Hey Balancer community,

My name is Ann, I’m the Lead Governance Researcher on the StableLab team.

[StableLab](https://www.stablelab.xyz/) is a governance advisory firm specializing in professional delegation and governance framework design at some of the leading DeFi DAOs.

We recently launched [DAOmeter](https://www.daometer.xyz/), a maturity rating system for DAOs. The goal of DAOmeter is to serve as a public good by providing an effective method of evaluating and benchmarking the maturity levels of various protocols. This is achieved through a scoring system that encompasses key categories within protocols, such as Community, Voting, Documentation, Security, and more.

Based on our evaluation, we have assigned Balancer a maturity score of 77%.

Some areas of improvement that can be made include:

- Degelate compensation
- Storing proposal data on-chain

We’d like to clarify that DAO maturity doesn’t equal “decentralization”. We provide a 40 page report on the breakdown of the score as well as the research methods behind DAOmeter, which you can find [here](https://www.daometer.xyz/methodology).

As we’re committed to the continuous improvement and development of this tool, we’d love to [hear](https://forum.daometer.xyz/) from the broader community. Please feel free to share your thoughts, suggestions, and insights with us as we work to improve the DAOmeter scoring system.
