We are not the deepest source of liquidity for this token and the uniswap, sushiswap, and quickswap AAVE-ETH pools are deeper:

There is also a Uniswap V3 pool with roughly ~$3.37M in liquidity.

All for this one as an Aave LP for bancor. I will happily leave my liquidity here if this goes through. Polygon Aave rewards ending soon could see a flock back to bancor and we should consider marketing when the time comes to invite the users looking for a new home!

Is this worth spending 20,000 BNT per week?

I’ll vote yes. Currently not in the LM here, had most my AAVE staked on Polygon, but will certainly move it here if LM is extended. AAVE Polygon LM rewards were around 19-23% (was higher than Bancor), so many are like me I’m sure. One more extension could really help us capture even more TVL and volume. AAVE volume compared to other tokens has really impressed during the current crab environment.

Our rates are the best in the market right now, I will vote for this if we half rewards or adjust somewhat at-least. Sorry for the late response

I am not an Aave holder or an LP in this pool (I don’t have have a horse in this race). The native Aave staking APR is not that far off from the current APR on this pool.

Note that Aave also incentivizes their Aave-ETH LPs on balancer:

FWIW, I’d vote FOR because I have AAVE that I would unstake from AAVE and bring over to Bancor should LM rewards be extended, if not I’ll leave them over on AAVE.

@mbr It might make sense to potentially have two proposals on snapshot for this renewal. One proposal at the current rate and a separate proposal with the rewards cut in half (similar to what was done a few weeks ago for the vote on increasing the fees for the vortex burner). It would be nice to use RCV here (a proposal with different choices for rewards rate i.e. 50% reduction, 25% reduction, current rate, against, etc… ) but there isn’t really an easy way for us to use RCV since a choice is consider a winner if if it has majority support (> 50%, which is problematic for our supermajority requirements).

FYI, I added the following extra point to the TL;DR:

2a. There might be a separate proposal that reduces the rewards in half for this pool with the existing conditions left in place.
