Voting Actions - October 27th - 31st
Proposal: [BIP-882] Transitioning Onchain Operations of the Balancer DAO to Balancer Onchain Limited
Vote: Yes, let’s do it
Reasoning: The reasoning can be found here.
Proposal: [BIP-883] Emergency Safe Governance Improvements Q4 2025
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
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
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
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.
