CORE Router Improvement Leads

General Discussion
1

The CORE Router is a set of contracts that allow you to connect into CORE liquidity so that you can interact with the CORE ecosystem. The router is designed to facilitate liquidity management and interactions within the ecosystem. Several functions were tested in the initial version:

  1. Liquidity Zap. Convert Tokens into ETH.
  2. Wrapper. Wrap ERC-95 into and out of CORE.
  3. Flash Arbitrage. Utilize CORE liquidity to increase yield.

Included a 4th proposed function of Swapper (Dex).

Here I present some ideas to expand the functionality of the CORE Router.

I excluded obvious ones like flashloan swaps etc.

Also after having made this post I believe cLEND should be formally a part of the CORE Router.

Disclaimer, I am simply discussing these ideas. I have no clue how viable they could be but worth discussing. Also these functions could also bring in potential security risks, especially the more functions the router has the more risk it entails.

Comment

Idea from BlockFi. You could generate token yields in the same token you deposited or choose a specific token to generate yield in. This was benefitial for the company since it generated swap revenue and benefitial for users that were market savy and wanted to diversify or double down.

For CORE swaps benefit the ecosystem by locking more liquidity thereby having automatic swaps could be benefitial. For savy CORE users it means the freedom to choose their yield and also save on gas since the gas for this can be pooled by the vault.

Comment - idea from ETH Forwarders, Relayers, ERC-2771 (Meta-Transactions) & ERC-4337 (Account Abstraction) ref . Why am I paying for gas? it’s 2024. Burning and swapping CORE tokens could be subsidized automatically since this increases the security of the system. Big problem obviously this is new and has had recent exploits but regardless an interesting concept especially for mainnets with high costs (BTC ETH).
