Strengthening the Governance Flow: from RFC to SIP to Onchain

General Discussion Feeback

Hey everyone, so I have been spending some time lately reviewing past and current Summer Improvement Proposals (SIPs), and noticed a recurring pattern worth discussing.

It seems we have a handful of SIPs that never made it onchain, some likely got lost in the pipeline, others may not have gathered enough community traction, or in certain cases, the underlying opportunity simply expired or became less relevant by the time technical review was complete.

After looking through the process, I realized many of these were submitted directly as SIPs, skipping the RFC (Request for Comment) phase.

Strengthen the Governance Flow

I would like to double-down on Lazy Summer DAO process suggesting that all new strategy or vault proposals first come as RFCs, not directly as SIPs.

The idea is to:

  • Give the community and @Recognized_Delegates more space to discuss intent, fit, and timing.
  • Gauge interest and signal early via optional polls.
  • Only move to SIP once there’s visible alignment and readiness to focus on technical implementation and review.

I believe this wouldn’t make the process more bureaucratic, quite the opposite. It should make it more efficient, with fewer proposals getting stuck midway and a clearer path from idea to governance to onchain deployment.

Empowering Contributors

Also, while the SummerFi Development team drives much of the implementation today, I would love to see the broader Lazy Summer community feel more empowered to bring new deployments forward, especially devs and those with technical or DeFi integrations background.

Maybe we could even explore DAO bounties for high-quality community-built strategy integrations or research contributions; upon a review.

Open Questions

Would love to hear from:

With a growing user base and the Lazy Summer Protocol community, lets make the most out of the Summer!

Based on the calendar I don’t really see the problem you are describing. Can you share how we can see which are still hanging at the moment?
