> \- enable GYD/aUSDC and GYD/aUSDT gauges on Arbitrum
> \- vetted in rate providers …as used in other rehype pools
> \- \[Proposal\](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-642-enable-gyd-ausdc-and-gyd-ausdt-rehype-gauges-arbitrum/5830)

### Summary

This is a proposal to enable two uncapped Balancer gauges for (1) GYD/aUSDC and (2) GYD/aUSDT Rehype Pools on Arbitrum.

Since Gyroscope is managing these pools instead of the Balancer DAO we propose to start with a protocol fee of 50%, but further explore decreasing the protocol fee to 30%. The protocol fee shall kick in as soon as rewards start. With a lower protocol fee LP yield can be sustainably increased, helping to bootstrap the specified Rehype Pools.

### Protocol description

- stataArbUSDT (or in short, aUSDT) is the wrapped, static version of the rebasing Aave lending deposit token for aUSDT on Arbitrum. - [Aave](https://github.com/bgd-labs/static-a-token-v3)
- stataArbUSDCn (or in short, aUSDC) is the wrapped, static version of the rebasing Aave lending deposit token for aUSDC on Arbitrum. - [Aave](https://github.com/bgd-labs/static-a-token-v3)
- GYD is a USD denominated stablecoin, issued by the [Gyroscope protocol](https://gyro.finance/)

### Motivation

Gyroscope wants to obtain the option to participate in voting markets for two previously deployed pools.

* * *

### Specifications

#### Governance

The Gyroscope Protocol will be governed by a DAO and relevant stakeholder with the full launch on Ethereum. For now, the FTL Labs multi-sig can pause the pool, change the swap fee and set the protocol fee. As a custom pool by Gyroscope, the E-CLP will be controlled by Gyroscope governance upon its launch.

#### Oracles

- aUSDC rate provider on Arbitrum: [0x87cD462A781c0ca843EAB131Bf368328848bB6fD](https://arbiscan.io/address/0x87cD462A781c0ca843EAB131Bf368328848bB6fD)
- aUSDT rate provider on Arbitrum: [0x48942b49b5bb6f3e1d43c204a3f40a4c5f696ef6](https://arbiscan.io/address/0x48942b49b5bb6f3e1d43c204a3f40a4c5f696ef6)
- GYD rate provider on Arbitrum: 0x00

#### Audits

Audit reports by Nethermind, Trail of Bits, and Runtime Verification can be accessed here (the E-CLP is called the “CEMM” in these reports). In addition, the E-CLP code has been live in production on Polygon since November 2022.

#### Centralization vectors

No centralization vectors. The FTL Labs team’s multi-sig can - currently - pause the pool, change the swap fee and set the protocol fee.

#### Market History

- The Gyroscope Protocol is live on Ethereum since EOY23, with E-CLPs on several other chains. Details available [here](https://dune.com/gyro_finance/gyroscope-e-clps).
- The live [GYD/aUSDC pool](https://app.balancer.fi/#/arbitrum/pool/0x6e822c64c00393b2078f2a5bb75c575ab505b55c000200000000000000000548)
- The live [GYD/aUSDT pool](https://app.balancer.fi/#/arbitrum/pool/0x7272163a931dac5bbe1cb5fefaf959bb65f7346f000200000000000000000549)

## Value

As per “Motivation”.

The Maxis will advise Gyro in how to best leverage the fee setting configuration as this has a direct impact on STIP and therefore ARB distributions based on how many fees are collected for a given epoch.
