Proposal: TRAC-BNT fee change schedule and performance analysis

Thanks for putting this together. I support the experiment and will be voting “for” this proposal. I think that the analysis will provide us with some good insights as to what the correct fee should be for pools with the highes depth on Bancor. My thesis for tokens that we have the largest moat for has always been that we can charge a higher fee premium (up to ~1%). I think that this intuitive since if you have no competition then there isn’t an alternative for buyers. The opposite is also true, you can’t charge a higher fee premium if you have competitors with equal or higher liquidity for certain tradings pairs.

Typically, I have been careful on going above 1% since this is the highest fee that one can set on uniswap v3 for volatile pairs. Granted, that the tokens that we are examining might not be volatile at all and the experiment will still be valuable since we will be able to gleam some useful data from our end for potential fee improvements and how high we can go. With that said, what ever we accomplish here should probably be reviewed at some interval every year in case another pool that’s more competitive and with equal depth comes online that starts undercutting our volume for a certain trading pair.
