## Summary

Enable Aave Boosted GHO/USR and GHO/EURC Gauges on Balancer v3 Base deployment.

These pools are to be considered “core pools” with protocol fees earned being partially allocated towards Quests on Paladin to attract token emission yield.

## Motivation

This publication proposes introduce two new poools and gauge mechanisms to enhance liquidity efficiency and yield opportunities on the Base network.

USDC and EURC are both deployed on Aave v3 with USR not yet listed on Aave. The Resolve team is expected to provide points, with Pendle and Spectra anticipated to build yield markets on top of the aBasGHO/USR liquidity pool.

- [GHO](https://app.aave.com/reserve-overview/?underlyingAsset=0x6bb7a212910682dcfdbd5bcbb3e28fb4e8da10ee&marketName=proto_base_v3)
- [EURC](https://app.aave.com/reserve-overview/?underlyingAsset=0x60a3e35cc302bfa44cb288bc5a4f316fdb1adb42&marketName=proto_base_v3)
- [USR](https://basescan.org/token/0x35e5db674d8e93a03d814fa0ada70731efe8a4b9)

The following Balancer v3 pools and gauges are to be created:

| Network | Pool Type | Constituents |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Base | Boosted | aBasGHO / USR |
| Base | Boosted | aBasGHO / aBasEURC |

You can find detailed information about all these assets in the [rate provider registry](https://github.com/balancer/code-review/blob/main/rate-providers/registry.json), which serves as a comprehensive source for all relevant details required for the review.

## Specification

### Enable Gauges

The Balancer Maxi LM Multisig `0xc38c5f97B34E175FFd35407fc91a937300E33860` will interact with the `GaugeAdderv4` at `0x5DbAd78818D4c8958EfF2d5b95b28385A22113Cd` and call the addGauge function with the following arguments based on the table above:

#### Boosted aBasGHO/aBasEUR

Edit:

1. Adding pool and gauge addresses with links to be specification section
2. Follow up edit for replacing the EURC pool with a new pool + gauge due to using a Forex rate provider. Rate provider from Chainlink must be Crypto market to have 365-24 hour coverage.
