[BIP-105] Enable STG/bb-a-USD Gauge [Ethereum]

[BIP-108] Enable SD/MaticX 80/20 Gauge with 2% emissions cap (Polygon)

Vote: YES. - Stader has been a mutually beneficial group to have on Balancer Protocol. This is their primary liquidity source on Polygon, 2% cap, all looks reasonable to me.

[BIP-112] Adjust Balancer Snapshot for Aura AIP-17

Vote: YES. - Pretty straight forward that we cannot double count votes or allow all the locked veBAL in Aura no ability to participate in governance. This should go through without any issues so governance can continue properly.

[BIP-114] Symmetric as the Official Friendly Fork of Balancer on Celo

Vote: YES. - Symmetric has been consistent in expressing their interest in becoming a Balancer FF. They have been denied and persevered which says something in itself. I appreciate the team members and are interested in building new custom pool type products via grants as well. I look forward to what they will bring to the table and expanding Balancer’s reach.

[BIP-115] Balancer Smart Vaults Fee Collector

Vote: YES. - Automation for the work done by any portion of the Balancer community or SPs is a benefit. This decreases any risk of error and drives us towards an autonomous future which, in my opinion, is ideal for Balancer overall for sustainability.

[BIP-116] Enable TETU/USDC 80/20 Gauge w/2% emissions cap (Polygon)

Vote: YES. - TETU is bringing some positive new things to the table with their model and development team. I expect their model and team to continue to produce improvements to veBAL and Balancer as a whole. Wish it was bb-am-usd but with a 2% cap it is ok by me.

[BIP-117] Holdr Friendly Fork Proposal

Vote: YES. - Solace and HLDR seem to have given the friendly fork a thorough amount of thought and have been long term supporters of Balancer. This is news to me, but there proposal is robust in structure and alignment. Their support from Aurora is clear and I am interested to see what they bring to the table once they are up an running.

[BIP-118] Appointment of director to the Balancer Foundation

Vote: YES. - Danko is a phenomenal community member. I have had the pleasure of working with him myself and can vouch for how good of a choice he is for this role. Wish him all the best in his new post.

[BIP-119] Adding a Gauge for the New qETH/ETH Pool [Ethereum]

Vote: YES. - More yield bearing ETH options, it is a yes from me. Tranchess is proven and audited, therefore I trust them to benefit LPs and traders interested in their product. Balancer will benefit imo.

[BIP-120] Cleanup Unused Gauges

Vote: YES. - Much needed to make interface and experience for users simpler and easier.

[BIP-121] Permission granting - Recovery Mode

Vote: YES. - Clearly benefits Balancer user’s overall for rate providers to function properly. In support.

[BIP-123] Enable cbETH/wstETH Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: YES. - This is an exciting gauge to have. cbETH is quite popular and hopefully this will attract a large amount of users into the Balancer and Defi space. Yield is always nice too :slight_smile:

[BIP-125] Enable wstETH/ACX 50/50 Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: YES. - Great to see Across bring their liquidity to Balancer. Happy to have them on board here and pairing with wstETH.

Vote: YES. - Long awaited resolution between the major stakeholders in Balancer. Hope this is a true end to the turbulence so the teams here can build a better future together.

[BIP-129] Swap BAL for USDC using Aave’s Bonding Contract

Vote: YES. - To me this decision hurts. This is the best way possible to continue to fund the necessary Service Providers the DAO has voted into place. Balancer overall will need to expand during the next year to become default alive. I would understand if others voted against this, but my opinion is that Balancer will only become net positive by doubling down on several products still in progress.

[BIP-130] Kill FDT/WETH Gauge

Vote: YES. - Seems obvious; if they leave Balancer, no gauge allowed.

[BIP-131] Pool/Factory permission granting

Vote: YES. - This is process management and safety feature that is well worth having in the hands of trustworthy parties. In my view, the parties suggested be zekraken are the best option at this time.

[BIP-147] Enable RBN / USDC 50/50 Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: Yes - Ribbon coming to Balancer as their primary liquidity source is a great accomplishment. Hopefully this pool will pay itself back in multiples to both the DAO and Ribbon community as a useful addition to the protocol.

