## Summary

Authors: @Mike_B, @Xeonus

In this proposal, we aim to formalize the launch requirements for CoWAMM’s for Balancer. This includes the following:

- Transfer $250k in BAL for discretionary incentives
- Transfer $250k in BAL + $250k in WETH to seed the BAL/WETH CoWAMM pool for a total of $500k
- Transfer $125k in USDC and $125k in WETH to seed Balancer DAO’s portion of the USDC/WETH pool for a total of $250k

For a total of

**$500k in BAL** , **$125k USDC** , and **$375k in WETH**

## Motivation

This proposal serves to formalise the execution of the approved obligations outlined in [BIP-628](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-628-balancer-cow-protocol-strategic-partnership-launching-cowamm-pools/5813) as at the time of BIP-628’s writing, the smart contracts had yet to be finalized. The execution only includes the provisioning of POL and not any token swap agreements so far.

## Execution Specification

For the sake of simplicity and not having to specify join parameters (which can vary depending on asset pricing), the entirety of these funds will be sent to the LM multisig at 0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860

Price of BAL: $2.34  
Price of WETH: $3171

| | Amount ($) | BAL | USDC | WETH |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| BAL Incentives | $250,000.00 | 106837.61 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
| USDC/WETH Pool | $250,000.00 | 0.00 | 125000.00 | 39.42 |
| BAL/WETH Pool | $500,000.00 | 106837.61 | 0.00 | 78.84 |

This comes to a total of

**125,000 USDC**  
**213675.21 BAL**  
**118.26 WETH**

After which, the appropriate funds will be added to the corresponding CoWAMM pool after which the LP tokens will be transferred back to the DAO multisig.

This proposal will fulfill all our obligations outlined by BIP-628.

## Technical Specification

The DAO multisig `0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f` will interact with USDC at `0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48` by writing transfer, passing `0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` as recipient and the amount 125000 as `125000000000`.  
The DAO multisig `0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f` will interact with BAL at `0xba100000625a3754423978a60c9317c58a424e3D` by writing transfer, passing `0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` as recipient and the amount 213675.21 as 213675210000000000000000.  
Finally, the DAO multisig `0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f` will interact with WETH at `0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2` by writing transfer, passing `0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` as dst and the amount 118.26 as 181260000000000000000 at wad.

The Maxis successfully seeded all requested POL positions within funding limits of the proposal. Given the price volatility of assets upon writing of this BIP and execution, the USDC:WETH POL and BAL:WETH POL targets were not fully met. As of the writing of this post the positions currently have the following net value:

- BAL:WETH CoWAMM POL1: $437,815
- BAL:WETH CowAMM POL2: $104,980
- USDC:WETH CoWAMM POL: $209,700

The USDC:WETH POL specifically was seeded so that the 39.42 WETH limit was not exceeded as specified by the proposal.

After successfully seeding these positions, the Maxis calculated the deltas of all incoming transactions and returned the BPTs and remaining WETH, BAL and USDC amounts to the DAO multi-sig.

| Currency | Amount |
| --- | --- |
| USDC | 23222.44559 |
| BAL | 1978.018654 |
| WETH | 3.745001 |

the BAL/WETH POL took place a bit before the rest, and the LP tokens along with leftover BAL from that budget based on changes in price, were sent back in this tx:

You should pretty easily be able to understand most of the transactions on the LM multisig [on Onchain Den](https://app.onchainden.com/safes/eth:0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860).

While we don’t want to spend our whole life explaining our operations, the goal is 100% transparency. Happy to answer some questions from time to time.

I’m probably being shortsighted at some point; it seems that POL lost about 100k USD in returned assets over a period of 15 days; was this by way of liquidity mining?

It was due to decrease in token prices I think. You’d have to share more of your accounting for me to see more details. I think if you go through the transactions you will find that for each POL deposit, whatever tokens were available to make whatever entry was possible at a good/market price and then everything was sent back.

It’s hard to account for volatile tokens in USD over a period of time and have things add up.

Maybe this PR, originally linked by Xeonus, helps. There’s a lot of verification/cross-checking everything going on in the comments there.

We specifically didn’t want to exceed the specified WETH limits as outlined in the proposal and didn’t have much float to work with. Also as @Tritium mentioned there was quite some price volatility happening between posting of the proposal and its execution. Note that we could only work with the specified token set and only proportional joins are possible with CoWAMM pools so we adhere to the proposal specifications.

