Proposal: Swap for yCRV to Assist Peg - RESOLVED

Proposals Vaults

I may be wrong in the effect of my proposal, so please correct or ignore me if I am.

It seems that the yCRV peg being so far off isn’t great for getting new users to trust the protocol, right or wrong.

Would encouraging users to swap their CRV for yCRV on the Curve DEX, rather than zapping in and minting the yCRV, help absorb some of the excess yCRV in the LP and create some demand to help lift the peg closer to 1:1?

Having a stronger peg might help generate demand. More people using the CRV autocompounder would be more people learning the protocol and committing more capital to it.

I’m simply proposing adding an explainer and a link to the Curve DEX to encourage users to use that rather than minting. They can always mint if they want to.

EDIT: It’s been explained that the Zaps already do that, so I’ve marked this post as resolved.

The yCRV zap automatically chooses to swap versus mint if it results in more yCRV for the user, and swapping via cowswap or other aggregators would provide the same benefit as well. So it sounds like we just need to add a sentence to the yCRV site clarifying that the zap automatically chooses the best route for optimal yCRV return?

Well, dern. I thought I was smart there for a moment. Adding the sentence might help people like me understand that, but probably wouldn’t do much for the peg.

Thanks for responding.
