Overview
Based on community feedback and the lack of aggregators supporting these vaults and token it’s an excellent opportunity for the Lazy Summer Protocol to be the first large player in these markets.
Motivation
We’re now hovering around $40M in TVL, and it’s time to keep expanding, growing our user base while adding more vaults and Arks to maintain momentum. More options mean greater flexibility for users to deposit assets into the Lazy Summer Protocol, driving organic growth.
With Coinbase’s support at launch and the current stablecoin situation in Europe, EURC’s MiCA compliance positions it for wider adoption in the near future. This presents a unique opportunity for us to establish an early presence in the yield aggregator space for this token.
Specifications Code changes: To follow by someone who understand the code required.
Specifically what would be added though, as per this proposal: Vault Deposit Token: EURC Network: Base Contract Address: 0x60a3E35Cc302bFA44Cb288Bc5a4F316Fdb1adb42 Supported Arks at launch: Moonwell Flagship EURC, Steakhouse EURC, Fluid. Risk Level: Lower Risk.
Thanks @Javier for this proposal discussion. Indeed EURC is a MiCA compliant stablecoin issued by Circle with a current market cap of 118.2M mainly in Mainnet and Base.
EURC is exchanged as 1:1 to EUR fiat currency in Coinbase (main supporter), with no fees and free transfers to/from Base network. This makes on/off-ramp cost efficient using free SEPA transactions for all European Coinbase account holders.
Total EURC transaction volume is currently at 76.2B with a number of transactions at 1.4M
In general it would be great to get a sense of the short & long term vision with regards to asset options for the Lazy Summer Protocol. Perhaps @chrisb would like to share some thoughts here (probably worthy of its own thread).
Currently I’d regard Lazy Summer as a highly curated/opinionated set of options/assets, which I believe sets it apart from some of its more broad competitors. Ultimately I think people want to lazily earn in the asset they save in, whether that’s USD, EUR, GPB, YEN, ETH, BTC, or maybe something more exotic.
With regards to growth of the protocol, there are various directions:
Increase number of asset options available
Build out Lazy Summer into a household brand and massively increase the users who use it directly.
Get integrations from wallets, fintechs, exchanges, etc.
Get others to build out arks, and vaults on top of the Lazy Summer Protocol, and run their own branded entrances into the protocol
Thinking a bit ahead here, but hey: create a regulated ETF of one of the vaults, so you can even enter lazy summer with your pension funds.
All of these options have various trade-offs and it doesn’t hurt to try multiple paths in parallel. In this initial phase of the protocol many things should be tried - but having some direction can greatly benefit in choosing the right balance in trade-offs.
Appreciate all replies and I’m happy that we all share the vision for Lazy Summer Protocol. Being the 3rd day of the RFC I would like to see @BlockAnalitica parameters for the fleets and ARks proposed in this topic and the ARKs in [RFC] ARK onboarding for proposed EURC Vault on Base
I know EURe because of the Gnosis Card I use, but does it have more integrations outside Gnosis? I’ve looked and only found a small amount of liquidity on Ethereum. It’s also on Polygon and Gnosis, but didn’t find anymore. Probably missed something.
You are right, I just double checked and the EURe DeFi options are slim
A more advanced opportunity here would be a complex strategy of using Summer’s USDT, UDSC and USDS/DAI vaults while hedging exchange rate risk via decentralized perps…
We have run our risk model to assess the Arks in the newly proposed vault, Base-EURC, and reviewed the results. We have computed the following parameters:

The cooldown period for all Arks can be set to 10 minutes. These parameters ensure that the vault operates within controlled risk levels while supporting the anticipated demand.
Thanks BA. I strongly suggest that no Ark should have a maximum TVL weight of 100% or even 81%. Therefore, Morpho Moonwel’s EURC and Fluid’s EURC allocations should be reduced accordingly to maintain diversification.
Hey @Shadow_Holder, thanks for the observation. We have set these max parameters to manage overall risk, while actual diversification is maintained by the keepers. At lower fleet TVL, these parameters offer great flexibility to optimize for higher APY. However, as the fleet grows, Ark caps become more relevant, naturally enforcing diversification through risk constraints.
