### PR with Payload

[https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/468](https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/468)

#### Summary

The purpose of this proposal is to kill four\* gauges which are currently not being utilized due to dead ends with partnership initiatives. The four\* pools are the TWAMM rETH/wstETH on Mainnet, OHM/LUSD on Mainnet, cbETH/wstETH on Mainnet\*, and ACID/WETH on Arbitrum. These gauges have been active for several weeks and have received little to no votes. Killing these gauges keep our UI and system cleaner overall.

#### Motivation

The TWAMM rETH/wstETH gauge is proposed to be killed at the request of the Cron Finance team. The other 3\* gauges serve no purpose to veBAL holders or Balancer users based on utilization. Removing them is a house cleaning in terms of UX and safety.

#### Specification:

The DAO Multisig `0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f` will interact with the AuthorizerAdaptorEntrypoint at `0xf5dECDB1f3d1ee384908Fbe16D2F0348AE43a9eA` and call performAction using `0xab8f0945` for the `data(bytes)` argument and the “Root Gauge Address” list for each pool below will be used for the `target(address)` argument.

@ZenDragon - for the DFX/ETH gauge, we’ve been planning a migration over to the Balancer gauge in the upcoming weeks. Could we keep that gauge active?

Removed DFX/ETH gauge as requested from the kill specs. Thanks for choosing Balancer as your primary liquidity hub again 🙂
