ETH has underperformed this cycle with much of its narrative and spotlight overshadowed by several other projects and assets
The majority of the DAOs treasury has been sitting stagnant idly holding ETH Some has finally been staked but earning low yield
If this status quo continues, then the limited treasury will continue to cause negative sentiment to which people feel that the treasury is too insignificant to really achieve anything nor be valuable enough to divest. So it would be a better idea to invest
Given market is likely to recover in 2025 over the coming months. And large caps are significantly down over 40-80%. Now is a low risk period to accumulate other assets.
High level proposal is to swap at least 10 ETH into large cap assets, with a small portion into higher risk assets
Large caps (80% of the funds in descending amounts): SOL, SUI, AVAX, XRP, BNB, TRX Sol- 40% SUI- 20% AVAX, TRX, XRP, BNB - 10%
Higher risk exotic assets (20% of the funds in equal amounts): LINK, PEPE, DOGE, BRETT, WIF
The idea behind the strategy is that:
# Key milestones:
it is important to recognise key ROI milestones so we can determine instances to "take profits" and convert back into ETH or stablecoins if we choose and/or continue to hold these assets
the goal is not to try and time the tops or bottoms. But each time the value of the invested assets outperforms ETH by a factor that is a multiple of 50% i.e. 1.5x, 2x, 2.5x etc then the multisig committe should be empowered to convert these assets back into ETH or stables to lock in and preserve the gains for the community
given that there is NO NEGATIVE downside in taking profits. There should be no need for a proposal to be passed each time to take profits, as the lead time alone could also mean time sensitive window to take profits is missed.
Any profits/gains attained from this endeavour will benefit and empower the DAO to achieve further activities and grow using its increased treasury
a second choice is available to increase the invested allocation to 20ETH if the sum of choice 1 (10eth) and choice 2 (20eth) is greater than choice 3 (reject both options) then the proposal should pass as long as it reaches qorum given both choice 1 and 2 are both in favour with the distinction merely being the amount approved
The choice with the most votes (choice 1 or 2) determines the amount to be invested
Technical details:
Some L1 assets outside of Ethereum ecosystem have bridged assets that mirror the price but in the form of ERC20 coins, so those will be preferred over creating a new wallet
The overall proposal expects the upside benefit of 2x up to several multiples in ROI gains, with any downside exposure to be more than losing 12% of assets from 1 insecure wallet. Therefore any concerns of technical solution or wallet solution should not even be a concern if you are willing to accept the fundamental risk of thisdiversification proposal to begin with
TLDR: The strategy basically diversifies the DAO away from pure ETH with a balanced allocation, and risking only 20% of the approved amount into higher risk assets.
If we do not approve this, we risk sitting on a stagnant treasury for another crypto cycle
There is no more details I love you
