Overview:
This proposal continues the delegate compensation program first approved in [SIP5.6], this time applying it to September 2025. The goal is to sustain high-quality governance engagement and reward meaningful participation from active delegates across Lazy Summer Protocol governance.
Motivation:
Active and accountable delegates remain a cornerstone of protocol governance. September 2025 featured critical discussions around SUMR transferability, Governance v2 audit progress, and multiple RFCs for new vaults and integrations. Compensating delegates for their time and contributions ensures continued accountability and engagement.
Specification:
- Rewards Token: SUMR
- Source of Rewards: Lazy Summer DAO Treasury (Base)
- Total Distribution Amount: 140,599.95 SUMR
- Distribution Schedule: One-time disbursement following onchain approval
- Eligibility Period: September 1st - September 30th (2025)
- Distribution Method: Direct transfer to verified delegate wallet addresses
Risk Assessment:
- Onchain vote will authorize SUMR disbursement from DAO Treasury.
- Delegate participation data was sourced from the Lazy Summer Governance Dashboard.
- The final delegate list and breakdown is 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.
Voting:
If YES - Approve 140,599.95 SUMR disbursement to eligible September delegates.
If NO - Do not compensate for September; continue with further discussion.
