Vote: No
Reasoning: yETH was hacked, so does not makes sense to incentivise this pool.

Proposal: [BIP-892] Distribution of Rescued Funds from Balancer v2 November 3rd 2025 Attacks

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: We support this proposal. Using in-kind rewards (10% of rescued token, capped at $1M, non-retainable) reduces volatility and keeps accounting cleaner across networks. The pro-rata BPT snapshot methodology and LP reimbursement offers protection 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

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: The current 50% protocol swap-fee capture has been overly burdensome for ReCLAMM LP positioning, particularly in more volatile trading pairs, and has introduced a persistent headwind to the sustainability of the pool model. Adjusting the fee to 25% delivers a healthier equilibrium — strengthening LP economics while preserving a durable fee stream for the DAO, and maintaining governance optionality to reassess the parameter over time if conditions evolve.

Proposal: [BIP-894] Kill Stream Gauges

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: The affected assets continue to trade at a material depeg and offer limited to no liquidity, while the gauges remain active despite directing emissions to pools that currently generate negligible trading activity or ecosystem value.

Proposal: [BIP-895] QuantAMM Retroactive Fee Allocation

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: The proposal resolves a clear fee-routing inconsistency under a previously approved DAO agreement, and does so without clawbacks or introducing adverse precedent. It ensures contributors receive the fees they were originally owed, protects fairness for veBAL holders through a controlled, non-recurring adjustment, and preserves transparency while limiting disruption to future distributions.

Proposal: [BIP-896] Rocket Pool Balancer Alliance Addendum

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Applying the revenue-sharing terms from BIP-822 to the new v3 rETH/WETH pool maintains continuity within a long-standing alliance and prevents avoidable incentive gaps following the security-driven retirement of the v2 pool.

Proposal: [BIP-897] Gauge proposal for iUSD-msUSD with 5% cap

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: The iUSD-msUSD Composable Stable pool is positioned to become an important liquidity layer for the upcoming Odyssey looping vault ecosystem, enabling efficient entry and exit routes and supporting robust liquidation flows.

Proposal: [BIP-898] Migrate mainnet ALCX/ETH 80/20 gauge and Core Pool status to new v3 pool

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Migrating the ALCX/ETH 80/20 gauge and Core Pool status maintains continuity of incentives and fee routing.

Proposal: [BIP-899] Gauge proposal for msUSD/USDC & msUSD/msY

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Enabling these gauges should strengthen msUSD liquidity, improve routing and on-chain usability, and provide a clear venue for msUSD↔msY flows. The 2% caps are prudent, limiting 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

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Pairing GOLD with battle-tested wstETH meaningfully improves the pool’s risk profile.

Proposal: [BIP-901] Increase Gauge Cap for TETU/USDC 80/20 Pool to 5%

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Raising the cap supports deeper liquidity for the pool.

Proposal: [BIP-902] Enable Gauge For 25% BAL / 25% AURA / 50% waBasUSDC

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Enabling this gauge should help bootstrap meaningful BAL/AURA liquidity on Base while integrating yield-bearing waBasUSDC, improving capital efficiency for LPs and routing quality for traders.

Proposal: [BIP-903] Transition Core Pool Incentive Program to Stake DAO’s Votemarket v2

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Given Hidden Hand’s shutdown, transitioning to Votemarket v2 is a pragmatic choice. Consolidating Balancer and Aura incentives on a single, established platform reduces operational complexity.

Proposal: [BIP-904] Balancer V3 Hypernative Pause Module Enablement

Vote: Yes
Reasoning: Granting the Emergency subDAO a pre-approved, rapidly executable pause mechanism across V3 networks is a prudent risk mitigation step that remains under multisig oversight.
