Example Proposal ## Title: Reduce Protocol Fee to 0.75% ### Summary Reduce the protocol fee from 1% to 0.75% to increase competitiveness. ### Motivation Competitor platforms charge 0.5%. Reducing fees will attract more users. ### Specification - Call `FeeManager.setCreationFeeBps(USDC, 75)` - Call `FeeManager.setCreationFeeBps(USDT, 75)` ### Impact - Treasury revenue: -25% per transaction - Expected volume increase: +50% - Net effect: +12.5% total revenue ### Risks - Revenue decrease if volume doesn't increase - Perception of instability from frequent changes
