SUMR Staking V2 is Live: Earn USDC

SUMR Staking V2 is officially live.
This isn't just a technical upgrade; it is a fundamental shift in the tokenomics of the Lazy Summer Protocol. We are moving from simple governance to a model that rewards long-term conviction with real yield.
What’s new in Staking V2
Dual Rewards (USDC): You no longer earn more governance tokens. You now earn a share of protocol revenue (fees from deposits), paid out in USDC-denominated LV tokens.
Compound Growth: Your USDC rewards auto-compound within our strategies.
Locking & Multipliers: You can now lock your SUMR (from 3 months to 3 years) to significantly boost your reward weight.
The Road to TGE: January 21, 2026
With the Token Generation Event approaching on January 21, Staking V2 is your mechanism to signal confidence and maximize your stack before SUMR becomes liquid and tradable.
How to migrate from V1 to V2
If you are currently staked in V1:
Navigate to the SUMR Rewards tab on the Summer.fi app.
