[BIP-864] Enable RZR/wstETH 80/20 Gauge on Balancer v3 Ethereum
Summary:
Proposal to add a RZR/wstETH Pool on the Ethereum blockchain to the Gauge Controller, enabling users to assign gauge weight and mint BAL.
The team has seeded over 700k$ of liquidity.

Protocol Description:
Rezerve is a fair-launched reserve currency (free-floating) that captures every cent of protocol revenue and sends it straight back to the people who stake it—no VCs, no insiders, no backstage market-makers.
Vision Statement: https://rezerve.gitbook.io/protocol/the-vision Roadmap: https://rezerve.gitbook.io/protocol/roadmap-path-to-1-billion-fdv
Motivation:
The Rezerve protocol seeks to deepen its integration within the Balancer ecosystem on Ethereum by incentivizing liquidity for a wstETH/RZR pool. This two-asset pool establishes a critical link between RZR and Ethereum-native liquidity, positioning wstETH as the primary routing asset. By providing a robust liquidity venue for trading between RZR and wstETH, this pool enhances utility, accessibility, and capital efficiency across the ecosystem.
A Balancer gauge for this pool would enable BAL emissions to be directed toward it, encouraging deeper and more persistent liquidity. This not only improves swap efficiency and reduces slippage for users but also establishes Balancer as the primary liquidity venue for RZR on Ethereum Mainnet. Additionally, increased pool depth will strengthen broader protocol integrations, including reserve-backed lending, stablecoin liquidity routing, and cross-chain liquidity pathways leveraging RZR.
Specifications:
- Governance: The protocol is behind a 1 day timelock with a 3/4 multisig with plans to become a fully decentralized DAO with RZR token holders placing votes in the ecosystem. See https://rezerve.gitbook.io/protocol/security/timelocked-multisig-admin
- Oracles: The protocol relies heavily on eOracle https://rezerve.gitbook.io/protocol/security/oracles
- Audits: The protocol has inherited the audits from OlympusDAO but has also conducted an independent audit with Halborn. https://rezerve.gitbook.io/protocol/security/audits
- Centralization vectors: Besides the multisig + timelock there is no centralization vector. The project was launched as fairly as possible.
- Market History: There has not been any major price deviations on the project. https://dexscreener.com/sonic/0x08c5e3b7533ee819a4d1f66e839d0e8f04ae3d0c
- Value: Is this pool intended to be the primary source of liquidity for the token(s)? Yes
