### Author Treasury League: @Davide, reviewed by @Biaf @william @Teo ### Background - [Make Yield Your Own: Perpetual Yield Tranches are Live!](https://medium.com/idle-finance/make-yield-your-own-perpetual-yield-tranches-are-live-2aef53c153d6) - [Tranches Battle: choose which asset integrate next](https://gov.pareto.credit/t/tranches-battle-choose-which-asset-integrate-next/896) - [Lido + Idle: Leveraged Yield and Deposit Protection on stETH](https://medium.com/idle-finance/lido-idle-leveraged-yield-and-deposit-protection-on-steth-b46883a8e277) - [Introducing $IDLE Gauges model for Tranches](https://gov.pareto.credit/t/introducing-idle-gauges-model-for-tranches/913) * * * ### Abstract This proposal defines the initial batch of Gauges and introduces a framework to add new pools to the Gauges Controller. ### Motivation With the upcoming launch of Gauges, Idle DAO should vote on which Senior Tranches would be eligible to receive IDLE incentives and allow future prospective partners to whitelist their PYTs/pools in the Gauges. ### Initial batch of whitelisted Gauges This proposal would whitelist Senior Tranches that are currently in production, excluding DAI and FEI Best-Yield PYTs as they already receive IDLE from the Best-Yield LM program. Furthermore, Leagues propose the listing of mUSD and mUSDcrv, which are in [beta](https://beta.idle.finance/#/dashboard/tranches/senior). mStable [approved](https://vote.mstable.org/#/proposal/0x67701640cfa0255f130f8134353f2a2e9eab5f1f83e2a7454367c46cc637de8d) the whitelisting of mUSDcrv into their Dial, allowing liquidity providers to accrue MTA rewards. Lastly, pBTCcrv PYT will be launched in the next days. Its release was postponed to let pNetwork team upgrade their asset to v2 and launch new Curve/Convex pools. On Thursday 31st, the Convex pool will be available and Dev League will proceed with the integration into PYTs. Proposed whitelisted Gauges are the Senior PYTs of: - stETH - FRAX3crv - MIM3crv - stecrv - alUSD3crv - 3EUR - mUSDcrv - mUSD - pBTCcrv There will be a delay of a few days between the launch of Gauges and the first community voting period. During this timeframe, the initial weights of Gauges will be proportional to generated fees among the listed PYTs. With the first voting round, stkIDLE holders will be empowered to set the future Gauges weights. ### Idle Gauges Whitelisting Framework While PYTs will be the main beneficiary of Gauge listing, the process is also open to pools controlled by other protocols. Any smart contract is eligible for Idle Gauges, including AMM pools, on-top PYT products, and tools that empower Idle DAO to expand the ecosystem with new use cases. The whitelisting process will be composed of 3 steps: 1. _Forum Proposal_ 2. _Temperature Check_ 3. _On-chain Gauge Whitelisting_ ### Specification This proposal will: - Confirm the first batch of 9 Gauges (Senior PYTs) - Approve the Gauges Whitelisting framework ### Next Steps We are going to leave this thread open for discussions and in about 3 days, if there are no objections, we will proceed with the Temperature Check. ---

Can $IDLE tokens on Paladin be used to vote on the temperature check? ---
