# Summary

The R stablecoin has recently experienced an [exploit](https://twitter.com/raft_fi/status/1723317254480425028) where R was continuously minted and exchanged across liquidity sources. The exploiter still has excess R tokens, which can be swapped for liquidity, making it irresponsible to incentivize liquidity for the token. R pools were not included in the most recent core pool bribe. Due to the instability of the token, and Raft’s intention to sunset the current version of the protocol, it is not necessary to incentivize liquidity for these pools any further.

# Motivation

Due to Raft sunsetting the current version of the protocol the R token should no longer be supported by BAL emissions.

# Specifications

The DAO Multisig `0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f` will interact with the AuthorizerAdaptorEntrypoint at `0xf5dECDB1f3d1ee384908Fbe16D2F0348AE43a9eA` and call performAction using `0xab8f0945` for the `data(bytes)` argument and use each gauge address as the `target(address)`

R/DAI - `0x6f3b31296fd2457eba6dca3bed65ec79e06c1295`

R/sDAI - `0x3b861b81b086ef0cffa0b00cd2ddb3d545ec9b98`

R/wstETH - `0x6e7b9a1746a7ed4b23edff0975b726e5aa673e21`

Core pool status has already been removed for these pools, per discussion between the Maxis and the Raft team.
