In final step before implementing YB token emissions, Yield Basis proposes to add gauges to WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC pools

Yield Basis has proposed adding gauges for its WBTC, cbBTC, and tBTC pools to the GaugeController, describing this as the final governance step needed before activating YB token emissions. The proposal appears on Yield Basis’s governance page and matches the project’s broader design, in which token holders lock YB into veYB and vote to direct emissions toward specific liquidity pools. The change matters because gauges are the mechanism that determines where protocol incentives flow. Yield Basis is a BTC liquidity protocol built around wrapped Bitcoin assets that aims to let LPs earn trading fees while avoiding impermanent loss, using Curve-based infrastructure and a crvUSD-backed leverage model. Adding these gauges would enable the protocol to start distributing YB emissions to the three BTC pools, which should increase the attractiveness of liquidity provision and deepen the protocol’s incentive structure. The proposal also fits into a larger rollout in which Yield Basis has already launched or discussed BTC pools and governance steps tied to emissions and liquidity expansion.
