If validated, those changes will happen during the next emission update on April 15th @ 12am utc.
We'll start introducing this pair by allocating 10% of the GRAIL emissions (6.2% of the total emissions) to it. The main advantages of doing so will be to slightly decorrelate EXC from FTM, and to create fresh arb opportunities for EXC. We're aiming to assigning to this pair up to 30% of the GRAIL emissions. This will be done very progressively to control its impact on the EXC/FTM APRs, (especially for its locked stakers).
True LUNAtics can't ignore the recent huge amount of bridged LUNA liquidity on Fantom this last week. We naturally feel that this is the perfect opportunity to further support the Terra ecosystem, but also to get fresh swap volume from a highly traded pair.
As of now, those two pools don't have any value for Excalibur's ecosystem except from the simple TVL addition. We feel that now is the right time to end them, giving us the opportunity to release their emissions and re-allocate them to other farms more likely to generate higher trading volume.
