[BIP-905] Kill Stale Gauges Q4 2025
https://github.com/BalancerMaxis/multisig-ops/pull/2622
Motivation
Per BIP-750 2025 Gauge Management the MAXYZ are responsible for killing gauges on a quarterly basis due to them becoming stale I.e. not voted for. The definition of stale as defined in the framework is a pool under 100k for >60 days and a pool without veBAL votes for >60 days. Removing these gauges from the system decreases overhead for gauge checkpointing, gas costs for the operation, and improves UX on the frontend and snapshot for gauge votes via Aura due to shorter lists and less clutter.
Summary
- Date Generated: 2026-01-02 06:50:40 UTC
- Quarter: Q1
- Total Gauges for Killing: 15 + 2 where project is closing operations
- TVL Threshold: $100,000 USD
- Dune Query: Query #4805654
Kill Criteria
Gauges are identified for killing based on the following criteria:
- Maximum 60-day TVL below $100,000 USD
- Status: Active (eligible for killing)
Gauge Kill List
The following 15 gauge(s) have been identified for killing via the standard monitoring process:
