@manawenuz thanks a lot for bringing this to the community’s attention.

To make a better assessment of the situation, here are the current Shezmu gauge vote specs and pools that receive BAL rewards

- [[BIP-582] Enable shezUSD/sDAI Gauge w 2% cap [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-582-enable-shezusd-sdai-gauge-w-2-cap-ethereum/5684)
- [[BIP-662] Enable Gauge for ShezETH/wstETH [Ethereum]](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-662-enable-gauge-for-shezeth-wsteth-ethereum/5872)

| Network | Pool | TVL ($) | Daily BAL rewards |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Ethereum | shezUSD:sDAI | 1.05mln | 113.18 |
| Ethereum | shezETH:wstETH | 786k | 104.53 |

What is worth noting is that both pools have very low native token (shezUSD and shezETH) liquidity.

As a general reminder, pools are marked as core pools if 50% of their assets are yield-bearing and exceed $100k in TVL of which both pools are eligible to. The [core pool list](https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/bal_addresses/blob/4cebcb436926c7c0098563f7b562d40f13494b95/outputs/core_pools.json#L2) is generated weekly automatically through the Maxis operations tooling.

@Shezmu could you provide some context to the concerns raised by @manawenuz ?
