Pioneering AMM Innovation with Balancer Technology

**Action Required for Delegators** If you've delegated your voting power under veBAL, you'll need to take action: - **Delegations will not automatically transfer** to the new voting system - Visit the portal to confirm your current delegation settings - **Re-set your delegation** to ensure your vote continues to count - This process must be completed **separately for each chain** where you have delegated voting power Without re-setting your delegation, your voting power may not be properly allocated in the new system.

Balancer has implemented a major governance change with BIP-921 going live onchain. **Key Changes:** - **No more vote locking** - The veBAL sunset means BAL holders can now vote without locking tokens - **Direct voting power** - Raw BAL balances across 7 chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Optimism, Gnosis, Avalanche) now determine voting power - **New quorum threshold** - Set at 10M BAL - **No decay mechanism** - Voting power remains constant based on holdings This marks a shift from the previous vote-escrowed model to a simpler, more accessible governance system where any BAL holder automatically has voting rights.

**Deadline Alert: August 10th** Funds rescued from Balancer's November 3rd V2 incident remain claimable, but time is running out. The 180-day claim window closes on **August 10th**. **Key Details:** - Whitehat-rescued funds are available for eligible users - Claims opened in February following BIP-892 - After the deadline, governance will determine the fate of unclaimed funds **Action Required:** Check your eligibility at [balancer.fi/portfolio](http://balancer.fi/portfolio) This represents the final opportunity for affected users to recover their funds before governance takes over decision-making for remaining assets.

**AI agents can now interact with Balancer protocol through Base MCP integration.** The new capability allows agents to: - Execute token swaps on Balancer - Provide liquidity to pools - Build and submit transactions based on plain language commands Users simply describe their desired action in natural language, and the agent handles the technical execution. All transactions require user approval before submission. This integration extends Base MCP's growing toolkit for onchain agent operations, which already includes transfers, swaps, lending, and borrowing across major Base applications.

Balancer V3 has launched **AutoRange Pools**, a concentrated liquidity solution that automatically adjusts price ranges without manual intervention. **Key features:** - Liquidity providers deposit once; the pool manages range adjustments automatically - No oracle dependency or third-party managers required - Positions are standard ERC-20 tokens (not NFTs), enabling use as collateral and in governance - Range shifts based on the pool's own trading activity when price crosses a threshold - Designed for established pairs with real volume **Target users:** - DAOs and treasuries seeking autonomous liquidity management - Passive LPs wanting concentrated liquidity efficiency without maintenance overhead - Protocols needing oracle-free, composable liquidity primitives The system addresses three core problems with traditional concentrated liquidity: constant range management, NFT fragmentation, and JIT bot attacks. Two audits (Cantina and Certora) were completed before launch. Balancer offers simulations for token pairs before deployment to assess fit.
