Given that we want to promote using the new shorting mechanism as a longterm replacement for iSynths, we want to increase the cap.\nWe have been watching user behaviour during the first week of promoted shorting and have alleviated concerns that drove the initial cap, so we can safely increase it to 30m now and continue monitoring it.</p>\n<h2 id=\"copyright\" style=\"position:relative;\"><a href=\"#copyright\" aria-label=\"copyright permalink\" class=\"anchor before\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" height=\"16\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 16 16\" width=\"16\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M4 9h1v1H4c-1.5 0-3-1.69-3-3.5S2.55 3 4 3h4c1.45 0 3 1.69 3 3.5 0 1.41-.91 2.72-2 3.25V8.59c.58-.45 1-1.27 1-2.09C10 5.22 8.98 4 8 4H4c-.98 0-2 1.22-2 2.5S3 9 4 9zm9-3h-1v1h1c1 0 2 1.22 2 2.5S13.98 12 13 12H9c-.98 0-2-1.22-2-2.5 0-.83.42-1.64 1-2.09V6.25c-1.09.53-2 1.84-2 3.25C6 11.31 7.55 13 9 13h4c1.45 0 3-1.69 3-3.5S14.5 6 13 6z\"></path></svg></a>Copyright</h2>\n<p>Copyright and related rights waived via <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/\">CC0</a>.</p>"}},"pageContext":{"id":"1ab4a9c4-2334-5f84-9ff6-68bed1948072","frontmatter__sccp":85,"__params":{"frontmatter__sccp":"85"}}},"staticQueryHashes":[]}
