1. Summary:

This SIP proposes allocating 5,000,000 SUMR (≈ $1,000,000 USD @ $200M FDV) to fund the SUMR Media Partner Program, designed to amplify awareness and adoption during and after SUMR’s Token Transferability Event.

A performance-based bonus pool of up to 2,500,000 SUMR (≈ $500,000 USD @ $200M FDV ) will be reserved for media partners who directly drive >$100M in attributable TVL .

All unused SUMR from either pool will be returned to the Lazy Summer DAO Treasury after the program concludes.

Motivation

The SUMR TGE marks the transition of Lazy Summer Protocol into its next growth phase. To ensure this milestone reaches a wide and credible audience, Lazy Summer will collaborate with leading DeFi media partners capable of delivering credible, high-quality, and measurable campaigns.

This program positions SUMR as DeFi’s most productive governance token through long-form storytelling, educational content, and influencer-led awareness. Each partner’s incentives will align directly with measurable protocol outcomes such as TVL, user acquisition, and staking participation.

2. Specification:

Total Allocation

All unused SUMR will be returned to the DAO Treasury within 30 days post-campaign.

Performance Bonus Pool

A 2,500,000 SUMR (≈ $500,000 @ $200M FDV) bonus pool will reward partners that drive exceptional, measurable outcomes.

North Star Metrics of Success

3. Rationale:

This initiative aligns SUMR incentives with measurable protocol growth.

It emphasizes performance over exposure, rewarding outcomes such as TVL inflows, SUMR staking, and verified user growth, not vanity metrics.

The structure ensures:

• Accountability, Partners only unlock bonuses for verifiable impact.
• Efficiency, Fixed tiered budgets ensure predictable spend.
• Prudence, All unused SUMR is returned to the DAO Treasury.
• Scalability , The bonus pool provides flexibility for outsized campaign results.

This design helps Lazy Summer scale awareness in a high-leverage, capital-efficient way.

4. Next Steps:

1. DAO Vote: Approve allocation of 5M SUMR for media packages and 2.5M SUMR for performance bonuses.
2. Finalize Media Partners: Select participants based on audience reach, alignment, and past credibility.
3. Finalize Agreements: Confirm deliverables, lockups, and reporting obligations.
4. Campaign Rollout: Launch coordinated content aligned with SUMR transferability.
5. Post-Campaign Reporting: Publish results, verify TVL inflows, and return unused SUMR to the treasury.
