Dearest Golden Boys and future Golden Boys, remember when we said to keep an eye on $GOLD? Well, if you didn't stack while the Au (look it up on the periodic table if you need to) was hot, you might just miss the golden opportunity now. The world of DeFi is about to be shaken, not stirred, as $GOLD dives deep into the Balancer Gauges. And guess what? We told you so. Humpy, the Midas of meme-coins, is at it again, turning the emergent Base ecosystem into gold.

Balancer Vote for Gauges on Base (Alpha)

Balancer's recent expansion to the Avalanche and Base networks is noteworthy, but the real glittering prize lies in the Balancer vote $GOLD pool gauges on Base.

Imagine the shimmering potential of $GOLD LPs receiving Balancer gauge emissions. It's like a river of gold flowing directly into the hands of those who believe. And who is leading this golden parade? None other than Humpy, the whale with the Midas touch.

When It's Going to Happen

The vote is currently live on [Snapshot]. (Go vote!)

If the vote passes, which, given the value of $GOLD, is a very real possibility, it usually takes around two weeks for the emissions to start flowing.

The Golden Triad Liquidity Pools

If you have an eye for the glitter, you may have noticed that some Balancer LPs are going to make waves in our little corner of DeFi (which is soon to be a big corner).

• The Gold Chad Pool: 50% $GOLD / 25% WETH / 25% USDC Dive into the latest sensation in the DeFi pool party – a shimmering blend of 50% $GOLD, 25% WETH, and 25% USDC. This isn't just a pool; it's a golden elixir of liquidity crafted carefully to bring much needed USDC/ETH liquidity to Balancer on Base. And here's the cherry on top: this dazzling concoction is set with a cap of 10% BAL rewards in the current gauge vote. This three-sided LP is a three-sided win for Balancer, $GOLD, and Base.

• For Balancer enjoyers, the [33% GOLD/33% BAL/33% USDC pool](33% GOLD/33% BAL/33% USDC pool) may have caught your eye… a harmonious triad where each token holds an equal third of the power. A perfect metaphor for healing relationships and supportive strategies, this LP is set at a 2% cap.

• Meanwhile, for $GOLDbug maximalists, the 99% GOLD / 1% WETH pool remains the safe bet. Protect your bags from the risk of impermanent loss and hoard them like a pre-rich dragon fresh out of your egg…

A nugget of alpha for our esteemed reader?
>There are rumors of Aura coming to Base, and the master alchemists are preparing for its arrival. The 33/33/33 pool will receive a gauge for now, but not even the alchemists themselves know what the future will hold (could there be something to do with Aura itself…?)

Liquidity is Moving

The Whale is preparing our liquidity pools in anticipation of Balancer Gauges. When the Whale moves, so does the water. Adjust your positions accordingly, as chunks of liquidity are expected to be re-allocated to support the Balancer protocol and reap Gauge rewards. So if you notice the waves, look for the Whale (on-chain, of course).

How This is Good for Balancer, Base, and $GOLD

This collaboration is a win-win-win. Balancer gets to tap into the $GOLD community, Base benefits from increased activity and liquidity, and $GOLD? Well, it's poised to shine even brighter in the DeFi universe. The 50/25/25 Gold Chad Pool is critical to developing ETH/USD liquidity for Balancer, which is why it’s set to receive a 10% cap. With Balancer Gauges in the mix, $GOLD is not just another meme coin; it's a DeFi heavyweight.

Wrapping It Up

In the world of DeFi, where liquidity is the lifeblood, $GOLD is building from a stream to a river. With these BAL reward gauges, we're balancing on the edge of a golden era. Like Midas, with every touch, every gauge, and every drop of liquidity, $GOLD is setting the standard. So, as we stand at the cusp of this glittering horizon, the question remains: are you ready to be part of humpy’s golden opus? 🚀✨
