[BIP-733] Enable ynETH/wETH Gauge [Ethereum]

BAL Gauges
1

Summary

This proposal seeks to establish a new gauge for the ynETH/wETH pool, enabling it to receive BAL emissions. The ynETH/wETH pool is designed to offer deep liquidity for YieldNest’s native restaking token, ynETH, paired with wETH.

Rationale

The YieldNest ynETH/wETH pool aligns well with Balancer’s objectives to support innovative DeFi protocols and provide liquidity for restaking products. ynETH is built from the ground up, and fueled by Ethereum staking and EigenLayer restaking yields. It is designed for sophisticated, risk-adjusted returns. Establishing a gauge for this pool will:

  1. Enhance Liquidity: Attract substantial liquidity for ynETH, ensuring low slippage for trades
  2. Drive Volume: Generate consistent swap volume by providing a go-to liquidity venue for ynETH
  3. Benefit Balancer Treasury: A portion of the pool fees will be directed to the Balancer treasury, in line with protocol revenue-sharing standards.

Key Details of the ynETH/wETH Pool

  • Token Pair: ynETH / wETH
  • Gauge Address: 0xf2c203a264dc05942CFbAeA16f712b2106c2fb02
  • Pool Address: 0x398901C7a1a05a93499A40F88fca6381De912de8
  • Deployment Chain: Ethereum Mainnet
  • Relative Weight Cap: 100% uncapped gauge (1000000000000000000)

Request for Support
