Hi @Spaydh
While I can see why, should the community decide to wait before migrating the ANC-UST pools to Astroport, it would make them ineligible to ASTRO lock-drop rewards, I’m struggling to understand why that would also make them ineligible to post-launch rewards. I was under the impression that Astroport would be rewarding a wide range of interaction with the protocol (trading, LPing,…) with ASTRO in order to distribute the token as widely as possible, which I fully support. Why should Anchor’s pools be deprived of ASTRO rewards, should its community decide to put the safety of one of Terra’s flagship protocol first? I’m certainly getting this wrong, @lukedelphi would you mind clearing this out?
At the time of Astroport launch it makes the most sense to reward pools which would bring the maximum value to Astroport and also the project in question.
If Anchor continues to incentivise the Terraswap pool, then what little trading volume there is would remain mostly on Terraswap and building liquidity for an Astroport ANC-UST pair would not bring much benefit to Astroport. Additionally fragmenting liquidity between Astroport and Terraswap would not be helpful to Anchor either as trades would be less capital efficient on Terraswap.
That said, soon after launch emissions will be decided by Astroport governance and any pair on Astroport may be voted in to receive a share of emissions. Any ANC based pair would certainly not be ineligible.
