Dinos budget request #10

a. Scope

Our goal is to become one of the most successful solvers in DeFi while creating synergies for Yearn and supporting the protocol's operations.

b. Plan

3 months, during which we'll continue working on onboarding liquidity sources and optimizing the solver. Prominent to-dos (not necessarily ordered by priority):

1. Colocation. Executing winning batches, unlocking MEV rebates
2. Adapt solver to incoming protocol change COW CIP - Moving from batch auction to the fair combinatorial auction
3. Launch on Avalanche and Optimism
4. CowAMM pool integration [WIP]
5. Curve Lend integration
6. Resupply token redemptions as alternative to AMMs [WIP]
7. Uniswap V4 integration
8. Balancer V3 integration
9. Aggregation API (i.e., I want X for Y, give me the calldata to execute)
10. Ad-hoc requests
