All great points. The reason I used āloseā, is because in my experience Iāve seen this price impact require an increase in slippage tolerance which leads to sandwich attacks and being arbitraged by bots across chains right after your buy order goes through. I think you are absolutely right if you spread buys out over time, you are less likely to be affected by price impact - just a lot more effort which is not the worst thing.
You are also correct that some of these (Lido, Rocketpool) involve incentivizing liquidity for their staking tokens - but interestingly enough it looks like Rocketpool incentivizes liquidity on the RPL / rETH pairing. I think there is some value to be explored in LPing against a LSD, rather than native ETH, but that could add another layer of complexity. Would like to hear your opinion on a HOP / wstETH or HOP / rETH liquidity pool.
I think the advice to reset this proposal is helpful and ultimately makes sense. I am happy to start over with a more detailed RFC & I will try to engage with some of the top delegates in the community, along with the rest of the active participants. Thanks for working through this one with me.
