### 1. Overview:

This proposal continues the delegate compensation program first approved in **[[SIP5.6]](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip5-6-retroactive-compensation-for-delegates/229)**, this time applying it to **December 2025**. The goal is to sustain high-quality governance engagement and reward meaningful participation from active delegates across Lazy Summer Protocol governance.

> Extending **[[SIP3.11.2]](https://forum.summer.fi/t/sip3-11-2-delegate-rewards-distribution-november/538)** (November Distribution) to **[SIP3.11.3]** (December Distribution).

I would propose to refrain from January distribution until the Lazy Summer DAO and [@Recognized\_Delegates](https://forum.summer.fi/groups/recognized_delegates) agree on the new iteration of the Delegate Rewards Distribution for the year 2026. (Discussion has been kicked-off **[here](https://forum.summer.fi/t/delegate-responsibilities-next-steps-for-compensation-framework/568)**.

* * *

### 2. Motivation:

Active and accountable delegates remain a cornerstone of protocol governance. December 2025 shifted the DAO into a more **reflective and forward-looking mode** ; addressing incident response, protocol security, user trust, and launch-readiness ahead of SUMR’s next phase. Compensating delegates for their time and contributions ensures continued accountability and engagement.

* * *

### 3. Specification:

| **Item** | **Value** |
| --- | --- |
| Rewards Token | **[SUMR](https://basescan.org/token/0x194f360D130F2393a5E9F3117A6a1B78aBEa1624)** |
| Source of Rewards | Lazy Summer **[DAO Treasury](https://basescan.org/address/0x447bf9d1485abdc4c1778025dfdfbe8b894c3796)** (Base) |
| Total Distribution Amount | **165,650.00 SUMR** |
| Distribution Schedule | One-time disbursement following onchain approval |
| Eligibility Period | December 1st – December 31th (2025) |
| Distribution Method | Direct transfer to verified delegate wallet addresses |

* * *

### 4. Risk Assessment:

- Onchain vote will authorize SUMR disbursement from the DAO Treasury.

- Delegate participation data was sourced from the **[Lazy Summer Governance Dashboard](https://dune.com/lazysummer/lazy-summer-dao-governance)**.

- The final delegate list and breakdown is made publicly available **[here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTOcW98nSMK1XdSVZ268c3M6MCqY-xvlr7Ji1GUjk0v9V_iXJfrpqE1wxJW1JcvRAaSb6LApoz3xonx/pubhtml#gid=1266679745)**.

- Any entity may only receive compensation through a single verified delegate address.

- Suspected Sybil delegates will be excluded, subject to verification by [@Recognized\_Delegates](https://forum.summer.fi/groups/recognized_delegates).

* * *

### 5. Voting:

> If **YES** - Approve **165,650.00 SUMR** disbursement to eligible **December** delegates

> If **NO** - Do not compensate for **December** ; continue with further discussion.
