[DRAFT] Proposal to upgrade the Astroport Factory to v1.10 or higher

Proposals Discussion
1

Summary

This proposal requests approval to (1) upgrade the Astroport Factory to v1.10 or higher to support the concentrated_sale_tax pool type, as well as a newly introduced feature for whitelisted pool creation and (2) whitelist the Superbolt Foundry so Superbolt can create and manage concentrated_sale_tax pools as part of its incentive model.

concentrated_sale_tax mirrors the existing xyk_sale_tax behavior, enabling a configurable sale tax on either side of a concentrated liquidity pool.

Motivation

Superbolt is introducing a new incentive model that requires a protocol-native way to apply configurable sale taxes within concentrated liquidity pools. The goal is to enable incentives that are enforced at the pool level (rather than relying on off-chain coordination or ad-hoc routing assumptions), while keeping the mechanism transparent and aligned with existing Astroport design patterns.

Astroport already supports sale-tax mechanics via xyk_sale_tax. Extending the same concept to concentrated liquidity through concentrated_sale_tax allows Superbolt to implement its incentive model using standardized Astroport primitives, minimizing bespoke integrations and reducing ambiguity for users and integrators.

Because Superbolt will need to deploy and manage these pools in an automated and tightly integrated manner, the Superbolt Foundry must be permissioned to create concentrated_sale_tax pools. This is best achieved by whitelisting the Superbolt Foundry at the factory level, maintaining Astroport’s governance control over who can instantiate this pool type.

Implementation

  1. Upgrade Astroport Factory to v1.10+

    • Required to enable creation and support of concentrated_sale_tax pools.

  2. Whitelist Superbolt Foundry to create concentrated_sale_tax pools:

    • Superbolt Foundry (Neutron):

  3. Scope / Non-goals

    • No changes to existing pools or parameters.

    • No blanket permission for arbitrary contracts - whitelisting is specific to the Superbolt Foundry address above.

Conclusion

Approving this proposal enables Superbolt’s upcoming incentive model using a standardized Astroport pool primitive (concentrated_sale_tax) while preserving governance control through a factory upgrade and targeted whitelisting. This expands composability for concentrated liquidity incentives without impacting existing pools or requiring broad, permissive factory access.
