I am looking for a specific date and time that the pool for vBNT will be expanded. A source would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder why it is so restricted. Perhaps it’s because the increase will reduce vote participation which the bancor team really wants?

the APR for the pool should aim to 5-10% and expand / shrink the pool size to achieve this

But it will take away from staked voting. I don’t think they want too much vbnt locked up when they need more participation?
