The Balancer community has released a "Fork and Rebirth" proposal led by MAXYZ to establish an official fork ensuring protocol continuity regardless of potential shutdown outcomes. Under the plan, liquidity, team members, partners, users, and intellectual property would migrate to the new entity, with existing pools and treasury operations scheduled to continue through Q2 2027. Approximately 6 million uncirculated BAL tokens are designated as pre-fork funding, while the Balancer treasury would receive 10% of any new token's fully diluted valuation in advance if a TGE occurs post-fork. The forked entity would also secure a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive license to Balancer's relevant intellectual property. The proposal remains in the discussion phase and may be revised based on community feedback before proceeding to a Snapshot vote.
