Since the release of Carbon, it is quite clear that this is the future of Bancor for now until more products are released (yes, I think this is just the beginning). To that extent, this proposal is seeking to start sunsetting V3. Via [https://analytics.bancor.network](https://analytics.bancor.network) I was able to pull a CSV file of all the current V3 data.

and Bancorians should read that post to have an understanding about this proposal

**TL;DR**

- USDT pool on Bancor v3 might have a surplus in the future
- This proposal is looking to set the funding limit to 0 if it goes into surplus in the future

**Summary**

This is fairly simple and straight forward. Setting the funding limit to 0 on a Bancor 3 pool means that it no longer trades as there is no BNT liquidity allocated to it. Any BNT liquidity currently allocated to the pool is burned.

# For

Set the funding limit to 0 on the USDT pool if it is currently in surplus. Otherwise, if at any point in the future of this proposal passing the pool goes into surplus then the funding limit can be set to 0.

# Against

Do nothing.

Just to point out, the last batch of proposals said 365 days, this says any point in the future.

I don’t have an issue either way, just pointing out.

I removed the 365 day window and just left it at forever as it might be better this way.
