Vote and proposal
Do you remember that the 4pool was supposed to kill DAI ?
2 recent gauge votes show the DAO must give more scrutiny to what it votes for:
— W⬡rmholeOracle (@WormholeOracle) April 18, 2022
1⃣ BEAN-3CRV: the protocol wasn't time tested and, while hindsight is 20/20, it had some red flags
2⃣ JPEG-ETH: flubbed the vote with the wrong address
Responsibility is boring, we need more boring
Did you really think that MakerDAO will lose without fighting ? You can find a summary here
Introducing the Basepool: a proposed partnership between @MakerDAO and @CurveFinance that offers unrivaled capital efficiency for stablecoin liquidity pools

Read the draft proposal here (split into two options, A & B): https://t.co/q5Sf5ltzPH
TL;DRs in the tread below
1/19
Vote to add a gauge on the highly used USDC pool on Avalanche
Putting that for a vote again: USDC.e/USDC gauge on Avalanche. It exchanges between bridged USDC and "real" USDC. Due to high demand, it actually has a high volume and brings good fees for the DAOhttps://t.co/mR8OjPVSX5https://t.co/UqHSYgBo7x

Some concerns about the XST-3CRV pool
So XST-3CRV has a gauge proposal up with shady oracles, shady reply guys posting on the gov forum, a gauge ownership bribe (its a big no no from my point of view).

Yeah. No.
Following the Drama last week, some nice discussions happened (when you removed all the noise coming from StakeDAo’s fanboys congratulating each others ^^). Let’s see if this vote will pass or not.
After…

The following two proposals are now up for voting:https://t.co/1titQgdMpThttps://t.co/XewiHXlvOg
New Pools
TheCitadel_DAO is starting to boostrap the BTC/4pool
On behalf of the @TheCitadel_DAO community I've proposed that @terra_money participate in the Citadel DAO public launch event with up to $21M.
— Spada₿oom 🦡 (@spadaboom1) May 2, 2022
- Creates deep liquidity & influence for BTC/4Pool
- Increases the BTC backing of UST
TLDR; we like the 4poolhttps://t.co/ZLBdMDxQXJ
General stuffs 🤤
A new player ? Abracadabra wrote a proposal to Whitelist Abracadabra mCRV Voter Contract.
🧙🏼♂️!

The proposal to whitelist MagicCRV in the @CurveFinance DAO is now up for discussion!🗣🔥
🗳 Read the proposal: https://t.co/QuLpNbltwv
📖 Read more about MagicCRV: https://t.co/B9SziNxoWy
Abracadabra is starting to accumulate $CRV.
So Abra purchased 5.78m $CRV @ $2.33 from Alameda via FTX for their upcoming magicCRV (mCRV) launch:https://t.co/u6HbKA3Cs0

That purchase took out 90% of CRV on deposit at FTX, only about 575k CRV left 👀👇$SPELL $MIM #Defi https://t.co/1olxxXmsyC pic.twitter.com/nhTnQIjjjP
Is it time to reduce fees ?
A surprising simulation by @nagakingg shows that if 3pool fees are reduced to 1 bps, although 3pool earnings may decrease, the total DAO earnings will increase due to metapools being more efficienthttps://t.co/e6Shzz7Wb6

From the community
The most liquid asset 😱 It’s a troll ????
It has taken a while but the daily 100sma is finally below the guppies. Quite different macro conditions, but if anything is going to be a leading indicator of the entire crypto space it'll be the most liquid asset. $crv pic.twitter.com/BcMk4tU0QK
