Proposal: CIP-72: Aligning quoting and solving behavior of solvers
Vote: For
Reasoning: We support CIP-72 as it meaningfully strengthens the alignment between quoting and execution behaviour, addressing a growing misalignment that has led to inefficiencies and potential exploitation of the quote rewards mechanism. By conditioning quote rewards on the solver’s willingness and ability to match their quotes during execution, the proposal discourages strategic overbidding. It encourages more accurate pricing—improving user outcomes and protocol integrity.
Additionally, the modest increase in quote reward caps on select chains offers a pragmatic balance: offsetting edge cases where honest quotes may go unrewarded due to market shifts, without unduly incentivising toxic or circular trading behaviour.
