Hello @wisco,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We understand the issues you’ve mentioned regarding swaps being routed through inadequate pools, particularly the recent incidents involving the XMR pool causing significant price impacts. This is not the experience we want our users to have, and we are actively working to address these challenges.
The ability for any user to create new pools with a value over $10 was implemented to enhance the decentralization and permission-less nature of our platform. While this feature has many benefits, we acknowledge it has inadvertently affected trade paths in ways we did not foresee. Rest assured, we have notified our app development team about the issues with trade routes being impacted and specifically routing through XMR. They are currently investigating and working on a solution to optimize the trade paths and ensure more efficient and fair swaps.
Regarding your concerns about swaps not going through and the functionality of the pDEX, we are aware of these issues. As indicated in the post you referenced, which is still marked as ‘(Pending)’, our app team is diligently working through these problems to enhance the reliability and performance of the pDEX.
We also understand your hesitation to deposit more funds, participate in pools, Provide, or run a node under these circumstances. Our team is committed to creating a robust and reliable platform. The encouragement to run nodes is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen our network, but we fully recognize that each member of our community must make decisions that best fit their comfort and risk tolerance.
Lastly, we want to inform you that our development team is in the process of finalizing our next roadmap. This roadmap will outline our upcoming initiatives and improvements, addressing many of the concerns raised by our community, including enhancing the reliability and efficiency of the pDEX.
