Recent Events and News

Pending Proposals

  • Replenish Discretionary Investment Limit Funds: This proposal gives the treasury the ability to quickly react to and take advantage of market opportunities in a non-public manner. The proposal would replenish the cap to the lesser of $5M or 5% of the treasury’s notional value. [1:30]
  • 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. [2:15]
  • 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. [3:10]
  • 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. [3:50]
  • Updating Rook’s Governance: This draft is an effort to build upon KIP-0 to further outline the responsibilities of the various participants in the governance process. [23:00]

KIPs in Development

  • An emergency rebalancing proposal is being drafted that would allow the team to react quickly to market events, balancing speed versus risk. [5:10]
  • Approved Stablecoin Framework
  • Treasury Management Framework

News

  • Maple Finance was recently affected by an insolvent borrower failing to repay a multi-million dollar loan. Rook was previously exposed to Maple, but fully withdrew from pools months ago and is unaffected by this loan default. [6:30]
