[SIP5.17.1] SUMR Liquidity management on Base - SUMR amount

1. Overview:

This is a sub-sip for SIP5.17 to request 5.4M additional SUMR to bring the initial protocol owned liquidity closer to a balanced position.


2. Motivation:

As was outlined in the RFC and SIP5.17, the PoL position that will be deployed 24h after the transferability event has a targeted composition of:

  • $100,000 USDC

  • ~$100,000 USD worth of SUMR at deployment

The exact SUMR amount would be determined using the spot price after the initial price discovery period.

Now that we passed the very initial price discovery phase, the original 600k SUMR deposit to bootstrap the PoL is far from sufficient, and results in:

  • $100,000 USDC

  • ~$5,000 USD worth of SUMR

At current price we would need 11.9m SUMR for a 50/50 position, this looks like an unreasonable big SUMR amount, we therefore propose to use initially 6m SUMR (an additional 5.4M), this would result in an initial position of:

  • $100,000 USDC

  • ~$50,000 USD worth of SUMR


3. Specification:

3.1 Amounts

We propose to fund the multisig with an additional 5.4M SUMR.


4. Risk Assessment:

Since there is a 6 days voting time, we will start with the creating the initial position exactly 24 hours after the transferability event using the 100k USDC and initial 600k SUMR.

This will be a very unbalanced position (~95/5), but for now this is not a big risk as we start with a very broad range and currently there is a nice quantity of liquidity in the pool due to the Aero incentives.


5. Voting:

If YES - Approve transfer of 5.4M SUMR to the PoL multisig; to add to the existing PoL position.

If NO - Do not transfer funds at this time; We continue with the initial 100,000 USDC and 600,000 SUMR PoL.

Agreed. Also, time is vital here.
Hopefully we can move forward with the proposal quickly. Also wondering, where does this $SUMR come from? 50/50 DAO and Foundation?

Imo this SUMR would most likely need to come from the DAO treasury as it is connected directly to the PoL that we are building here.

I am for this proposal and think we should get this onchain to vote asap.

+1 on this, going to onchain vote immediately, we need to balance out the position ASAP. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a bit for the full SIP lifecycle to be complete.

I am fully in favor of this proposal. The current disparity between the USDC and SUMR value in the PoL is too large to ignore. Adding the 5.4M SUMR is a necessary step to ensure we have a functional liquidity position on Base - post ignition phase.

i see this is already gone to onchain.

Hello everyone, posting a quick transparency update on the DAO multisig execution for the SUMR liquidity management on Base.

Multisig Address: 0x89b39e0007577e5aE3d9f87CAaeaC4d2A3db5B34
Arcadia Account Address: 0x18A2D63cE434DD77e2b518458E636aA7ff4d7cc8
Pool Dashboard: Arcadia SUMR Pool
Account Dashboard: Arcadia Account


Transactions executed so far:

  1. Safe Account Creation:TX
  2. Arcadia Account Setup:TX
  3. Initial USDC & SUMR Deposit:TX
  4. Additional SUMR Deposit (5.4M):TX
  5. DAO Treasury Yield Routing Setup:TX
  6. Initial AERO Yield Forwarded to DAO Treasury:TX

All actions have been executed via the multisig, following prior SIP approvals and consistent with the mandate given.


Next steps:

  • Forwarding yield directly to the Aerodrome Metagovernance multisig ([SIP5.18])
  • Adjusting liquidity allocations as needed
  • Ongoing monitoring and reporting via the Arcadia dashboard

This is part of our commitment to full transparency, ensuring the DAO maintains visibility and control over protocol-owned liquidity.
