Meet Enjin
The ENJ pool is a Bancor veteran. ENJ liquidity providers have been loyal members of the Bancor community long enough to witness both the v2.0 and v2.1 protocol upgrades. Their pool is among the most performant on the Bancor ecosystem, and has consistently maintained its status as the deepest non-incentivized pool on the Bancor Network. The pool has recently started punching above its weight; its closest analogue on the network is BAT, having slightly more than half the depth, and the same pool fee. However, ENJ has attracted significant swap volumes, disproportionate to its size relative to BAT. It is apparent that this could be a monster offering, if the DAO gives the pool some room to perform.
In short, ENJ LPs have demonstrated a long-term commitment to the Bancor protocol, perhaps more than any other token community. The pool is highly performant, and there is every indication that this could be an absolute overachiever in the Bancor ecosystem.

Details
The ENJ pool has been deprived of BNT co-investment increases since launch, and has had little or zero room for single-sided ENJ deposits. To support the pool’s potential, this proposal seeks to activate liquidity mining incentives with a protocol co-investment increase to 2M BNT. This will create space for all the patient ENJ holders waiting on the sidelines, and add fuel to the growing interest in Bancor exhibited by the ENJ community.

How will this benefit the Bancor protocol?
At the time of writing, Enjin has more than $500mill 24H total volume; the Bancor ecosystem is capturing only $714k of that. Growing this pool should help to access a more substantive share of the market trade volume. Without native staking available for ENJ, providing liquidity at Bancor is an attractive option for ENJ hodlers to earn passive yield.
Enjin has previously integrated Bancor as an exchange option in their own Enjin wallet, giving us the chance to be the go-to for ENJ trading. Enjin has a huge community of traders, with several sub-communities in their adopted Enjin games. By every indication, this is a community that uses the Bancor protocol for its intended function, and the value in improving our product offering for this demographic is self-evident.
