Long story but to put this in perspective: - Coinbase uses ~25% of all ETH blockspace - With diff. architecture, would use 20-40% less gas Demand for blockspace is inelastic, so fixing this would mean significantly cheaper DeFi transactions h/t @ASvanevik for checking my math

My second thought was: wait, doesn't this break liquidity mining schemes? Because now a Uniswap NFT doesn't prove you're actually providing any liquidity. E.g., I can create a limit order *way* off the mid-market price that will never get hit. This shouldn't get rewarded.
