### This proposal is expected to appear on Snapshot for voting on 2022-01-02T12:00:00Z. Make sure to stake your vBNT for voting before this date and time to participate in the DAO decision.

#### To pass, this proposal requires 40% quorum and 66.7% supermajority in the Bancor DAO

# TLDR

- This proposal seeks to increase the trading liquidity from **2.1M BNT** to **2.5M BNT** for the ROOK/BNT pool.
- KeeperDAO is looking to deposit a portion ( **~6400 ROOK** ) of their treasury on Bancor. Opening space in the pool will allow for these funds to be deposited on Bancor.
- The KeeperDAO community has already passed a [proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/rook.eth/proposal/0x621d2c8a2abf634559a6b7b360dd131c6796fe5a00aad06a14c20e19cabcbf11)(with zero objections) to stake these funds in Bancor but the space that we had previously opened was front ran. This proposal is seeking to make additional space for the $ROOK treasury.
- A larger ROOK-BNT pool will reduce price impact and therefore attract more trades from retail users, aggregators, and professional market makers to Bancor.

# Abstract

There is currently **~1.6M BNT** and **~35K ROOK** tokens in the BNT-ROOK [pool](https://etherscan.io/address/0xFa7b9AD60304119f59B172Ef78B98D50cb9A5c98). This has resulted in a pool that has roughly **~10.2M** in liquidity. At the moment, we won’t be able to support the ROOK treasury and they won’t be able to provide single-sided liquidity since there is not enough capacity. This proposal is seeking to increase single-sided capacity in the ROOK pool by increasing the trading liquidity to **2.5M BNT**.

Happy to see it, ROOK has been a long time supporter, along with their liquidity adds they’ve also brought limit orders to Bancor and I’m sure we can count on more collabs as we both continue to build.
