[SIP3.14] SUMR rewards for the HyperEVM Vaults

1. Overview:

This SIP proposes Vault Rewards for the two newly launching Vaults on HyperEVM, USDC and USDT - as originally outlined here: [RFC] Deploy Lazy Summer Protocol to Hyperliquid HyperEVM (and pre-deploy on select new networks with 0 deposit caps)

It is proposed to target the same 16%, with an assumption that around $5M of TVL will be obtained on each vault.

From Thursday 15th Jan, the expected launch day, there are only 25 days left in the current reward cycle.


2. Motivation:

SUMR rewards will be important to get the flywheel going for the new hyperEVM vaults. Given that only 25 days remain in the current rewards cycle, an average of 5M TVL is assumed for both.

With the target 16% APY at this assumed average, this gives around 8,767 SUMR per day to each vault. This is roughly around the same level as the Base USDC Vault.

Given the Vaults will launch prior to the vote passing, it is proposed to start the vault rewards from the launch day, and if passed, all rewards will be backdated from the start point.


3. Specification:

The rewards will be issued through MERKL, claimable again on Base as always. The full merkl specification will be updated here once it has been created and ready for the vote.

USDC Vault

  • 8,767 SUMR per day
  • Duration: 25 days
  • Start: 15/01/26 12:00 UTC / 1768478400
  • Total SUMR: 219,178

USDT Vault

  • 8,767 SUMR per day
  • Duration: 25 days
  • Start: 15/01/26 12:00 UTC / 1768478400
  • Total SUMR: 219,178

4. Risk Assessment:

Given the protocol and DAO use Merkl for all Vault rewards, this is not expected to have any impact on Risk to the Lazy Summer Protocol or the DAO.


5. Voting:

A YES vote will execute a MERKL campaign creation, transferring 438,356 SUMR tokens from the Summer Timelock Controller on Base to the Merkl distribution contracts.

A NO vote will not execute any code, and as such no rewards will be set for the HyperEVM Vaults through this SIP Proposal.

This aligns cleanly with the existing rewards framework, keeps parity with Base vault incentives, and makes sense given the short remaining window in the current cycle. Backdating from launch is pragmatic and avoids penalizing early users.

No major concerns from my side, just excitement to see HyperEVM launches properly incentivized out of the gate.

This has now gone to vote, with the rewards starting today (15th Jan) at 16:00 UTC when it was announced to the community.
