Balancer

Balancer remains the only DEX with next-gen tokenomics and stableswap logic for LSTs on Arbitrum, with a TVL of $150 million. Balancer Tech is gaining momentum.

The Balancer DAO governance has been active during the holiday season. Recent decisions include injecting BAL liquidity on Avalanche, funding for the Maxis, removing unused gauges, exiting the D2D/BAL pool, granting funds for Balancer initiatives in Q1 2024, extending technical and marketing services, planning an in-person meetup, capping individual voter weight, and adjusting the Arbitrum LGP and STIP programs. The DAO has also voted on various gauge proposals.

Balancer has partnered with RDNT Capital and PlutusDAO to introduce governance tokenomics advancements on Arbitrum. The collaboration utilizes the ve8020 mechanism, liquid wrappers, incentive flywheels, and core pool dynamics. Radiant Capital's governance position with the RDNT/ETH 8020 Balancer BPT has facilitated over $260 million in swap volume and generated $1.31 million in incentives via swap fees. The RDNT token has achieved a swap liquidity of $51 million. PlutusDAO introduces PlsRDNT V2, a liquid, max locked #dLP position that compound incentives within a liquid token. The position unlocks various benefits, including yield-bearing features, a share of $ARB STIP, $BAL incentives, and esPLS rewards from Plutus. It also integrates with AuraFinance for boosted rewards. However, users should consider smart contract risks as the complexity increases.

The Ledger Connect issue reported yesterday has been fixed. Balancer was not affected and the frontend is safe to use. Users are advised to stay vigilant and exercise caution with their transactions.

A potential vulnerability has been detected with Ledger Connect. Users are advised to exercise caution and avoid using the Balancer frontend until further information is available.

The Balancer DAO has been shaping its ecosystem through various governance proposals. One proposal aims to discontinue old gauges and migrate pools due to a security breach. Other approved proposals include updating permissions for the zkEVM Composable Stable Pool Factory, adding more BAL to LP on Across to enhance bridging liquidity, authorizing Mimic Smart Vaults on multiple networks, and sunsetting R gauges due to a recent exploit. Stay updated with Balancer's Governance Forum for more developments.

Balancer is a decentralized exchange (AMM) that utilizes a rate provider contract to pull pricing data from the chainlink Oracle on AVAX. This allows for accurate pricing of swaps and helps mitigate LVR on LP. Additionally, the core pool mechanics of Balancer scale LP incentives based on TVL.

Starting Friday, all $ARB boosts will increase by 18%, resulting in over 205k $ARB flowing to LPs every two weeks until February 15th. #ARBSZN
