The BancorDAO is currently discussing how to create the strategy and which token pair to create the strategy with. DAO participants have proposed using a stablecoin/stablecoin recurring strategy (e.g., USDC/USDT) or an ETH-LST/ETH-LST recurring strategy (e.g., rETH/wstETH) due to these token pairs trading in relatively predictable ranges and requiring minimal maintenance by the DAO.&#x1f3db; See the proposal here: <a href="https://gov.bancor.network/t/consolidating-recent-proposals-by-alphavalion/4330/2" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://gov.bancor.network/t/consolidating-recent-proposals-by-alphavalion/4330</a>Community &amp; Content<h2 id="header-4">EthCC</h2>Attending EthCC next month in Paris?
