[DCR] Wind Down 25 Low-Liquidity and Inactive Markets

Summary

This proposal seeks to wind down and move the following 25 markets to final settlement due to continued inactivity and lack of trading volume:

AERO-USD
ANIME-USD
BANANA-USD
CORE-USD
CVX-USD
DASH-USD
DEGEN-USD
FLR-USD
GOAT-USD
HNT-USD
IOTA-USD
IOTX-USD
IP-USD
JASMY-USD
KOMA-USD
LINEA-USD
ME-USD
NEIRO-USD
PIPPIN-USD
RAY-USD
TRB-USD
TRY-USD
USDE-USD
YFI-USD
ZEREBRO-USD

None of these markets recorded any trades during the month of March.


Rationale

All selected markets exhibit:

  • No trading activity throughout March

  • Persistently low liquidity

  • Inefficient order books with wide bid-ask spreads

Markets that remain inactive over a full month fail to provide meaningful execution opportunities and reduce overall platform efficiency.


Motivation

Delisting these inactive markets will:

  • Improve overall market quality and user experience

  • Reduce operational and oracle overhead

  • Consolidate liquidity into actively traded markets

  • Maintain a more focused and capital-efficient trading environment


Technical Implementation

The proposal will:

  • Disable the affected markets

  • Transition all listed pairs to STATUS_FINAL_SETTLEMENT

  • Disable associated price feeds


Timeline

This proposal follows the new monthly delisting cadence: forum discussion begins March 27, the proposal moves on-chain on April 1, and execution is scheduled for April 3.


We welcome community feedback prior to submitting this proposal for an on-chain governance vote.

These markets and much more are inactive and lack of trading volume ,as much more with too little trading volume ,because the market makers they have huge spread that touch the 40% in some cases.So how somebody can trade with such spreads? So instead of move away or any other you have to push the market makers for tighter the spreads.There is no future for protocol if traders can’t trade because of spread.A spread more than 0.2% its not acceptable
