I’m not confused, you are leaving out the PyBot conveniently and change the discussion to SAF.
The PyBot gives me an unique perspective on the trades at 1.5% spread on Poloniex. I can tell you they are very, very low even when the volume was still at 10k/day. So the NuBots and Pybot are just sitting there almost idle which they are supposed to do by the way, but still keeping the peg.
That is the part I struggle with.
It is, but I don’t have the time to put up motions and have even more discussions.
Not sure why you are suddenly go down this alleyway as I didn’t raise costs as an issue. My focus is not in cost but in what it delivers. We need some volume and support a close peg for end users during low volatility periods. An ALP can provide that as LPs would typically withdraw during periods of high volatility leaving the gateways to defend the peg.
So I’m looking for low spreads (=<1%) to generate some volume and support end users and relatively small pools (<10k) as we have gateways defending alongside at the moment.
