Proposals Currently With the Sophons:
- KIP-36 - Expand Funding and Strategies of Testing Wallet: Originally $600K was allocated to the testing wallet effort. Due to the success in generating yield, an additional $400K in DAI funding is being requested.
- KIP-37 - Discretionary Swapping of Like-Kind Assets: Currently, the treasury must go through the slow governance process to swap like-kind assets. This proposal would mitigate risk by giving the treasury the discretion to swap between stablecoins, Ethereum/ETH derivatives, and Bitcoin/BTC derivatives.
- KIP-38 - Replenishing Discretionary Allocation Fund: This gives the treasury the ability to quickly react to and take advantage of market opportunities in a non-public manner. This proposal would replenish the cap to the lesser of $5M or 5% of the treasury’s notional value.
- KIP-39 - Deployment of Additional ETH for Yield Generation: The ETH yield generation experiment has been successful, so there is a desire to increase the limit to 80% of idle ETH.
Draft Administrative Proposals
- Labs Budget Request - This request would allocate USDC for Rook Labs through March 2023 in accordance with the official budget.
- Extend KIP-26 - This proposal extends KIP-12 and KIP-21, which granted leadership powers of the DAO to hazard and JZ.
Draft Treasury Proposals
- mStable Withdrawal - Due to the precarious future of the mStable project, this proposal would terminate Rook’s position in the protocol and swap imUSD funds to USDC. The team proposes to fast-track this proposal due to the urgency, and as a test case for a fast-track process for future proposals. [6:30]
- Treasury Yield Management for USDC via USV - This proposal suggests investing 20% of the Rook DAO Treasury USDC holdings in Phuture’s USDC savings vault (USV). [13:30]
Governance Process
- A Sophon (Doge) is stepping down from his role, so the team is open to nominations for candidates as development continues on the Sophon replacement process. Participants proposed Wes as a candidate. [17:45]
