Aura Delegate Thread

[BIP-303] Grant Polygon zkEVM Permissions

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: Initial setup for the Balancer infrastructure to run in the network.

[BIP-304] Enable DFX/ETH Gauge with 2% emissions cap [Arbitrum]

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: DFX is an FX AMM on arbitrum. This pool will be the primary source of liquidity for the DFX token on Arbitrum.

[BIP-305] Enable R/wstETH and R/DAI gauges [Ethereum]

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: “R” is a stablecoin minted using stETH as collateral, and these pools will be the main liquidity pools for the protocol, bringing a healthy trading volume.

[BIP-306] Proposal to deploy Balancer on Scroll

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: Scroll is a project with good traction, Aave is going there (already deployed on testnet). Balancer was requested by other protocols (LST), and it is good to be ready to move there when the mainnet launches ( August).

[BIP-307] Enable rETH/sETH Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This gauge is uncapped, and would enter as a “core pool.” It is a pool from Sturdy Finance, a protocol that provides leverage accepting BPT as collateral. It can attract more trading volume

[BIP-308] Enable Layer Zero Cross chain Boosts

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This proposal is to enable permissions for the Layer Zero system to function properly.

[BIP-309] Enable L2 Gauge Checkpointer

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This proposal enables the deployment of a contract that automates that checkpoint process for bridging BAL to L2s where Balancer is present.

[BIP-310] Enable Gauge Adder v4

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This proposal aims to add a contract that helps to prevent a wrong configuration on the GaugeController.

[BIP-311] Enable ankrETH/wstETH Gauge on Ethereum

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This is a gauge migration from the ankrETH/wETH pool to one with two LSTs. It will bring more yield for LPs.

[BIP-312] Set Escrow Re-mapper Manager for Aura

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This is an important step to enable Aura to support the growth of the Balancer ecosystem in other chains as it successfully does in ETH Mainnet.

[BIP-313] Enable Gnosis Gauges

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: These 3 gauges will help to incentivize liquidity in Gnosis Chain, where Balancer is already positioned. It makes sense to push adoption further with well-known protocols (CoWSwap, Angle, Gnosis, etc).

[BIP-314] - Funding Proposal For Beethoven X DAO - Marketing

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: The work provided so far has good quality, the metrics seem sound, and the strategy is aligned with best practices in other protocols. The ask (30k/month) is reasonable.

[BIP-315] Add Single Recipient Gauge to Checkpointer

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: The L2 gauge checkpointer will act as an automation for the distribution of BAL to single recipient gauges like veLIT and veUSH.

[BIP-316] Replace veBAL Gauge

Vote: Yes.

Rationale: This will introduce a change (remove a step) in depositing tokens directly to the fee distributor, making it fully automated.
