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](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/lazy-summer-dao-official/proposal/105670994645121758588622687508261001815608030772421876612981726645681636730840)**
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](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/lazy-summer-dao-official/proposal/76451397538666051313642654057378024714098039213830475499463502004268530741868)**
We voted **FOR** this proposal to significantly upgrade the strategic diversity of the HigherRisk\_WETH vault. Adding eight new ARKs introduces a much broader range of yield sources, keeping the vault competitive and providing WETH holders with more ways to access curated, higher-yield opportunities. This is a vital update for a key Mainnet product.

**[[SIP3.11.2] Delegate Rewards Distribution (November)](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/lazy-summer-dao-official/proposal/107234344035344530436842165650801937608492647827345952242490049229339218605964)**
We voted **FOR** this proposal because it’s a direct investment in the quality and reliability of our governance. 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
**[[SIP5.5.5] November Payouts for Referral Campaign](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/lazy-summer-dao-official/proposal/35464269988108916540036992255772566225043080679908995461102549274298336216329)**
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.
