### 1. Overview:

As outlined in the RFC ([[RFC] Extend and Adjust Vault Reward Emissions](https://forum.summer.fi/t/rfc-extend-and-adjust-vault-reward-emissions/696)) to extend the previous Vault Rewards, it proposed adding 5,000 SUMR per day to the newly launched DAO Managed Vaults.

Now these Vaults have been proposed to vote [here](https://gov.summer.fi/dao/proposal/64074972547510460911253818807502957313217592053322321208773658090780432639394) and [here](https://gov.summer.fi/dao/proposal/1701593463711645997619194835353160088190902260466034458933593775278993934360) and appear on track for passing, this SIP proposes to add SUMR rewards to these two DAO Risk-Managed Vaults on Ethereum for what will be the remaining days of the original 90 in the RFC.

* * *

### 2. Motivation:

In order to incentivise early usage of the DAO Risk-Managed Vaults, it is proposed to add SUMR rewards at a similar level to that which was set to the HyperEVM Vaults when they launched which attracted good, early TVL at the start.

* * *

### 3. Specification:

**USDC DAO Risk-Managed Vault**  
Address: 0xd77F9a9F2b0C160dB3e9dC2Cce370c1a740C76fc  
SUMR per day: 5,000  
Date Start: 24th Feb 16:00 UTC  
Total Period: 75 Days  
Ending: 10th May 00:00 UTC (same as other extended rewards)  
Total SUMR to transfer: 375,000  
Distribution: MERKL (2% fee)

**WETH DAO Risk-Managed Vault**  
Address: 0x0C1FBCCC019320032D9acD193447560C8C632114  
SUMR per day: 5,000  
Date Start: 24th Feb 16:00 UTC  
Total Period: 75 Days  
Ending: 10th May 00:00 UTC (same as other extended rewards)  
Total SUMR to transfer: 375,000  
Distribution: MERKL (2% fee)

* * *

### 4. Risk Assessment:

Given the extensive use of MERKL throughout Summer and the Lazy Summer Protocol, it is not expected to add any additional risk to the protocol or the DAO.

* * *

### 5. Voting:

Voting **YES** will execute the MERKL campaign creation and transfer a total of 750,000 to the MERKL distribution contract from the Summer Treasury on Base. Voting **NO** will not execute any campaign creation and no SUMR will transfer from the timelock.
