# TL;DR

As a result of [BIP-252](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-252-timeless-50k-bal-grant-application-ve8020-program/4453), there is still a grant open in this custom build `VeBalGrant` contract: [Aura Finance: veBalGrant | Address: 0x89f67f30...caBb416f6 | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/address/0x89f67f3054bFD662971854190Dbc18dcaBb416f6). The unlock time has since then passed (`2025-02-13T00:00:00Z`). Balancer DAO contributed 50k BAL, Timeless contributed ~42 WETH.

The DAO multisig can return funds to both sides by atomically calling:

- `setActive(false)`
- `release()`
- `redeem(minBal, minWeth)`
- `withdrawBalances()`
