Hey Summer.fi frens,

This week on Summer.fi was pure signal.

Staking, governance, and the next vault era are all converging, and the theme stays the same: Do Less.

If a protocol doesn’t solve a real problem, the token won’t fix it

That’s the core thesis behind $SUMR staking: governance participation + protocol fee alignment.

Community Call #12 was here

In case you missed the governance call, it was about Governance Alignment & Delegate Rewards V2 Workshop (Curia-led).
If delegates + incentives matter to you, this is the room.

Here’s the full agenda:

Community Call #12: Governance Alignment & Delegate Rewards V2 Workshop

Community Call #12 will focus on alignment, iteration, and what’s next.

Call Details Date: Thursday, February 19th @ 13:00 CET Location: Google Meet Duration: ~60-75 minutes Agenda ...

DAO Risk-Managed Vaults are coming soon

What if you could access DeFi's highest yields without the full-time job of managing risk?
DAO risk-managed vaults launch next week, powered by a purpose-built risk framework developed in partnership with BlockAnalitica that scores, categorizes, and constrains every yield source automatically.

Learn all about what is coming and the risk framework that will underlie it

“If you don’t know how the yield is generated, you are the yield.”
