CIP-Draft: Simplifying the operations of the CoW DAO bonding pool

After reading Harisang’s reasoning more carefully, I now better understand the motivation behind this proposal and generally agree with its direction.

I still think the current solver market economics are challenging, especially for smaller or developing solvers. However, from a broader operational perspective, simplifying the bonding pool framework and reducing the operational overhead for the CoW DAO is a reasonable goal.

The current system has accumulated many special rules and operational requirements over time, which increases complexity for both the DAO and participating solvers. In the long run, a simpler and more standardized framework could improve the security and sustainability of the CoW DAO bonding pool while also reducing operational pressure and coordination costs.

I also think the proposal reflects an important long-term direction for the protocol: gradually moving solvers toward greater independence and responsibility through more structured bonding mechanisms.

That said, I still believe solver revenue concentration and the relatively low profitability of smaller solvers should be taken into consideration during implementation. A gradual rollout or some form of adaptive mechanism may help balance long-term security goals with maintaining healthy solver competition.
