I should have chimed in here earlier so it was clearer that this proposal does indeed have buy in from a delegate. Unfortunately it was marked “not approved” on snapshot but this was my fault. I’ve been working with the Byte Masons on this and gave them a few rounds of feedback before they ultimately landed at what I think is a solid proposal (and I fully support it).
Balancer & BeethovenX plan to work closely with the Byte Masons to roll out Granary & Reaper boosted pools (liquidity pools where most of the tokens are deposited elsewhere to earn a yield, in addition to swap fees). Aave can be a bit slow to add new tokens - meanwhile Granary already supports OP and they can move quickly to add other tokens like MAI that we can then leverage on the LP side. Reaper also recently rolled out multi-strategy single asset crypts which can be used in a similar way.
The expertise the Byte Masons bring to the table cannot be overstated. The brain power Optimism stands to gain here is massive and when you combine that with Balancer’s technology it’s going to unlock a ton of cool integrations.
