v3 is coming!

Finally, the word it out and we can talk about v3! Maxis have been actively collaborating on the scope and vision for the next iteration of Balancer. Our onsite in Milan was a great opportunity to get everyone together and officially kickstart v3 work. We are happy to be alongside the great minds pushing the Balancer protocol forward!

However, we are fully committed to delivering on all levels. Balancer v2 is still a beast! With a flourishing ecosystem, Maxis engage in day to day activities and keep the engines running and here are the main highlights in November.

First: our vlAura proposal went through, and we are most excited about this novel usage of governance power to the Maxis. Our goal is to use this allocation for strategic and core liquidity pools, to bootstrap Balancer growth in a more dynamic fashion, making bizdev decisions. We will soon present a governance proposal with our strategy.

The Arbitrum STIP is live and “super super charged”. We have recently changed the weekly allocation from 171,429 to 205,714.8 ARB per epoch (2 weeks) towards incentived pools to meet the Feb 15th deadline, monitoring and reporting to the Arbitrum DAO here. We can see a flow of projects looking more into Arb, with an uptick in TVL/volume we will continue monitoring (considering bula market hype). Here’s a cool dashboard! Special note to the exciting work with Balancer and Plutus, amplifying the veRDNT housed at Balancer.

On the core pool metrics, we have been monitoring fees and revenue growth. November was a good month, and we seem to be getting back to pre-hack numbers for voting incentives and DAO income. You can now check a beta version of the newly added Reports and Core Pools sections on Defilytica.

Here are the bullet point updates for November. For reference, please review [BIP-433] which funded the Balancer Maxis for Q4/2023, and make sure to check Maxi’s Notion and GitHub with continued additions being made.
