The Balancer Maxis are assisting DAO participants in deploying pools and gauges, monitoring and funding various mission-critical components such as transmitting BAL rewards to gauges across deployments. Given the uptick in average gas costs in recent days, we have identified that the currently allocated budget will not be sufficient to continue operations until the end of March. Therefore, the Maxis are asking for 50 ETH to fund operations for the upcoming months.
The Maxis are responsible for various operational tasks across the DAO such as pool deployments, gauge creations and funding of our OZ defender infrastructure and distribution of voting incentives. These involve spending ETH to fund these operations. We have built a monitoring dashboard visualizing our gas spending over time: https://dune.com/scoffie/advancedmaxigasstation
As of the writing of this proposal, the gas station is running low on ETH, currently sitting at 1.8 ETH. Additionally, the Maxi Ops wallet 0x166f54F44F271407f24AA1BE415a730035637325 currently holds 2 ETH. Given the gas station is responsible to fund various critical components such as the BAL reward distributors across networks, these funds will likely not last until the end of March. In the past, Maxis requested approximately 20 ETH per quarter to fund these operations. Based on these metrics we ask for an additional 50 ETH that shall be spent over the next 5-6 months depending on network activity. Maxis will make sure to execute most transactions at the lowest possible fee rates. The funds will then be managed by the Maxi operations wallet to periodically fund the gas station when needed.
The DAO Multisig 0x10A19e7eE7d7F8a52822f6817de8ea18204F2e4f will transfer 50 ETH to the Maxis Multisig address as the recipient 0x166f54F44F271407f24AA1BE415a730035637325.
