Moving the reserve to a side chain and lower the cost of interacting with it is I think the best choice.
Bear market prices for buying gooddollar was 15$. Bull market could go well over 40$'s. This is an amount not benefitting the protocol in any way as it goes to Ethereum stakers. Restarting it on Celo could have the potential and open doors for more efforts and services around getting new money in the reserve which before always ended up looking like quite an expensive operation.
Just throwing out a train of thought, but wouldn’t this experiment of moving the reserve not also create an opportunity to see how segmented reserves could work, with the potential of opening up reserves on other side chains like polygon, Binance chain, ?near? etc?
