Look through the above tables, we can figure that the unbalance of the pool assets is one of the most influential factors of price slippage. About 4 times of liquidity(ETH and stETH combine) will be needed to keep a 1000 stETH transaction at the same slippage while pool weight went from 1:1(stETH-WETH) to 3:1.

So, keeping the LP APR at a level of more attractive compared to other ETH yield generated options and less attractive compared to the stETH staking yield is very important to build healthier liquidity pools. Fundamentally, our **incentive target is to encourage more ETH to join in the pool, not more stETH.**
