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.
