CoE Sponsored NYC Meet Up Was A Success!
On Sep 24th 2022, the CoE conducted our 2nd ever in person IRL meetup in the heart of NYC. The entire day went without a hiccup. The networking breakfast was amazing and the panels were great. We were even blessed to have a panel conducted by Richard Craib himself entitled “Multi-strategy hedge funds and their discontents, their past and their future.” After the event several of the attendees including Richard made their way down to “take over” Wall Street.
Check out all Materials from CoE Sponsored Meetups here (Richard’s presentation is still currently being reviewed by compliance before being released)
The CoE will soon create a new list of target locations for Q1 2023 to be voted on

NMR Liquidity on Uniswap Provided by the CoE Moved From 1% to 0.3% Pool
On Oct 11th it was announced by the CoE that the position created on the 1% pool created on V3 Uniswap has been closed and all funds have been moved to a newly created 0.3% pool. Before the change, any liquidity moving though the 1% pool paid a 1% fee to the CoE. Now the NMR/ETH pair on uniswap by the CoE is in a 0.3% fee pool so anyone trading against it will have much lower fees. This will be more beneficial for NMR holders to swap in. It may also work out well for us because more volume can now be routed through this pool so it is possible that the gains in volume may offset the decrease in the fee percentage.
Here is more from jrAI in the rocket chat:
You can track the stats of their new pool here:
https://revert.finance/#/uniswap-position/mainnet/335624
It's a little too early to tell, but so far it looks like fee APY has increased even with a lower fee tier
We can also test this out by using 1inch (a DEX aggregator) to see how an ETH to NMR swap would be routed. In this case a 10 ETH purchase of NMR would have 12% of its volume now routed through the CoE's 0.3% uniswap v3 pool. Pretty awesome. Amazingly there is still 22% of the volume routing through uniswap v1. There seems to be someone who probably forgot about their liquidity there or just doesn't want to move it. the current 1% fee tier is still getting about 58% of the volume routed through it because it has more liquidity, but that will likely change over time.
