[SIP3.11.5] Delegate Rewards Distribution (February)

1. Overview:

This proposal continues the delegate compensation program first approved in [SIP5.6], this time applying it to February 2026. The goal is to sustain high-quality governance engagement and reward meaningful participation from active delegates across Lazy Summer Protocol governance.

Extending [SIP3.11.4] (January Distribution) to [SIP3.11.5] (February Distribution).

This proposal includes the 2nd distribution of rewards to Aerodrome Metagovernance signers.


2. Motivation:

Active and accountable delegates remain a cornerstone of protocol governance. February 2026 focused heavily on formalizing operating standards around DAO-risk-managed capital, improving governance tooling, and increasing transparency around risk, reporting, and incentives. Compensating delegates for their time and contributions ensures continued accountability and engagement.


3. Specification:

Item Value
Rewards Token SUMR
Source of Rewards Lazy Summer DAO Treasury (Base)
Total Distribution Amount 320,529.98 SUMR
Distribution Schedule One-time disbursement following onchain approval
Eligibility Period February 1st – February 28th (2026)
Distribution Method Direct transfer to verified delegate wallet addresses

3.1 Aerodrome Metagovernance Stipend

As covered in the [SIP5.18] the Aerodrome Metagovernance signers requested to include a monthly payment. Labs Co team members (@chrisb, @halaprix, @jensei) has confirmed waiver of their stipend - therefore, the DAO spending on monthly payment now includes @MasterMojo and @Sixty in February delegate rewards distribution.

  1. Volume-Weighted Average Trading Price (VWAP)
    For VWAP we need price×volume. We will exclude first and last 5 days of the month from the VWAP weighting* (meaning VWAP is for Feb 06-23).

VWAP (Feb 06–23) ≈ $0.004598

  1. Convert $500 to SUMR
  • 500/0.004598 ≈ 108,715 SUMR
  1. Transfer 500 USDC to each signer to lift up the strain on SUMR in the DAO Treasury (Total 1000 USDC).

4. Risk Assessment:

  • Onchain vote will authorize SUMR disbursement from the DAO Treasury.
  • Delegate participation data was sourced from the Lazy Summer Governance Dashboard.
  • The final delegate list and breakdown is made publicly available here.
  • Any entity may only receive compensation through a single verified delegate address.
  • Suspected Sybil delegates will be excluded, subject to verification by @Recognized_Delegates.

5. Voting:

If YES - Approve 320,529.98 SUMR disbursement to eligible February delegates.

If NO - Do not compensate for February; continue with further discussion.
