[RFC] Onboard ETH (Aave, Compound, Spark) to the Mainnet Higher Risk ETH Fleet

1. Summary

This RFC proposes onboarding three new ETH-based ARKs, namely Aave v3, Compound v3, and Spark; to the Ethereum Mainnet Higher Risk ETH Fleet.

Each market would be added with identical parameters: 20,000 WETH fleet cap and 0.37 minimum buffer, stemming from assessment in @BlockAnalitica’s previous analysis (link).


2. Context & Motivation

The Higher Risk ETH Fleet on Ethereum Mainnet currently has limited diversification. With governance v2 coming online, improving vault competitiveness is becoming increasingly important, both for user returns, fulfilling Lazy Summer Protocol PMF, and for the overall attractiveness of the $SUMR token.

Aave v3, Compound v3, and Spark represent the largest, most battle-tested ETH lending markets across DeFi. Onboarding all three in parallel would:

  • Diversify risk across multiple blue-chip money markets.
  • Increase expected yield for the HR ETH Fleet.
  • Expand the fleet’s capacity to accommodate future inflows.
  • Prepare the protocol for improved discoverability (e.g., vaults.fyi rankings).
  • Align with @BlockAnalitica’s updated post-incident risk methodology.

This RFC seeks community feedback before formalizing the onboarding into a SIP.


3. Proposal

Onboard the following three WETH markets to the Ethereum Mainnet ETH Higher Risk Fleet, with equal parameters:

3.1 Specification (Aave v3)

Parameter Value
Vault ETH – Higher Risk
Network Ethereum Mainnet
New ARK Aave v3
Token WETH
Contract Address 0x87870Bca3F3fD6335C3F4ce8392D69350B4fA4E2
Risk Tier Higher Risk
FleetCap 20,000
FleetMinimumBuffer 0.37
$SUMR Rewards In line with ETH HR Fleet

3.2 Specification (Compound v3)

Parameter Value
Vault ETH – Higher Risk
Network Ethereum Mainnet
New ARK Compound v3
Token WETH
Contract Address 0xA17581A9E3356d9A858b789D68B4d866e593aE94
Risk Tier Higher Risk
FleetCap 20,000
FleetMinimumBuffer 0.37
$SUMR Rewards In line with ETH HR Fleet

3.3 Specification (Spark)

Parameter Value
Vault ETH – Higher Risk
Network Ethereum Mainnet
New ARK Spark
Token WETH
Contract Address 0xC13e21B648A5Ee794902342038FF3aDAB66BE987
Risk Tier Higher Risk
FleetCap 20,000
FleetMinimumBuffer 0.37
$SUMR Rewards In line with ETH HR Fleet

4. Open Questions

Feedback is specifically requested from @Recognized_Delegates and the wider Lazy Summer DAO community on proposed diversification of the Ethereum Mainnet $ETH HR Fleet.


5. Next Steps

  • Gather community and delegate feedback.
  • Finalize parameters
  • Promote this RFC to a SIP for on-chain vote

6. Informal Support Indicator

Should we proceed with drafting a SIP to onboard these three markets to the Mainnet Higher Risk ETH Fleet?

  • [YES] - promote to SIP
  • [NO] - needs more discussion

Diversifying the ETH fleet across the three most battle-tested protocols in DeFi is a win for security and for capacity. Fully support this.

Thank you @jensei - this one looks pretty straightforward - all 3 arks are active in Ethereum WETH LowerRisk fleet - they naturally meet the bar of Higher risk fleet.

This is a valuable addition - as some caps from Eth WETH HR fleet was recently zeroed. So it will enrich HR fleet - serving as a fallback whenever more aggressive HigherRisk akrs caps are limited.

Fully support this proposal.

thank you @techsqrt for your comment! This proposal has been promoted to the SIP stage now: [SIP2.40] Onboard ETH (Aave, Compound, Spark) to the Mainnet Higher Risk ETH Fleet
