Grant Description

Automated fee withdrawal for solver fee distribution.

Grant Goals and Impact

Current process is automated but requires manual inspection of calldata everytime its ran by the core team members. It also requires the signers to sign the transactions everytime its ran. With the safe module contract code it won’t require dilligence since the contract code will enforce it.

Scope

Create a Safe module that can be enabled on the Safe 0x423cEc87f19F0778f549846e0801ee267a917935 that accepts an array of tokens to be sold. The orders created must adhere to the aforementioned limitations (i.e. receiver).

The grant would specifically cover the work for handling automated fee collection. Precisely:

  1. A Safe module smart contract, which creates orders on behalf of the smart contract.
  2. A script that triggers order creation onchain.

The Safe module is required to:

  • Be deployed with the receiver (address), to-token (address), and keeper (address) set as immutable variables.
  • Provide a permissioned drip function (callable only by keeper) for “dripping” protocol fees into the receiver’s account by means of CoW Protocol orders.

    • Accepts an array of structs, with the struct being defined as:

      struct SwapToken {
    IERC20 sellToken;
    uint256 sellAmount;
}

    • Creates an order selling the tokens from the GPv2Settlement contract to the receiver that is partially fillable and has buy amount 1.

    • Calls settle and triggers the orders via setPreSignature.

  • Provide a permissioned approve function to approve the vault relayer from the settlement contract.
    • Accepts an array of IERC20 tokens.
    • Approves the vault relayer on behalf of the settlement contract to spend type(uint256).max
  • Provide a permissioned revoke function to revoke approvals from the settlement contract to any contract.

    • Accepts an array of structs, with the struct being defined as:

      struct Revocation {
    IERC20 token;
    address spender;
}

    • Approves the vault relayer on behalf of the settlement contract to spend 0.

  • Gas consumption is kept to a minimum. A suggestion here is to not sell the entire balance and leave 1 wei so as to not reset the slot to zero, and waste a refund.
  • Be written in Solidity v0.8.25 using the foundry smart contract development framework.
  • Have comprehensive test coverage.
  • A script, readily packaged in a docker container, writting in typescript and ethers v6 that:
    • Handles similar parameters as the self-sell script above.
    • Creates the transaction for calling drip by the keeper EOA.
    • Calls the API to post the orders.

The script is required to:

  • Determine which tokens should be withdrawn from the settlement contract. This is all tokens whose balance on the settlement contract is worth more than a fixed, configurable amount in USD.
  • Determine which tokens need to be approved for trading.
  • Post orders to the API in the format that is accepted by the Safe module for each token to be withdrawn.
  • Send a transaction from an EOA to the module that sets any needed approval and calls drip for all orders created in the previous step.

This will have a tangible, direct effect reducing workload required by the core team with reviewing fee withdrawal transactions, and allow for a higher cadence of fee collection, reducing pressure on bonding mechanisms as well with the advent of fee collection initiatives that have been implemented recently by CoW DAO. I signal my support for this grant.

I agree with @mfw78. This will be on benefit to the core team, giving them the ability to expend efforts elsewhere. I signal my support for this grant.

4

Very interesting proposal even more as mfw78’s comment makes it clear that this proposal will be helpful for the CoW DAO and core team. I support this proposal.

5

This is a very interesting proposal.

Given the proposed value of the proposal to the Core Team I signal support for this proposal.
