What further research is Gauntlet seeking?
If most volume is being routed through alternative frontends due to Aerodrome’s lower fees, and more competition arises to match those fees, then Aerodrome’s bribe costs will lead to significantly lower trading fee accrual in the long term, even if they continue to undercut the true market fee dynamics.
An observation on potential conflicts of interest:
In DAO proposals involving competitive movements, it is essential to disclose potential conflicts of interest. Some paid delegates work with other DAOs and may hold tokens in those DAOs, which could influence their voting behavior. In such cases, declaring the conflict and abstaining from voting on those grounds is appropriate.
For example, Gauntlet “works closely” with Aerodrome on strategies related to “migration strategy.”
