Proposal for Symmetric to manage Gnosis Deployment as Friendly Fork of Balancer

Bullish on Gnosis Chain and looking forward to seeing Balancer on there! Looks like Symmetric are super capable and would be able to technically manage any ongoing deployment.

However it seems like this might not be the best move economically for Balancer or Gnosis. With the SYMM token being already established and trading at ~800k FDV, it could be hard to generate native incentives for the ecosystem and thus would rely on veBAL gauges. In terms of revenue for veBAL, having the proposed fee structure of “50% Protocols (Split evenly between Symmetric and Balancer) - 50% LP provider” could have a negative effect on the overall system, whereas normally 37.5% would end up going to veBAL or core pools.

Noticed in the Orb strategy update that @immutbl mentioned a potential Gnosis chain deployment was in the pipeline. Would be interested to know if the core Balancer units were thinking about doing this any time soon, @Fernando maybe you can comment on that?
