Balancer Governance Approves New Chain Deployments, Friendly Fork, and Treasury Strategy
馃敟 Balancer Shakes Things Up...
Balancer governance has approved several proposals through Snapshot voting. These include deploying Balancer on the Mode and Linea networks, recognizing Jellyswap as an official friendly fork, adding a new gauge for the sUSDe/USDC pool on Ethereum, lending 25,000 BAL tokens through MYSO Finance for treasury diversification, extending the pool pause window from six months to four years, and simplifying the process for posting proposals on Snapshot. These decisions aim to expand Balancer's presence across chains, manage forks, optimize liquidity, and streamline governance processes.
Last week was a busy one for Aura and @Balancer governance with the passing of seven proposals on Snapshot. From new chain deployments to a friendly fork and a new treasury strategy鈥攖here's plenty to discuss. Read along for a brief summary of each proposal. 猬囷笍
