**Summary:**

> We request adding sFRAX/FRAX pool on Arbitrum to BAL gauge as an uncapped core pool

**Protocol Description:**

> FRAX is a decentralized stablecoin by Frax Finance, and [sFRAX](https://docs.frax.finance/frax-v3/sfrax) is a staked interest-bearing version of FRAX stablecoin.

**Motivation:**

> The sFRAX-FRAX pool on Arbitrum is a key strategic tool in developing the Frax Finance ecosystem and enhancing the liquidity of both FRAX and sFRAX. By establishing this pool, Balancer has the potential to become a central hub for Frax asset liquidity on Arbitrum. Implementing the BAL gauge and core pool status will significantly facilitate this process, furthering our shared goals in the DeFi space.

**Specifications:**

1. **Governance:** FRAX governance forum can be seen [here](https://gov.frax.finance/) and snapshot [here](https://snapshot.org/#/frax.eth).
2. **Oracles:** Rate provider contract for [FRAX](https://arbiscan.io/address/0x0809E3d38d1B4214958faf06D8b1B1a2b73f2ab8) and for [sFRAX](https://arbiscan.io/address/0x03e4054B11ad01915257bE53Af03A32Abf7837b9).
3. **Audits:** See [here](https://docs.frax.finance/other/audits)
4. **Centralization vectors:** see [here](https://docs.frax.finance/frax-v3/sfrax).
5. **Market History:** See [here](https://docs.frax.finance/frax-ether/frxeth-and-sfrxeth)
6. **Value:** Balancer will earn the protocol fee on interest-bearing sFRAX in the pool, and so will LPs.

**Specification:**

The Balancer Maxi LM Multisig eth:`0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` will interact with the GaugeAdderv4 at `0x5DbAd78818D4c8958EfF2d5b95b28385A22113Cd` and call the addGauge function with the following arguments:  
gauge(address):`0x2aBd1863C84CdfEA63581D5b4BAb89B690B39DdF`  
gaugeType(string): `Arbitrum`

Additionally, this pool is requesting `core pool` status as per BIP-457
