BIP-105: Infrastructure Funding Extension for October 2025 – March 2026

Intro

For several consecutive six-month cycles the Beets treasury has supported a capped infrastructure funding model to cover the operational costs of the beets.fi platform. This proposal seeks to extend the existing funding model for another six-month period, continuing the monthly cap of $4,500 USDC.

Motivation

Infrastructure is a critical pillar of the beets.fi platform’s performance and availability. Costs directly correlate with platform traffic, transaction volumes, and the infrastructure resources required to deliver reliable service. While recent months have shown an encouraging decrease in monthly expenditures due to backend streamlining, we must remain equipped to handle spikes in demand and support the evolving platform.

Summary of Expenditure April 2025 - September 2025:

Risks

The primary risk continues to be unforeseen spikes in infrastructure demand, which could temporarily push monthly costs beyond the cap. Should this occur, a separate BIP will be submitted to the community for approval of any additional funding.

Impacts and Specification

Treasury: Will fund monthly infrastructure costs up to $4,500 per month from October 2025 through March 2026, for a maximum spend of $27,000 over the period.

Execution Plan

The DAO treasury will cover the infrastructure costs up to a maximum of $4500 per month for the next six months, starting in October 2025 and ending in March 2026. This represents a potential maximum expenditure of $27,000 for this period.
