After developing a self-sustainable harvest bot and a couple of strategies I have a few observations.
Remember “subsidized gas”? Harvesting should be paid for from the performance fee. This was never solved, so be it. All my strategist rewards for 3pool go towards keeping the strategy running. 0.5% is not sustainable to keep strategists happy.
Other point is developing a strategy. It is very expensive to deploy and test contracts, I’ve spent over 15 ether so far and I’m not finished yet. The $250 from the example wouldn’t even pay for the Vault + Strategy deployment if you miraculously manage to nail it from the first attempt.
I think the initial split was a huge mistake and a 10x bump of strategist reward is warranted.
