1. Overview:
This proposal continues the delegate compensation program first approved in [SIP5.6], this time applying it to December 2025. The goal is to sustain high-quality governance engagement and reward meaningful participation from active delegates across Lazy Summer Protocol governance.
Extending [SIP3.11.2] (November Distribution) to [SIP3.11.3] (December Distribution).
I would propose to refrain from January distribution until the Lazy Summer DAO and @Recognized_Delegates agree on the new iteration of the Delegate Rewards Distribution for the year 2026. (Discussion has been kicked-off here.
2. Motivation:
Active and accountable delegates remain a cornerstone of protocol governance. December 2025 shifted the DAO into a more reflective and forward-looking mode; addressing incident response, protocol security, user trust, and launch-readiness ahead of SUMR’s next phase. Compensating delegates for their time and contributions ensures continued accountability and engagement.
3. Specification:
| Item | Value |
|---|
| Rewards Token | SUMR |
| Source of Rewards | Lazy Summer DAO Treasury (Base) |
| Total Distribution Amount | 165,650.00 SUMR |
| Distribution Schedule | One-time disbursement following onchain approval |
| Eligibility Period | December 1st – December 31th (2025) |
| Distribution Method | Direct transfer to verified delegate wallet addresses |
4. Risk Assessment:
- Onchain vote will authorize SUMR disbursement from the DAO Treasury.
- Delegate participation data was sourced from the Lazy Summer Governance Dashboard.
- The final delegate list and breakdown is made publicly available here.
- Any entity may only receive compensation through a single verified delegate address.
- Suspected Sybil delegates will be excluded, subject to verification by @Recognized_Delegates.
5. Voting:
If YES - Approve 165,650.00 SUMR disbursement to eligible December delegates
If NO - Do not compensate for December; continue with further discussion.
