Proposal: Expand Custom Taker Fee on Stable to Stable Trades on Celo

TL;DR

Previous proposal have been brought up to the Bancor DAO that set a 0.001% (1/10th of a basis point) fee on stable to stable trades for certain trading pairs.

This proposal is looking to expand on these previous proposals by setting a lower fee on the following:

USDT-USDCcUSD-USDTcUSD-USDCUSDGLO-USDTUSDGLO-USDCUSDGLO-cUSD

trading pairs on the Carbon DeFi deployment on Celo.

Overview:

The default taker fee on Carbon DeFi for CELO is 0.2%. This means that anyone taking an order from the protocol has to pay this amount. Previous proposals:

have been brought up to the Bancor DAO to lower this fee to 0.001% on stable to stable trades for certain trading pairs in order to make Carbon DeFi more competitive with stable to stable swaps that are normally lower across all DEXs (e.g. On Uniswap v3/v4, stable to stable trading pairs are typically set to 1 basis point).

This proposal is seeking to expand the custom taker fee to the following six trading pairs on CELO. Specifically, these trading pairs:

USDT-USDCcUSD-USDTcUSD-USDCUSDGLO-USDTUSDGLO-USDCUSDGLO-cUSD

that have the following CAs:

USDT (https://celoscan.io/address/0x48065fbBE25f71C9282ddf5e1cD6D6A887483D5e)

USDC (https://celoscan.io/address/0xcebA9300f2b948710d2653dD7B07f33A8B32118C)

cUSD (https://celoscan.io/address/0x765de816845861e75a25fca122bb6898b8b1282a)

USDGLO (https://celoscan.io/address/0x4f604735c1cf31399c6e711d5962b2b3e0225ad3)

Why these tokens?

FOR: Update the taker fee to .001% on these six trading pairs on CELO

AGAINST: Take no Action
