# Voting Actions - October 6th - 10th Proposal: [**[BIP-879] Deploy Balancer v3 on X Layer - OKX chain**](https://snapshot.box/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x7e464a201b7f7baa50fc94b2922d212cff4dc389e898c7cdf5165cd5b9c4c22a) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: We support deploying Balancer v3 on X Layer as a strategic, low-risk expansion that positions the protocol early in a promising new ecosystem. With Aave confirmed as a launch partner and OKX driving user and liquidity growth, Balancer’s presence from day one can secure its role as the core liquidity layer for DeFi and payments on X Layer. The phased approach with measurable checkpoints ensures accountability — we scale only if the deployment meets clear TVL, utilization, and revenue milestones. This mitigates risk while keeping the DAO flexible to adapt or pause if conditions change. Importantly, this proposal requires **no direct treasury spend** , leverages audited contracts, and aligns with our broader multi-chain strategy of anchoring where Aave and other key partners expand. Overall, it’s a prudent, opportunity-driven move that balances growth potential with strong operational safeguards. ---

# Voting Actions - October 27th - 31st Proposal: [**[BIP-882] Transitioning Onchain Operations of the Balancer DAO to Balancer Onchain Limited**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x80fcadc8aa59dc014fffde73e40cd2eff6a11477dd73b81da22790c972cbf509) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: The reasoning can be found [here](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/bip-882-transitioning-onchain-operations-of-the-balancer-dao-to-balancer-onchain-limited/6859/2). * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-883] Emergency Safe Governance Improvements Q4 2025**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xf3131117324880dc7a28f843b73d4eb8d8ec46a27f2068991ccbce9bd6a16a10) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: From a governance and operational risk perspective, both changes are aligned with good practice. - The adjustment from 4/7 to 3/7 improves the execution reliability of emergency actions without eroding checks and balances, as a majority of independent entities is still required. - The removal of `disableQueryPermanently()` removes an unnecessary and high-impact permission, reducing the governance blast radius in the event of key compromise. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-884] Wire Up BAL Token on Plasma Chain**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x5e7df1fb4e1bbfaa553724ed9e87a3dec35f2b1fb91a17ab0614be6b86a2915e) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: Plasma hit the required checkpoints and has demonstrated real traction. The proposal enables the cross-chain comms needed for veBAL + BAL emissions on Plasma, unlocking the next layer of incentives and governance integration for that deployment. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-885] Permissions Update Request #7**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x38db2412adce23237ff462a22faa2be0618a8b446937d56f33f2438edf83896f) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: We support this proposal as it grants the necessary permissions to handle new assets and delegate voting power to Balancer’s platform at Polygon. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-886] Enable Gauge for Nerite Surge eeUSDC-yUSND Stable Pool with 2% Cap on Arbitrum**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x038e99f1165bdef42ed93364bef55d3ed69b1ec62a4692a799d1083116ea567b) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: The pool is already live, both assets are yield-bearing stables, and the protocol is committing bribes to bootstrap initial liquidity — so the incentives alignment is there. From a Balancer ecosystem standpoint, this adds depth to stablecoin routing on Arbitrum and is consistent with how we’ve been scaling v3 liquidity across chains. ---

# Voting Actions December 8th - 12th Proposal: [**[BIP-892] Distribution of Rescued Funds from Balancer v2 November 3rd 2025 Attacks**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x79d4abf2838eead8f153f409ee200ebafa83a1499a7b5c586497d68562209657) Vote: Yes, let’s do it. Reasoning: We support BIP-892 as it operationalises the intent of BIP-726 by establishing a clear, compliant, and non-retainable whitehat reward framework while ensuring LPs are reimbursed on a per-pool, per-network, non-socialised basis. Paying bounties in-kind (10% of the rescued token, capped at $1M, non-retainable) eliminates pricing volatility, simplifies multi-network settlements, and preserves accounting clarity for the DAO. Excluding the internal Certora-coordinated rescue from Safe Harbor bounties is correct, as it maintains the agreement’s original purpose— **incentivizing external whitehats** , not compensating existing service relationships. The pro-rata BPT snapshot methodology and Payment-in-Kind LP reimbursement protect against socialised losses and align distribution with verifiable ownership before exploit execution. The proposed 180-day claim window and dormant-asset follow-up process strike a reasonable balance between user agency, process fairness, and governance accountability. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-893] Reconfigure the Protocol Swap Fee for the ReCLAMM Pool Type**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x7514382977e4917928ae382f370ce0e589b027175649245d29cae9689145f840) Vote: Yes, let’s do it. Reasoning: We support this proposal because the current 50% protocol swap-fee retention is demonstrably impairing the economics of ReCLAMM pools, creating excessive drag on LP positions, particularly in volatile pairs, and validated simulations and live-pool data both indicate that fee extraction at this level can approach unsustainable annualized costs, undermining liquidity incentives and the long-term viability of the pool type. Reducing the protocol swap fee to a more balanced 25%—a data-backed yet cautious adjustment—directly addresses this misalignment, improves LP profitability, preserves a sustainable protocol-fee stream, and enables a healthier feedback loop between liquidity provision and pool growth, while ongoing monitoring post-implementation ensures governance retains flexibility to recalibrate if needed. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-894] Kill Stream Gauges**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xc6f975080d4649729c51e768724244d6da209ad9da6804d8c6f31b8ff2f858d9) Vote: Yes, let’s do it. Reasoning: We support this proposal because the Stream Finance incident has left the underlying assets depegged and illiquid, and recent data shows the affected gauges direct emissions to pools with no productive use or trading volume. Killing these Stream gauges is a necessary governance step to stop incentive misallocation and preserve the integrity of the DAO’s emissions framework. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-895] QuantAMM Retroactive Fee Allocation**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xde10f920fcd4fc06946af1c0a22e52403e8a9fdb5b511c6c72dbddcb852f4f07) Vote: Yes, let’s do it. Reasoning: We support this proposal because it corrects a clear fee-routing error under an already-approved agreement (BIP-871), ensuring QuantAMM contributors receive the fees they were entitled to while maintaining fairness for veBAL holders through a transparent, one-time adjustment in the next distribution, without requiring clawbacks or setting a harmful precedent. ---

