All V3 pools to max trading liquidity

This week, the request to boost trade liquidity for 18 whitelisted Bancor pools, including BBS, BORING, CHZ, DAO, ENS, GTC, HOT, INST, LQTY, MFG, MKR, RARI, RLC, RPL, SHEESHA, STAKE, VITA, and WSTETH, was approved.

This update allows tokens that are outside the bonding curve to be matched with BNT and made tradeable. This enables the protocol to earn additional trading fees, which can be used to purchase BNT and burn vBNT. The burning of vBNT binds BNT to the protocol and is intended to aid in the creation of token surpluses on the network.
