## **Summary**
This SIP mirrors the recently proposed Syrup USDC integration [[SIP2.6] Onboard Maple Syrup USDC to the USDC Mainnet - Lower Risk Vault](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip2-4-onboard-maple-syrup-usdc-to-the-usdc-mainnet-lower-risk-vault/189) — **the only change is the deposit asset**. Add \*\* @Maple_Finance Syrup USDT\*\* to the **USDT Mainnet (Lower Risk)** vault in Lazy Summer Protocol.
- Syrup USDT offers the same transparent, over-collateralized RWA credit exposure as Syrup USDC, but denominated in **USDT** , making it great for the USDT vault.
- Maple has confirmed comparable withdrawal mechanics and liquidity assurances; see the Syrup discussion thread for background → [[RFC] Onboard Maple’s SyrupUSDC as a new ARK within the Mainnet USDC vault on Lazy Summer Protocol - #3 by BlockAnalitica](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-onboard-maple-s-syrupusdc-as-a-new-ark-within-the-mainnet-usdc-vault-on-lazy-summer-protocol/157/3).
## **Motivation**
1. **Expand yield sources** – gains exposure to Maple’s real-world-credit cash-flows, complementing pure DeFi lending ARKs.
2. **Attract new user types** – Maple lenders and institutional focus helps to create awareness among a key user group.
3. **Increase TVL** – broadening ark exposure of lower-risk ARKs helps push the protocol toward its next TVL milestone.
4. **Strengthen partnerships** – deepens collaboration with @Maple_Finance , opening the door for future Maple-based strategies.
## **Specifications**
| **Parameter** | **Value** |
| --- | --- |
| **Vault** | USDT Mainnet — Lower Risk |
| **Network** | Ethereum Mainnet |
| **New ARK** | [Syrup USDT](https://syrup.fi/lend) |
| **Contract** | 0x356B8d89c1e1239Cbbb9dE4815c39A1474d5BA7D |
| **Risk Level** | Lower Risk (pending @BlockAnalitica review) |
| **$SUMR Rewards** | To be determined in a follow-up SIP |

Looks great — aligning the USDT vault with Syrup’s RWA credit exposure is a smart parallel to the USDC integration.
I’d just suggest that once @BlockAnalitica confirms the risk profile, we queue both Syrup USDC and USDT ARKs for simultaneous deployment to streamline ops. Would also be good to clarify whether these positions will have any cooldown or notice period on withdrawals — even if comparable to USDC, surfacing that detail will help keep expectations aligned. Onwards after the sun🌞
