Thanks to everyone here for the feedback and discussion. And especially thanks to @BlockAnalitica for their proposal of the risk Framework.

What I’d like to do here is put down a proposal for the next steps and to gain alignment around initial vault (not arks) parameters to ensure as a DAO we are aligned and we can then proceed with the first votes this Wednesday 28th Jan.

In summary, I would like to propose we move forward with the setup and creation of the DAO Managed Vaults in order to launch them at the earliest opportunity.

**Risk Framework**  
Move BlockAnalitica [Framework Proposal](https://forum.summer.fi/t/ba-labs-framework-design-proposal-for-summerfi-dao-managed-fleets/651) to SIP for the upfront 25,000 USDC payment to create the Risk Framework needed for the DAO Managed Vaults.

## Key Vault Params

- **Vault Fee’s** → I would like to propose that these Vaults have the same Vault Fee’s as the actively managed vaults (1% stables, 0.3% volatile) however with a different expense structure;

- **Keepers** → I propose the same keepers are enabled as the existing Actively Managed Vaults, currently operated by [Summer.fi](http://Summer.fi) and under address: 0xc2a8467a52Fec8383c424149000cf384de9Ba1B5

- **Guardian Role** → I propose adding the Guardian role to the Vaults, ensuring it can pause all markets if required. Members of the guardian role currently under discussion here: [[RFC] Establish Guardian Module & Emergency Risk Controls](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-establish-guardian-module-emergency-risk-controls/613)

## Timings

`28-Jan-26`

- Promote BA Risk Framework to SIP

`Week of 2-Feb-26`

- Deploy Vaults to the following chains;
  - Base - USDC / ETH
  - Ethereum - USDC / ETH

- Initial Arks proposed to the forum (without risk params) for deployment the following week

`Week of 9-Feb-26`

- Agree the initial arks risk params as per the new Risk Framework
- Deploy first arks
- Aim to have Guardians live, or at minimum proposed too
- Promote to SIP the onboarding and first set of risk params of new markets

`Week of 16-Feb-26`

- Go live with DAO Managed Vaults and the first `arks`

Tagging [@Recognized\_Delegates](https://forum.summer.fi/groups/recognized_delegates) here for your feedback on plans.

Unless any major concerns raised, I will promote to SIP later on Tuesday the vote for the BA Framework Proposal.
