About Us

Curia Lab is a team of seasoned DAO governance researchers, data analysts, blockchain engineers, and developers. We are committed to strengthening the DAO ecosystem through specialized tools, insights, and delegate services. Our mission extends beyond tool creation; we actively engage in DAO governance as a professional delegate, leveraging our hands-on experience to refine our toolings for each DAO. This commitment to being part of the governance process ensures that our tools are battle-tested and evolved, addressing the challenges of data inaccessibility, opaque delegate actions, and governance risk assessments with precision and relevance.

Our vision is a future where the governance of DAOs is seamless, fully transparent, and informed by comprehensive data. We aspire to create an ecosystem where the influence of delegates is clear and their contributions are measurable, enabling real-time monitoring and strategic enhancement of DAO operations. We see Curia Lab at the forefront, leading DAOs into an era where every decision is strategic and data-driven, ensuring a resilient and dynamic governance model.

Our Goal for Lazy Summer DAO

Curia Lab aims to contribute to informing and transparent governance by leveraging our analytical capabilities to process onchain data, identify trends, and offer insights that inform governance decisions, while actively monitoring protocol operations and proposals to enhance transparency and understanding for the broader community. Furthermore, we are committed to driving strategic protocol development by actively participating in discussions and voting on proposals that align with the protocol’s long-term vision, focusing on improvements to yield generation strategies, security enhancements, and user experience.

We are excited to bring our skills and hands-on experience in DAO governance to the Lazy Summer DAO, helping it achieve its full potential as a emerging DeFi platform.

Disclosure

As a governance and DAO research team, Curia Lab collaborates with several other projects and DAOs, including Optimism, Safe, Arbitrum, Gnosis, and Zksync, to enhance governance processes. We are committed to maintaining transparency and avoiding conflicts of interest in our work with the Lazy Summer Protocol community. When required, we will disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may arise in the course of our engagement, ensuring impartial contributions.

Waiver of Liability

By delegating to Curia Lab for the Lazy Summer DAO, delegators acknowledge and agree that Curia Lab will participate in Lazy Summer DAO governance on a best-effort basis and will not be liable for any form of damages related to participation in the Lazy Summer DAO.

Compensating active delegates for their research and participation ensures that decisions are well-informed and the protocol is guided by engaged experts, which is essential for its long-term health and success.

[SIP2.24] Add 2 Arks to LazyVault_LowerRisk_USDC Fleet on mainnet
We voted FOR this proposal because it strengthens our core LowerRisk_USDC vault on Mainnet. Adding these two new, vetted strategies enhances diversification, which is the most critical element for a lower-risk product. This action reduces concentration in existing strategies and ensures the vault remains a robust and reliable option for conservative users.

[SIP2.24] Add 14 Arks to LazyVault_HigherRisk_USDC Fleet on mainnet
We voted FOR this proposal because it significantly expands the strategic options within the HigherRisk_USDC vault. Onboarding fourteen new ARKs provides broader diversification and gives users curated access to a wider spectrum of cutting-edge yield opportunities. This is essential for keeping our higher-risk product competitive and aligned with its mandate to explore more advanced DeFi strategies.

[SIP2.24] Add 1 Ark to LazyVault_LowerRisk_WETH Fleet on mainnet
We voted FOR this proposal to enhance the diversification of the LowerRisk_WETH vault. Even the addition of a single, high-quality strategy is a crucial step in reducing dependency on the existing ARKs. This action reinforces the stability and safety of a core product for our WETH depositors.

[SIP2.24] Add 8 Arks to LazyVault_HigherRisk_WETH Fleet on mainnet
We voted FOR this proposal to significantly upgrade the strategic diversity of the HigherRisk_WETH vault.

This is a vital update for a key Mainnet product.

[SIP5.5.2] August Payouts for Referral Campaign

We voted FOR this proposal as it is the necessary operational payout for the on-chain referral program previously approved by the DAO. This program is a key growth engine for the protocol, and promptly rewarding the integrators and users who bring in new TVL is crucial for building trust and ensuring the program’s long-term success.

[SIP2.21] Add 1 Ark to LazyVault_HigherRisk_WETH Fleet on mainnet
We voted FOR this proposal because it adds a new type of yield to the ETH vault called arbitrage. Instead of relying only on lending, this strategy profits from market discounts on stETH. This is a smart way to diversify returns and is a perfect fit for the High-Risk Vaults.

[SIP3.10] Governance Staking Rewards Extension

We are voted FOR this proposal because it is a short, 25-day extension to maintain staking momentum for the upcoming Governance v2. We support this to prevent a disruptive incentive gap before the transition happens.

[SIP2.30] Add 1 Ark to LazyVault_HigherRisk_USDC Fleet on mainnet

We voted FOR this proposal because it adds a new dimension to the USDC Low-Risk vault. InfiniFi’s siUSD provides access to an institutional-grade yield source, while its Senior Tranche structure offers a built-in layer of protection against initial losses which perfectly aligns with the vault’s conservative risk mandate.

[SIP2.39] Offboard the Silo susdx/usdc (127) market from the Arbitrum USDC Vault using Sweep via Timelock

We voted FOR this proposal as a necessary one-time event to resolve the $1.5M bad debt crisis and restore the health of the Arbitrum USDC Vault. While socializing a loss is a difficult decision, leaving a failed asset in the vault only prolongs uncertainty and blocks recovery. This action provides a clean break, allows for the continuation of SUMR rewards, and enables the vault to move forward with new and healthy strategies.

[SIP5.14] Multi-Chain Raft Address Update

We voted FOR this proposal as it is a necessary protocol upgrade that provides governance with the proper tools to manage future bad debt events, a critical capability after the recent USDX incident.
