Proposal: [BIP-523] Enable LUMIN/rETH Gauge with 2% emissions cap [Arbitrum]
Vote: Yes.
Reasoning: The protocol will incentivise voting on this gauge on Hidden Hand as it is the primary liquidity source for LUMIN.
Proposal: [BIP-524] Seed BAL Liquidity on Optimism
Vote: Yes.
Reasoning: It is a good idea to boost BAL liquidity on Optimism, making it easier for users to swap the token.
Proposal: [BIP-525] Business Development Funding Proposal Q1-2024 and Retroactive Q4-2023 Funding

Proposal: [BIP-537] Replace GGP Incentives On Avax
Vote: Yes.
**Reasoning:**This proposal seeks funds to correct a configuration error and distribute the rewards over the agreed period.
Proposal: [BIP-538] Enable ezETH/WETH Gauge [Ethereum]
