On behalf of the Balancer community, I’d like to propose the following modifications to the token whitelist used for BAL governance token distribution. All new tokens will be placed at `cap1` ($1M) as described in the [updated whitelist proposal](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/proposal-to-update-the-whitelist-process/217). At any time, community members may propose on the forum to increase a token’s cap to the next tier.

As a reminder, these whitelist proposals are pre-approved on objective technical criteria, so they are not subject to community vote. To suggest a token for inclusion in one of these proposals, please use the #token-requests channel in the [Balancer Discord](https://discord.gg/ARJWaeF). Requested tokens will be vetted in a single batch each Friday, to take effect the following Monday. The official instructions and listing criteria can be found [here](https://docs.balancer.finance/core-concepts/bal-liquidity-mining/exchange-and-reward-listing).

For reference, the active whitelist can be found [here](https://github.com/balancer-labs/assets/blob/master/lists/eligible.json). Note that the additions suggested within this proposal are unlikely to appear on the official list until a few days after publication. Also see the [original motivation](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/proposing-the-token-whitelist-for-bal-distribution) for creating the whitelist.

# Proposed Modifications

I would like to propose adding the following new tokens to the whitelist:

```
    ADD BUILD	0x6e36556B3ee5Aa28Def2a8EC3DAe30eC2B208739
    ADD CAP 0x43044f861ec040DB59A7e324c40507adDb673142
    ADD GLM 0x7DD9c5Cba05E151C895FDe1CF355C9A1D5DA6429
    ADD NCT 0x8A9c4dfe8b9D8962B31e4e16F8321C44d48e246E
    ADD RAZOR	0x50DE6856358Cc35f3A9a57eAAA34BD4cB707d2cd

```

The proposed changes will go into effect at 00:00 UTC on Monday, February 8. Pools containing newly whitelisted tokens will begin to accrue BAL beginning at 00:00 UTC on Monday; but they may not appear on the Balancer pools UI with symbol/logo until a few days later. Furthermore, whitelisted tokens will _not_ be added to the Balancer exchange UI; the core team adds tokens to the official exchange UI at their own discretion and considers a variety of factors. Tokens can always be traded using contract addresses in place of symbols, and anyone is free to fork the open source exchange UI to add more symbols.

# Resulting Soft/Hard Pegs

The following price pegs will be added to the BAL mining scripts in response to the whitelist changes. At time of writing, soft pegs receive a `wrapFactor` of 0.2 and hard pegs receive a `wrapFactor` of 0.1. For reference, please see the [`wrapFactor` proposal](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/modifying-wrapfactor-applying-a-0-7-factor-to-soft-pegged-pairs/108).

There are no new price pegs introduced this week.

# Omissions

No requested tokens were omitted this week.
