This category is dedicated to research on protocol health and its collaterals, any events related to the technical and economics risks in Gearbox Protocol (current or hypothetical), and so on.

Gearbox Foundation has been established by GEAR DAO token holders in GIP-34. Gearbox Foundation does not control the protocol or its parameters, nor the funds in the DAO treasury - instead, it acts under GEAR DAO governance (which is ruled by token governance) and is able to execute some real-world needs the DAO needs as long as they are legally or conceptually possible.
