[BIP-247] Enable wstETH/bb-a-wETH Gauge [Polygon]

Summary:

This pool uses the ComposableStablePoolFactory-v3 1 which addresses the reentrancy vulnerability disclosed during February 2023. This gauge is uncapped, and would enter as a “core pool” under BIP-19. This means 65% of 50% of yield generated by this pool is to be used for bribing for votes on it via Hidden Hand. The remaining 35% goes to Balancer DAO as revenue.

The pool wstETH/bb-a-wETH is to replace the wstETH/wETH pool on Polygon.

The current wstETH/wETH contains $4,205,133 in TVL at the time of writing and is the largest wETH pool on Balancer’s Polygon deployment.

Protocol Description:

This pool utilises wstETH and linear pool bb-a-wETH which deposits wETH into Aave v3 wETH reserve. The linear pool utilises a wrapper developed by Aave Companies.

Motivation:

With the introduction of wstETH to Aave v3, the author expects users to deploy yield maximising strategies utilising the wstETH/wETH loop. This is expected to generate borrowing demand for wETH and deposit APR for those that deposit wETH into Aave v3.

Incorporating the bb-a-wETH will lead to additional revenue to Balancer DAO and also additional incentives flowing through to Hidden Hand which veBAL holders can benefit from.

  3. Value: Balancer will earn the protocol fee on wstETH yield and deposit yield generated by Aave v3 on Polygon via bb-a-wETH.