[BIP-148] Enable DOLA/USDC Stableswap Gauge on Ethereum

Vote: Yes - Approve for DOLA, replaces the vulernable gauge to maintain a key liquidity source to maintain the relationship.

[BIP-149] Funding Proposal for Silverlight Labs - REVISED

Vote: Yes - I prefer this route to the original proposal. Andy will be receiving primarily BAL as payment with locking similar to the Maxi payment structure. This will be test run but i hope for great information to come out of the interactions/addition.

[BIP-158] Migrate wstETH/WETH Gauge [Arbitrum]

Vote: Yes - Same as BIP-157

[BIP-159] Activate BAL Emissions for Mainnet EURS:USDC “FX Pool” w/2% emissions cap

Vote: Yes - Xave being a grantee is a team I have been in contact with directly. I understand their motives to be building a unique custom pool on Balancer and to bring FX trading to the forefront of Defi. I do not see them as bad actors or value extractors. Balancer will receive a fee equal to that of their own project, therefore I can support their intetions with a gauge. I do hope they can eventually begin to accumulate veBAL to become self sufficient and participate in Balancer at a governance level as a projec.t

[BIP-160] Enable SD/USDC (50/50) and SD/WETH (80/20) Gauges with 2% emissions cap (Ethereum)

Vote: Yes - SD is catching some great momentum in the current market and I do see them as bringing long term profitbability to Balancer DAO. Hopefully we can move to pools containing yield bearing tokens in the comings weeks/months.

[BIP-161] Close Year 2 Funding Gap

Vote: Proposal A - I feel as though proposal A is the most efficient way forward at this moment in time. Proposals B and C would involve Balancer DAO forgoing it’s treasury to some capacity before stripping the holders, myself included, of just a portion implied dividend from holding veBAL. While there are negative emotions around cutting a dividend to fund the SPs that require USDC, I feel this is better than permitting certain arms of Balancer to be severed. If one agrees that funding the teams in place at their current rate is essential, then I feel selling our own BAL is the last resort. If the 50/50 split proves to be overkill or too painful for veBAL holders to stay interested in, there will be a reevaluation in one quarter. Ideally we will eventually find our sweet spot on protocol fee split to sustainability, after which we can choose the best way forward.

In my mind, going overly cautious, meaning a 50/50 split or more weighted towards the DAO is the first step. Then we can follow up with changes back in favor of holders as needed. To sell BAL is the least desirable way in my opinion. I would go as far as keeping the DAO more than sustainable before pulling the lever to keep financials at a level where they are just treading water.

[BIP-162] Karpatkey Investment Strategy

Vote: Yes - Based on Kapratkey’s analysis and details outlined in the proposal I trust that they have optimized the DAO’s treasury strategy for growth with minimal risk. This and their openness to recommendations beyond their suggestions make this an easy yes.

[BIP-163] Restructure Governance Process - Disband Governance Council

Vote: Yes - This is a necessary improvement to Balancer’s governance process and I thank Tritium for taking the helm on this. The process is easy to follow and decentralized in nature.

[BIP-164] Deposit BAL into Aave Polygon v3

Vote: Yes - Makes sense to keep our presence strong in the AAVE ecosystem and utilize the treasury to the best of our ability, including the BAL outside of Karpatkey’s scope.

[BIP-165] Enable ankrETH/ETH Gauge on Ethereum

Vote: Yes - Yes for more yield bearing asset pools. LSD adoption continues to be a sound move for Balancer.

[BIP-173] Enable TRYB / USDC Gauge with a 2% Emission Cap [Ethereum]

[BIP-174] Enable wUSDR-USDC Gauge with a 2% Emission Cap [Ethereum]

> [BIP-181] Enable bb-euler-FRAX/bb-euler-USDC Gauge [Ethereum]

Vote: Yes - As stated on BIP 171 more Frax support is a plus for Balancer. Euler implementation of boosting assets is key here. Great combo of two powerful projects and well worth permitting a gauge for.

[BIP-182] Enable bb-rf-USD Gauge [Arbitrum]

Vote: Yes - Reaper will provide high quality yield on Arbitrum which is exactly what Balancer needs on the network. Looking forward to this compounding in value and expanding our scale on the network in coming months. Well worth supporting.
