ARC-62: Incentivize Initial Neutron Mainnet Pools with $ASTRO

I don’t think we should assign incentives to Astroport Neutron pools until we find out what the “main Astroport pools” phrase from ARC-57 means. Neutron will apparently be matching ASTRO incentives for the “main Astroport pools,” but we don’t yet know what those are. And once we find out what those pools are, maybe it will change the way we deploy incentives. For instance, I think incentives should be focused on the “main Astroport pools,” since incentives to those pools will effectively be doubled, since Neutron will be matching incentives.

Separately, I don’t understand why we’d want to incentivize ATOM-USDC liquidity. Astroport Neutron will have very deep ATOM-NTRN and USDC-NTRN liquidity. So anyone wanting to trade between ATOM and USDC will use those two pools. A direct ATOM-USDC pool is redundant, especially since it will be much smaller than the other two.
