· 2026-03-23T22:31:00+00:00So the Balancer founder wants to shut down Balancer Labs and end all incentives for the Lab and his own team. This means the BAL token will likely have very little value left after years of free emissions. In terms of technology, Balancer’s core mechanics have now been adopted
· 2026-03-23T21:26:45+00:00Founder's post: "What stopped working was the economic model around it. We were spending too much to attract liquidity relative to what that liquidity was actually generating in revenue. We were diluting BAL holders to sustain a system..."

Supply on @Curvance , @Euler @Neverland_Money and LP on @Balancer and @Uniswap Stacking yield on yield. One asset, multiple streams. And earn up to 10X points too!

· 2026-03-23T21:09:38+00:00Just like traditional companies don't pay shareholders every time (for conserving cash, reinvesting into growth, etc) in my opinion DAOs don't need to either.
