Deploy a new Depot contract allowing ERC20 Deposits only and removing ERC223 support.
\nERC223 support was deprecated from Synthetix in sip-30. This disabled the MAINNET Synthetix Depot from being able to accept anymore sUSD deposits. A new ERC20 only version of the Depot is required to enable sUSD deposits again once this one sold its ~1M in sUSD desposits.
\nSince the bZx attack on Feb 18 2020 the Synthetix Depot was drained of all its 943,837 sUSD in exchange for 2388 ETH rendering it empty and end of life. This occurred prematurely and a new version was quickly deployed in the Achernar release
\nModify depositSynths to use the ERC20 transferFrom workflow, requiring users to perform an approve transaction first. Mintr to have the updated approve UX for sUSD deposits.
\nERC223 did provide a better UX for users to only perform and pay for 1 transaction to depoist sUSD into the Depot. However was the only use case for ERC223 within Synthetix and the gas overhead for each transaction was about an extra 100K gwei which was causing composability friction for protocols like Kyber where the tokens might transfer to 3 different addresses in an exchange causing an additional 300K overhead in gas.
\nIt was always intedended to replace the Depot with an ERC20 version but the bZx attack brought this forward sooner than planned.