# Voting Actions January 5th - 9th Proposal: [**[BIP-898] Migrate mainnet ALCX/ETH 80/20 gauge and Core Pool status to new v3 pool**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x0573db9da314643e02adc53f157990ab24db63455146b510cf35c82c30cf291c) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: We support BIP-898, as migrating the ALCX/ETH 80/20 gauge and Core Pool status from the deprecated v2 pool to the new v3 pool aligns with Balancer’s broader transition to v3 infrastructure. The proposal preserves existing parameters while ensuring LPs benefit from the more resilient v3 design, maintaining continuity of incentives and fee routing without introducing additional risk or emissions changes. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-899] Gauge proposal for msUSD/USDC & msUSD/msY**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x006de861d17e4ad2d9503e80d5e539686d0902eeb16c34c976414f5052967b2b) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: These gauges should improve msUSD price stability, routing, and on-chain usability while creating a clear venue for msUSD↔msY flows, and the modest 2% caps appropriately limit risk while allowing veBAL voters to allocate incentives based on real usage and fee generation. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-900] Enable Gauge for 60GOLD/40wstETH Pool at 10% cap**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xe16d96e263d88aac42666c9ad3569a447986d103c7ae0fa647f01a39889b5fc7) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: Pairing GOLD with wstETH materially improves the risk profile while preserving Ethereum liquidity for the GOLD ecosystem, and a 10% cap provides sufficient room for veBAL voters to support this strategic pool without overcommitting emissions. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-901] Increase Gauge Cap for TETU/USDC 80/20 Pool to 5%**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x5c974824178259ac4e2409ed26e8cf9848e57b990c282d6d8031705d9600c878) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: The higher cap does not mandate additional emissions but gives veBAL voters flexibility to direct incentives, while supporting deeper, more resilient liquidity paired with a stable asset and a fully circulating token. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-902] Enable Gauge For 25% Bal / 25% Aura / 50% wabasUSDC**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xfe354cf316ff05feaf42207e0b78fe3f12beaa017ffc8ae5afff401487ac0368) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: Enabling this gauge helps bootstrap meaningful BAL/AURA liquidity on Base while integrating yield-bearing waBasUSDC, which should improve capital efficiency for LPs and routing quality for traders. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-903] Transition Core Pool Incentive Program to Stake DAO’s Votemarket v2**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0xdbcc0399493738d7b72f345ed1aee7f57fc653f32d5e08ba4bccc7f1d1622667) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: Consolidating both Balancer and Aura incentives on a single, well-understood platform reduces operational complexity while preserving the existing mechanics and alignment established by BIP-19 and BIP-457. * * * Proposal: [**[BIP-904] Balancer V3 Hypernative Pause Module Enablement**](https://snapshot.org/#/s:balancer.eth/proposal/0x014b9192b3963d60a8fb123fd5ebf0c372ba73424d601753575c1c67dac0184a) Vote: Yes, let’s do it Reasoning: We support this proposal, as it strengthens Balancer V3’s real-time defenses with a proven, automated last line of protection against exploits. Following the recent V2 incident, giving the Emergency subDAO a pre-approved, rapidly executable mechanism to pause affected pools or vaults across all V3 networks is a prudent risk mitigation step that meaningfully reduces potential damage while still remaining under multisig oversight [Previous page](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/karpatkey-delegate-thread/5334.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forum.balancer.fi/t/karpatkey-delegate-thread/5334.md?page=6)
