# Chakra Alignment: June 3, 2024 By [Aura Finance](https://blog.aura.finance) · 2024-06-03 --- Welcome back, Meditators! It’s time for our quick bi-weekly check-in on everything happening at Aura.

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. ![Screen Shot 2024-05-29 at 10.38.20 AM.png](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/3d28ab6992256ba2361d1af00f8a8f0b.png) 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](https://vote.aura.finance/#/). **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 Tweets you might have missed ---------------------------- [![User Avatar](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/200bfc83cea641ed79eb51108a6b01d8.jpg)](https://twitter.com/AuraFinance) [Aura](https://twitter.com/AuraFinance) [@AuraFinance](https://twitter.com/AuraFinance) [![Twitter Logo](https://paragraph.xyz/editor/twitter/logo.png)](https://twitter.com/AuraFinance/status/1790424933358514316) Aura’s first franchise @HyperlockFi continues to be a major player in the [@Blast\_L2](https://twitter.com/Blast_L2) ecosystem.
