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

@karolak , that is a very reasonable idea. We had discussed it internally under the Value Distribution initiative and it was an idea (“community funded bonds”) that was put out of scope of this CIP, mostly due to:

  1. Being a higher complexity exercise that would remove the velocity of simplifying the operations;
  2. As per Aragon’s research and initial draft, this would require solvers to pay a cost of capital / incentive to token holders that delegate said tokens (thus impacting the solvers P&L, which is already a sensitive topic as discussed in this thread).
  3. Opens an attack vector under AML / KYC as malicious actors could use the bonds for money laundering under a fully decentralised solver acceptance mechanism.

So while I agree with you that it makes a lot of sense that idea, would consider it should be out of scope of the current CIP and a more medium term initiative research topic.

Since there has not been much new considerations in the last weeks, I would suggest this CIP is moved to voting stage.
