Aura Delegate Thread

[BIP-216] Add permissions for Batch Relayer V5 (second attempt)

Vote: Yes

Rationale: This is a necessary upgrade.

[BIP-217] Enable RDNT/wETH 80/20 Gauge [Arbitrum]

Vote: Yes

Rationale: Radiant has a lot of potential to continue doing great things and the Aura delegate council are aware of the ongoing plans with Radiant for Aura’s expansion to Arbitrum.

[BIP-218] Enable bb-s-USD Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: Yes

Rationale: The Aura Delegate Council are aware of the work done by Sturdy Finance and their activities regarding a Balancer grant. Full support for this boosted stable coin pool.

[BIP-219] Enable bb-t-USD Gauge [Polygon]

Vote: Abstain

Rationale: The Aura Delegate Council is not supportive of this pool and would prefer to see Tetu bring more value to the Balancer ecosystem rather than simply adding new gauges. An example might be the inclusion of another protocol who was willing to use this as a pairing. More broadly however, the Aura Delegate council acknowledges opposing such requests might not be in the best interests of the Balancer ecosystem and notes that Tetu is a competitor to Aura Finance. As such, the delegates have decided to abstain rather than actively oppose this request.

[BIP-220] Enable bb-ma2-USD Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: Abstain

Rationale: The Aura Delegate Council have decided to abstain on this request for a pool from Morpho. Whilst the pool design appears to look good, the Aura Delegates simply do not have sufficient knowledge of Morpho as a protocol to lend direct support. To that end, the council did not decide to actively oppose this request but cannot support it at this time.

[BIP-221] Set Protocol Fee Percentage to 50% on Gnosis Chain

Vote: Yes

Rationale: The Aura delegate council were supportive of the addition of this fee structure being added to the Gnosis chain. This is a great step in the right direction for activities on other chains and supports the revenue flow for Balancer DAO.
