My proposed execution for the new instance:

1. end grain diistributions in the old instance
2. deactivate everyone & set USDC as the integration currency in the ledger in the new instance
3. use this bot to enable self-serve activation and payout address setting [GitHub - blueridger/sc-address-bot](https://github.com/blueridger/sc-address-bot)
4. use the CSV integration for USDC payouts (and then the merkle integration when its ready).

Implications:

- No one will continue to receive grain.
- No one will receive USDC unless they re-opt-in via the bot.
- People who opt-in via the bot will receive USDC automatically (until the merkle integration is complete, then there will be a redeem step)
