Summary

This publication mainly proposes consolidating DAO assets in preparation of foreseeable DAO expenses. There are additional small treasury management actions included in this proposal for house-keeping.

Motivation

In preparation for the upcoming launch of the Merit program and the expected renewal of DAO service providers, this proposal intends to:

  • Consolidate the DAOs smaller holdings to GHO
  • Swap larger stablecoins holdings for GHO
  • Replenish the stablecoins Reserves in Aave v3
  • Migrate funds from Aave v2 to v3
  • Bridge funds from Polygon to Mainnet

To reduce governance burden, this proposal also includes withdrawing BAL and CRV from mainnet Aave v3 and v2, as well as withdrawing and bridging them from Polygon Aave v3 to Ethereum. All the BAL and CRV included in this proposal will then be transferred to the Aave Liquidity Committee (ALC) for its future allocation on behalf of the DAO.

In addition to the above, this proposal seeks to enable @karpatkey_TokenLogic to submit proposals via the Direct-to-AIP process which include actions similar to the above:

  • Consolidate treasury holdings to GHO
  • Migrate funds from v2 to v3 deployments
  • Move funds from Polygon to Ethereum

Thanks for the update @karpatkey_TokenLogic.
Can you elaborate on the strategy you’re going to use to swap existing assets to GHO?

Upon discussing with @bgdlabs this proposal, the following swaps have been omitted.

TUSD >> GHO
BUSD >> GHO

We expect to have the AIP up for voting later today.

Following on from Part A, Part B of this proposal will perform the following:

  • Transfer BAL and CRV to the ALC
  • Deposit ETH (all -1) and DAI into Aave v3
  • Swap 640k USDC from Aave v2 for GHO to provide funding for BGD
  • Swap DPI for GHO from Part A

The previous DPI swap is to be cancelled and resubmitted with a wider slippage setting.
