbridge.network/), one of Polkadot’s trustless bridges. After being bridged from Ethereum to Polkadot Asset Hub, TRAC can be XCMed to Hydration and used for trading / LPing. All of this should happen in a seamless manner, thanks to Hydration’s user-friendly cross-chain UI which allows users to select Ethereum as a source chain and Hydration as a destination chain. (more details available in OriginTrail [OT-RFC-23](https://github.com/OriginTrail/OT-RFC-repository/tree/main/RFCs/OT-RFC-23-Trustless_Neuroweb_-_Ethereum_TRAC_bridge))

**🌉 Action Plan**

1. This proposal is open for discussion for 1 week, after which we will proceed with submitting a referendum to place an on-chain remark, stating that the Hydration DAO supports the listing of TRAC in the Omnipool;
2. Register TRAC in the Hydration Asset Registry;
3. Request from the Hydration team whitelisting of TRAC in the UI, and UI support for bridging TRAC;
4. Provide initial TRAC liquidity by sending it to the Omnipool account;
5. The Hydration DAO effectuates the LP using a fast-tracked referendum and transfers back the LP positions.


The plan is to provide $300 000 (in TRAC) as initial liquidity, with the outlook of further TVL growth with the help of incentives.

**🗳️ Call to Action**
Please share your opinion on the Omnipool listing of TRAC in this thread. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and we are looking forward to strengthening Polkadot’s position as a hub for Web3 AI, data, and DePIN applications - together.
