**kaiAura-Aura v3 Stable Pool & Upcoming Balancer Gauge**

🗳 **Vote Here:** [Snapshot Proposal](https://snapshot.box/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x5628c9e9173f694366e5a47d21f597c0cf932d41e3114e7f6e302441d5a03fe7)

**Community Feedback & Enhancements**

The initial kaiAura-Aura pool was designed with a strong price peg mechanism, ensuring a stable 1:1 ratio. However, community feedback, **whales** in particular, have highlighted that the conversion process led to higher price impact, limiting the ability of larger participants to enter or exit efficiently. While this mechanism effectively maintained the peg, it also limited some of the the protocol’s growth due to reduced capital flexibility.

**Introducing a v3 Stable Pool**

To maintain the strong peg **while enabling larger transactions with minimal price impact**, we are introducing the **kaiAura-Aura v3 Stable Pool** alongside the existing **kaiAura-Aura v2 Volatile Pool**. These pools will work in tandem to optimize liquidity provision and trading efficiency.

For optimal execution, traders are encouraged to use **aggregators** such as **Odos** or the **Balancer UI** to ensure trade routing through both pools, particularly for larger transactions.

**TLDR:**

• **Stable Pool for Efficient Swaps:** More capital-efficient trades at scale, with lower price impact.

• **Volatile Pool for Deep Liquidity:** Continued incentivizing for liquidity in the volatile pool to ensure market depth and visibility.

• **Trade Optimization:** The stable pool will generally offer better execution until a certain threshold, beyond which trades will naturally pull from the volatile pool.
