Stats
Although we saw vlAURA APR dip a bit in the most recent voting epoch, bribe efficiency was extremely high. For every $1 spent on incentives, a pool received $1.50 in emissions. This opens up more opportunities for new protocols to incentivize their pools.
Governance
We saw several proposals pass Balancer governance votes in the second half of May. You can dig deeper into any of the proposals on Aura’s Snapshot page.
New Gauges:
[BIP-609] Enable Gauge for wrsETH/WETH [Optimism]
[BIP-610] Enable ETHx / wstETH Gauge [Arbitrum]
Other Governance:
[BIP-607] Update FTM Multisig to Claim vested BEETS
[BIP-608] Deploy Balancer on Fraxtal
[BIP-611] Delegate BalancerDAO ARB to karpatkey
[BIP-612] Funding for Live Event Participation
