Balancer Eliminates Token Locking with BIP-921 Implementation
Balancer Eliminates Token Locking with BIP-921 Implementation
🔓 Balancer unlocks governance
Balancer has implemented BIP-921, fundamentally changing its governance structure. The protocol has sunset its veBAL system, removing the requirement to lock tokens for voting rights.
Key changes:
- No more token locking required
- Direct voting power for BAL holders
- Simplified governance participation
Any wallet holding BAL tokens now has immediate voting rights in protocol decisions. This marks a shift from the previous vote-escrowed model that required users to lock their tokens for extended periods to gain governance influence.
The change is now active onchain, making Balancer's governance more accessible to token holders.
Voting on Balancer just changed. BIP-921 is now live onchain. Following the veBAL sunset, there's no lock anymore. If you hold BAL, you have a vote.
