Governance updates

This week, Balancer’s Snapshot has some activity with three proposals up for voting. Take a moment to read through them

This is a proposal to enable one uncapped Balancer gauge for a sUSDe/GYD E-CLP on Ethereum.

We propose to only enable protocol fees of 50% once rewards start. The entire protocol fees will accrue to Balancer, while Gyroscope will not take any cut at this point.

This is a proposal to enable one uncapped Balancer gauge on Arbitrum for an aGHO/USDe E-CLP.

Elixir proposes to add a veBAL gauge for the sdeUSD / deUSD ECLP pool on Ethereum.

Also, take a moment to check out the Balancer forum here. We’ve got updates on the Aura Delegate Thread and the Karpatkey Delegate Thread as well.

Be careful what URLs you visit, Dubstar has some news!

@dubstard: "Be careful what URLs you visit, avoid imitation URLs such as:"

  • Do not open any links sent to you in DMs from any one pretending to be a “mod”, “admin” “staff member” and etc.
  • Do not message anybody offering help if you DMs them first, those are scammers.
  • Remember, Balancer operates primarily under the following domain: balancer.fi
  • Never share private keys, seed phrases with anyone.
  • Remember, there is NO AIRDROP!
  • There is no such thing as “Node RPC fix”, “Encrypt Wallet”, “Node Sync”, “Wallet Synchronization”, “Rectification”, “Remediation”, “Fee Reduction”, “NFT sync”, “Synchronize wallet” and so on. All those are fake sites and imaginary “tech” sounding reasons to bait users to visit the bogus sites.
  • Avoid using your main wallet for participating in airdrops, especially if they are promising very high awards. Do not sign BPT (Balancer Pool Token) approvals willy-nilly. Sign only if you know what you are doing. Do not sign approval, transfer, and permit transactions willy-nilly. Always double-check everything.
  • Balancer has a flourishing ecosystem. You’re welcome to contribute to it whether you’re a dev, a community person, or a graphic designer! We strive toward onboarding every new member in a smooth and personalized way.
