The Balancer increased the Pool

Balancer Boosted Pool is a feature of the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol – Balancer. A balancing enhanced pool allows liquidity providers (LPs) to deposit two types of assets into a pool – the underlying asset and the enhancing asset. The underlying asset usually has lower volatility, while the booster asset has higher volatility. The accelerator asset is used to generate additional returns for liquidity providers.

According to a recent report by Butchers, Balancer developed enhanced pools to improve LP capital efficiency. Investors can earn from trading commissions and interest thanks to the pools. LPs receive $0.50, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) treasury receives $0.175, and veBAL lockers receive $0.325 for every dollar of fees paid.