All transactions and accounting can be verified by the transaction logs, on-chain and with GitHub artifacts that were provided above.

Current POL value as of writing of this post:

- BAL:WETH CoWAMM POL 1: $378,950
- BAL:WETH CoWAMm POL 2: $ 91,177
- USDC:WETH CoWAMM POL: $196,788

Deltas compared to targets:  
USDC:WETH: $53,212  
BAL:WETH: $29,823

As you can see net value already changed again significantly since I posted numbers 10d ago where the deltas were much smaller:

Like I said, I may be missing some info, but I haven’t been able to find out if there is anything missing.  
Really appreciate the answers @Xeonus @Tritium

The conclusion of this post is that POL lost USD 97.4k in assets due to this marketing strategy; I have no value judgment on whether the cost is fair or not; I just bring the data.

The status of the positions is current  
Duration of the strategy until return: 15 days  
Duration of the strategy until this analysis: 27 days

Appreciate the time you are taking to challenge these transactions @Jadmat 🙂

Actually, I found a small error in our data presentation here, the accounting overall checks out though. The error was the BAL:WETH POL2 value!

TLDR:

- **BAL:WETH** value that was deposited in total was only **$417,245**
- **BAL:USDC** value at deposit was **$204,020**

I impersonated the LM multisig `0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` to show the effective deposits via UI

1. BAL:WETH deposits:

I also compiled a fresh breakdown of the $value at deposit:

| Date | Position | USDC amount | USDC price | BAL amount | BAL price | WETH amount | WETH price | $ value at deposit |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

Given these transactions, we have a delta as we can only do proportional joins on those CoWAMM pools which is:

| | USDC | BAL | WETH |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Delta sent back to DAO | 23472.45 | 1043.961 | 1.935001 |

This accounts for a total value of $31,017

As we bundled the dust amounts from the [[BIP-669] Provide 80BAL-20WETH:WETH POL on [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-669-provide-80bal-20weth-weth-pol-on-ethereum/5894) too you see bigger amounts in the [final tx hash](https://etherscan.io/tx/0xe6be910a66cd0f541468625ff22121ab8c892b62af19f22334729b9687a0d86d)

So given these numbers we actually

- seeded $128,735 less than intended in the proposal given price volatility
- of which were $31,017 to the DAO from the resulting “dust”

All in all these calculations should explain the delta you saw.

Thank you for your reply @Xeonus

I find it more accurate not to include the prices in the calculation, only for the interpretation of the final result.

Possibly the difference between the 2 values you present here is my result, since they coincide.

I do a breakdown between assets sent - assets received, only the price factor is included at the end, so the loss is closer to an asset loss than a market decline.

Do you know what stage this campaign is at? In previous messages I asked if an LM campaign was included, could the losses possibly come from there?

These are the stats of the concluded incentive campaign

We have not decided yet how to proceed with the remaining funds. We will coordinate with CoW DAO to design and execute on that the most efficient way possible when the time is right 🙂

It says “Remaining 0”, I haven’t found out how much BAL is left from this campaign.

Netting the BAL distributed from

would be like this:  
Changes in POL according to the strategy, excluding the LM campaign:  
-3540.78 USD  
-60569.11 BAL (approx.)  
+27.93 ETH

I don’t know how much BAL is still in CoW’s possession, but this may be an important part of the difference between sent/returned assets that we see.

A look, perhaps simplistic, seems to show a resulting difference on POL corresponding to more than 12% of the value equivalent to the assets sent, for a period of only 15 days; being that Cow helps to mitigate the LVR. Is this so?

I appreciate this exchange with you @Xeonus

We emitted 26,984.13 BAL to the target gauges you see in the screenshot.

The remaining BAL for incentives is still in Balancer DAOs posession in the Omnichain safe managed by us. You can verify the amounts [here](https://etherscan.io/address/0x9ff471f9f98f42e5151c7855fd1b5aa906b1af7e). The table further above shows these transfers in the logs.

BAL still reserved for incentives: 70,858.77 BAL

In terms of portocol-owned liquidity (POL), balances constantly change. There is some IL that can accrue but overall LRV should mitigate that. We are working on showing that on the UI soon.
