I realize that this is already approved/being shipped but I was curious about what this means for smaller users (i.e. not whales/DAOs/partner protocols)
Curve contracts on L1 are notoriously gas-heavy and currently not cost-effective for anyone with <5ETH or so in gauges (depending on which pools you’re in) – between the gas fees for staking/voting/claiming and the low “impact per wei” that a regular user’s vote carries it’s not really worth bothering with, or sometimes not even worth the gas to claim/unstake/withdraw.
EDIT: re-read the quoted passage in my second question, which already answered it
