**Abstract**

This proposal seeks to garner community support to whitelist the Beethoven X Gnosis Safe multisig on Ethereum to vote-lock B-80BAL-20WETH owned by the Beethoven X community into veBAL to participate in governance for the Balancer DAO and gauge voting, specifically for pools on Optimism.

**Motivation**

Beethoven X is the first official friendly fork built on Balancer V2 that is native to the Fantom network. Beethoven recently partnered with Balancer to [launch on Optimism](https://snapshot.org/#/balancer.eth/proposal/0xd281d8cad43c97814b2496270498c4396b16c0f2ce522d5bc554aae9fed4e4d7). The Beethoven X community [has passed a proposal](https://snapshot.org/#/beets.eth/proposal/0x3d6e0373f0f1c041a82e6108a01aee2e00a21be43667259126b70e5fd2a5f93a) to increase the exposure to Balancer via: the market purchase of $25,000 worth of B-80BAL-20WETH to lock as veBAL; the direction of a portion of Beethoven’s protocol fees on a monthly basis towards the purchase of B-80BAL-20WETH to lock as veBAL; and the commitment to bridge any farmed BAL tokens on Optimism to Ethereum to purchase B-80BAL-20WETH to lock as veBAL.

**Risks**

No significant risks have been identified with this proposal.

**Specification**

Whitelist the BeethovenX Gnosis Safe multisig, 0xea06e1b4259730724885a39CE3ca670eFB020E26, to interact with the veBAL contract.
