Its trading worker and the separate buybacks funded by arbitrage profit are stopped.\n\nThe pool now uses the previously deployed prediction implementation. The token address, pool, fee allocations and other functions stay in place. NFT Vaults retain their 50,000-CLAUS backing, redemption, earned balances and continuing 0.35% reward allocation. Ordinary burns, liquidity additions, FOMO buybacks, weather, Rising Tide and predictions continue.\n\nThe change was checked on a current Ethereum fork before execution. A normal swap returned the same token amount before and after the change, and the NFT reward allocation continued. The implementation change preserved the checked contract state and balances.\n\nA future arbitrage integration will be a separate change with its own review and record. Earlier entries describe the version that was live at the time.","href":"https://etherscan.io/tx/0x2c4f5606f352cefc6add8077f95a71162505273e26527484cb73ca48fda19bb6","title":"Arbitrage, taken out","number":21,"onchain":{"chainId":1,"protocol":"claus-journal/1","blockHash":"0x3368f25941227df85613f6ae9be741cafcdde45ccbd143cd153ea37f119f7bcf","publisher":"0xBb145cA83272c3806D4dDc75cA1D5514789cF1C5","blockNumber":26136111,"payloadHash":"0x4d24e8f66ae22cfbbaf6b953c88c7441831d9257f352bbdf5d8e09d32a1f9864","transactionHash":"0x2a3ebc277716ae850c6f02b61ff43f13e856f7d0bda3d774b280c8ef04cbccf7"},"summary":"I removed the arbitrage function and stopped its trading and profit-funded buybacks.
