ERC-20 token thresholds raised

Post by Steve Sokolowski » Wed Jan 06, 2021 9:22 pm

Recently, ETH fees have skyrocketed, so we've had to raise the minimum and free payout thresholds for most ERC-20 tokens. The new free thresholds range from $500 to $1,500. The minimum thresholds have been raised to between $25 and $50. One transaction for ERC-20 tokens is averaging now between $10-$15.

If gas costs decline, we'll reduce the thresholds as quickly as possible.

The free threshold is so high that we can't accept liability for any more than we absolutely need to.

Our #1 security strategy, before everything else, is to make sure that we have as little money as possible for hackers to steal. In the past, allowing a higher max threshold wasn't much of a security risk, but now we are starting to have to keep large balances on hand. We made those two equal to try to keep down the amount of money we need to have in reserve.

please at least set the max 0.01 higher than free threshold.

What's the specific reason for this suggestion? That's not much higher.

There is no free payout when free threshold = max threshold.

I'll submit a ticket to Vance to investigate this issue and will post here when I know more.
